Re: Cannot echo capital M
Thanks a million. A faulty .inputrc was the problem. PAI On Mon, Jul 10, 2000 at 06:02:51PM +0100, David Wright wrote: Quoting M.K.Pai ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I am facing a rather strange problem.

IP aliasing on loopback ( Slink )
Guys, Please help me. I am trying to do IP aliasing on loopback, i,e create lo:0, lo:1 etc. The steps outlined in IP Aliasing mini-howto don't seem to work for me. Step 1 : I do /sbin/ifconfig lo:0 192.168.0.1 Now 192.168.0.1 appears as lo:0 in ifconfig Step 2 : Then I do route add -net 192.168.0.0 dev lo OR route add -net 192.168.0.0 dev lo:0 No problems reported on stderr in either case Step 3 : Then I do either route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev lo OR route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev lo:1 Still no problems on command line Step 4 : Then I add route add default gw 192.168.0.1 Still no problems reported Step 5 : Lastly ping 192.168.0.1 Ping starts up and send packets but recieves NONE back ! What am I doing wrong ? Oh, I forgot to mention, I am using Slink. Thanks in advance. PAI

Re: Need help for x window
Just my $ 0.02. Use xf86config. I like it more than tha xf86setup. Use the most generic freqs. It always works. The reason I started to use xf86config was that I was using a lousy no-name cheap cheap b/w monitor from an Indian company that had gone out of business. And believe me, I was pleased with the results. PAI

Dear Manuel, If you want to take prints of books put out on the web, I would recommend is using netscape with a -remote option. Check out man netscape. PAI

Slink wine not working
Guys, I am on Debian 2.1.2 ( cheapbytes ). It contains wine-19980413. It does not do anything. It runs nothing and generates no error messages. I have OpenDOS mounted on /opendos. I have made a windows\system directory on it and 'touch'ed a win.ini file in it. The win.ini is empty. I do not have Windows installed. Is my problem related to the empty win.ini file ? If so can I just take a copy of someone's win.ini file and plug it in there ? Could someone send me his/ her copy of a 16-bit win.ini file ? That is what is said in the wine-FAQ supplied with my CDs. Thanks. PAI
Why sendmail rather than qmail
Guys, Why does slink ship with sendmail rather than qmail as default ? Further, why is only the src pkg of qmail supplied ? Even more puzzling, why does qmail go in as non-free ? I'd appreciate any insights. M.K.Pai
