As the poster who made the original "Famous Finn" subject line (I felt
it would be disrespectful to continue the use of LT's name in such a
scurrilous fashion just to further a ridiculous troll-thread), I can
unequivocally state that Jean Sibelius is one of my favorite composers
(but note that he has never made it to the cover of Forbes, like LT),
and further assert that his violin concerto is the greatest one ever
created -- the second movement never fails to bring a tear the my eye.

I have always hated Hitler's violin concerto. Moreover, he could not
code to save his life (that's why he is dead). Hitler is definitely
my least favorite Finn. :-)

Subject: What about resetting?
Date: 15 Jan 1999 12:42:37 GMT
Last night I was deleting some files from RedHat 5.2 and accidently
deleted the Package Manager. Ooops, I thought and backed up my scripts and
C++ programs and re-installed RedHat. This was not really a problem
because I have just got Linux and have nothing of any real importance on
there. However, if something like this happens again, is there a way of
replacing parts of the OS without re-installing it?
Cheers.

WTF they are running. I have no f*cking objections against learning

what things are dangerous. Or what things are safe. Or just a general

Subject: A Netscape/RealAudio Question
Date: 15 Jan 1999 08:27:43 -0600
I am having a problem with playing audio files (must have my BBC World
Service!) and wonder if anyone has seen this before.
I am running Slackware 3.6 with kernel 2.0.36 on a Toshiba Libretto 70CT
using the stock Netscape 4.07 and RealAudio 5.0. This machine sits behind
another Linux box running ipmasq. The real audio player works fine, and
when playing the welcome.rm file works. Likewise, Netscape works fine.
When I attempt to play a live audio stream from the net, Netscape launches
real player and begins to buffer a clip. Unfortunatly, it never begins to
play any audio.
Somehow I doubt that it is a firewall issue and my wife is able to play
audio streams fine on her Windows 98 box, which is also being masquaraded.
Any ideas?

First of all, s/11/-7 and later -11/. Then, AT&T ain't DEC. And
original line bloody wasn't a 'DEC UNIX', by any account. DEC was not amused
by UNIX existance. They had their own OSes for -11 (R*-11 family). DEC was
*extremely* not amused by existance of BSD, since they considered VAXen as
their main product (in -11 times it was -10). BTW, the rest of David's
posting clearly implies VAXen, so the original line is completely out of
question.

1. Reboot the computer.

3. Wait until you get dropped in the "bash#:" prompt.
4. Change the root password. (Just type passwd and go from there).
5. Reboot as normal...

Youe should see something like lp1 or lp2 (in my case) when booting Linux.

That Model-T example might be relevant if that's ever
could really describe what Microsoft has done. It
describes Apple or even Atari fairly well but not Microsoft.
That and Model-T on the road today would still be less prone
to failure than either Win98 or WinNT.

fvwm is a window manager. That's it. It's not a Desktop Environment
(TM) or anything like that. If you want that, look at something like
GNOME or KDE. (In other words, fvwm is *contained*, which I consider
a valuable feature of a program.) You can add the relevant xv command
to a fvwm menu or to your InitFunction, or to your .xsession, if you
want it to run whenever you log in.

Are you aware of the following:
rpm -i rpm-filename
rpm -U rpm-filename
but
rpm -q packagename
If you used the rpm-filename in rpm -q you'll get a not-installed
message.
Do rpm -qa | grep gtk
to see what's installed. If you're trying to compile things,
you'll need the corresponding -devel package. You can have
several versions of a library installed, but only one devel
package. Avoid using --force unless you know what you're doing.
Why aren't you installing gimp rpms?

Yeah go out and spend $5000,00 on a local network before you learn to use
the mail apps in linux.
That'll sure help draw in the new users to Linux.

The new requirements for using Linux to get the mail:
Buy a local network setup, get a degree in sendmail and procmail and
whatever you intend to read your mail with, Experiment on your shiny new
local network first before you ever get an ISP account. Then call them up
and ask them if it's ok to try and get the mail.

The problem here is more along the lines of:

that caused the short by sticking the nozzle in the tank.

If you don't understand how the mail system works, don't try to get mail.
If you don't understand how Netscape does what it does don't surf the web.
If you don't understand how ftp works, don't download a file.
If you don't understand how a modem works don't call up an ISP.

Hi
I had similar problems when upgrading to libc-6, which
is used by Redhat-5.x. Most of them were caused by
1) mixing Linux and libc-headers. Try to replace
#include <linux/ip.h>
#include <linux/tcp.h>
by
#include <netinet/ip.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
2) a missing
#define _GNU_SOURCE_
which often shows up as parse errors before __u8 etc.
Libc6 DOES NOT implicitly define this when left out.

I wasn't effective marketing that made the difference. It was Sony's
dog-in-the-manger patent policy.

I finally just got WindowMaker 0.50.2 and compiled the sources. Of course,
that still causes problems: it compiled, and then as a user I ran
wmaker.inst. Fine, but running wmaker gives me
wmaker: error in loading shared libraries
libwraster.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Should I just upgrade to 5.2? Or does anyone know where to find this? I
haven't been able to locate such a file on sunsite anywhere...
