[Siglinux] Network interface wait

2002-10-08 Thread Spencer Ogden
I am trying Mandrake 9.0 out on my laptop. One of the things that is frustrating is the long time out on bringing up the networking interfaces. For example: I have a built in ethernet port and a wireless pcmcia card. If the network cable is unplugged it takes a long time, around 20 seconds for

Glad to hear this development from KDE! Thanks for notifying me: I will look into it. I understand xmove -- a mysterious program from the early 90s, mentioned on this list some time ago -- is unmaintained, stale, and has bugs. Is there an alternative with similar capabilities? I think a nice ve

I tried this but it was just overkill when all I wanted to do was read mail. KDE is currently working on a desktop sharing program based on VNC which would allow you to share your actual desktop, instead of startingup another instance of X for VNC clients. Spencer On Tuesday 08 October 2002

You're going at it bass-ackwards. Pick a box, any box, as your mail host. get your mail to the local spool[s] there. SSH + favorite client. No muss, no fuss, no bother. I travel a lot. I hate managing multiple spools, so I don't. My home server runs 24/7, my firewall has a provision for

I've been trying to come up with a good solution to this for a while. Basically the situation is this. I have a desktop which acts as my server. In the past that was the only place I read mail, so use Kmail to POP my mail from school. Now I have a laptop and would like to be able to have easy

hey kids, the first couple pages are probably of more interest to you than all of oreilly's new book announcements. still, a 20% discount and free(?) copies for review both sounded pretty neat...this came over the list for the boulder lug. - Forwarded message from "Kenneth D. Weinert" <[EMA
