xv, which should be in your distribution, will capture the whole screen or
you can capture frames or you can mark with the mouse cursor what you wish
to capture. It works well and you can save in a variety of formats.

Also, try insmod'ing the binfmt-aout.o module. A recent kernel change
make the kernel request the modules using a different magic number from
what it used to be.
You can check the syslog if you have any failed request to load any
binfmt-xxxx module.

Aha! So you can. Typing in "emacsclient %f" does indeed work. I wonder why these
aren't the default choices. On my setup, none of the default choices from the
drop down list box work.

I also downloaded the rpm of gnuserver, but when I tried to install it in warned
me of conflicts with the installed Xemacs. I don't actually use Xemacs, but I
didn't force the install just to be on the safe side. Did you find that this was
perfectly harmless? (Does Xemacs still work out of interest, just in case I ever
decide to change over?)

Did you set the Default Editor to "gnuclient" or to "gnuclient %f"?

I'd really recommend upgrading to 1.2. There's a big difference in usability.

Was there a way to set all the text/x-* mime types at once from the Control
Centre, or did you edit one of the .gnome config files to achieve that, or did
you jest set each mime-type individually?
Thanks for the help,
Darren

Or wait a few weeks till the mandrake 7.1 release is out. They have

I have to jump in, because I haven't seen anyone else mention this. I
don't claim to be an expert on the distinctions mentioned.
A nice part of Linux distributions are the GNU tools -- in fact, these
are most of what give you your unix "flavor". Linux itself, strictly
speaking, is a kernel. Or so I'm told. You may or may not be aware
that GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix". Thus, to refer to Linux (or your
favourite distro) as "Unix" would be incorrect and actually a little
insulting to the GNU folks. Worth keeping in mind.

Subject: patch & diff
Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2000 14:35:15 GMT
Hi all.
I've been trying to work out how I can use patch and diff to keep two
directories synchronised but failing miserably.
Can someone please tell me how to perform the following "simple" task?
Say I have a directory /usr/local/src/Master containing lots of text
and binary files.
I do:
cp -R /usr/local/src/Master /usr/local/src/Slave
Now I make some changes in /usr/local/src/Master and I
want /usr/local/src/Slave to reflect them.
I tried:
diff -rP /usr/local/src/Master >/usr/local/src/patch4Slave
This works fine... (...i.e. it produces a reasonably looking patch file)
Now I try:
patch -p1 -f -d /usr/local/src/Slave < /usr/local/src/patch4Slave
...it didn't work.
How do I now apply patch4Slave to the Slave?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kostis

It works OK with slrnpull. HOWEVER, I wouldn't recommend ordinary pico
for newsreading, as it has a habit of splitting lines at its line
buffer size (255 chars, IIRC).
I'd suggest using jpico instead (a mode of joe). That also gets you the
ability to reflow quotes just by using CTRL-J, without disrupting the
quote markers.
Put in your .slrnrc file:
set editor_command "jpico -nobackups -wordwrap -rmargin 72 +%d %s"
