I think our respective definitions of "capable" (and perhaps also of

UUCP :)
You'll mainly be using uucico for sending / receiving batches
from / to your host system(s). Be aware, though, that UUCP is only a
transport method. It can't replace a running newsserver/mailserver;
it just delivers the incoming/outgoing batches .
>In other words, which programs allow reading mail and news via UUCP
None. You need to find a host system that collects news and mail
for you (usually via some sort of robot for defining what newsgroups
to be spooling for your system) , and puts the resulting compressed
batches into a spool directory. Your system then would be dialing into
the host system and send/receive the stuff.
Your main problem won't be installing / configuring UUCP ; it's pretty
tough to find an ISP offering UUCP feeds these days (which is a pitty,
given the fact that it's the cheapest way to exchange news [if you
have to pay for local calls]) .
>and writing mail and news for sending via UUCP?
smail , sendmail , qmail (with a hack, AFAIK) .

As others have said, read the FAQ
However, /proc/kcore is a phantom file that is mapped by the kernel
directly to your memory. The more memory the kernel uses, the larger
kcore will grow. If you dump /proc/kcore, you are dumping kernel
memory.
The file doesn't physically exist on harddisk, so it's not taking up
harddisk space. Don't try to move, rename, or delete it, be cautious
when you read it, and (unless you know exactly what you are doing),
don't ever write to it.

I agree with this in the sense RMS meant it, but I would have phrased
it very differently (because as phrased, it's wrong).

which doesn't make sense to me either. Perhaps it is simply poor
English, using the expression "they made a modification" instead of the
simpler "they modified".
Still, this is what was said.

Fortunately, the GPL only affects distributing software. So if you
don't distribute memory images, you're OK. RMS seems to have a
slightly different view of this, though, and it may be we disagree on
this point.

Aah! A technical question. This I can answer.
The short answer is that it varies :-). Usually, there is a portion of
the library which is data and changeable, and each process gets a copy
of this (because it is changed and ends up different for each
process). There's also a part which is not changed, which is usually
shared between all processes, and which is much larger.
But in some operating systems (not Linux) it's possible to have a
library for which there is really only one copy for the whole system.
It would be pretty easy to add this to Linux if people found it useful.

You are thus using a motherboard with the TX chipset. This particular

The maximum is 64 MB ; while the board will accept more RAM, it will
not be able to cache it.

Use, yes. Cache, no. Use the RAM > 64 MB as a RAMdisk, otherwise
your system's overall speed will drop down drastically due to the
fact that the RAM gets used top-down (i.e., your kernel will reside
in the uncached area) .

of the Networking Release 2 software the Regents have breached

It's a DNS lookup problem.

Subject: Problems with Zip drive under RedHat Linux 5.2
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 15:43:12 +0200
Hi there,
I just installed Linux, RedHat version 5.2 on my laptop and
connected an Iomega parallel Zip drive to it. For whatever reason, the
Zip drive is not detected during the boot process:
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
When trying to load the modular support for the drive, I'm getting the
following messages:
$ modprobe ppa
/lib/modules/preferred/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Or
$ insmod /lib/modules/preferred/scsi/ppa.o
/lib/modules/preferred/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
or
$ insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/scsi/ppa.0
/lib/modules/preferred/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
(of course, since 'preferred' is just a symbolic link to '2.0.36-0.7').
Anyway, I wouldn't know why the device should be busy, but I have no
idea
how to check this. the command 'lsmod' gives the follwing result:
$ lsmod
pcnet_cs 2 1
8390 2 [pcnet_cs] 0
ds 2 [pcnet_cs] 2
i82365 5 2
pcmcia_core 9 [pcnet_cs ds i82365] 0
nls_iso8859_1 1 1 (autoclean)
nls_cp437 1 1 (autoclean)
vfat 4 1 (autoclean)
cs4232 1 0
uart401 2 [cs4232] 0
ad1848 4 [cs4232] 0
sound 15 [cs4232 uart401 ad1848] 0
soundcore 1 [sound] 5
soundlow 1 [sound] 0
Any idea what's going on? BTW, the Zip drive works just fine under
Win95
on this laptop, so I doubt that there is some hardware problem.
Well, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot,
Bernhard

Well, in linux I can use bg and fg to move processes from
the background to the foreground and vice-versa. In OS/2 I
can run a text-mode shell like TSHELL to select between
running processes, bringing one to the foreground and
putting another in the background. Assuming you have an NT
system set up with CMD.EXE as the shell, how do you start a
process and then move it to the background to do something
else? And assuming that much is possible, can you later
bring it back to the foreground again while leaving your
other processes running?

You changed the IP address of the system but need to update the support files
????
look at /etc/hosts and make sure that it has your machine-name and proper IP
address.
You should also check /etc/resolv.conf as well and confirm that the resolver
can function
as advertised.

IMHO, afio's compression scheme sucks in that it spawns gzip as a separate
process for each and every file. It was a noticible slowdown. While it is
nice to have as an option to spawn a compression program for flexibility, you
do pay in performance by doing it that way. It would be better to build in the
default compression program. There is also the additional slowdown if you have
large files that compress to be larger thant 2 meg by default), in that it runs
the compression program twice (once to size the result, and once to actually
compress it).
Also by using the old cpio format by default, you lose if you have more than
64k hardlinks on a filesystem (think of backing up a news partition for
instance). It would be nice if afio also could grok the newer cpio file
formats (gnu's CRC in particular).

Make sure you have SCSI support in the kernel. I know it sounds strange,

:> Hi,
:>
:> I need to get libstdc++.so.2.9, because a program that I recently
:> downloaded won't run without. I downloaded libstdc++.2.90.3 from
:> ftp.cygnus.com, but I couldn't get it to compile: ./configure
:> runs OK, but during 'make', I get the following error:
:>
:> >-------SNIP-------<
:> ../bits/std_iosfwd.h:49: sorry, not implemented: namespace
:> make[2]: *** [complex.lo] Error 1
:> make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
:> make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
:> >-------SNIP-------<
:>
:> I'm running Slackware 3.6 with gcc 2.8.1. Does anone know how I can
:> get libstdc++ 2.9?
i saw precompiled libstdc++.so.2.9 in KDE distribution tree
(for Slackware 3.5)
:> TIA,
:> Juergen
regards
Paul
