Re: OT earthquake!
Skiing is unfortunatly one of those sports that can have a high entry fee. Especially now that equipment has changed so drasticly the last few years. Combine that with a season pass or daily lift tickets and its expensive. I'm sorta lucky. I get my equipment on pro or shop forms and dont pay for tickets. There is a trade off, I have to interrupt my skiing to haul idiots off the hill in a rescue sled. But it does allow me to ski 100+ days each winter :-) Just for fun I pulled out my calculator and did some rough figuring. Not counting my childhood, which I skijumped and did it every night and Sat/Sun all winter from 10-17yrs old. This is just my adult years. 17 full time seasons of 100 days minimum 1700/365=4.65 years on skis and that is conservative because most seasons lasted about 110-130 days and I only take 6-10 days off each winter.

I find this impossible to explain
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I have Lycoris and have been using OOo succesfully for a few years (if
you count 5.2). Last week, I got the following error and it persists.
Here is what I did, what I've checked and what errors I get.
I uninstalled and deleted anything to do with OpenOffice from my
system. Using the tarball, I recreated the entire thing with the -net
install in /usr/OpcnOffice.org1.0.1. I deleted jre first (in case that
was the problem) and now have jre 1.3.0, which is older and not
compatible with OOo. I also investigated the problem and can now be
more specific. (Please don't suggest I get a compatible jre, as I had
it and still had all the problems listed below).
1. Changing default fonts does absolutely nothing (except change the
default fonts).
2. In the Help Files, the index portion (left side) is perfect. On the
right side (the actual help files), I get Headings, Icons and
Hyperlinks. The Hyperlinks show up as underlines (no names or other
indication of what they might link to). There is NO text -- none, nada.
3. Everything else works like it used to.
4. No other program is affected by this.
5. The following odd problem occurs from time to time -- always as four
of these.
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
I note ADDR which I assume refers to an address, and GIF which may
mean a .gif file, but have no idea what SIOC means. Apparently I
have a failure in the address of a .gif file. The .gif files are in:
/usr/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/share/gallery/rulers
and appear okay.
6: I also get the occasional error:
kioslave : ###SEG FAULT#
7. Keep in mind that I have been running 1.0.1 since it came out with
no problems until this past week when my help files decided to become
unusable.
So far the help offered amounts to: a) did you set your fonts up
correctly? -- ans: yes, b) can you change fonts and make it work? --
ans: no, c) how terrible that you had OOo set up under /root -- this
will never work -- ans: But it did for nearly a year, still, a change
to /usr made no change, and d) do a full reinstall -- ans: okay, still
no change and (oh, yeah) e) did you set up user in the right place? --
ans: yes, in {HOMEDIR}/OpenOffice.org1.01, where it's been working fine
for the past year.
Is there an environment variable that might help? Or, better yet, does
anyone know what might cause the errors listed in 5. and 6.?

netmask question
BACKGROUND: I am on comcast, and get dynamically assigned ip numbers now. This is a pain, since, as far as I can tell, comcast is not using a standard dhcpd server, and they don't support third party software. My dhcpcd client can't tell when the ip number is changed, so, I run a script whenever my connection gets bad, and so far this has been working. However, I have to fool around with the firewall rules, too. I want to automate this process, so dhcpcd returns the information from the server whenever it runs. Here is my current information: IPADDR=68.33.8.46 NETMASK=255.255.252.0 NETWORK=68.33.8.0 BROADCAST=68.33.11.255 GATEWAY=68.33.8.1 HOSTNAME= DOMAIN=towson01.md.comcast.net DNS=68.34.76.6 DHCPSIADDR=172.30.10.34 DHCPSHADDR=00:02:FC:80:E0:A8 DHCPSNAME= LEASETIME=604800 RENEWALTIME=302400 REBINDTIME=529200 I just insert this in as a dot file and let my scripts run. Works fine.

Re: netmask question
Opps. One mistake in the note below. It looks like when I run ipchains-restore against a rule like this: -A input -s 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -d 68.33.8.46/255.255.252.0 6346:6346 -i eth1 -p 6 -y -m 5 The rule as listed by ipchains -L -n is: target prot opt sourcedestination ports - tcp -y 0.0.0.0/0 68.33.8.0/22 * - 6699 So, part of my ip number is missing, too, in the firewall. I guess I don't understand netmasks, but, why, if the end of the number is being chopped off due to the netmask, do they assign this number (68.33.8.46) ?

RED HAT
I want to install Red Hat 7.3 on my HDD which has Suse Linux 7.1. RH 7.3 is given in CDs of the book Red Hat Linux 7.3 Bible by Christopher Negus. For Partitioning it gives me option of (1)Remove all Linux Partitions on this system (2)Remove all partitions on this system (3)Keep all partitions and use existing free space. Now before when I installed Suse, I put 7 GB for linux from 20 GB of my HDD, so how should I proceed. Also I installed Suse but it did not allow me to increase the swap space from 150Mb or so while I need 512MB as I have 256MB memory. Please tell me solution for this also. Also I have winmodem(HCF 56K PCI), so which driver should I download for using it in linux partition. Also any other precautions OR considerations. Please reply ASAP.

Re: netmask question
I guess I put in too much confusing (at least to me) detail.
I think my question was how to interpret ip's with numbers like:
63.11.8.26 and mask of 255.255.252.0
This seems to get interpreted by the firewall as something like:
63.11.8.0/22
So, I don't know why they are issuing such numbers, but, there must be a
good reason. I mean, why not just issue 63.11.8.0 with mask of 255.255.252.0 ?
Any how, I have tried to install dhclient, without success on my caldera 2.4
box with an updated kernel. As I recall, it wouldn't compile or somesuch, so
I am using dhcpcd, which seems to be a weak cousin. Its main problem seems to be that
it isn't talking to the comcast dhcpd server and just exits every now and then.
So, I just run dhcpcd from a script every so often, and it downloads my
current settings, or gets new ones, and I run my scripts from there. I
use the information file which dhcpcd creates in /var/run/dhcpc...info,
to provide data for my scripts, which is very handy. But, I am going to make
another attempt to get dhcpcd to work as advertised. The problem is, it
takes a long time to find out if dhcpcd is working well with the server,
since the leases are about one week in length and who knows, they may be
renewed repeatedly.
