Subject: Problems reading CD created under Win9x
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 09:48:53 -0300
I recently donwloaded a 140MB file and had some one copy it to a CD for me
under Win95. When I look at the CD under Linux I can see 68MB of the file
but when I look at it under a Win95 macine I can see the whole thing.
What's up with this and how can I see the whole file. I don't have access
to a CD-RW under Linux or another UNIX OS.
Thanks

Screw that last thing I wrote. The problem is with the PNP. Make sure you disable it
for Linux.

Subject: Re: Network lockup problem
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 14:25:21 GMT
This suggestion definitely falls in the realm of 'far out', BUT<G>
(My feelings will not be hurt if you consider it as such heheh)
There is an off chance that what you are seeing is a 'floating ground'
problem. That is where the two machines do not have a common ground
and thus a charge can build up on one of them, if the 'floating
ground' is just a high resistence one no shocks occur but the voltage
differential that eventually builds can and does cause one or more to
lock up and do other strange things. As I said this is a long shot.
Solution is to make sure that the machines have good grounding or that
they are same AC circuit. No UPS's do not solve the prob.

you can establish a PPP connection via Linux to AOL, you might be able to get to
the mail servers. I know they aren't accessible from outside w/o Netmail.

edit /etc/sendmail.cf
Look for the line that starts with Cwlocalhost
Add any other hostnames to that line. Any name listed will be accepted as
local.
e.g. Here is mine: (note all were on the same line, mailer word wrapped
this message)
Cwlocalhost ivey.ca ashley.ivey.uwo.ca phoenix.ivey.uwo.ca www1.ivey.uwo.ca
www.ivey.uwo.ca ww
w-convoy.ivey.uwo.ca alumni.ivey.uwo.ca
After editing the line, restart sendmail. Or reboot if you do not know how
to restart sendmail.

Sure. If you want a console client, use elm or pine. There are a lot
more clients too, both for X and the console. Take a look at:

I've had trouble with some versions of Redhat not doing rsh/rlogin
to various other types of unix. My solution was to get and use ssh.
