Hi... Any system with dwww connected to the Web will do it. This includes mine. If you can't find any others, you can use mine at http://vulture667.dyn.ml.org (yeah, that's a modem server, but it's online a lot); click the `dwww' link on the left navigation bar to go straight to the dwww browser

Re: more newbie questions: un(b)locking /dev/lp1

Hi... Maybe you should compile lp support in your kernel as a module. Besides saving memory and such, you can also rmmod and insmod it to possibly reset the lp* ports and solve your problem. Alex On Wed, 22 Jul 1998, Chris Evans wrote: Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 17:12:34 +0100 From: Chris Evans

Re: Linus Torvalds interview

Hi... I don't think Microsoft is an evil company, either. I just think they're overpressured to put out software. Communist, tolerant societies like the Linux community simply doesn't put QUITE that much pressure on developers. (although I'm sure it puts plenty of it on all of them...) Alex On

Re: Linus Torvalds interview

Hi... Well, Windows is a decent OS if you know how to use and configure it right (and work around its many bugs). If you can't deal with bugs in an OS you don't deserve to be allowed to use a computer, or even own one. Windows took many years to develop into its present state of glory and bugs

Hi... Your C: drive in dosemu is write protected. Check dosemu.conf for anything about write proteection or something. (then again, it could also be the buggy as f***in' h*** FreeDOS kernel acting up again - try using a MS-DOS floppy if you haven't already) Alex On Wed, 22 Jul 1998, shaul

Re: emacs/xemacs conflict?

Hi... XEmacs also has a console mode with which you can replace GNU Emacs. I'm not sure that it's exactly the same, but it does work and is good. Alex On Wed, 22 Jul 1998, the lone gunman wrote: Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 20:04:47 -0500 From: the lone gunman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Matt

Re: Graphical Linux Logo on boot

Hi... I used that patch for a while. It messes with extended ASCII characters pretty badly. And I think it's Intel specific. Alex On Thu, 23 Jul 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1998 10:33:25 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc:

Re: Year 2000 compliance

Hi... Linux has no Y2K issues aside from the BIOS. It's that simple. However, sometime in the 2030s, it will have some time_t problems if not fixed by then. They should be, although you will probably need to upgrade your embedded system if you want it to keep running after then. Alex On Thu, 23

Hamm and 3com's 905 PCI.

Hi. After using Debian 2.0 at home (and enjoying it very much) I decided to bring it to work, install it on some computers and show the world that Debian is better then both Win.NT and RedHat5.1. Well, I didn't bring the CD with me since I knew that I can have it here through NFS. The problem is

Re: DVD support for linux

Hi... Ok, I'm going to respond to that one thing at a time... :P DVD: Should be supported, including MPEG, but don't expect proprietary stuff on DVDs to run. Video card: As long as X and svgalib support it, it should probably be fine. S3 Trio* based cards will definitely work. Odd things like

Re: Hamm and 3com's 905 PCI.

The problem is that the installation floppies (the drv1440, I mean) doesn't have 3com 90x PCI drivers, and I can't work. (I'm writing this from my other computer that has RedHat (that will hopefully become Debian as soon as I can get it to work with the network card)). What you need to

Re: DVD support for linux

Hi... It's really up to you. I really recommend building a machine from scratch, but if you insist on having someone else do it for you, a specialized Linux machine is probably a safe bet. (proprietary technology is a pain in the *** with Linux) Alex On Thu, 23 Jul 1998, Curt E. Spann wrote:
