One of the benefits of using a system like Linux is that you can usually
get software is packaged format as well as in a vanilla tarball.
There is nothing that requires you to use glint. Use rpm at the command
prompt instead - or xrpm if you *must* have a GUI.

Since kernel 2.2.0 was released today I would assume that it is time
to change. RedHat claims that it is ready for the new kernel but I
would differ with that. It is closer than 5.1 but not ready for
2.2.0 as they claim. I had to install several packages to be up to
date. The sound doesn't work if I compile into a module. I think
it screws up while trying to load modules. I get a device busy
message, just like if I had restored the old garbage setup generated by
the sound configuration program. This is with a ESS1869 (not ESS1868)
I think we should expect a new version shortly or those folks
at RedHat are really becoming a mainstream OS, meaning much
like Microsoft.

and even though cars have gotten more complex and easier to use,,have they truely

and to refrence your statment,,about sparkplugs and such,,is;nt it amazing that a
majority of drivers today don't know how to pump their own gas? or check their own
oil? (of course to be fair,,most people also don;t know how to drive either :) but
that is a subject for another NG :- ) ) things that you do not have to be a mechanic
to know,,but you should know f you are going to own a car,,instead things have gotten
so "easy" that people rely on the little lights on their dash to tell them if
something is wrong,,and most of the time igmore them till something major
happens,,when if tney had a little knowledge in the first place mabye this wold have
not happened in the first place . The same goes for Windows/vs Linux as it gets
easier and easier,,we know less ans less,,and we do not know what to do when somthing
goes wring,,
as I have mentioned in a previous post,,,my problem is not really with Windows itself,
but rather with the licencing practices of the company that sells it,,I have a big
problem with a company that charges as much as it does for what it is giving
you,,,win98 is basically win95 with IE4 and a few doodads thrown in for good measure
and a few bugfixes... it should have been released as an "service pack" not as it's
own OS,,,,and not at the price they are selling it for,,(over $150 if you buy the full
version, $90 for the"upgrade",,,like I said,,,why the descrepency?)and the NT "client
access licences" as I have said,,,if you want to add more users to the network, after
you have already paid for the OS,you have to pay more??? for what,,the os does nothing
special the more users that are on it???so why pay more to use what you have bought .
it's akin to saying "I just bought this brand spaking new car,,and i can use it all I
want unless I want to go over 40mph then I have to send the manufactuar more
money,,why?"
ok I've babbeled enough for one night ;)
and I agree,,linux is never going to be the "desktop" operating system of choice,,but
for servers,,I'd like to see it grow! :)

Hi:
I am trying to install octave on a machine (binary tarball),
and when I try to run it, it is looking for libf2c.so (I have
found another tar ball with this), and (I think) libf2c.sa
What the heck is a .sa file? I have never seen a mention of
it before, and every place which seems to have info on libf2c
doesn't mention it.
Baring that, how do you install octave on a Slackware
(3.1 I think, 2.0.29 was the kernel) install?

what is "worse" about that? X's behaviour doesn't even have the notion
of "copying" : you select with a button, and drop with another. it could
hardly be easier, simpler or more practical.
when, after learning X's way, I first encountered a GUI that made me
specifically copy the selected text, I wondered what on earth the point
was. and I still do, for that matter.

I am a rather newbie at Linux and am attempting to access Gnome CVS from my
business network. Unfortunately, I can only access the internet through a
proxy server. The server has the ability to listen on any port number for any
protocol, but I cannot seem to get the cvs program to go through the proxy.
If there is anyone out there who can help me solve this little problem, I
would be elated at the offer of information.
One more little niggly bit . . . When I attempt to use Netscape to access an
ftp site over port 21, Netscape gives me the error that the port has been
disabled due to security reasons. How can I get this back? Also, relating to
cvs, how do I force all command line network applications to use the proxy?
Thank you . ..

According to http://www.mostang.com/sane/man/sane-mustek.5.html , your
parallel port scanner isn't supported by SANE-mustek.
SANE supports mainly SCSI scanners, yet another reason to go SCSI!
I visited the SANE website before I purchased my scanner, because I like

Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 01:15:46 GMT
(Thank You in advance for any suggestions....)
OK, so I'm getting a slew of wierd errors that I think are somewhat
related:
1.) utmp and wtmp files messed up (finger produces : no one is logged in)
2.) all new files (including the said utmp and wtmp) files are
created with tomorrow's day, and the amount of time since I logged in.
So, for instance, if today were 12/29/98, and I log on and
touch abc.txt
After I ls -al, I see abc.txt 30 Dec 00:09
3.) nfs daemon rpc.mountd disappeared. I had to reinstall the RPM.
4.) Windows 98 networking soesn't work with Samba (This may be unrelated).
Win98 connects to Win95 and NT, Samaba connects to win95 and winnt, but
98/Samba don't mix. Either way: net use x: myhost\\service fails,
as does smbclient '\\98mach\\c' -U username
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank You.
Please mail me a response.
or something. I have two machines with the same problem. Both have been up
for over 35 days, but a reboot didn't help. They both, at one time, were
cold stopped and started, but no major fsck errors. But they worked then.

I'd love to spend all my time writing free software. Are you offering
to support me and my family while I do it, suggesting that I should
live in a cardboard box, or suggesting that I should be content to
spend just a few hours a week writing software that I care about while
wasting the rest of my time making a living?
You seem to think that I am some sort of Bill Gates Junior. NOT. I
am just a guy who is addicted to writing interesting code, who has to
pay bills along the way.
I am going to make a new posting in a few minutes that may interest
you, or may not. Feel free to slam or flame me. The subject of the
post will be "help me choose license". Do or don't. -steve

Of course I could use the command prompt instead. But what if I like
