Hi! (newbie calling)
When I run any configure scripts (but particularly
sawfish 0.27.2) I get the following error:
"checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type;
you must specify one"
and then the script stops running. Can someone please explain why it is
doing this and how I can fix it? Thanks

Subject: Which Files For Which package / Hardware on Linux??
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 20:30:04 GMT
I am in the process of Building up a Linux Based system using REDHAT
6.22...going through most of the various Software Downloads I am
confronted by install packages for my particular platform...my question of
confussion arrises from this though....which package should I download and
TRY (optimistic as always) for example the GNOME 1.2 for Redhat had to
seperate folders..both abouth the same size however one was made up of
files in this format extace-1.2.1-1.src.rpm and the other was made up of
files in this format extace-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm So which package do I need??
For information the system is a PII400 overclocked to 450 running 2 IDE
Ultra 66 HD's 128 meg SDRAM HP 9300i CDRW Pioneer 40x CDROM Creative Labs
PCI64 soundcard and Creative Labs Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT 16meg and a
LUCENT PCI LT WINMODEM (Iknow there are drivers out there for the
modem..found them already) my other modem is unsupported at this stage
(NETCOM Roadster II 56K V90 USB)
Anyway back to my problem.....anyone care to shed some light....because
downloading 150 meg worth of package on a dial up to find out it is
worthless is no fun

Symbolic link is a feature of Unix filesystems.
Fat doesn't support it.

The arguement of costs is not important at all.
At least for any real businesses.
You see. Business software is part of the business expenses, so, they're
tax deductable.
The money has got to go, either to the software companies, or to the tax
collectors.
So. Tell me where's the *real* saving!!!???

It only matters to the free beer drunken college geeks who zero real

If you've got a RedHat boot floppy, you can use the floppy to boot to your linux
partition, and once you've logged in you can just type "lilo" and it will re-write
it. It's worked for me when I've needed to do it.
Hope this helps.

this has to be one of the all time greatest signatures. well, at
least, seen since 1991. it's all there -- the computer quotes, the
jab at geek codes, the fun psuedo unix shell notations.
i have to especially point out the song spoof at the end. thanks for
the reminder. i'll be whistling along to my sound of music LP.
the only thing lacking, if you will permit the impertinence of my
suggestion, is a large ascii art. you seemt to be a man of refinment
and taste, therefore i heartily recommend the classic two-handed sword
motif.

I've NEVER said communist China is great.

Money. Money. Dude!
Money talks. Bull shit walks.
People (communist or capitalist) will flocks to where opportunity is,
and try to get whatever they can make out of it. Especially with a
potentially HUGH market like China has.
If you can make just one dollar from everybody in China for just one
day... Need I say more on how lucrative the reward would be!? ;-)
It's basic econ-101.
But do you know what communism is?
Let me tell you:With communism - YOUR MONEY IS MY MONEY. AND MY MONEY IS
MY MONEY. AND YOU'RE JUST A SLAVE TO ME. YOU'RE LUCKY THAT I GIVE YOU A
PIECE OF BREAD TO EAT EVERYDAY. NOW. GET BACK TO WORK.
Now go read some history, political science and economic literature.
Reading geek's news, worshipping RMS while drinking free beer won't get
you any where in the real world.

Oh Boy!

thread... Woo Wee! :P
I've created a MONSTER thread here. :-0
Oil has been the major income for Indonesia for ages.
According to my friends in Indonesia (native people, not "foreigner.").
The situation is more complex than what you've described here.
First. There's the racial issue. The native people in Indonesia have
been ruled by "foreigners" for a long time. If you look at the flag of
Indonesia, you can see that actually is the Dutch's flag with one of the
colour removed.
Then, after the Dutch colonialism rule. Came Suharto - an Indonesian of
Chinese descendent, from a VERY rich family came to power. Also. The
native people in most parts of Indonesia, like Java, are of a different
race/tribe of people; and they have been waring between each other
through out history. Just like the Scotts were fighting the English, or
the waring between different tribes of the Vikings in the old days.
Then, the natives in E. Timor got tired of being ruled by "outsider.",
and tired of the Chinese-Indosians controlling much of the economy. They
rebelled.
Then, the military got involved once the mass murdeering of
Chinese-Indonesian had begun... and the rest is history. I don't want to
waste bandwidth to repeat the whole saga here.
As far as the weapon goes. If the U.S., U.K. didn't sell the Indonesian
military the weapon. I'm sure France and Brazil, or Cz would surely
happy to fill the orders. It's not a moral issue to the weapon trade.
It's just another business contract.
They didn't get into the weapon business for the sake of humanity.
Would you!? ;-)
