About kernel configuration
Hi, Is there any way to know that, for examples, my kernel-images have quota support enabled? In this case, consider I am using kernel-images from .deb, not compile it myself. Of course many configuration I need to know beside quota support. TIA -- bpdp

Re: What is nvi?
nvi is new vi, exist because original vi copyrighted and can not be redistributed.

Re: Serving web pages for local use only
Set the ServerName directive to localhost or 127.0.0.1 That should be in /etc/apache/httpd.conf file You also need to do apachectl start as root. To run Perl CGI scripts, you need to setup ScriptAlias directive in httpd.conf. This should be created for you when you install Apache. Find out if it is commented, if it is then uncomment it. -- bpdp On Wednesday 26 September 2001 6:22 pm, Steve Dondley wrote: Hi, I'd like to use my machine to serve web pages, more specifically, I'd like it to run Perl cgi-scripts. The machine will NOT be serving pages over the net. I'm guessing I can just point my browser to 127.0.0.1. I installed apache but I'm stuck on what to do next, however. I can't get the httpd daemon running. Apparently, I need to set the ServerName directive. Since I don't a domain name for the machine, what do I use for this? Anything else I need to do? Thanks!
Re: ncurses
Hi, There are many ncurses packages available. Please take a look at this command output: apt-cache search ncurses I guess you will need ncurses-bin, ncurses-term, ncurses-base, and libncurses5 (maybe). -- bpdp On Monday 24 September 2001 11:23 am, Robert Epprecht wrote: Hello I'm trying to compile a programm (iForth) that needs ncurses. apt-get install ncurses Package ncurses has no available version, but exists in the database.

Re: TeX printing problem
Yup. that's the right output. The dvips is used to create ps from dvi file. You need to use -o option for dvips to create a ps file and then you can use gv to view the ps file. Check out man dvips. -- bpdp On Monday 24 September 2001 1:34 pm, Dale Morris wrote: After my recent install and upgrade to woody I can't print tex documents.
