Wayne,
Have you checked out gpr? It's available from HP's sourceforge web site. It uses
PPD files to control Postscript printing.

The reason why you should use .EQV. instead of .EQ. when comparing
LOGICALs is explained in the accompanying manual of g77.
It's also online; the relevant chapter is:

Hope this helps,

For years I've used Citibank's Direct Access service to access my
accounts through the web using Netscape. Now they've gone and redesigned
the site and I get a blank java server page (.jsp) after logging in. No
error mesages. I cannot access my accounts. Customer Serviuce sez there
are other reports of Linux users having this problem. Anybody else here
experiencing this difficulty? I run Netscape 4.77 full 128-bit

Subject: Large VFAT filesystems and Linux
Date: 18 May 2001 18:43:43 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Are there any known problems with very large (>64G) FAT32 filesystems
and Linux? I ask because we have a ~480G RAID partitioned into two 240G
FAT32 partitions of type 0x0c (Win9x FAT32 LBA) and our Linux box is
coughing up errors like so when attempting to write to the partitions:
Filesystem panic (dev 08:11).
msdos_write_inode: unable to read i-node block
attempt to access beyond end of device
08:11: rw=0, want=2080378435, limit=250879041
dev 08:11 blksize=512 blocknr=-134210426 sector=-134210426 size=512
count=1 dev = 08:11, ino = -2147366814
This error started showing up only when we had filled up roughly 64G of
the space on the first partition. Any write attempts after that cause
roughly this same error. dosfsck reports lost cluster chains after the
errors occur, but doesn't fix the underlying problem since errors occur
immediately upon subsequent writes.
Hardware is a Dell Poweredge 2750, RAID is being handled with a PERC2
controller. Distro is RedHat 7.0, kernel is the 2.2.16-22 "enterprise"
version that was bundled. I have looked on groups.google.com and the
last couple months of Kernel Traffic for a similar problem, and come up
empty. (Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing...)
Finally, I know that FAT32 is the wrong filesystem for partitions this
large. The reason it's being used is so that in case of catastrophic
hardware failure on the Linux box, we can plug the RAID into a 2K box
and be running again very quickly.
Any assistance appreciated, thanks in advance.

If you use a date string it should always be in localtime, whether your
CMOS clock is utc or localtime. Wouldn't it be simpler to use ntpdate?
#!/bin/sh
echo "System: `date`"
echo "CMOS: `hwclock --show`"
# b=hard time, B=adjtime, d=debug, u=unpriveledged port, v=version
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -bu <list of stratum 2 time servers>
/sbin/hwclock -w
echo "System: `date`"
echo "CMOS: `hwclock --show`"
But if you have been messing with hwclock, you might need to use --utc or
--localtime once to tell it what to default to for your CMOS clock.

Hi...
I'm hoping someone has seen this before and knows what to do; I haven't been
able to figure it out over the last few days.
I've got a Mandrake 7.2 system, with some updates but relatively clean.
Somehow I've managed to mess things up, probably in the process of trying to
put Xchat in. Now, all apps that use GNOME start up invisibly -- they display
no windows, but show up as "Sleeping" in a process list. This happens for
apps that use GNOME libraries, such an GnuCash, Xchat, gnapster; apps that
use GTK but not GNOME (Xdownloader, RPMdrake) run just fine. I normally use
KDE as my desktop, and all of those apps also work ok.
Here are some packages which seem to be applicable:
gnome-core-1.2.1-40mdk
gnome-libs-1.2.4-8mdk
I have tried examining, changing, removing, config files in ~/.gnome, to no
effect. Xchat, gnapster, and Pan are new installations, but I've been using
the same GnuCash for a couple of months, and now it doesn't work either. Even
the GNOME panel doesn't show up.
I have searched the Web and Usenet before posting here; obviously I did not
turn up anything useful. :( Anyone got some clues I can borrow? ;)

put umask=000 in your /etc/profile [or whatever bash or login file your

i'd recommend umask=022 instead

I am looking for some software that would let you run your lunux PC from a
remote location such as one can do with Telnet but I would like an
application that would let you run GUI applications instead of just the
command lines that Telnet has. If possible I would like to run the remote
software from a Windows PC.
Is there such software available?

Yes.
X11 works across the network. It was designed that way from
the beginning to allow exactly what you want to do. You do
need an X11 server to run on the Windows PC.
VNC does what you want, is free, and cross platform. It's
performance is a bit worse than running a real X server, but
it's easier to install and run under Windows than is an X
server.

Hi all,
I am using RH6.2 and Canon BJC-1000 printer. I have configured the
printer using printtool. Now files can be printed in Kwrite or Emacs.
However, when I use "lpr textfile" command directly in console, nothing
happens. The response to lpq is "no entries". What's the problem?
Thank you in advance.

First guess: your /etc/printcap entry doesn't have an entry for your
default printer.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Don Hinds)

I basically quit even trying to get Mandrake 7 to work properly.
1) I can boot GUI, but in non-gui, even in FAILSAFE it locks up with a Kernel
Panic.
2) There is no option to use a modem (Linux USB supported modem) on USB
port, or perhaps I should say there is no option to use USB for the modem.
There are 4 (as I recall) port options for modem including serial, but USB is
not on the list.
3) Corel WP will not install. Not the one on the Mandrake 6.5 CD, nor the one
on Corel website. I get a load of directories or path not found errors.
4) Corel PhotoPaint installs but gives a FontTastic (missing) error when I try
to run it. I tried the Corel website and UK Linux User CD versions.
I've posted all these problems in more detail in the past, but no one has any
workable answers. ;-(
If I can't acutally USE Linux, it doesn't matter a whole lot if it doesn't
crash. Windows 95/98/ME may crash a lot, but between times IT WORKS!

True, but I never said "required"... The users original post dictates that his
System.map-2.2.16 is located in /boot.
For the sake of simplicity, the user probably should store his other System.map files
in the same directory or at least
follow the same scheme as his current linux implementation.

Ah, yes!
That did it!
I use the --local to tell hwclock NOT TO MESS with the time string
Then I use --utc when I read it backout, to tell hwclock
to GO AHEAD and mess with the time.
I didn't pick up ntpdate, I figured I'd learn something about shell
