This happens if you don't embed the fonts in the postscript before using
ps2pdf. Also, you must use at least ghostscript version 6.0.

For my thesis, I didn't use pslatex. When using dvips, I added '-Ppdf'
to the options, which tells dvips to embed the fonts (at least, on RedHat
6.2 it does). I then did ps2pdf, using ghostscript 6.0. This doesn't
get you bookmarks and hyperlinks, but it does get you a very clean PDF.
Over on comp.text.tex, they can probably give you pointers to more advanced
programs for getting the extra features out of PDF. Good luck.

Why can't I give my files to another user with opening chown up with sudo?
Sorry to be blunt, but that's dumb! and a security risk. What is wrong with
giving files away?
The manual page for chown(2) quotes (under "Conforming to"),
"The chown call conforms to SVr4, SVID, POSIX, X/OPEN. The 4.4BSD version
can only be used by the superuser (that is, ordinary users cannot
giveaway files)."
It doesn't however say that chown conforms to 4.4BSD (or am I missing
something) - although it's functionality does.
Has anyone any thoughts on this?

You're probably unzipping a tar file (tape archive). Something like
myfile.tgz or myfile.tar.gz
You can do this in two steps:
gunzip myfile.tgz # produces myfile.tar
tar xvf myfile.tar # extracts all that's in it
or, directly
tar xzvf myfile.tgz # the z option unzips first, then tar xvf

I don't know whether it's possible to use apt-get, but you may use
autorpm which fetches information about new available packages from
ftp sides you specify and informs you about new versions of packages
already installed on your system. You may then run 'autorpm --apply'
to download and install the packages. I think you can also set up
autorpm that way it'll install packages automatically.
It should be available at http://www.kaybee.org/~kirk/html/linux.html.

hi,
I just compiled the 2.4.4 kernel last night on my linux box. It works
great, except now apache won't start. I am using the version of apache
that came with redhat 7.1.

Imagine you are in a university and there is a quota system.
Now you create a directory which is accessible only to you, and inside
that dir, you give a lot of big files to someone else. Well, you can
have more than your fair share. And the others will have less.
They have no way to remove that file since the directory is only
accessible by you.
Somebody complained on a newsgroup about this a couple of years ago.

recent fdisk versions (pretty much all versions I know) re-sync disks after
modifying the partition table - but only if none of the old partitions are
mounted. If we're talking about the disk containing your root partition,
don't look any further. There's NO WAY to modify the partition table of the
root disk without rebooting

Ah. SuSE still seem to think it's ok to produce a distro with 5.50. I've no

This is what I've tried in my own little latex2pdf script, but unfortunately
on gs 5.50 it doesn't seem to make any difference. A bit of compilery may be
in order. Our solly boxes have 6.50, I'll give them a whizz first.
A clean PDF that's identical to the original is better than a nifty pdf that
breaks formatting.

Well from what that looks like, your app isn't built in debug mode
(ie. -g option). If it was, you'd see your source. In addition, the
lib you are linking against may have blown up and you can't backtrace
into it because it wasn't built in debug mode either.
Build both lib and your source in debug mode... then break at main
(ie. b main) and run. Step through each line until you find the
SIGSEGV.

Surprisingly enough, it's to my knowledge only SuSE that actively
prevents users from downloading ISOs of their distribution.
Red Hat and Mandrake both provide ISOs on mirrors immediately when new
releases are announced, and of course Debian and Slackware are very much
downloadable :-)
So it's only SuSE that "protects its customers" this way. If you don't
feel protected by them refusing ISO downloads, use another distribution
that trusts its users.

You don't mention what version of Red Hat Linux.
I vaguely suspect you try to boot Red Hat Linux 7 on a system that uses
ATA/100. That won't work without some trickery.
Try Red Hat Linux 7.1, it supports ATA/100 out of the box.

Disable it in the rc sequence. How you do this depends on
which distribution you are using. Redhat for example has
"chkconfig" which manages this sort of activity, others
like Slackware have /etc/rc.d which contains rc scripts.
you'd find the correct one and disable the part that
starts sshd. Yet others may have just the sysv
/etc/rc<RUNLEVEL>.d directories containing
startup/shutdown scripts for various services.

I've always had to download it after the fact, however since 0.8.1 it has

That exclusion is already in config.opts. Perhaps you can clear up
my confusion. I think the config.opts file doesn't apply to which
interrupt the system chooses for the pcmcia controller, just which
interrupts it makes available to pcmcia cards that are inserted.
But maybe I am wrong. What I did try was setting interrupt lists
in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, which is where I think you are supposed
to do it. But nothing works, even things I copied from the
pcmcia HOWTO. I keep getting error messages when I start pcmcia.
In any case, I now think the problem may lie elsewhere. Here is
what I've found. In console mode without X running, if I have
/etc/sysconfig/mouse set to a PS/2 mouse, if I start gpm, then
I can type and run commands until I access the mouse in any
way, and then the keyboard freezes. With an appropriate program
running in the background, I can print things on the screen,
and then stop gpm, so it is clear there is some conflict on this
particular computer between the PS/2 mouse and the keyboard. The
kernel source tree shows in pc_keyb.c that they share some
resources, so that is not entirely out of the question. (But that
file hasn't changed since 2.2 and the laptop appears to work
properly with 2.2 kernels.)
I can clearly live without gpm. But even then, if I
start pcmcia, then I can start X, but then everything freezes. No
mouse, no response to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or Ctrl-AltF keys.
This may just be due to the fact they are both trying to use
irq 12, but I can't help believing these two problems are somehow
related.
Finally, everything works fine if I use a serial mouse.
Any ideas or even glimmers of an idea would be appreciated.

Boiled down to "incorporates tcpwrapper-like access controls" (for udp
as well as tcp, not that that's of much interest, since there are no
interesting udp services because if there were nobody would mind if they
mostly didn't work, by definition, so they couldn't be interesting).
It also does logging. Useful, but I already have tcplogger and friends.
The disadvantage of course is:
a) it's new, hence buggy.
b) it uses millions of separate little files instead of one single
nice human-editable file.
