This is, simply, not true. It's a result of using various meanings of
"freedom" as if they meant the same thing. E.g., my "freedom from being
hit" restricts your "freedom to hit people" - but one of these isn't much
of a freedom. ;-)

This is a nice simple model, but turns out to be completely wrong.

First, I referred to "the files," not "files." That is, I was referring
to the WordPerfect files in particular. Corel provides a series of links
to these files from their web site, in such a way that it's clear they
expect users to download them with a web browser.
Second, I'm perfectly aware that many, perhaps most, file download links
(including the links to the WordPerfect files) are links to ftp sites.
I *STRONGLY* disagree with your elitism concerning "every serious
computer user," however. Claiming that a person should use some
alternate, more difficult method to accomplish the task or be relegated
to the category of a "non-serious user" is counter-productive, in my
opinion. I prefer to post a solution. Further, I doubt the VERACITY of
your claim that "every serious computer user" uses ftp clients exclusively
to download files that are linked to from web sites. While I do so
occasionally, for instance, I certainly don't do so exclusively.

So it's the user's problem that *COREL* posted a .tar.gz file under a .GZ
extension alone? It's the user's problem that *NETSCAPE* ungzips files
without changing their extensions? Sure, it'd be nice if everybody knew
everything about how computers work, but that's not the way of the world,
and it never can be -- computers are just too complex for that. IMHO,
it's the RESPONSIBILITY of those who write the software to write it in an
intelligible way, and to follow standards when posting it.
(I don't intend to post to this thread again, as I fear it's degenerating
into something unhelpful.)

Subject: Help changing video driver
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 13:34:59 GMT
As you can tell I am very new to Linux. I originally had a 2MB S3 video
card in my Linux machine. I have up graded it to a 4MB S3 video card.
How do I change the driver? Currently, I am difficulty exiting X
Windows and my boss thought it might be due to the new video card. When
Linux starts up, no problem, all the words seem fine. If I go to X
Windows everything is still fine, even in XTerm. But once I exit from X
Windows, all the words on the screen are "garbled" up. The letters are
out of order but linux is still working fine. If I type telnet or
startx, those respective programs run fine. If I use telnet it will
work however the words are still garbled. If I return to X Windows then
evrything is fine, even in XTerm, until I exit again. So the only way
for me to work in a true linux environment without X Windows, is when I
first start up. I apoligize for the length of this message and will
truely appreciate any advise on my problem, be it a video driver or not.
Thanks,
Mike B.

I assume that rxvt is emulating a DEC VT100.
Please keep in mind that the numeric keypad in a DEC terminal has 2
different modes: numeric and application. The application mode
generates specified Escape sequences (and seems to be the default);
the numeric mode makes digits. Your Linux machine's terminfo entry
(for whatever terminal type you have specified) must have a "reset"
sequence that sets numeric mode.
This sort of thing is discussed in the "DEC keyboards" and "using
terminals with Unix" links from
http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal_index.html
The O'Reilly book "termcap and terminfo" (by John Strang, Linda Mui,
and Tim O'Reilly, 0-937175-22-6) discusses these concepts in depth.

Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 11:39:46 -0500
Hello all, Has anyone seen this before?
I have a RedHat system (started with RH5.1 and upgraded kernel to 2.2.9)
that I am trying to get sound to work on. I have a generic sound card
with the Yamaha OPL3/Sax chip. I set it up using isapnp and it works
when I install the modules sound, mpu401, ad1848, and opl3sax
(forgive me if I don't have the last two module names exactly right).
Anyway, it seems to work, but the system tends to lock up tight as a
drum
after a while if I install the modules and start playing sounds. I have
never
had a locking up problem before. My system is a AMD K6/266 in a Soyo
motherboard with Symbios 53C875 Ultra Scsi and Ultra-wide hard drives.
S3 graphics, RT8139 10/100 ethernet card. Everything worked great until
I added sound. Has anyone else noticed this?

What window manager are you using?
If it's KDE, go
K-->Utilities-->MenuEditor
Maximize your window and you'll see your menu and sub-menus.
Right-click on one, click New and then fill the textboxex as you want !
That's all. If it's not KDE, re-send your question. Surely someone will

Subject: Redhat6.0 + DEC tulip network card - can't get it to configure in :-(
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 14:41:50 GMT
I am a newbie to linux but have been using SCO UNIX for a number of
years.
I have a Pentium clone with an Accton 1207D-TX card (based on the DEC
tulip I understand). Caldera OL2.2 autodetects the card fine but
Redhat6.0 won't look at it. I let the o/s install (minus the
networking) and hoped to be able to configure it in later.
I have run 'netconf' and filled in the details of the card
(type=tulip, IRG=10, Base I/O=0xD000) but after several re-boots eth0
still won't come up - 'dmesg' doesn't mention 'eth0' at all and the
boot screen says it loads 'lo' but fails on 'eth0'.
I have even tried LILO (linux ether=10,0xd000,0,0,eth0) without
success. :-(
Am I doing anything wrong here? Do I have to do a kernel re-build
after running netconf? :-\
TIA

Subject: Building a Virtual Comport
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 14:08:39 GMT
Hi,
I am suppose to build an application that perform
a lot of statistics about a PPP connexion ! For
this purpose, I would be able to talk to the modem
via AT commands during the ppp connexion.
According to me, a great solution would be to
create a virtual com port, with which pppd will
talk instead of the real one. A program would
redirect all data recieved on the virtual com to
the real one, until the moment I want to talk to
my modem. Then we enable CTS to tell pppd to
resend later data and we stop redirecting data to
the real port ! We can now send +++, and AT
commands to the modem ! After this, we would
return in online data mode, redirect again the
data and disable CTS !
Does anybody know if there is already such an
application ? Does anybody find good this idea,
think it's possible, and can giving me advises to
build this application ? Does anybody have an
other (better or not) solution ?
Thanks !
Jim

No. There is, even in the new versions of the kernel. I don't know the
drivers created but if I remember well you can find mouse and keyboard

Nope ... you can disable IDE CDROM support only (not HDD support) and use

0.91 mostly works, but the Linux computer has a weird problem

DEC 21140 based card is used): it cannot talk to a Sun
SPARCstation 5, but it can talk to a Sun Ultra 5 or BSD PCs

Hi,
Thanks for you reply.
I have all the above items configured right as a matter of fact and I'm
sure that it's not netscape directly responsible for the hang. It might
have
triggered it, though.
I mean a *complete* lockup. No response to keyboard, mouse, net
connection,
etc. It even doesn't response to ping.
Come to think of it, I don't think I had this kind of lockups before I
added
a second NIC. Beginning to suspect tulip driver.... or my cheap PNIC
cards...
Thanks.
