There are funny people who remove libc from their system with RPM and
then wonder why they can't install their package with the newer
version because RPM fails to load libc.so...
Those people then happen to go on-line under Windows and blame Linux
on advoacy groups. That's akin to riding your bike to the Vauxhall

Vectra and it doesn't work anymore... :)

Hi
I have just started with Linux and would like to transfer some of my
Office 97 applications to Linux and would be interested in any
opinions as to the best Office software to use. At the moment I use
Access 97 with Excel linked to it for analysing and graphing the data.
I have installed SO but of course none of my VBA code will work so I
haven't had chance to play with it too much yet, and I don't want to
spend too much time on it if Applix Office is a better package.

But you can do that even more simply in YaST...

When he's talking about HTML, WYSIWYG might be the case, but WYSIW (everyone
else) G is totally different.
HTML is a markup language designed to be viewable by anyone, not just the
people who use the same browser the editor was optimised for.

Ahhh, but how can such an editor be truly WYSIWYG when different browsers
render the resulting HTML differently....
(A lot of these so-called HTML editors produce proprietory code or stupid
things like fixed sized fonts or stupidly designed tables)

I think there is not software to do that.
If you have full access to the machine that is outside the firewall and
you have another port opened you can write a gateway program and run it
in the outside box.

And, I wonder how many Wintel users know of this? Why should I have to
use the shift key to add one line to my file menu (I tried it, and
thanks)? It should be there normally, just in case I want to open a
file with an editor that normally opens with it's own program. I
shouldn't need to press shift.

Or even the linked lists of sectors used in the normal Amiga file system
(I could loose the bitmap, Amiga's equivalent of DOS/Windows' FAT
tables, and still recover all my files intact, even if the disk is
fragmented. I don't know if newer file systems like PFS have that
protection built in.) [<digression of my own> I once had to rebuild the
FAT tables on a computer I had by hand because a subdirectory I
discovered I needed had all it's FAT table entries zeroed when I used a
certain DOS menuing program to delete it's parent directory, thinking it
was empty. Of 24 files, 19 were contiguous, all were .zip files, thus
the remaining 5 were unrecoverable, since there was no way to determine
what was in the next sector of the file at the end of the contiguous
area. </digression of my own>]

Well, some times I am using Find File or Folder, and want to open files
in the resulting list without writing down their location and attempting
to find them once the program loads. Note that, on the Amiga setup I
described, I don't have a choice of programs, either, but at least it
knows the difference between a .dat file which should load Amiga Frotz,
and a .dat file which should load a database program. On the other
hand, I can always use the pulldown menus to open a file with anything I
want.

Perhaps, but for some people I know, it would be a hopeless endeavor.
Some people don't know enough to make sure the thing is plugged in
before they attempt to turn it on, or turned off and unplugged before
they tinker with the innards. Also, I find that, though it is
interesting to buy used cards to put in my computer and look for setup
information on the internet, not everyone has the time or patience to do
so, or decifer the cryptic answers one sometimes finds. Hey, let's face
it, some people have trouble building a block house out of Legos(TM).

On some X Servers (SVGA for example) runnint at 24bpp Netscape
displays mono buttons and stuff. Switching to 8, 16, or 32bpp
may get the colors back.
WordPerfect has an even worse problem: at 24bpp with the SVGA

The accellerated servers (Mach64 for example) don't seem to
have this problem.

Subject: Help - sound card stops working - requires reboot
Date: 08 Sep 1999 11:16:27 PDT
I am having an intermittent problem (4th time in two months now) with the
sound on my RedHat 6.0 linux box. I'll be playing some mp3 files using
either the mpg123 or xaudio command-line players. Then the sound will stop
for some reason. I restart the players but each seems to hang and never
starts playing. If I try and use another program such as X11amp I get the
same problem. Even if I try and directly cat a raw audio file to the sound
device it just hangs.
So.. I tried shutting down the sound system "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound stop"
and restarting it. That didn't seem to help. I looked at the modules
loaded into my kernel:
>Module Size Used by
>smbfs 26232 2 (autoclean)
>tulip 26208 1 (autoclean)
>es1370 20796 0
>soundcore 2372 4 [es1370]
>aic7xxx 106928 4
I removed the es1370 and soundcore modules and reloaded them. That didn't
seem to help. I removed them again and let them automatically reload on
use. No change. BTW, I checked the mixer levels after each change and they
were always fine. The only that works is rebooting the machine.
I have no idea really what is going on. My only guess would be something
Samba-related since the last time this happened I was in the middle of a big
copy off of a Samba-served filesystem. Just a guess though - not sure why
they would at all be related. It seems like for some reason the
sound-hardware itself gets "stuck" - is there some way to forcibly reset the
sound card at the hardware level? (excuse me if this is a stupid question)
Another problem I seem to have with my sound is that from time to time the
permissions will be reset on /dev/audio, /dev/dsp, etc.. to "644" - even
after I've set them to "666". This is not as big a deal - and I suspect
that it is completely unrelated but I figured I'll throw out any clues.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can tackle this problem? Tips
on diagnostic tools to use after the problem occurs would be appreciated as
well.
Here is my system info:
400 MHZ PII
RedHat 6.0 (stock install - no kernel mods)
SoundBlaster 128
LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 LNE100TX
Onboard SCSI (Adaptec 2940U2W) (2 hard drives on it)
Adaptec SCSI 2930 (1 external hard drive)
2 EIDE drives
2 drives are mounted remotely via smbfs
Any help is appreciated. Please cc me at yohamed AT concentric DOT net.

Enter the kernel config again and under 'SCSI support' there is an
option called "Probe all LUN's on SCSI devices". (That's from memory, so
I'm paraphrasing, but it's called something similar). You've probably
got that turned on, so turn if off, recompile the kernel and try again.
It sounds like it's /nearly/ working.

For most of the PII and P!!! chips you're likely to find.
The PII-Xeon, P!!!-Xeon, PII-Overdrive, and PPro processors, however,
have their L2 cache on the same die as the CPU core. This lets the L2
cache run at the CPU core's full speed, improving performance. It also
makes the processors substatntially more expensive.
The Celerons with cache (300A and anything faster) also have their 128K
of L2 cache on the same die with the CPU core. This is why a Celeron
and a PII at the same clock speed perform very similarly - the faster
cache almost entirely makes up for its smaller size.

Everytime I have seen this problem, it has been an authentication
problem with the remote (host) system.
Verify the authentication type and setup kppp appropriately. If it is
PAP, you will need to make sure the pap-secrets file is built
correctly. If it is CHAP, make sure the chap-secrets file is built
correctly. If its neither you will need to use a script. The best way
to figure this out is to use what someone else already mentioned -
minicom.
If its MSCHAP80, you can do that to, but may need some mods to your
pppd. Search for MSCHAP in alt.os.linux.caldera. I posted a long
detailed article about getting this to work several months ago.
If none of the above help, the article I posted (as described above)
also tells you how to debug the ppp session to find out exactly what is
failing.

I'm install Linux with win95 but on two different prtition. with a boot
disk, or if you have two phisical HDD you may create a switch that change
the Primary master with primary slave (you can open the jumper on the
back of the HDD) and changing in the BIOS the setup of HDD DETECTIN you
obtain two O.S.
Goob Look!

a zillion other formats.
