Re: OpenOffice Outline - making it stick
I've used this with paragraph formatting, not outlining. With OOo it seems that the trick to modifying the default format for a document is through the styles menu. Open Format/Styles/Catalog and you will see a pull-down menu of paragraph, character, frame, page numbering styles. For each of these, then, there are a number of options, default being the one in effect for a new document. You either can then modify the default style, or create name a new one. For your problem, I think the solution would be to select Numbering Styles, and then either modify or creat a new numbering style that will be the default for your entire document. Whereas, what you are doing (and I did, as well) is selecting a style for a specific paragraph, which ends with that paragraph. Hope this helps. mike On Tuesday 18 November 2003 10:15 pm, Brett I.

Re: backup windows partition (fat)
Rather than purchase commercial software, why not just use tar, cp, dd, or partimage? I'm a little rusty on my DOS, but I seem to remember there are a couple of hidden system files that have to go back into a certain place in the partition (io.sys, msdos.sys?) but you should be able to get around that by doing a system format, before restoring the files. mike On Sunday 02 November 2003 10:39 pm, you wrote: Collins Richey wrote: Is there an easy way to backup a windows partition then restore it later without gimping anything that windows requires?

Re: strange cd problem
Following up on what Net Llama Roger have said, what type of CD is it, CD-R or CD-R/W? Have you noticed your CD drive laboring to read the CD, i.e., seeming to thrash and then failing? I have a CD reader that is only about a year or so old, which can not read CD-R/W's, no matter how slowing burned. It would labor for what seemed an eternity and eventually just give up.

Re: more .pdf -- why not?
This is not a particularly elegant solution, but it's one way to get it done. GIMP has the ability to import postscript files and a text tool which you could use to complete the forms. The major drawback is that the end result is a binary graphic file. I can't remember where, but sometime during this past year I was reading a file about postscript and PDF's which explained that it was very difficult to convert a PDF file back into a formatted text file. I wish I could explain why, but my brain stored the conclusion and quickly forgot all the detail. mike On Monday 20 October 2003 02:36 pm, you wrote: first, in answer to my own question having to do with cutting a few pages out od a pdf file and saving them as a separate pdf file, it finally got done though, sadly, by a friend who was running a windows app which converted the postscript file i got from printing those pages to a file. (the winapp did, though, make it into a 1.6-meg pdf, which is a little excessive.) now i'm seeking to do something else. the state of connecticut offers all its court forms as .pdfs. which may be printed out and filled out by hand or -- ugh -- typewriter. i do not need to preserve these as .pdfs, but i would like to import them into something such that i can fill them out on the computer prior to printing and then, of course, save them. this would, ideally, allow them to simply be imported into a word processor or something like it. i know of no linux application which allows this, however. any ideas?

Re: sharing an inbox in kmail
This would be my preferred solution, as well. Otherwise, I believe the following would work, as well. Kmail stores all your messages in ~/Mail, that is, a Mail subdirectory in your home directory. Using your login, configure Kmail as you would like it. Then, under her login configure Kmail identically. Then, replace the ~/Mail subdirectory in her home directory (or yours) with a link pointing to the other ~/Mail subdirectory. Next, make sure all permissions relating to the ~/Mail subdirectories and any and all files and subdirectories therein are readable, writeable and searchable by both of you. Both of you should then be able to login as appropriate, check and send e-mail, as long as you're not both logged in simultaneously.

Re: File times
I believe that `ls -al` shows the modification time, i.e., the time that the content of the files was last modified. In the case of a binary distribution, tar ball, etc. this, most likely, is the time that the package was created.

Re: Slow printing on RHL 9
I couldn't find any information on the HP website, so first question is, is your HP2200 a postscript capable printer, or is it an HP PCL only printer? If your HP2200 is post script capable, then your print driver should, essentially, just be passing the printfile raw to the printer -- and should go very fast. Otherwise, the postscript has to first be translated into HP PCL which would go much more slowly. If you do have a postscript capable printer, but the wrong CUPS driver, it's possible that the postscript is being converted to HP PCL unnecessarily. cmr On Tuesday 02 September 2003 03:33 pm, you wrote: OK... got back to this.

Re: HP scanners on Linux.
I'm coming in late to this party but I, also, would like to add my vote for Epson. After using an HP 4C for several years, it went TU and HP's only response was that they were sorry and I would have to buy a new one. After surveying the market and checking SANE supported devices: http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-mfgs.html#EPSON I chose an Epson Expression 1680 and have not had a moments trouble. cmr On Thursday 28 August 2003 06:27 pm, you wrote: I'm getting a bit frustrated with HP after recommending that one ouf our customers buy an HP scanner for use with their SuSE 8.2 system.

I then built the LatestGreatest version of the sane software in hopes that would solve the problem, but no joy there either. I sent an e-mail question to HP asking whether this scanner is supported, and they said no, but to check http://linux.hp.com for information on supported scanners. Nothing there of any use. Another e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking for a list of current HP scanners that _ARE_ supported, and they just sent me off to the sane web sites again. Another e-mail to them pointing out that HP is supposedly promoting Linux, sells hardware that should be useful on Linux systems, and could they please just send me a list of current scanners supported by sane. The reply I got that basically said bugger off, we don't support scanners on Linux. My reply was mostly polite, saying that I could see no reason to use any HP products in the future given the attitude of their support folks. That said, can anybody recommend current scanners that are well supported under Linux?

Re: Slow printing on RHL 9
Tim, I'm still exploring the mysteries of CUPS, myself, so this may be of little help, but the first thing I would check would be your choice of printer driver. When you install a new printer under CUPS, your presented with a choice of drivers. The CUPS people actual provide a few, the GIMP people provide a lot more, and then there are the Foomatic drivers. Some of the drivers are really good but a lot are not so good. Try experimenting with different drivers. I think the GIMP drivers, generally, are pretty good. cmr On Friday 29 August 2003 03:15 pm, you wrote: I'm conducting an experiment with a willing subject at work. I've installed RHL 9 and he's using it in his day to day activity. One of his activities involves logging onto an online 3PL site (Third Party Logistics) and printing a 2 page bar coded shipping document. RHL 9 is configured to use CUPS and the printer is a networked JetDirect printer (HP 2200). When he prints the document, it takes nearly 5 minutes for both pages to finally finish printing. Contrast this to the less than 1 minute it takes for the document to print via Windows. Now, if he logs into a remote X session on our RHL 7 server and prints from there, it prints fast, just like it does from Windows. Both the RHL 7 server and the RHL 9 desktop are running CUPS. The desktop machine is an AMD K6-2 500 MHz with 256MB RAM, the server is a 1GHz Intel. Any ideas on what I can try to speed up the printing?

Re: Tape drives
I've been using DAT DDS-3 for the past four years with good results. Of the two units that I have, a Tecmar WangDAT 9300 and an HP Surestore DAT24, the Tecmar is my favorite, but Tecmar is out of business now. Both have been reliable, and you couldn't go wrong with HP. (I do incremental backups of 3 - 5 GB's four nights a week, with a full 18GB or so weekly backup.) DDS-3 has a 12GB native capacity, or approx. 24GB with compression, so it's on the low side of your requirement. The next generation, DDS-4, has 20/40 GB capacity.

Re: Does Kmail support MIME encoding?
Kmail does, indeed, support MIME encoding. I'm not expert at this, but I'm guessing that you have received an email with html formatting, rather than ascii formatiing and Kmail is not rendering the html. If that's the case, then your problem, probably, is that html rendering is turned off for security reasons. Go into Settings/Security/General and see if the checkbox for HTML is turned on. Or, alternately, go to Appearance/Profiles and select Kmail with HTML previewing (this makes other changes to your options as well). Hope this helps. cmr On Friday 22 August 2003 07:16 pm, you wrote: I am using Kmail 1.4.3 with KDE 3.0.5.

When I change it to UTC, the system sets it back to the local time either when starting up or shutting down. So, unless I want to get involved in those scripts (which I don't) this box is staying on local time. You can use `hwclock` with and without the --utc option to query and/or set your hardware clock. I switched to Debian from COL a couple of months ago and one difference that I've noticed between the two is that when I'm shutting Debian down, it sets the hardware clock to whatever the software clock is, then, currently set to. This didn't happen with COL. I can't say which method is more prevalent, but it sounds like your distribution is resetting your hardware clock on shutdown. Again, with COL, there was a parameter buried somewhere in the startup scripts which attempted to determine whether your hardware clock was set to UTC or local, and then set the software clock accordingly. I have dug deep enough into Debian yet, to determine just how that's done. mike Well, got THAT question answered. Onward.
