Win95 thinks it knows what you want better than you. It says "now that
I'm here, you don't need any of those other operating systems" and thus
takes over the boot sector of your computer.
You will not have to re-install linux, but you will have to re-install
lilo. Use a linux boot disk to load linux, then run /sbin/lilo. If
everything is configured correctly that should fix the problem. If not,
do a complete re-install of lilo.
Note, when you use your boot disk you will have to make sure your root
partition is mounted as root. Not sure about this, but I think the
command is root=/dev/(your root drive) when the boot disk stops and asks
for any parameters.

Standards? Hah! Microsoft never made anything "standard". Real

That seems rather extreme! Why not just look for "localhost" in /etc/hosts?
Not that I've had any luck with that. If the news server is looking for a
specific domain name that it recognizes, maybe I need to find out what that
would be from the server administrators (as I say in my initial post, neither
"home" nor "nick.home.oz.net" work, even though oz.net is my ISP's domain name
and news.oz.net is its news server). However, no other newsreader I've used
has had this problem, so I am not sure what is really going on here.

Glint is pretty bare minimal. GnoRPM is much better.
But I still like the power of the command line, because
I can use the shell as well.
But none of these offer REAL package tool functionality.
A REAL package tool would do what we end up doing when the
package tool screws up - use ldd and nm to figure out if the
right library versions are installed. It would be slower, but
when it failed you could be told exactly which symbol was
missing and where it was supposed to be found. That would
be a useful package manager.
RPM will only look in one place for a library it is
supposed to find - the RPM database. Nevermind that I
compiled it by hand instead of downloading the package.
Even then, it can find the right file name (let's say
/lib/libc.so.6) and not bother to check the glibc
version, which is a SURE killer.

Arena doesn't offer bare functionality. I'd vote Mozilla in
but not netscape. That would definitely speed its
development up a bit. Lynx IS the GNU text browser, and
all versions of linux use the GNU tools.

Note that jwz resigned from AOL this week... See:
<http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/nomo.html>
This doesn't read like an April Fool's prank, and I would certainly
say that if he's gone, and for the reasons he cites, that Mozilla
development is in *real* serious trouble.
It's been a year, and there hasn't been a Mozilla release based on the
"Open Source" code release. (Sure, there's been M3; I ran it for 15
minutes, watched visuals drawn wrong slowly, and then put it down.)
*That's no prank.*

This comes up every so often. From the BootPrompt-HOWTO:
3.2.4. The `ramdisk_size=' Argument
While it is true that the ramdisk grows dynamically as required, there
is an upper bound on its size so that it doesn't consume all available
RAM and leave you in a mess. The default is 4096 (i.e. 4MB) which
should be large enough for most needs. You can override the default to
a bigger or smaller size with this boot argument.
Please see the file linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt for a complete
description of the new boot time arguments, and how to use them. A
description of how this parameter can be set and stored in the kernel
image via `rdev' is also described.

Subject: KDE removal and ldconfig
Date: 3 Apr 1999 16:32:39 GMT
I installed KDE to play with it yesterday, and also wanted to try GNOME. I
installed KDE under the default directory, but using a symlink from /opt/kde to
/usr/local/kde I removed .Xclients from my directory and restored my old
.xinitrc. I then installed the GNOME RPMs, and recompiled WindowMaker with
--enable-gnome (I also removed the .20 rpm, even though I had already installed
.50). I installed WindowMaker in the default location (/usr/local/).
now the problem.
When I run ldconfig, I get the error "can't open /usr/local/lib/opt/kde/lib (no
such file or directory), skipping" and when I try to start windowmaker, it says
it has an error loading shared libraries, that it can't find libwraster.
can anyone help?
thanks much

Well, Redhat probably has a gui config thing to take care of that, but
adding "Emulate3Buttons" to the "Pointer" section of /etc/XF86Config (or
whatever the script is called in RH) will do just that.
I can't resist...
In vi, open XF86Config, hit / then type "Pointer", hit return and bingo,
the section you're looking for. For those readers disenchanted by the
complexity of this vi routine, shutdown -r now, boot to dos98, open
Word, pulldown menus until you find search, type in Pointer, edit, save
as ascii text, accept Word's warning that this might lose the special
formatting that Word would like to give it. Oh, almost forgot, you'll need
to move the file to someplace dos98 can find it first. Reboot.

Actually, this demonstrates the real problem: widespread assumptions that
certain things can't be done when in fact they can be done quite easily.
My guess is that because these things aren't done in the _same_ way as they
are done in Windows, many people assume that they can't be done at all. If
there's one notion that Linux advocates need to hammer home it's that if
you want to do something, chances are very good that Linux (or X in this
case) can do it, but it might do it differently than how you're used to, so
you may need to do some looking around to find out how.

It sounds like you've compiled it such that gs doesn't know where its
