If you've already installed it 'X -version' will tell you. If not,
you should check the ftp servers.

Subject: Problems uninstalling gtk+
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 07:46:51 +0200
Hi!
How do I uninstall an old gtk+ (non RPM) version of gtk so that I can
install a new one? I. e. how do I totally remove gtk+ and install the newer
version? I already have the new version, installing it doesn't help as I
have a depending application (xmms) that keeps on detecting the old version
(1.2) in the ./configure step and then refuses to finish so I can make it,
even though I have the new version of gtk+ (1.3) installed.
Thanks!

[ snip post, again ]
Sorry for the second reply, but I have looked through the Perl
script that is a supposed 'Trojan'. It is not a Trojan Horse, it
looked like familiar bad code, and it was. It is a 3 line RSA
encryption program written in Perl. It is also broken and pretty
much about the worst code I have ever seen (that is taking into
account the fact that it is obfuscated as well). In other words,
there is no reason to fear that Perl snippet, and you have just
wasted a tremendous amount of bandwidth.

I'm using this modem right now under Linux. It's a standard external modem.
It requires no special drivers. I've heard rumors of external winmodems,
but this ain't one of them. The tech support person gave you the wrong

Yeeaahh... it could happen, but in practice it doesn't. I've had no trouble
installing and running Redhat or Suse rpms on my Mandrake system. There are
probably a few Caldera ones in there, too.

If a file transfer was done (using ftp or kermit or whatever) in "ascii"
or "text" (i.e., not "binary") mode, the issue is probably not with a
stripped high-order bit, but rather with NL==>CR/NL conversions,... every
linefeed (new line) was converted to a carriage-return/newline pair. If
you try to transfer back the other way it'll undo all the ones it
converted originally, but unfortunately it'll also undo any legitimate
CR/NL pairs that were SUPPOSED to be there, so I think you're out of
luck!
But go ahead and try it anyway, i.e., transferring it BACK to the
originating system in text mode just for fun, maybe you'll be lucky.

I don't know what you mean by this sentence. A partition is a

I tried this, but the copied /usr on my new larger disk seems to be missing
files. When I try to run programs like Midnight Commander, they don't work
any more. I went back to /etc/fstab and restored the mount for my original
/usr partition, and everything went back to normal. Could the cp -a command
be the wrong one for copying everything? Thanks.

What I'm getting at is that bit in the boot sequence where it lists
the partition table for each ide device it finds. I don't think that
code sequence gets repeated. The only chance you'd get to run it would
be when every single partition on that disk was dismounted, and fdisk
or someone issued a pleading ioctl to the kernel. I think that fdisk
does do that, but that the ioctl is almost always errored - I can't
recall ever geting anything but a warning "partition table might not
have been read ..." or something like that from fdisk. I'm happy
to hear that there are circumstances in which it works!

Unix::Sysadmin is a Perl OO framework for Unix system administration.
It does some of what NIS does, and some of what NIS doesn't. It's
cross-platform between FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris. It uses a secure
transport based on ssh,
The code is being hosted on SourceForge,NET. There's a web page
at http://perlunixsysadm.sourceforge.net and a project page at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlunixsysadm. You can check out
the current working sources with anonymous CVS over the Internet
like so:
cvs \
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/perluni
xsysadm login
cvs \
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/perluni
xsysadm co Unix
(Darn deja's line wrapping anyway!)
I'm eager to get feedback on the design, style and structure of what
I have so far. If you have access to currently unsupported platforms,
I'd love to accept patches for other OSen. Heck, I'd be grateful for any
help offered, but lurking is just fine too. 8)

what about connecting the new HD temporarily as secondary

installing. Also possiblethen: taring your root/boot-partitions and
untaring to the new partitions. After changing HDs --> liloconf.
