Dot files are meant to be hidden files. The asterisk wildcard is not
supposed to catch "hidden" dot files.
One common idiom is to use ".??*", which won't get files like ".a" or ".,"
but that often isn't a problem. You can also use find(1):

Subject: SuSE install ?
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 13:59:03 -0500
Hello,
I am trying to install SuSE. I have the boot disk and
everything goes fine until I have to select the source directory on my
source install which is /dev/hda1 & the directory is /suse. Then the
setup program says it "cant find the image" and to check the directory.
the directory is correct and is a fat{not fat32} filesystem. I have
installed redhat,slackware, many times from this partition with no
problems. I think either there is a root image or kernel-setup image
for SuSE that should be in the /suse directory though I could not find
one at ftp.suse.com I tried the inst_sys_tar.gz file but that was not
it. Also maybe SuSE is not recognizing the filesystem I tried to see if
support could be loaded as a module, but only SCSI and CD-roms can be at
setup. Am I looking to deep into this problem, it seems like a simple
install image somewhereis missing? If you have had this problem with
SuSE {english version} let me know, we should probaly let SuSE know
too?...the ftp.suse.com site seems setup for someone installing from cd
and not from a harddrive partition.:}Thanks Navi

Hi,
In order to set up my sound card i have to compile and run a small c
file which is attachment.
I compile the file without problems with this command
gcc -O3 OPTi82C931.c -o OPTi82C931
then i run it and the below messages appeared:
/root/OPTi82C931.c: /bin: is a directory
/root/OPTi82C931.c: Desktop: command not found
/root/OPTi82C931.c: Desktop: command not found
/root/OPTi82C931.c: Desktop: command not found
/root/OPTi82C931.c: Desktop: command not found

/root/OPTi82C931.c: line 7: unexpected EOF while looking for matching
`''
/root/OPTi82C931.c: line 97: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I thought that the problem is the Desktop command because i don't have
it. So i looked for it in all rpms in ReadHat5.1 CD but i didn't find
anything.
If i don't run this program correctly i can't set up my sound card so i
need desperately some ideas about it.
I really look forward to hearing from someone then answer.

you need to compile drivers for your scsi controller. while most
popular scsi controllers are supported, check, e.g., the
Hardware-HOWTO, dejanews &c and see.

netgear was using dec tulip 2114x chips for 10/100Mbit ethercards.
now they are using a clone chip called lite-on pnic. many people
report problems with the clone. try to get real dec tulip. btw many
manufacturers make cards based on the tulip so netgear is not your
only option. i've got a d-link card (21140) and two dec cards (21140
and 21041).
i have two 21140 cards running at 100Mbit on my home lan. i have a
10BT 21041 card talking to cablemodem. the dec tulips are very nice and
i've had no problems with them.
i don't know if the 3Com or Intel card/chipsets are good or bad. i am
not aware of any extra functionality of the dec tulip. but then i am
by no means an expert in the area of networks and network cards.
search dejanews and comp.os.linux.networks.

When playing cd, you use the direct connection of the cdrom to the

Subject: Linux is not even in Windows 9X's class.
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 05:57:39 GMT
In article <76tk66$gf4$[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
Alot of people wrote: Linux Rules, Linux Sux, Linux will win, MS will win.
Well, I skipped most of them because I've been spending the last week getting
situated in school for my first semester here, and I don't care to read 300
posts that effectively can be summed up in the second line of this post.
I will have my say on the subject though.(and most of it may have been said
already)
Bill Gates is indeed a genius. Bill Gates is THE Man, if I could be like
anybody when I 'grow up', it would be Bill.
Bill Gates is the Ultimate Businessman. Period, you cannot argue that
point(well, maybe you can point out some other businessmen who were better.)
Anyone who makes in the billions by selling Windows to the world like he did
cannot be beaten in business. Windows is the ultimate in commercial
software. You MUST have it. In order to use the latest software for
computers today, you must have it. Never has so much demand for one man's
product been so great in the history of the world. Only a Genius could have
pulled that off.
Now then Bill Gates came away from Harvard with infinitely more business
sense than computer sense, as nothing he's written has been original or even
better than average, and nothing his company has written has improved over
the previous versions. (Who found Dos 3.2 difficult to configure? Yeah
there were the Memory limitations, but it wasn't difficult to configure new
hardware, or new software, unless you had Memory hog Software, which ten
years ago was what, 512k?) And yet he's managed to sell SHIT for ten years
straight, and lead the Market doing it. As I said, the man is a Genius.
Now...Windows blows, we all know it(I have a split-partition so I can play
games, and not much else with Windows). Windows leads the market, we all know
that too. Deal with it, Windows will only be 'king' as long as there is a
market for it, once people stop spending money on it, Windows will
crash(Well..Windows crashing is a given, but I mean in a Business Market.)
Windows can be stopped when people stop buying it.
Linux However, cannot be stopped in normal business terms. Redhat? Yes.
SUSE? Yes. Other commercial versions? Yes. But Linux itself isn't
commercial, and cannot be crushed by an inferior commercial product, or a
company that relies 100% on the sale of its products to survive. So, how can
Microsoft possibly make Linux fight for survival?
Linux cannot win out over all, though, and this is where MS comes in.(It's
either MS or Apple, folks..or maybe OS/2, but OS/2 takes a little bit of
thought and effort to install and use). MS shovels shit to the lowest common
denomonator. The Folks that sent their first E-mail through AOL, and think
they were soooo Cyberpunk, the folks that had trouble when their 'coffee cup
holder' couldn't support the weight of their coffee mug, or people who think
that a Virus is going to be GUI and announce itself before it hits them, or
the people who buy the latest and greatest and fastest computers, most
expensive so that their kids can do 'homework' using that great Grolier
Multimedia Encyclopedia, (which had what..maybe 1k of actual information per
topic, and millions of wasted k on grainy pictures and half-second sound
bites? God, I'm glad I didn't pay for that disk).
Linux will never be popular among most computer users
because thanks to MS, 90% of computer users are people who should never have
been allowed to buy them in the first place. Thanks to Bill Gates' Business
Saavvy(SP?), he will always have a market with them by playing 'hey, we're
normal people doing this' and feelgood commercials set to Rolling Stones
music.
Start that paragraph over...Linux cannot win out as the premiere OS, because
it requires a bit of thought and effort to use it. Linux is where DOS was
before Windows 3.0 came out(Socially speaking, that is) it's still for the
'geeks'. It is beyond the Common User.
Let it stay there. Let Windows have their market...in reality, Linux doesn't
even begin to threaten it, because 90% of MS users would die if they couldn't
install and configure it with a mouse, and call a toll number and be put on
hold for several hours while the MS Tech support guy looks up the answer to a
yes-or-no question. If Linux ever did win out as the Common Man's OS, how
bad do you think it would have become? Each version of Windows was dumbed
down from the last, do you really want Linux to be dumbed down enough to beat
any version of MS Windows?

I have need to use two pointers. They both use the MS 2-button
protocol. I run gpm with "gpm -R -m /dev/ttyS0 -M -m /dev/ttyS1". I
use /dev/gpmdata as my pointer device for X. Both pointers work
independently. When I run gpm and use X, the first pointer works fine,
but the second sends middle-button clicks every few seconds when I move
it. So, I can only use the first pointer for now. This same problem
occurs at a text console, as well.
Is this a problem with gpm or my setup? Thanks in advance for any
replies.

Beste Ron, ik denk dat voor jou het mooiste is om een SuSE distributie te
kopen. Deze zijn wat gemakkelijker in gebruik dan RedHat. Mocht je toch
willen upgraden naar 5.2 dan gewoon de boot flop erin en kies optie
upgraden dan gaat alles vanzelf binnen 15 minuten ben je klaar.
Om als root te kunnen telnetten kun je twee dingen doen:
1 - login als een gewone user en type in su - <enter> en geef het root
password.
2 - edit /etc/securetty en voeg maar de volgende regels toe:
ttyp0
ttyp1
ttyp2
nu kun je direct als root in de eerste 3 telnet sessies inloggen

You are indeed missing a few points.
#C6C6B2 is the rgb value for the background and you can change that to
another value, but you can't change its format (like #C600C600B200) or you
Xserver won't understand it. You can also specify the background using the
name of a color (e.g. red, blue, peachpuff, etc). To see a list of colors
type showrgb at the prompt.
The way you configure your Xserver, however, it's another story.
About the depth, tell me what monitor you have, and what video card, and
e-mail me your XF86Config file.
I can't promise I'll find what's wrong, but I'll try.

Can you just temporarily unmount the filesystem, or would that defeat

On my box, Linux and Windows are about as good as each other for heating,

I have SuSE 5.3 and Netscape 4.5. I couldn't compile xfstt myself (didn't
want to behave) so I got a binary from a friend. It worked fine. I
installed a bunch of ttf fonts and ran xfstt from .xinitrc and it works.
Netscape recognized all the new fonts I put into the correct directories, and
they work. All the fonts *look* fine, BUT, they are super tiny! So I changed
.xinitrc to run xfstt --res 96. No change at all. I haven't tried starting
X with -dpi ***, yet though.
My screen is 1152 x 864 on a 17" monitor. I would think that wouldn't bee too

You may have to point the configure script to the locations where the

Your soundcard is initialized, else you wouldn't hear the audio, even though its
only from the CD. It shows that your mixer alive. Try /dev/dsp and tell me.

This is definately a RealPlayer configuration. Follow the instructions at:

Try to see if OSS will solve your problem:

Good question. Might be related back to your previous problem? (libraries?)
Got a question for you. I'm an electronics enginneering technologist who is
currently unemployed. Any leads??? Huh huh??? Any??? Ok, it was worth a
shot.

=========================================================================
USING DIR_COLORS IN REDHAT.....
copy /etc/DIR_COLORS to youe home directory as .dir_colors
Use your favorite text editor to modify .dir_colors to suit
your taste for colors.
In your "~/.bashrc" set an alias:
alias ls='ls --color'
alias lv='ls --color -la'
Then run the following command from the prompt:
dircolors -b ~/.dir_colors >> ~/.bashrc
This will export the Bourne shell compatable code to set the environment
variable for LS_COLORS, and add it to your bash initialization files.
Now, close your open shells and reopen them.

I had some issues with multiple billing for one order and multiple orders
being processed against my credit card. They took a one year subscription
for one person and changed that to multiple subscriptions for one person.
I read that LJ is outsourcing their subscriptions. Perhaps its time to
insource them. I got a amex bill with at least 4 transactions for SSC on
them. I sent email and never got responses. I now get one mag a month.

One thing about the Diamond Supra Express 56i . . . Make sure it has the
latest code in it's flash ROM. I was having problems with the modem locking
up (could only be cured by off/on cycle - in Linux!!!) until I upgraded.
