I'm (still) running NT 4.0 on one of my drives, and I upgraded to MSIE 5
last night. Lemme tell you, you don't want to use this sucker for a few
months. It's your typical let-the-customers-debug-it Microsoft effort. It
lost my saved News files, tried awfully hard to connect me to MSN, and
seems, perhaps, to have destroyed a couple of DLL's that other programs
need.
It's fast, and Outlook Express 5 is an improvement over the older version --
but let the public debug is for a couple of months. You'll save yourself
some annoyance that way.
Cheers,
-dlj.

X is designed to run over a network, meaning that the system where
you run an X client is not necessarily the same system where the X
client displays its output.
An X terminal is a piece of specialized hardware. Do not confuse an
X terminal with 'xterm', an X client that emulates a DEC VT102
ASCII terminal, and a Tektronix 4014 line graphics terminal.
You can get an X terminal from www.ncd.com, among other vendors.
I don't know what an 'rxvt terminal' is. I suspect you are referring
to a program called 'rxvt', another X client that emulates a DEC
ASCII terminal, in this case a VT102. It has fewer features than xterm.
You can expect to see xterm and rxvt displaying on an X terminal,
possibly multiple times.

Why would you even want to? I mean really....what would be the point...
it would crash far to often to be useable.

Copy the script to floppy. Insert the floppy into you Linux machine,
and, if the ending of the file is .zip, say
mcopy "a:\filename.zip" .
unzip filename.zip
If you don't have the mtools, you have to mount the floppy:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
cp /mnt/filename.zip .
unzip filename.zip

I read in the BogoMips howtwo that the count should be around 53 for a
pentium 133... so there seems to be something wrong indeed.
Any suggestions?

Well, Netscape 4.5 does, so why should IE 5 be any
different?

Hi, i was wondering if anyone out there knows of (and/or could recommend) a

save the labels as PS files (which would be ideal for printing out on other

When I use the default printer defs stc.upp, stc_l.upp and stc_h.upp, I
get very good results. But I went to define the default printer 'lp' to
print only grey. So I used all the parameters in stc_l.upp except
I changed '-dupColorModel=/DeviceGray' . It now DOES print Grayscale but
in reverse video !!! The lighter areas print darker ( for e.g. the
background) and vice-cersa. Can anyone enlighten me how to correct this
?

The RedHat manual isn't worth $50. After you have loaded your first
system you are done with it. Forever. At least the SuSE manual is good
enough you will use it as a reference. When upgrading there is nothing
to be lost by getting a $2 CD.
5 cents a page to print??? A ream of paper is about $3 or $4. A
laserjet cartridge lasts a couple years.

There's no such thing as a WYSIWIG web page/HTML editor, but if you're
looking for a visual HTML editor, there's Amaya (which can also be used as
a Web browser if you're very, very patient) which can provide you with
several simultaneous views of your document, including a graphically
rendered view, a text-based rendering, a table of contents and a structural
outline. Unfortunately, the last version I tried was very slow and more
than a little prone to dying. Probably you could get Netscape Navigator
Gold v. 3 still if you did some digging around. I think some others have
been mentioned, but if I were to use a visual HTML editor, I'd be inclined
to go with Amaya.
