Hi, just wondering what people are using for cataloging their cards...
I have had a
bad experience in the past. Any that work with Linux?

After installing RH 6.0 and the defaults for Gnone/Enlightenment
I find one of the screensavers will lock up the machine and not
allow me to log back in. Is this a known problem? I don't know
the name of the saver but it looks kind of like a moire pattern
that has been quantized into 1/4 inch blocks.
I can go thru and remove lots of screensavers until I find it
by hit and miss but thought I'd ask here for better ideas.

Sure, Linux is Open Source.
But, Linux has nothing to do with stdio.h
If you want to see stdio.h, check out the Free Software Foundation's
FTP site, and download the GLIBC sources (which includes stdio.h)
Oh, BTW, loose the chip on your sholder. It's interfering with your
vision. ;-)

This is kinda vague... Like, what is your hardware? What sort of
installation -- server, workstation, custom -- did you attempt? What
problems did you have? What is the relationship between your subject

I have a /usr/lib/pgsql. No /usr/local/pgsql. I am on RH 5.2.
The file I have in that directory looks like this:
[user@ravel pgsql]$ cat pg_hba.conf

It's just the : that's required.
man procmailex
You don't have to specify the lockfile, procmail uses a file with
the name of the output file with a .lock extension.
excerpt from the man page:
97 Add the headers of all messages that didn't come from the
98 postmaster to your private header collection (for statis-
99 tics or mail debugging); and use the lockfile
100 `headc.lock'. In order to make sure the lockfile is not
101 removed until the pipe has finished, you have to specify
102 option `w'; otherwise the lockfile would be removed as
103 soon as the pipe has accepted the mail.

I was recently given several ethernet cards. These cards are marked NE-12CT
and have a UMC UM9003F NIC controller on them. What, if any, driver would I
have to use to get these cards to work with Linux? I thought that they might
be NE2000 clones but if so, the kernel won't detect them automatically.
Please reply by e-mail as well as posting. I don't get a chance to read

Hi,
I'm using SuSE 6.0, netscape 4.5 came with it. Everything runs
fine until
I was browsing a web site, and suddenly all data transfer stopped and
netscape frozen

And, amusingly enough, SGI -really- wants it to go to Linux and really
doesn't want it going to their competition.... which makes it an ideal
candidate for GPL'ing. :)
SGI hasn't decided on the exact terms of the license yet, though.
IMHO, they'll get a zillion coolness points by using the GPL instead of
making up yet-another-license, and it will be a LOT easier to add to
Linux if it's GPL'd.

Apart from the books that come with 6.0 (either paper or online in /usr/doc)
there are not many books up-to-date enough to cover the newer interfaces
(However, I have seen one of the "Teach Yourself Foo in 30 seconds" books on
KDE.)
www.gnome.org and www.kde.org or probably the best places for info on those

Most of the differences are in the kernel and the GUI interface, but most of
the config files are in the same place, and the shell interface is the same.

Andrea,
It could be a compatibility problem, have you tried compiling on the
older machine?
Also, by chance is "." in your path on the machine where your program
works? If it is, on the other machine try running your program like:
./test.execute
Also, be sure it's marked as executable:
chmod +x test.execute

If you only have two computers, don't spring for a hub. Just get an
ethernet crossover cable. I use one and it works fine. It's just an
ethernet cable with each wire pair reversed.

Lots of switch boxes at http://blackbox.com/catalog/index.htm; I use one
to share a monitor between two Macs.

Hi,
I'm having the same sort of problems with my RedHat5.2 system.
When I 'make linux' I get...
The LINUX rules are untested and may be wrong
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/utils/satan-1.1.1'
cd src/misc; make "LIBS=" "XFLAGS=-I/usr/utils/satan-1.1.1/include
-DAUTH_GID_T=int" "RPCGEN=rpcgen"
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/utils/satan-1.1.1/src/misc'
rpcgen rex.x 2>/dev/null
cc -O -I. -I/usr/utils/satan-1.1.1/include -DAUTH_GID_T=int -c rex.c -o
rex.o
rex.c:33: rex.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [rex.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/utils/satan-1.1.1/src/misc'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/utils/satan-1.1.1'
make: *** [linux] Error 2
rex.h is in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rex.h
I'm using glibc-devel-2.0.7-29 on standard RH5.2
Any ideas ?
I shall try Saint but if I could get an answer for this I would very much
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Neil
