They shouldn't need to buy anything to view .pdf documents you
send to them. The Acrobat Reader program is free and available
for many platforms. If you want them to send you documents in
.pdf format so you can enjoy them in their full gussied-up glory,
they can print to a file using a Postscript printer driver (I've
found Windows' IBM DeskJet Color driver works pretty well) and
use ghostscript (yes, it is available for Windows) to convert to
.pdf format. If they balk, thell them that .pdf files are immune
to macro viruses.

You need at least those options in your httpd.conf and the user
under which apache runs must have the appreciate rights to read
all the stuff:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Check the docs on apache.org for more info.
We can only hope, that your box is really not accessible from outside your
network.
If it should look nice, check the docs for the IndexOptions.

AAGGGHH! I didn't even think to check for that since the folder was in my
home directory! But since i created the folder as root, the file
permissions were not correct, and thus that was the problem. Thanks for the
tip, and hopefully this post will help others who have the same problem.

Subject: Red Hat Linux 7 Install problem (two HDs)
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 02:36:56 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Greetings...
First, the system specs:
--ABIT BE6-II motherboard w/ Soft Menu III and Award BIOS
--HPT370 UltraDMA IDE controller
--Pentium III 700MHz CPU
--Two 7200RPM ATA/100 15GB hard disks
--256MB PC-100 RAM
--DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive
--CD-RW drive
--Iomega 100MB Zip drive
My goal is to dedicate each hard disk to an OS; one will hold Windows ME and the
other will have Red Hat Linux 7. Both hard disks are sitting on one of the
UDMA/66 (HPT366) IDE channels (IDE3) in a master/slave configuration
(Windows/Linux respectively). I'm not using any external (PCI) IDE controllers.
When I initially installed Red Hat Linux, I had to move the slave disk to one of
the other (non-HPT366) IDE channels and set it up as a master. This was done
because I couldn't get the setup program to see the hard disk while it was on
the UDMA/66 controller.
The installation completed successfully. However, I can't move the disk from
the position it was in during the install. If I do, then the drive won't even
perform the LILO; my system will lock up.
My question is--can I reinstall Red Hat Linux 7 on the hard disk while it's on
the UDMA/66 controller? If not, then I'll have my Windows hard disk on the
UDMA/66 channel, and I'll have to set up my zip drive as a slave to the Linux
hard disk on the other channel. I'd rather have both hard disks (in a
master/slave config) sitting on the UDMA/66 controller (IDE3) instead of both on
different channels.
I'm guessing that a fix like this is as simple as editing the lilo.conf file.
But, I can't find the pattern for the hdx assignments (hda, hdc, hde, etc.) for
the 'root' and 'boot' lines of the file (the 'boot' line has /dev/hdx, and the
'root' section contains /dev/hdxy, where the 'y' is some number). I'd need to
know how to reassign those values for the Linux drive sitting on HPT366 IDE3
channel in a slave configuration (the Windows drive will be the master on that
same channel). I want to get this right the first time.
Whether the remedy is that simple or much more complicated, I'd appreciate any
help that can be offered. I've already been to
www.linuxtests.org/stepbystep/ultra66.htm . It was informative, but it didn't
quite answer my questions about the lilo.conf file.
Later...

This is a bad idea. Hope you know what you're doing.

W2K has symlinks?
Anyway, Apache won't follow symlinks even on Unix unless you have
"Options FollowSymLinks" in the appropriate <Directory> section of the
configuration file.

Subject: Mini-distro advice
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (H_Slave)
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 03:14:34 GMT
I'm either gonna get advice or ignite a holy war... ^_^;
I'm looking for a mini-distro that I can put on an old laptop of mine, and
was wanting to tap the massive cumulative experience of the Linux
community. (Don't worry, I'll pull out before my head explodes. ^_^ )
The laptop is an IBM 750Cs, a 486SX, 25 Mhz, 12 Megs RAM, 325 MB HD space.
One floppy, no CD-Rom, and access to a parallel port ZIP Drive. Network
access via a Linksys ethernet card, Internet access via a Kingston
Technologies 14.4 modem; both on PCMCIA.
I'm looking to make it a dedicated Linux machine (no dual boot). If
possible I'd like for it to run some version of X Windows so's I can show
it off to my non-Linux using friends.
Oh, and I tried LOAF, but it kernel panicked during boot, and I'm too new
to Linux to know how to fix it.
So, any advice?
Okay, any advice _other_ than "Don't bother" and "Get a real machine!"?
^_^

Hmm, what make+model of video card are you using? What window manager
are you using? And do you have your window manager's preferences set to
"focus follows mouse" or "sloppy focus" or "click to focus"?
(click-to-focus is the only possible way to do things under WinXX or
MacOS, while the other options are the standard way older window
managers under X did things.)
If your cursor is disappearing or showing up as a mess of squares or
static, then try adding the following like to your /etc/X11/XF86Config
and restarting X:
Option "sw_cursor"
If you want WinXX or MacOS-like behavior under your window manager, then
you have to set "click to focus" to ON. The way you do this is
different for each window manager, but kwm/enlightenment/sawfish have a
Control Panel-like application you can use to make this change. HTH,

Not enough information here to give you a full answer! What, in
particular, is slow?
hdparm -u1 -c1 -m16 /dev/hda
(repeat for other IDE hard disks in system, add -d1 if you're feeling
adventurous)
Make sure all your memory's getting detected. "free" should report a
total value > 128000. If it doesn't, you need to boot your machine with
the command line "linux mem=128M".
Don't use Enlightenment; it's pretty, but it hogs CPU. Sawfish is a
leaner GNOME window manager with enough functionality for most people.
Run XConfigurator from the command line; the automatic RedHat
configuration thing isn't up to snuff in most cases.
Don't start or run services you aren't using. Do you really need
sendmail, rpc.nfsd, ipop3d, and httpd running? If not, turn them off.
Did you make a swap partition and enable it? "free" should report
something other than 0 for swap space. Even if you have a reasonable
amount of RAM, you should have some swap space. Create some without
repartitioning like so:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=96
sync
sync
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
(NOTE: This is less efficient than making a swap partition, but it's a
hell of a lot easier than repartitioning.)
Can't give more tips without more info. HTH,
