It is a randomly generated directory. You can have several mail account with
mozilla. I haven't found any way to get my webmail to work but it does
work with Netscape 6.
It's the same on winblows by the way.

Get a webmail account at netscape and Netscape 6. Setup the newsletter on that one.
With netscape 6 you can use the messenger to read your webmail. During installing
of Netscape 6 you are given the opportunity to sign up for free EMAIL at netscape.

I tried that in Mandrake 7.0 which mentions /etc/usertty in its 'man
login' and it likewise fails to restrict anything. In SuSE 7.1 'man
login' doesn't even mention usertty. I guess some man pages for login
include some things that the Linux login does not. Have to keep looking.

Are you sure that your CMOS setup is set to boot to floppy first (make
sure that any cdrom drives are empty). I have never seen a box that could
not boot from a floppy. However, on a Gateway we have at work, apparently
GoBack uses a non-standard partition (type 44 unknown), so the C: drive
cannot be seen from a Windows rescue floppy.

For your username use "MSN/username" and your connection password. But
you probably need to set up like a PAP connection with that username and
password in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets since MSN likely uses chap. I have not
tried that yet but I did DUN a connection that way per

Well this binary is very old. You will need libc4 and support for "aout

Subject: sound input (mic) problems
Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 03:21:57 GMT
I'm running RH 7.1 using the es1371 and related modules. Basically,
sound (voice) input using a microphone results in very poor quality.
The audio is very "staticy". I use rec to record and play to play the
file. Audio output from things such as CDs and mp3's is excellent,
so I'm convinced that the input is the problem. I've tried two different
microphones. Under Windoze 98 on the same system, this method of input
works well (well enough to use IBMs Viavoice speech recognition software)
so the problem appears to be confined to Linux.
Any ideas what is going on or how to configure input (sndconfig only seems
to work for output).

Deja archives usenet. He didn't suggest using usenet. He suggested
using news servers. There is a difference.
With a news server, archiving is very simple: don't expire.

Floyd is so right, and has hit the nail on the head, imho.
I have subscribed to developer mailing lists, and under Linux its
life as usual.
Fetchmail gets all of my email from various accounts, then procmail
sends the developer stuff to the relevant folders, all without any
input from me.
This leaved my emailer (exmh) to read email from friends etc in the
normal uncluttered way that it always has.
My email collection is now about
[tp@gronk Mail]$ du -h
....
34M ( Megabytes)

What are you wanting to do?
Remove all data and basically make the disk like new?
Or format it to ext2 format?
Or format the partitions to ext2 format?

One can use xf86config if you need a non-X configuration tool. Does
XF86Setup even ship with recent copies of X?
I would hope it does not. I never had much luck with it either.

Hey, yeah. Didn't think about that. Problem is, the machine doesn't have a
floppy drive. If it dies, It's a helluva mission getting it out, opening it,
and putting in a floppy to boot from.
I know it's stupid, but there's no space in the case. I've got this rather
old SCSI hard drive that heats up like you won't believe. My case is
basically a windtunnel to try and cool things down.

Depends on format......
All the tools are usually under /sbin or similiar places.
The command: mke2fs /dev/hdb3
Should format /dev/hdb3 as a ext2 filesystem. Although the application has
a lot of command line arguments you are usually safe leaving them to their
defaults.
Alternatively instead of calling the apps such as mke2fs directly you can
use the mkfs command like so:
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb3
which should do the same as the above command, however you could change the
"ext2" part to say "vfat" and format a filesystem is a MSDOS compatable way.
The mkfs application simply finds and executes the applications mkfs.XXXX,
wher XXX is the filesystem type..
Hope it helps,
Christopher Fairbairn.

Linux now uses PAM in most distributions. Have a look at
/etc/security/time.conf
and the documentation in /usr/doc/pam-0.72/html/pam.html. The exact
path will depend on what pam version you have.
Hope this helps.
