That way we'd have the application support and the users who want the 95 look-and- feel could have that as well. i don't see that that's at all necessary :-). in fact, it would probably be a bad thing. i'd trust the WINE crew to do a good job of that before i trusted an MS programmer. we already have fvwm95 which is much better, imo, than win95's window manager. all we need are the emulation libraries and .DLLs etc to make it possible to run win32 appsthat will come eventually with WINE and Willows' TWIN libraries. MS should focus on their applications which, for the most part, aren't too bad. in fact, some of their apps are fairly decent if you like that sort of thing. If you say so.

(believe it or not, but this is true. many people believe that it is NOT even remotely possible for a computer to run without crashing all the time. this is entirely due to over-exposure to crappy operating systems which do crash all the time). but mostly, they are fairly decent apps that do a fairly good job. i don't object to MS applications the way I object to MS operating systems.

This I don't understand. I wrote update-menus, and I've
seen quite a few error messages from update-menus. But
I've never seen this one (nor do I ever expect this).
the place at which it comes makes it actually rather unlikely
that it's from update-menus: update-menus only continues working
_after_ dpkg finished, which is usually after you have your prompt
back. This message seems to have come before any command prompt,
so I suspect it's from the netscape postinst.
I cannot check now, cause I've got a very old netscape package
installed here, and that one doesn't to update-menus at all.
Is this of any importance? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I
think I remember a post regarding this issue a while ago, something
like there is a command spawned by root that runs as a different user,
and that user doesn't have read access to all the directories in the
path to a certain file. Is this it?
Possible. Take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/netscape.postinst,
and see what it does after it says Installation OK. Hit RETURN..
maybe that gives a clue?
These are the LAST lines in that file. I've edited the print lines

I have changed both the irq and io base and nothing changes!

Re: 3C509B ISA Detection
Here, no problems with a 3C509B. I disabled pnp and set the irq to 5
(for arbitrary reasons.)
What do you get from `cat /proc/{interrupts,io}` ?
I have tried different irq's and addresses and all of them have been clear
of anything in cat /proc/interrupts ioports. I am now going to remove
my sound card and try it.
Doesn't the mca in these messages refer to the IBM MCA bus standard?
Wouldn't that interfere with the VLB bus tou say you have?
That's the I thought as well but I know I chose N when this option came
up when building a new kernel. I've done this multiple times as well.
I guess you probed with irq and io parameters and without (to

Yes, I tried it both ways.

I don't think you have to worry about messing things up with the settings you have. The only problems I can see is it may waste time when you are not connected to the net and it wants to send or receive blocks. Try running rc5v2 -h It will give you some options. If you are about to go off line for a while you can have it send all the completed blocks and fill up the buffers. You could also write some scripts or mess with cron jobs to bring up the connection when it is needed. But I don't bother with that. I fill the buffers before I go to sleep and when I get up it is usually still cranking. It should be no big deal if you are off line when if wants to send. If you want more info take a look at http://rc5.distributed.net and http://www.linuxnet.org Hope this helps. - E-Mail: Travis Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.methow.com/~tcole -- Get my Public Key here Date: 30-Aug-97 Time: 02:18:46 Do you guys know what you are doing, or are you just hacking? - -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Qpopper ?
Hi ! Just wondering if I can use the qpopper package, that comes with Debian 1.3, to make a pop3 mail server ? If so ... how do I configure it ? I have it installed, but I can't seem to find out how to create accounts etc. Also ... the ftpd package ... is it a ftp server ? I also have that one installed, but if i try to connect with a ftp-program (*not* as root, but as a user), I just get the message, that the remote host have closed connection, because the service isn't available.

Doesn't the mca in these messages refer to the IBM MCA bus standard?
Wouldn't that interfere with the VLB bus tou say you have?
That's the I thought as well but I know I chose N when this option came
up when building a new kernel. I've done this multiple times as well.
I guess you probed with irq and io parameters and without (to
autodetect)?
Yes, I tried it both ways.
OK, have you set the IRQ you set on the card, as legacy ISA in your BIOS, as
opposed to a PNP device? If you have auto config turned on, shut it off and set
this manually. Plug and Pray is not a joke reference to PnP.
I used a 3c509 for the longest time in my router. IRQ 10, IO 300.
All I did was set this and turn pnp off with the msdos config util (something

moving remote systems from slackware to debian; charset=us-ascii
In one of those strange turns of events, a professor here has hired me to consult for his computer chain on Linux. Having twins on the way, I'll take the extra couple of hundred a month. Anyway, the systems are remote; they are mail servers for schools throughout the state. They seem to have a partial installation of slackware. They think. Some employees have left. Aside from security concerns about slackware, minor things such as adduser are missing. Which wasn't a problem until the perl scripts from netscape broke, and . . . Yesterday I added a lot by hand to the passwd file. Anyway, I'd like to switch these machines to debian, but physically going to each machine is out of the question. Roughly, I'm thinking of installing debian straight over slackware. However, i know that /etc is substantiall different. Also, does the installation script exist anywhere other than on the boot disks? Or am I flatly looking for trouble by doing the switch remotely? rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Problem with module after recompile
Hi ! You'll need to recompile the ne module at the same time as the rest of the kernel. Select it as a module when you configure the kernel. Ok ... it doesn't work when you compile the kernel, and then do a make modules, make modules_install ? kernel-package will make installing it all much easier. Yea ... I belive that ! btw what is the package called ? I have seen somewhere, that I should get kernel_package_vvv_all.deb, but I can't seem to find it at sunsite.unc.edu ...

Yes, there's an updated driver for this card. It will eventually get through 2.0.31. You can find it at: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html Alternately, you can get 2.0.31-pre7 from ftp://ftp.kernel.org I've been using the 3c59x driver for this card for several months now with no problems at all. You may need to set the options in the modules.conf or at boot from lilo.

Sound and Modem Troubles
I have a Packard Bell 166 MHz Pentium Tower. I have suddenly lost BOTH the internal modem and all sound. I have installed an external modem and configued it, using Windows 95, for Serial Port 2, but that does not correct my problem with no sound. Are the modem and sound on the same card in this machine, and if so, does this sound like a configuration or hardware problem? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

SOLVED: making poff hang up phone
I have figured out how to make this work, thanks to the tips provided by Joerg and Shaleh. In case others are having the same problem: the trick is to tell the modem to hang up when DTE goes low. Perhaps most people realized already that the way to do this is in the chatscript /etc/ppp.chatscript. I didn't initialize my modem there at all, assuming it was done somewhere else! (Developers: would it be a good idea to put a default init string with ATZ and possibly ATD2 in this script?) Here is my chatscript: ABORTBUSY ABORTNO CARRIER ABORTVOICE ABORTNO DIALTONE ATZ OK ATD2 OK ATDT4740771 CONNECT '\h\h\h\r\r' sername fsblk word 'fsblk!' UAF-DU-02c ppp Anyway, I hope this is of some use to someone.
