I do not understand why you think that companies should not be forced
to disclose to *you* the information they hold *about you*. Unless
you have given explicit permission to them to do otherwise.

I believe that is *the* question, And the answer is that the rights of
the individual should be held in greater consideration than the rights
of the corporation (company, entreprise).

This is one of the pillars of all the "privacy protection" laws passed
in Europe and in the US. Europe laws are usually better than the US
ones (I don't know whether a federal law has been passed yet), but
they are not perfect.

I just installed Redhat Linux 6.0 server and rebooted my system. I am at
the X Windows login but don't know what to enter as a login name and
password. The Installtion never asked me to make a user name. However, it
did ask me to set a "Root" password. Can anyone help me log on now that

Subject: Re: Newbie having problems mounting floppy
Date: Sun, 06 Jun 1999 21:46:05 -0400
you can mount either ext2 (Linux) or vfat (Windows) floppies:
first you need to create (or make sure there is) a mount point which is
simply a directory in /mnt... mkdir /mnt/<whatever>
I used /mnt/floppy for ext2 and /mnt/msflop for vfat (any name will do)
If the directory already exists then go ahead and ;
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/msflop (for Windows disk)
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/msflop (for Linux disk formatted disk)
if that works then do the following as super user (root - you also need to be
logged in as root to do the mount commands for now.)
FIRST back up fstab "cp /etc/fstab /etc/<backupfilename> (avoid using
fstab.bak for now)
in case you have a problem with the editor...
vi /etc/fstab
vi starts in command mode move to a new line and type 'a' to go into
edit mode: type on that line
/dev/fd0 /mnt/msflop vfat noauto,user 0 0
and on another line:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,user 0 0
this assumes that you have/or have created the /mnt/floppy and /mnt/msflop
directories.
to save the file, hit the [esc] key and type a colon ':' and a 'w' to write
the file.
then a colon ':' and a
'q' to quit...
This lengthy explanation is what I would have liked to have a year ago when I
was
slightly more clueless about Linux than I am today.. Hope this helps.

Red Hat 5.2 does not include HPFS in their default kernel. You will need
to recompile after configuring to include HPFS support. Be aware,
however, that the HPFS support in Linux is READ ONLY. So to go both
ways, you'll need either a FAT partition or to install Ext2 drivers in
your OS/2 (I have a common FAT partition, as I also share with DOS and
NT, so I can't speak on the Ext2 drivers available for OS/2).

On my system it occasionally does. That is, it doesn't actually
bring down Linux itself, but it locks X. Since I don't have any
other terminals on this system, and X is ignoring the keyboard and
mouse, I have to use the reset button to get control back.
"Occasionally" means about once per six months.

Very good points, although I'm a HUGE *NIX fan... There are several ICQ
clients for *NIX, which I hear are pretty good, athough I think that
they're still missing a few of the features of the new client. I'd
really like to see somebody port AIM to *NIX, since that's the best 2
person chat client that I've found, and it does really well with
firewalls since it uses almost only UDP, from what I've seen.

You log in as the "root" user. Then put use whatever password
you chose during installation. (I remember that confused me for
a minute, too, and I had even used Unix for a few years before
getting Linux).
After you login initially, you're *supposed* to create another
user to use, say called lamart or whatever. That user will then
have less permissions and hence less probability of messing up
your files and stuff. I'm kinda bad about it, though, and always
login as root because it's annoying 'su'ing to root all the time
(but OTOH, it's *supposedly* safer).

There are many ways to completely get rid of Redhat 6.0 (but why? ;). The
one I would go with is to boot with an MS-DOS or Win 9x boot disk, run fdisk
to repartition the hard drive into FAT partitions, then run fdisk -mbr to
rewrite the master boot record with the standard MS-DOS boot record. Then
you can reinstall Win 9x or MS-DOS or whatever from there. A good shortcut
would be a utility like Partition Magic.

Look in your redhat cd (Redhat/RPMS/i386). It should all be in there.
libguile will probably in a package call guile... or libguile..
If I remember correctly, gnome also need umb-scheme and xscreensave,
which should also be on the cd.

On linux, to make a small program, (let's just do a hello world program,)
the first thing you would do is make a file hello.c using whatever text
editor you prefer:
#include <stdio.h>
int main () {printf ("Hello World!\n");}
Once that's done, you compile it with the command gcc hello.c. The result
will be a file called a.out (or you can do gcc -o hello hello.c to name
the executable "hello" instead.) Once that's done, all you have to do is
type "./a.out" at the shell prompt to execute your program.

Sounds like netscape is doing a segmentation fault (but at least on Linux, the
only thing that dies is the misbehaving program, unlike other operating systems
we all love to hate.) The way to confirm that is to run netscape from within
an xterm, the next time netscape dies, it may spit an error out in your xterm
such as "Segmentation Fault" or "Bus Error." These kinds of problems are
tricky to fix. Some suggestions: Upgrade to Netscape 4.6 - it seems pretty
stable on my system. Also you might want to try upgrading glibc - some of the
earlier glibcs have bad interactions with Netscape. (though upgrading glibc is
a pretty hairy operation, you may break other things by upgrading the
library.) One thing to note if you upgrade Netscape, there are two versions of
Netscape on the web site - the "official" Linux version uses the old libc 5
libraries, there is also an "unsupported" glibc2 version of Netscape that you
might have better luck with.
