Michael Polak, Regarding Arachne digest, what time of day is it sent, and how frequently? It would simplify my email not to have so many little messages as separate files. Why should the digest not be able to take MIME attachments as raw data as is, without trying to interpret the strange

[EMAIL PROTECTED], On crashing one's hard drive installing Linux, it seems to me safer than installing MS Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000. Linux installation leaves the other partitions alone. But it is quite possible to destroy a Windows partition with Linux fdisk. I am familiar with the

Re: DNS Numbers - or not?

2000-04-23 Thread Thomas Mueller
It is current practice for an ISP to assign DNS numbers dynamically when the connection is established. After running Arachne or Lynx, the values that were used are in the environment variables "myip" and "remip". Ken Martwick MYIP REMIP are distinct from the DNS (nameserver) addresses,

Cristian - Sorry it took so long for me to report back. Thanks to your input, I got Arachne up and running using my DSL connection. As a refresher, I'm running a peer-to-peer network in my home office using a 400 mhz Pentium as the main "server" with a P166 and a 386sx-16 connected as clients.

How can I *force* Arachne to generate a virtual page? With virtual set in options, almost all pages are rendered as virtual. I need this if I am going to save pages as BMP files, and for certain things I *must* have this ability. But at least one page I ran into today is *not* rendered as

Exporting to NUL

Don't laugh at the subject; Arachne has found a way to do that! Actually it is a bug. If you elect to export a file [at least txt but probably any export] and the destination you give doesn't have the space to handle the file, Arachne doesn't bother to tell you there's no space, Arachne doesn't
