Netscape 4.61 for Linux might have these features. However, for
a simple text-based html editor, I'd recommend elvis (vi clone).
You can toggle between html view mode and edit mode by pressing
^w d (control w d)
to toggle back and forth between these two modes.

My first guess would be a mechanical fault in either the cable (more likely)
or the card's connector. Sounds like the act of unplugging and replugging
the connection creates enough vibration to re-establish the connection.
If this is consistently happening only at one PC, this is almost certainly
your problem. My first effort would be to replace the RJ-45 connector at
that end, or replace the entire cable. Which is easiest depends on how much
wire-pulling is involved. Faster and cheaper to replace the whole cable if
the machines are in the same room, but easier to replace the plug the more
rooms the two computers are apart.
If that doesn't work, my second guess would be a mechanical fault (bad
solder joint, bent RJ-45 connector pins, etc.) in the NIC itself. You might
also try re-seating the card, but we're getting into remote likelihoods at
this point.

Theyre still around, just not doing distos anymore I think.
It's a pity cause there's heaps of nostalgia value for me in my Fall1993
Yggdrassil 0.99.13 kernel, with its user manual, ram based, cd based or
hdd based install.
In 93 it booted up flawlessly, the only problem was me, (clueless);-)
Hey Yggdrassil, how about it?????
I'll buy your latest disto, If you produce one :)))
Kind Regards

It may be time to back up your personal files and re-install Linux.
Updating in situ from libc5 to libc6 (glibc) is a non-trivial
exercise, requiring scrupulous attention to well-informed
directions, e.g.
http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/Glibc2-HOWTO.html

Hi, Robert,
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. The distribution I was
installing was
Mandrake 6.0. I got all the major bits working (sound, X, modem,
Internet
connection) no bother. But this problem with the Backspace key not
working
was driving me nuts. I was going to uninstall it.
However, I finally resolved the problem as follows:
. Copy the file: /usr/doc/AnotherLevel-0.9/Sample.Xmodmap
to /etc/X11/xinit and rename it to: .Xmodmap
. Restart X
I hope tthis may help somebody else.
Cheers
John.

I need help tracking down a script kiddy bitch who has been sending me
majordomo subscription notices. The messages used to come from
ms.e-lists.com.cn but I sent to POSTMASTER and it seemed to block that
rout. Now they are comming from e-lists.lawton.com.cn which I also
just sent to the POSTMASTER on THAT host. Obviously this is going to
continue until the idiot gets bored or e-list enhances their security
...at which point I am sure they will find another way but maybe it
will slow it down for a while.
I would really like to track this asshole down though so I can take a
more formal type of action against this....like contacting their ISP
about it. Unfortunately I am not sure how to go about this...not
enough info seems to be in the header of the message, though I did see
some interesting parts:
Received: (from majordom@localhost)

The rest is just travel.
They are doing it the same way as before, only to a different server.
The messages come in two types:
1)

and 2)

Notice the zw-xy1 in the gibberish...looked at it in a hex editor but
it doesn't seem to mean anything that I can see. The subject is
always:
Majordomo 的返回结果
I have asked the POSTMASTER to tell me if they find out who it is, I
am sure they would like to know since it is their network being abused
as well....but if there are any things I can do to find this person I
would like to know what they are so I can. Right now it is a minor
neucance...but I can see it becoming a major issue in the future.

you dont have a problem to start with,
except you are trusting xosview...
if you look at the output of "free" you see more data.
corona:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 63156 61108 2048 27480 9280 16892
-/+ buffers: 34936 28220
Swap: 66540 4320 62220
the -/+ buffers line is the data you are wanting.
See, the mem: line includes the buffers and cache as used,
but the -/+ buffers line treats them as being "free".
(that means you subtract the buffer/cache usage from the used column
and add it to the free column .. -/+ )
when you get used to the output of "free", you will be able to
interpret the output of xosview better ...

Bill -
I don't (alas) have a fix. In the early Slackware days
I was able to build a kernel without any particular
problems.
No longer. I'd like to see some reference tables that
said something like this for people like me:
"If you're planning on running 'make menuconfig' you'll
have to have xx.x, yy.y and maybe even zz.z installed."
Until then, we'll probably have to scan the config files
to see what they're expecting to find in the way of
utilities.

Bounce doesn't work with my system either - it requires indexed color
mode.
If I comment-out the three glIndexi() calls and the three glutSetColor()
and change GLUT_INDEX to GLUT_RGB in the glutInitDisplayMode() call, it
compiles and runs in B&W.
The gears demo works nicely though. I've been tinkering around with
that one.
I've got Mesa 3.1 on my system - I don't remember where I d'loaded it,
but you might try:
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html
I haven't tried the java3d, but the class you're missing should be in a
.jar file that you probably need to d'load from java.sun.com
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/java3d-regis.html
Find the .jar file and put it in your $CLASSPATH.

Did you add the user family to your smbpasswd file? Also - I've found SWAT
really good for administering Samba. Edit your inetd.conf file so that the
swat service, right at the bottom, isn't commented out. Then from your
Windows 98 PC you should be able to browse to the IP address:901, eg.
http://10.0.0.2:901, and do your Samba administration from there.

Frankly, I've never understood why someone who knows nothing about
Unix would want to use Linux. It's one thing if they *want* to learn
or are looking for a cheap way to brush-up on development skills, but
if you actually like the MS way of doing things you will be sorely
disappointed with Unix or Linux. Just my opinion, but I'll slip my
asbestos gloves on anyway.

That's not necessarily the case, Rich. One of the nice things about a
Linux or any other Unix system relates to the basic assumption that the
system architecture supports a multiuser environment, not as a hack like in
Windows, but from the getgo. In such a case, the person who administers
the system may need to know the goodies, but the naive user need only know
how to login and enter her or his password to do exactly the same types of
things she or he does under Windows, but in a much more (potentially)
reliable framework. I say potentially here because much of the reliability
from the naive user's POV depends on the skill of the admin. Case in
point, my girlfriend can log into Linux and do the same types of things she
does under Windows, but she has no idea what the advantages are of Linux...

Manut's english isnt to good, true, but does that mean he should refrain
from using english ?? Your native tongue is, de facto, the lingua franca of
the internet, and thats precisely the reason you cant go around telling
people not to use it (or at least try to use it). If you cant be bothered,
thats fine, just dont answer.

Subject: NIC stops responding
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 22:47:20 GMT
I'm having a problem on 2 Linux machines where the NIC seems to just
stop responding. What's bizzare is the fix: unplug the cable from the
hub, then plug it back in. Before unplugging the cable, the link light
on the hub is out. Plugging the cable back in, the link light comes
back on, and traffic flows through the NIC again. Both NICs are 3Com
3C905 Boomerangs. Any ideas?
