Thanks Dances old chap,
So to overcome the problem of everchanging local IP addresses,
it
seems the best way is to lodge a domain name at a nameserver. I have
a
domain name that I actually bought a month ago -
http://www.easternbranch.com. In theory, if I give this to my ISP and
ask
them to add this to their nameserver and give me a fixed IP address,
I
would be remotely contactable (whilst up at the local end)?

Subject: linux windows dual boot setup with newer bigger faster hard drive
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:46:28 GMT
From: "Matt Hughes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To change which drive is recognized as master, just set the jumpers
on
your drives. Usually, drives will have a jumper which can be set to
slave,
master, or cable select. Set the small drive to slave, the big drive
to
master, and the bios will sort it out. You'll have to copy your
windows to
the new drive, I would normally do this in Linux, using Slackware
bootdisks, cfdisking the new drive, mounting both the old and the
new, and
doing a "cp -R /mnt/old/* /mnt/new", but not everyone might be
comfortable
with that. You could try using Norton Ghost or something. Once you
get
your Windows copied and bootintg ok, then just stick the Caldera CD
in and
let 'er boot. The Caldera installer will let you pick which drive and
partition to install to; it isn't a problem. You'll have to install
LILO
on the MBR of the master to be able to boot into both Windows and
Linux,
since Linux will be on a second drive. If they were both on the same
drive, you could just install LILO in the Linux paritions boot
sector, and
make that the bootable partition. If for what ever reason LILO screws
up,
you can always remove it by having a Win95 boot disk with fdisk on
it,
booting off of that and running "fdisk /mbr" to restor the windows
boot
sector. Once you do that, the only way to get Linux going will be
with a
boot disk.
Check www.linuxdoc.org for more information about running Windows and
Linux together.

I am trying to run make on gnuvoice-1.0.1
and I get the following message
GtkView.C: In method 'GtkView::GtkView(classs GtkModel *)';

It sounds like I ran out of memory, if so how do I fix it. My swap

All ideas are greatly appreciated

In this case yes, I do not normally use a killfile. However this
poster was such a blatant troll ( and therefore a bad troll ), that
I saw no harm in ignoring that rubish. The trolls you can't ignore
are the ones who post incorrect information in an attempt to deceive
newbies. Ya gotta watch out for them. But this guy may have well

The effect would have been the same, *plonk*.

...it has been distributed with GNOME in the past. However, the
new 'defacto standard' WM for GNOME is sawfish. Although, any
WM should do.
For example: I run the gnome panel in WindowMaker and only use
it occasionally. Sometimes I will use kfm or gmc but I usually
just use my filemangler of choice: dfm.
I also use other K or G apps as I find them useful.

The current version, to my knowledge is 4.2.0. The reason I am
pointing this out now, is because there has been many a flame over

It's a 'block' driver, not a SCSI and yes you can. Works fine.

Only if you have modules and most of us do. Should be obvious; they
build
the modules and move them the /lib/modules.

You have to build the ramdisk file you referred to. The easiest way
is to
just build the DAC block device into the kernel so you don't need
(and should
not use) the initrd= parameter.
I suggest that you learn more about building a kernel before you try
it. Also,
always keep a spair kernel (/etc/lilo.conf) so if your new one craps,
you can
recover.

Linux can run in 1 Meg... There are a number of single floppy

for example.
It'll be a very limited setup though, and you'd probably want 8 megs
of
swap...

Yep. More than likely, they'll want you to pay extra for both the
nameserver listing and the static IP, but them's the breaks. As I
said
before, you could try running BIND on your machine (read the DNS and
BIND
HOWTO first!) but I don't know how much good that would do if your
