That's actually an old version of NEdit. The newest, 5.0.2, adds syntax-
highlighting (the best multi-language highlighting anywhere), and a complete
macro language. The official web page is at:
http://www-pat.fnal.gov/nirvana/nedit.html
You can download the newest version source or pre-built binary, from:
ftp://ftp.fnal.gov/pub/nedit/v5_0_2/

Have you made a lilo bootdisk during the install (you should have done
so...).
If you have, then simply boot with this lilo bootdisk. When you are back
to linux
again, reinstall lilo (by typing simply "lilo" as root).
If you haven't, then it's a bit more difficult...

The "plot" is thickening. I just noticed that the drive made with mkdosfs
is "seen" by Windows, it's just shown as the F: drive not the E: drive as
intended. I can highlight the E: drive icon, and presumably format it.
One would assume the F: drive would then go away. Wierd.

I have recently acquired a Paralell Port Zip 100 Drive, and I would like to

controller on my motherboard with a 2GB HD and a 4x CD drive on it. I have

to try it out, however, it seems like it makes the zip drive /dev/sda, but
that is where my hard drive is! When everything else trys to load, and
finds an empty zip disk instead of a hard drive, it stops with a Kernel

reading message 1 of 1 (1336 octets)

And where can I find it (I've got the 1.6.1.a4) and all I could find by
a quick search at altavista and some ftp sites was not better than
1.6.1.3.
By the way, what seems to be a problem is the interrupts and the cpu
because it works well using a command like :
xosview +load -cpu +mem +swap -battery +net -int

No. It says that you don't have to provide source code "unless that
component itself accompanies the executable". This is an exception
from the exception. Formulated positively, it means "You must provide

Hi!
I recently changed to the 2.2.1 kernel. I had 2.0.35. I got everything
to work BUT my LPT1 and the Zip drive on it.
I have a printer on LPT2 on a IO card, it works fine, but for some
reason parport sees it a /dev/lp0, and totally ignores my LPT1! Also
ppa.o will not see my Zip drive, even if I put it on LPT2 instead of my
printer. ppa just responds that the Device or resource is busy. LPT1 is
the on-board parport on my motherboard, I have tried all settings in the
BIOS (SPP, ECP, EPP, ...ect) and parport will not see it. I have tried
many combinations of compiling support in the kernel and as modules,
turned auto probe on and off, compiled ppa as a module, or in the
kernel, ect.... I cannot think of any more possible combinations. Is
there any debugging that I can turn on? Any Ideas? Both ports and my Zip
drive worked fine in 2.0.35. - Jeremy

cnews is also widely used, and is much easier to set up and better suited
to smaller systems.

It's also not too much fun for the people who have to download your 2.5M
announcement over a dialup line.

I have only Linux installed on my computers. I had Windows on one of them
for a few months while I worked on a project that required it. I deleted
it when I was done.

One man's arcana is another's intuitive interface.

Putting a GUI on a server is like putting a Cadillac suspension on a pickup
truck and then complaining when the springs bottom out when you put half a
ton of gravel in the back. The Microsoft solution is to keep the Cadillac
suspension and move up to a 5-ton, which can then just about handle that
1000 lb load.
With a decent OS there is no real need for any UI at all on the server. The
UI belongs on the sysadmin's workstation.

Subject: Network ARP problem
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 11:16:21 -0500
I've just setup a 3com 509b card in my SuSE 5.3 (K2.0.35) system. I
followed the sample setup in Net-3-Howto and everything worked well
until i try to ping a station on the network. The ping never respond on
the machine.
The ARP Broadcast went on the network, i could see it with a sniffer,
and the pinged station responded.
If i check in the ARP table, my neighbor station is in the list (there
is only one entry), with the addresss 00.00.00.00.00.00. So i suppose
that after the ARP request the TCP stack couldn't send the ICMP request
to an address of 00s and didn't sent it.
Could anybody tell me where should i check to correct this problem ? Is
my ARP is in fault or something i miss in my configuration?
Thanks,
patrick
