[SLUG] ask tool
Dear List : I need to addblank to eachstring from a file so that theyare of the same length . ,then locate them on screen as I like. It seems thatPerl has no concept of file-coordinates(row,colum),align. if I use Perl to do with it, It takestimeto count number of blanks in shell-processing and it waste effortsforprogramming(program then throw it). It may not be Perl's speciality to do thing as above. Am I right? If so ,could someone promote a good tool? BestRegards Henry
[SLUG] Capturing keyboard values
Hi all, I have one of those HP internet Keyboards with the extra buttons, for volume control, launching webbrowsers, and the like.

quote who=Kevin Saenz I had to install the X11R6 contrib for mandrake. Now that I have captured the Keycodes where do I input the values to activate them? Not sure. Thus the sawfish recommendation, as it includes all of these for you. eg. XF86Search for the search button, XF86AudioPlay for the play button, etc. If you don't use Sawfish, go with Andre's option. - Jeff -- Science helps a lot, but people built perfectly good brick walls long before they knew why cement works. - Alan Cox -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Disable
Being a complete newbie I installed Red Hat 7.2 and tried to set up my machine to be a server (just for an office intranet - file and print serving - like an NT server). Now on bootup it sits for a long time on loading sendmail (about 2 mins) before continuing. How do I disable this function? What settings do I need for using the machine as a server (as described above)?

Re: [SLUG] Disable
Hello Don, If you wish to disable it, login as root and at a command prompt type: chkconfig --levels 2345 sendmail off OTOH, I have had a similiar problem, and I found that I had a static IP address, but no /etc/hosts entry pointing back to myself. Use your favorite editor to edit /etc/hosts and confirm there is a line for your server: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.x.x myserver.mydomain.com myserver The first line should always be there, modify the second line to your needs. The other time I had a similiar problem was due to a NIC driver not loading properly. If you can ping other servers, then that's not your problem. Regards, Stephan On Thu, 2002-03-07 at 06:42, D.

[SLUG] removing linux
Hello all, First of all, I apologize for the disclaimer, it comes up with Qantas e-mails automatically. Here's my problem. Many moons ago, i have installed Linux Mandrake on my laptop - as an experiment. This was about 6 months ago. I haven't used the system much and have forgotten the userid and password. On top of that, i got rid of the manuals and now i need to remove Linux from the laptop and re-format the hdd, so that Win98 will fit on it again. Is it as simple as sticking a DOS disk in fdd and re-formatting the hdd or it's more involved then that ?

This has about 35,000 newgroups. Let me know if comp.text.tex is not amoung them. I'm not in a position to know if UTS have removed their USENET service or if it is simply down. Most university IT sections regard USENET as poor value as the volume is massive and the readership low. [1] Arranging direct access to the Optus news server from machines on AARNet seemed a nice way of still giving people access to USENET without downloading unread gigabytes per day. We will pay a higher price for the read megabytes, but will still be substantially financially better off. But as I wrote above, I'm not sure that the USENET service at UTS has been deliberately removed or simply has operatonal problems. Either way, you're welcome and encouraged to use news.optus.net.au. Regards, Glen [1] Normal ISPs love USENET. They pay to get the traffic in once, and then get revenue sending out multiple copies. The more images the better :-) Because AARNet is owned solely by its users we are much more concerned about the value-for-money of those gigabytes. -- Glen Turner Network Engineer (08) 8303 3936 Australian Academic and Research Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aarnet.edu.au/ -- The revolution will not be televised, it will be digitised -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Like I said if I can't read them first up I bin them. My guess is that there are an awful lot of Outlook Expresses out there. Flame me if you like but I've got Linux servers and MS on the desktop. Not a flame, but why Windows on the desktop? I find my Linux desktop (enlightenment) much more pleasent to look at and very much easier to use.

Mandrake 8.2 is about to come out, it is in Beta 4 release at present. When's about? I'm going to push very hard for Mandrake to be the 'default recommended' install option for new users at the Linux Workshop. Don't do that. It's too east to install ;-) Make 'em suffer like we had to - give 'em Debian!

[SLUG] PDF creation in Linux
Sluggers, Does anyone have a neat / cool way to make PDF's? I've had a bit of a google around and found doc2pdf but seems she's a M$ binary. I'd basically like to create a print queue that outputs a PDF file, or alternatively an e-mail address that converts the attached file to PDF. (al la doc2pdf) I know that PDF is some kind of corruption of post script and vaguely remember someone on this list mentioning how to do this kind of things TIA's Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
