For the K6-3, not really. The integer performance is slightly better
than the Pentium, and with the -3 AMD has finally boosted the floating
point and MMX performance to be on a par with the Intels. I'm running
a K6-3/400 on my system with no problems and good performance.
Note that this is comparing the K6-3 to the Pentium. The PII and PIII
are faster than the K6, but the new K7 ( Athlon ) matches their performance.

It doesn't seem like much. The motherboard I use has 1 megabyte of L2
cache on it. I wouldn't settle for less than 512K.

Try upgrading gnome-core and gnoe-libs. Some problems have
been fixed in the upgrades. You can find the upgrades on one of the
RedHat mirror sites or at www.gnome.edu

Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 21:45:48 -0400
i'm using the debian distribution of linux. i decided to update to the
most recent "unstable" release today , using apt-get to do this. but a
very large problem ended up developing. after finishing the download of
all the new packages (one of which was an update to bash) it began the
setup process. it very kindly removed my old version of bash, and unpacked
a replacement, unfortunately it had some sort of problem in the config and
exited. well, obviously this leaves me in a bit of a pickle, without a
working version of bash i can't install a working version. i tried
downloading the source but of course i can't generate the makefile without
bash to run the configure shell script. anybody have any suggestions? or
could someone possibly send me a Makefile for bash 2.03? i've got a pretty
standard system so i could probably use someone else's makefile. thanks in
advance!

For WYSIWYG, try Netscape Composer that come with the standard Netscape. I use
asWebit, it is not WYSIWYG, but I prefer it that way, you get more features.

asWebit is HTML4 and frame compatible.

I've had similar problems with netscape, and so have a lot other users.
The best solution is to upgrade to nertscape 4.6, if you're not using it
already.

That's not what the source distribution says (it's free, but you require

Does anyone know if hotmole 1.0 still works with Microsoft's Hotmail?
I know that Microsoft has made some security enhancements over the past
month or two and the version of hotmole I have is from April. At any rate
... I can't seem to get hotmole working. (see below) And the author's

Any leads?

This is true for CAV disk drives, but not CLV drives. See:

There are still CLV drives to be had.

Hmm, time to translate my table of Z80 opcodes to the web? I set them
out in octal so that they were easier to remember. For example, the
registers lined up neatly in octal:
0: b; 1: c; 2: d; 3: e; 4: h; 5: l; 6: (hl); 7: a
Figuring out MOV opcodes is a piece of cake....

try to boot with the new kernel (from floppy disc with bzImage on it)after
running "make dep" and "make clean".How should i know if the driver is
loaded or not.(with (*) for Y and not as "M" for modules it should be a
part of the new kernel right?)Anyway when i try to set up an ethernet
device eth0 from usernet (i am sure i do it the right way)it does'nt get to
