If your program has files open, the files may not get updated
correctly - cache not written, for example, or with an indexed
data base which has an index file and a data file, one may have
been updated but the other not. The end result is database
corruption, file system corruption (remember all of the lost
clusters you get? cross-linked files?) Since some of the mail
user agents use an index/data file type system, you can lose
mail or corrupt your mail system.
I fought this for years with a DB that's takes 1 to 2 hours
to rebuild, hoping you haven't lost any data. It doesn't corrupt
on every crash, but often enough to be a real time waster,
both for my time and system/CPU time.
Once a day may be an average - it may be as rarely as every 3 or
4 days, or as often as every time you launch a program for an
entire morning. Some of these may be unnecessary reboots, but
the automatic reaction I see in most Windows users is if something
goes wrong, or even just takes too long, they hit CTRL-ALT-DEL.
If you can tolerate it, then obviously you don't have a problem
and you have no reason to switch. But don't pretend Windows is a
reliable system.

Windows market saturation is more dependent on marketing to
computer manufacturers and its monopoly position than on the
quality customers perceive or don't perceive. the reverse of
that statement - that Windows IS as bad a COLA folks say, and
that's one reason Linux is growing rapidly - is probably
closer to the truth.

Once again, there probably isn't a reason for those people to
switch. It's doubtful that many of those people would even follow
this NG closely.

And Windows reliability won't improve unless people complain
about or switch in significant numbers to other products. I've
struggled with MS products since the early 80's (although I did
use DR-DOS for a while, which I found to be much better pre Win3.1)
and I'm just happy to have MS and it's marketing smokescreen out
of my life.

Largely, yes. :-) At least in the home desktop space. Games are a
lot less important in other contexts. But they DO drive OS popularity
(at least on the desktop).

Hi all, I am having a hard time compiling a custom kernel (2.0.36) on my
RedHat 5.2 system. make config, make dep, and make clean all work. When I
try to make zImage, the compile begins, and after 5 minutes or so of
compilation, I get this error message:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'

What is this as86 command, and what can I do about it?

How about ViewMAX/2 ? It ran on my 8088 as I recall.

(For the lesser informed, ViewMAX/2 was a very late incarnation of GEM/Intel)

In particular, I'm planning to get Redhat Linux, but if there is another

Subject: HELP, Upgrading gcc to 2.7.2.3-X
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 14:33:22 +0800
Hi, All
Currently in my Linux System, I have a kernel of 2.0.35.
My C/C++ compiler is gcc(gcc-c++) of 2.7.2.1 from RedHat 4.2. I want to
upgrade it to gcc-2.7.2.3-X. I tried to do this by using command:
rpm -U gcc-2_7_2_3-14_i386.rpm
OR
rpm -U gcc-2_7_2_3-8_i386.rpm
(I downloaded these .rpm file from RedHat's ftp site.)
Then I got following error message:
failed dependency:
/sbin/install-info is needed by gcc-2.7.2.3
Normal, dependency requirements are some other RPM packages but this time it
asks for a file. I have no idea what this file is and where I can get one.
In its FTP site, RedHat provided "rpmcontent" list for its 3.03 and 4.2
version. Why don't they do this for its 5.X version or I just did find it?
Thanks for your help

Play around with editing images a little, and watch it go to work!
Gimp or Imagemagick are both quite capable of checking out your swap
for you. Xv probably won't do anything that goes over 100Mb though,
so you could use it all day long and with 128Mb of RAM and probably
not start swapping unless you view a dozen images at once.

I have 3.3.2 and downloaded only the 3.3.3 server.
Xconfigurator did its thing and I'm zooming along
with an 8Mbyte AGP Matrox Millennium G200. There
is a README.MGA that I also downloaded; it really
helped.
But; I am using xdm, and when I logout I get a line
of garbage along the top of my screen. Anyone got
a good XF86Config for the G200? Mine obviously isn't
quite right.

I saw this subject line that says this and that and then I read this....
Just remember one thing, you just admitted to the world that you "have
never paid for a microsoft product". If a microsoft employee were to get
pissed by this (and no I am not one) you end up paying more that what you
would have spent buying those Microsoft products and may even go to jail
for some time.
On the lighter side you don't HAVE to pay for Linux. There is no law that
says you have to pay.
As for copying try the 'cp' command used like this
cp <file1> <file2> just like in dos, but not as much typing.

Glad to hear it wasn't impossible. I had endless trouble (not) getting

sides, the cd was not recognizable and nothing (win95, that is) worked

Umm, as I recall the PDP-11 had "graphics capability" and Thompson
used that capability to program a simple game called "Space Travel."
I don't know how unix entered into the picture, though. My
recollection is that Thompson's interests were in developing file
systems, not operating systems.
Unix was an offshoot of the failed MULTICS project. The "kernel," you
might say, of the idea was brought back from there.

I believe it is part of the GNU assembler for Intel systems. On my
system it is in /usr/bin. If you find it there, your PATH may be
wrong.

The first few lines are peers that innd thinks it should be funneling
articles to via innfeed. If you look in innfeed.conf you'll see they
correspond to the examples that are installed by default; I suggest you
comment them out. Better still you probably don't even need to use innfeed,
so make sure you comment all unnecessary feeds out of the newsfeeds file as
well.
When you're done do `cltinnd reload all meow' and you should be fine.
The named stuff looks like you've told it to run verbosely.

You have at least two choices:
a) use kermit which has it's own scripting language
available from ftp://kermit.columbia.edu
b) use expect with your existing telnet binary (from NetKit)
available from http://expect.nist.gov
