Actually, that wouldn't be personally useful to me because I have to resize
the xterm (grab a margin and move it, even if I move it back to where it
was) before it will use the full 53 lines I've specified rather than the 24

mgetty is to listen to a modem attached to a serial line, answer the
ringing modem, listen to th first few characters and then pass the

agetty is a getty which probably should no longer be used.

Hi Kevin,
I think the first thing on your agenda here, is re-establishing
communication with your DSL router. At the moment or before, how did your
machine gets it IP address, did it make a request to the DSL router and then
it would give you an address locally, or for some reason were you given a
static address ?
If we can get you pinging your DSL router, then we will slowly be getting
back to a point where your machine is connected on the internet ?
If it is possible, can you please provide a copy of your route table:
"/sbin/route -n" so that we can see what state the routing table is in at the
moment ?
See ya

At this stage it doesn't look like the Card Services are capable of providing
support for the PCMPC100 Version 2 cards. A quick check of:
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS shows that the basic card
is supported and that version 3 is not supported. It doesn't talk about
version 2, but a number of postings that google found seemed to confirm the

It's trivial to make the number of lines that you scroll be associated to

Read the man page for "setterm" for a list of useful values for $COLOR,
and remember that programs which use curses (like vim) will probably
reset the foreground color to "white" as they exit. So you may wish to
put that setterm command into your $PROMPT_COMMAND , and you will have
to edit the .*rc files for those curses/slang programs you use to set
the default text color to whatever you want when you're in those
programs.

Perhaps you would like to spend 3-6 weeks staring at a
box waiting to see if the fault manifests itself again. I
prefer to have a reliable device faster than that.

How to be a UNIX geek - Lesson One:
Take control of how your PATH variable is set and don't include the current
directory in it (which you've done unintentionally). When you want to
run a program you've compiled that is in the current directory, knowing
it won't be in your path, run it this way:
./myprogram
Alternately, when you want to show off, run it this way:
PATH=$PATH: myprogram
or:
$PWD/myprogram
Once you understand how this works, you can take satisfaction in knowing
you're not one of those UNIX wimps who puts the current directory in his
path.

Subject: GnomeICU clashes with gdk_pixbuf when making.
Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 22:37:54 -0400
I recently downloaded the newest version of GnomeICU
(gnomeicu-0.96.1.tar.gz)
and upon first untar/configure run, it told me that I needed a newer version
of gdk_pixbuf, as it needed 0.9.0+ and I had 0.8.0. No problem - although I
didn't know what exactly gdx_pixbuf was (still dont), I took it simply as
another automagical piece of the whole Linux experience and promptly
proceeded
to Gnome's website to download the newest version
(gdk-pixbuf-0.11.0.tar.gz).
Upon succesful download, I simply removed the offending older version, and
quickly and easily made the new one.
Upon running gICU's 'configure' again, I got a message that was slightly
different that said to run 'ldconfig' - again, assuming an automagical piece
of the pie, I ran this command and configure again, and this time it finally
made it through! Yay!
Therefore, the next logical step was simply to proceed to make gICU - which
I
did, assuming that it would work out fine. It didn't. Upon make, I get this
slew of error messages:
/root/linux/gnomeicu-0.96.1/src/loadpixmap.c:64: undefined reference to
`gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file'
/root/linux/gnomeicu-0.96.1/src/loadpixmap.c:65: undefined reference to
`gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask'
/root/linux/gnomeicu-0.96.1/src/loadpixmap.c:67: undefined reference to
`gdk_pixbuf_finalize'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [gnomeicu] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/linux/gnomeicu-0.96.1/src'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/linux/gnomeicu-0.96.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/linux/gnomeicu-0.96.1'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
Now, I can only assume that it again cannot find a certain piece of the
gdk_pixbuf puzzle, but like I said earlier, not knowing _what_ this puzzle
is,
I cannot find the missing piece!
Thanks a lot!

The contents of /dev are indeed "real files". In Unix, everything[0] is
either a file or a process. Sure, you can't do anything with cp, but
tar, afio, and cpio have code in them to handle special files like those
in /dev .
For /proc , the -l option to tar may prove useful. Read the info page
for tar; it's quite useful.

If on 1 disk, you'll need /etc/lilo.conf similar to:
# LILO configuration file
boot = /dev/hda
prompt
timeout=300
vga = normal
# First Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda7 # all of slackware is on hda7
label = slackware
read-only
# First Linux bootable partition config ends
#image = /boot/vmlinuz
image = /mnt/hda9/vmlinuz # suse's /boot is on hda9
label = suse
root = /dev/hda11 # suse's / is on hda11
# initrd = /boot/initrd
initrd = /mnt/hda9/initrd
read-only
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = msdos
table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
this has lilo installed in the MBR (don't forget to run lilo command)

In the mean time he should try and follow these instructions from a Linux
help site. I just installed RH7.1 on my Sager laptop and was having network
setup issues. Once I followed all of these instructions my Linksys PMP200
card was able to connect to my network. Here is the Linux help link anyway:
http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/networkconfig.shtml for

Do you have performance issues with your system as it is? Gnome 1.4 is
very new, and reaction has been mixed so far. I've found that RH6.2
upgrades very well, but Im happy with the final release of Gnome 1.2,
which I use with the XFce desktop environment. Everything I need works,
and I won't upgrade anything else until RH7.2 comes out. In addition to
Ximian, you can upgrade you Gnome rpms using the web option in Gnorpm to
get them from Red Hat or rpmfind. Ask more questions about Gnome, look
at the archives, and see what users and developers are discussing on the
Gnome mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list

Hi, there,
I jsut did a fresh install of Redhat 7.1 on my new harddrive.
The installation went fine without any problem.
The problem started after I started to run Gnome. I found that
there were constant disk access. The HD activity LED kept flashing
even though I didn't do anything.
When I ran xosview, it reported that 'PROC/LOAD' was always > 1.
I switched to KDE. Same thing!
With Redhat 6.2, it never happened. The load in xosview can drop to 0.
Do anyone know what the problem is?
I got a SCSI HD with an Asus SC875 SCSI card. RH7.1 correctly identified
it as SYM 875 and use the SYM8xx driver.
Thanks for any help!

I suspect that it may boil down to having to get an upgraded version of the
card services. It would appear that RH7.1 card services don't have the card
definition for the LinkSys card. Of course it will now be a matter to see
whether or not Yuri will be able to get the same version of card services or a
later version of card services working with his RH7.1 system.
See ya
