If people send me ms word, I tell them not to send me proprietary
formats that do not adhere to open standards. Whoever they are. There
is an automatic filter in my incoming mail that tells them all

If they are savvy enough to have known how to send mail, I take great
pleasure in setting up a cron job to reply to them at decreasing
intervals urging them to desist, until they do.

Hello,
I have already posted something just like this about a hundred times, but what the
hell, why not one more?
I have been trying to compile glibc 2.2.2 for the past month, and it has come up with
the error:
"undefined symbol __NR_setgroups32" or something to that effect in the file
<progdir>/sys/unix/sysv/linux/i386/setgroups.c.
Can anyone help me? My system is this:
RH7.0 Upgraded to sources except for glibc( trying to replace that....)
gcc 2.95.3 -- pgcc
Celeron 500
Thanks,

Hello,
I upgraded my utils package, don't know which package, with source, but now hostname
won't work properly, so I cannot
use LPRng to print. If I have to revert back to my originals, I will scream, since
that is RH7, which is a piece of junk
Here is the whole problem:
on bootup, it sets my hostname to localhost.
on the login prompt it is changed to -f, probably an option from the old hostname that
is unsupported in mine.
lprngtool changes it to -s.
I have to manually change it to localhost.localdomain.

What! Windows use a standard? You gotta be kidding. No, Microsoft Word
produces .doc files which are undefined to the public (though some
people have cracked some of them), and they change the definition for
every release so as to encourage people to upgrade so they can read
the stuff produced by later versions that their friends and associates
are using, to keep outfits like Applixware and StarOffice always a
release behind.

I do not care for all the "power" anyway. I still have a heavy
expensive carton with all the fat books from Microsoft Press for
Running Access, Running Excel, Running PowerPoint, and the six or so
volume set on Visual C++. Bunch of crap and a waste of money. The
interesting thing is that those I know who champion that stuff have
never read those books, and do not even know they exist. There are
lots of features in there that are unusable because they are not a
mathematically orthogonal set that you could learn and remember.
Unused features are worse than useless because they increase the
complexity of the system without increasing the benefit. And we all
know that complexity is the kiss of death.

I do use mutt on this machine with the stuff that comes to my IP
address to which sendmail is listening. I do not give out this address
to anyone that is not willing to comply with my text-only rules. If
someone violates this, they go into /etc/mail/access their e-mail is
henceforth bounced. This has not yet happened. I have not configured
it to spawn external applications. Too much trouble to figure out how.
As I have said before, I have this machine to do stuff with, not to
spend all my time configuring it.

I do this, too. I use Netscape 4.76 through my ISP's mail server.
There, people can send me html e-mail if they wish, but I reply with
plain text, since the authors of Sendmail do not see fit to put proper
signatures in, as people who followed a previous tedious thread on
this topic may recall. My correspondents have gotten used to the fact
that that is the kind of nut that I am, and have learned to put up
with it and no longer bother to complain. But I still refuse Microsoft
attachements unless they import into Applixware with no effort on my
part.

They do not know it. They presumptuously assume everyone is running
the latest Microsoft stuff. Usually a higher version of Microsoftware
can import the last few versions of older Microsoftware, but not
indefinately. But if someone does not upgrade, severe social pressure
is brought to bear on them to upgrade. I have now established the
policy of ignoring the pressure, but I sometimes get rude about it.
People know I am some kind of a nut for refusing to use Microsoft
products anymore, and have, for the most part, stopped trying to get
me to use the latest Microsoft products. Some still offer me CD-ROMS
with Windows and stuff on it free, but it would be illegal for me to
accept them, since I refuse to pay a license fee, and would not want
to pollute this machine with it even if Bill Gates himself sent me a
free authorized copy.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear All,
yesterday my HD started showing signs of failure
so today I decided to replace it; what I did:
- installed the new HD as /dev/hda
- moved the old HD to /dev/hdc
- partitioned /dev/hda just like /dev/hdc only with slightly bigger
partitions
- copied all partitions from /dev/hdc? to /dev/hda? with 'cp -ax'
everything is fine except that I don't have a master boot record in
/dev/hda; so I did a quick search in the NGs and decided to do:
dd if=/boot/mbr.b of=/dev/hda
and lost all my partitions in the new HD :-((
so I lost my self-confidence and decided to ask you:
how do I install a master boot record in /dev/hda?
TIA!

There is here. If they send you an announcement of something you must
act on, and you refuse it, or discard it, or bounce it, then you get
in trouble and must pay penalties for not replying, or for acting
late, or for not acting at all.

They may desist all right, but then you are not informed about things
upon which you must act by a particular time (e.g., that a special
vote will be taken on some issue, or that a town meeting will be held
and how to get there).

Netscape 4.76 takes between 1.5 and 1.6 seconds to start up on my
machine. This does not include the time required to download my home

Netscape Communicator starts up 1 process on my machine, and does not
seem to fork off any more, no matter how many windows I open for it.
I did download Netscape 6 and installed it. After about 1/2 hour of
irritation later, I uninstalled it.

Every disk have a MBR, sometimes it is not initialized (aka: does not

I looked at my RH7.0 machine. I don't have the Yamaha CD-RW that you
have, but I do have a CD-R.
Let's see....
/etc/modules.conf
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
(there are others as well, but not pertenant to scsi)
# cat /proc/modules
.
.
aic7xxx 137432 8
My question is, do you have IDE disk drives? If not I'd think you could
remove any ide references in you module configs. If I remember
correctly, you don't need the ide-scsi thing unless you have an IDE
CD-RW. Which you don't.
I'm thinking that you need to have the scsi module loaded, and *not* the
ide_mod.
Hope this helps.

I am new to linux and new to this version of Oracle.
How about SQL Worksheet? Is it not included in this Oracle version?
I found ksqlplus but it seems to be made for Red Hat and Oracle 8.0.5 distro.
Any help appreciated!

mutt uses whatever is writtne in your ~/.mailcap, which is the standard
file to look for these associations.
Simply add
application/msword;abiword %s
video/mpeg;plaympeg %s
application/pdf;xpdf %s
application/postscript;kghostview %s
text/html;links %s
audio/x-pn-realaudio;/usr/lib/RealPlayer7/realplay
to your ~/.mailcap (change the application if you like others to handle
the different types) and you're good to go for most attachments.

Spending < 1 hour on finding out how things work will in the long run be
more efficient than n times being frustrated and having to start the
ppas per hadn after exporting the attachment etc.

Yes, it is a Rockwell modem; manufactured by Digicom. You'll have to find
the command reference for this modem before even beginning to wonder if a
Linux driver will ever exist. Microsoft Unimodem/V supports it "somewhat"
and the old registry entries created by the setup program cover "some" of
the functionality, but contain obvious flaws.
