It's reasonably safe to just extract the contents to somewhere like /usr/local/netscape or similar.

Sure, why not? > where else is reasonable? /etc/csh.login? thats for everyone tho? Yes, it is. For my personal machine I just change csh.login, but I gather you're making this machine public access, so you might not want everyone to have X on their path by default, and probably not sbin either. > /etc/login.defs Controls login parameters, like time delay between incorrect logins and so on. > also for this one, we'd like to move the mailboxes from > /var/spool/mail to ~userid/.mail (or someplace in the users > home directory). how does the MTA and the MUAs know where to put > mail? is the setting in /etc/login.defs enough? or does sendmail.cf > and pine.conf need parameters? I don't think this is supported. I think qmail prefers to do it this way though, perhaps you could try that. I don't know what the debization status is. > eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:76:80:38:05 > inet addr:206.66.160.242 Bcast:206.66.160.247 Mask:255.255.255.248 > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 > TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 > Interrupt:15 Base address:0x340 > > we figured we could just change the DNS and the ifconfig/route to give > the port a name route it to the new machine. have the new machine > masquerade as the old one (servers run on new machine and internet > users access them with real IP address thats masq'd to the fake one?). > the servers will be innd, apache, UUCP (it will need to get the UUCP > news from the current UUCP connection (having it store and forward)) > and send it to the new server via UUCP/TCP-IP) since the modems are on > the old machine, sendmail, ftp, bind etc... same stuff we;re runing on > the old system, but current versions.

Sorry, I can't help with sendmail. It sounds like a DNS problem perhaps. Also if the old machine has a different IP completely then they both need to be configured to have a route over eth0 to the other. > startx -- -bpp 24 made it look brighter and more able to be read. > looked bigger but I cant tell. the image is a little distorted on far > left side.

Edit the "Modes" line and remove the higher resolutions that you don't want. Distorted image is probably due to too high a resolution or refresh rate for your monitor.
