There are more wrinkles that I can begin to remember, but I thought I'd ask here to find out if anyone has had the same problem of the Lib keyboard characters in Linux not being what they are in Windows. I searched both the archives and the net, but couldn't find any posts about this, but couldn't find anything. As things are... (ooo... let me go grab text from the note I sent Neil... Ratz... Netscape won't paste from the clipboard... one more thing to work out.) Anyway, I have no pipe character at all and ~ in its place, a # where # should be, no backslash at all with # in it's place, a where @ should be and @ where should be. Is this something other people with Linux set up on Librettos here in the USA have experienced? Or might it be something that infected Mandrake back in the UK before Neil sent me a copy? :-P Matt (Shel) _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Somewhere in the system init file, probably /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is the command /bin/loadkeys This is what sets the keyboard map for text-mode terminals. I don't have Mandrake 7.1 - so I am guessing a little. Find this and see if you see a uk which should be changed to a us.

Re: [LIB] SPAM ugh...
Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 13:46:15 -0400 From: Lou S [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] SPAM ugh... Hi Matthew But are you saying that you are getting spam with [LIB] in the subject? No, not at all, I said that when I use the word [LIB] as a filter for my Subject lne - ALL spam ceases to get into my mailbox, it's deleted at Hotmail's server. I also have one other filter that only members of a hobby club I correspond with use, that makes it impossible to receive any spam in my mailbox. Spammers are not going to selectively word the Subject line of each spam they send out even if they knew the words you filter on. If everyone would simply remember that all spammers are thieves and liars w/o exception, no one would ever reply to their email to begin with and they'd all have to get real jobs instead of stealing from the public. But we do have a few individuals in our society that aren't too bright and actually reply to spammers and even send them money - which they lose - all spammer are thieves, the rest of us filter our email. If you use Norton Internet Security or AtGuard, one way to block these things is to setup the adblocker to block anything with the string www.atlantistech.com that blocks the script that makes your brwoser send an e-mail. Very, very interesting Lou! I suspected this sort of thing was going on. But you're saying it's when you have Java activated, right? Matt Java has been called the culprit of a lot of browser problems for yrs. I use IE 5, Netscape 3 and 4.7 and Opera 4 on my PC at the same time. Each one acts differently and they all crash on occasion when Java is enabled. Opera seems to handle it the best and it loads Web pages super fast compared to IE which is pathetically slw. I usually disable Java in Netscape which has my real ISP email address in it, run Java on IE and have found Opera runs a bit funky w/Java. Sometimes Web site acknowledge it, other times they balk and say it's not operational even though I have it enabled. But I NEVER get popups with Opera! My IE has only a fake address placed in it since I never email with it, so IF Java were the culprit here (I'm told that it is on occasion), the browser wouldn't send my real email address out anyway. Search the Net, there are lots of posts and info concerning security flaws in IE with Java enabled. That's why Micro$oft keeps offering patches for their browser. One catch with some email was that the sender would place a code in his email to tell your browser to go to his Web site and download a Gif. Once it did it also confirmed that the code, unique to you, was used and he now knows the email address he sent that code to is active. when I get email from a Yahoo group I subscribe to, I only read it off line which eliminates all the ads their email tells your browser to fetch once you open the email if you're online. Again, if the Lib group's moderator/owner were to eliminate all of our email addresses from showing up in our posts (like mine did in your reply to me Matt), spam would drop off and even be nonexistant for new email accounts since no one would ever have access to those email addresses. An ounce of prevention...or we need to keep useing throw away accounts like Hotmail for posting to the Net. - Lou S _ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
