What you have is a floppy image file that needs to be copied to the
floppy device.
Put a blank floppy in the drive and type
cat boot.img > /dev/fd0
or
cp boot.img /dev/fd0
or
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0
If you are using a random old floppy from the junk box you should do a
low-level
first, because the boot process does not have very good error recovery
if the floppy
is marginal.

This is on *my* system.
try the command `cat /proc/ide/hdXXX/model` from the command line just to
see what it returns. It's a good way to find what devices are connected
where.
(the XXX should be replaced by [a to d], try them all)

I've occasionally run into problems with fetchmail. If I get a spam
e-mail which has a bogus domain name, this slows things down. I've
also occasionally gotten a spam e-mail that fetchmail just can't handle,
and it hangs up fetchmail. I have to log into the mail-server and delete
it locally. Since I have a "workaround" and since it's very infrequent,
I haven't pursued it. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have an
alternate way to delete it.

Sounds like the umask of root is rather hostile! ldconfig definitely
does not do that here. If yours does, it's either a bug in your
ldconfig, or a bug in your root environment (umask). Check which.

That's rather interesting. I'm not sure of the effect, but it
ostensibly should allow root to write to your screen (or v.v.).
Its reach should be confined to X.

Cron? You mean a task that cron runs? Which? "suidregister"?

ldconfig on its own should not do that. Check root's umask.

If you want to remove spaces in the names, too, man tr for more of the
character classes.

It's documented in one of the win+linux howtos.
Basically, you save the sector at the head of the swap partition
contents that says what it is, and replace it at shutdown and boot.

1. Check the partition types with fdisk or an equivalent.

Subject: I cannot print any .ps file
Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 10:51:50 GMT
OK let me clarify this.
Its probably not my setup with what i have.
I have a pdf file generated by acrobat distiller.
here is the file format
[root@web-linux pdffiles]# od -c file.pdf |more
0000000 % P D F - 1 . 2 \r % � � � � \r \n
0000020 3 0 o b j \r < < \r / L i n

0000120 0 \r / N 1 \r / T 6 1 0 7
0000140 \r > > \r e n d o b j \r
as you can see the first line specifies that it is a pdf file.
I can view this file using acroread from adobe and I am able to print it
from there using the printing tool mentioned below.
this file is then converted to .ps with the pdf2ps utility from Ghostscript
I can see what the file was converted to using
#gs file.ps and it looks fine
I then try to print the file outputted to ps it goes to the printer then it
hangs in the printer saying processing it does not cancel and clear unless i
shut off the printer.
I did get this to print by converting the ps file again using
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=myfile.ps any.ps
then doing a
lpr -Plj4000 any.ps
too many steps too. I know I am doing this all hokey but I have not been
succesful in getting lpr to print the converted file from pdf2ps.
also I havent been successful in using ghostscript to print the pdf files
also...any pointers...
I hope that clarifies everything

I'm trying to get plib to install so I can then get FlightGear going but
when I do ./configure it fails. The message I get is GCC failure but in the
text before that, it actually says that GCC is O.K. when it tests for it's
presence.
I'm using Mandrake7.2 without any upgrades and would like to know if anyone
has had the same problem. Is it something missing on this distribution
because I used the option install everything when I originally installed
Mandrake and I've yet to successfully compile anything at all that works!

Usually you don't have to. Are you sure your CDROM is capable of
multisession CDs?
If everything fails, you can mount the CDROM with the cdfs options (you
still have to compile this one by yourself). Then you can mount the
different sessions seperately via the loop device.

well! I sort of fell flat in love with enlightenment and the gnome
desktop was sufficiently quirky and unwindows like ( not much of an
incentive
when switching from os/2, but!) to attract my attention.
So- don't ask me, I'm heavily(spell) biased. I do believe that
enlightenment is heavy on the ram.
I have 256m ram and p3 800m, not blazingly bleeding edge but
I get snappy responses .
YMMV :-)

Without knowing what recently caused those issues, I could solve the
problem now by upgrading the Suse libc6 shared libs package. I had read
about security issues with the original shared libs package, so this
little upgrade was worth it anyway, and yes, ldconfig doesn't change the

Or you can make life easier using xcdroast, a graphical front end to
cdrecord, cdparanoia etc. It doesn't actually do anything itself but

If they are using Linux IP Masq(NAT) gateway, apply ip_masq_h323 module.
