That would probably work, there just are a few problems about the
end of the file. The filesize must be a multiple of 2048, and there
might be problems reading the last sectors of the disk.
(I think there are more problems with TAO than DAO)
So you would take a .tar or a .tgz file, append an appropriate
number of zero bytes, and then send that to the cd-writer.
Using a .tgz file and pad with at least 100KB of zeros would
absolutely work.

My problem now is linking the compiled code. It seems that the linker can't
find the library libsocket.
How do I get it?

Is there any presentation software under Linux that would
work nicely with Latex? I'm interested in something that would
have a 'full screen' option to be used with a projector. As I said,
I'd like something that would take ps or pdf. Something like
Adobe Exchange would be nice. I know that acroread has a full
screen viewing capability, but I cannot insert animations and stuff
like that. Any thoughts?

The Solaris libsocket library is not available on GNU/Linux systems in
general since its functionality is included in libc. Try simply to
remove the -lsocket linker option. If it does not work, come back and
tell us exactly the names of the routines that you're trying to use in
libsocket.

'./' is not a command by itself, it's the path to a file in the
current directory.
Let's say you have an executable file called 'a.out' in the current
directory. To execute it you say './a.out' which means "run the file
called 'a.out' in this directory".
If you could please tell us what file "a file" is (script, binary
executable etc., use the 'file' command on it), if it is indeed
executable or not (use 'ls -l' on it) and if it lives in the current
directory, we would be very happy.

so a disk fails every 5 years or so. big deal. anyhow, it's easy to
simply reinstall the whole system area. and with decent backups, it's
easy to get it up and running again. i flush my system about once a

No way!
The syslog daemon will keep a file descriptor open for the moved file.
As a result, syslogd will write to your moved file as if you had never
moved it, and your new file will just sit there, accumulating dust.
If you insist on scripting it this way, this is the traditional way
to do it:
cp logfile logfile.save
cat /dev/null > logfile
As I said before, there are already scripts designed for this
purpose (logrotate, savelog), use them instead. :-)
Best Wishes!

It's unclear what you're asking about.
If you want to sit at a Linux computer and use it to control programs
that are running on a Windows computer, check out VNC
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html). This lets you do
precisely that. You'll need a VNC server for Windows and a VNC client
for Linux.
If you want to sit at a Windows computer and use it to control programs
that are running on a Linux computer, VNC (server for Linux and client
for Windows) or an X server for Windows will let you do it (you don't
need any special Linux software).

- fire up an xterm

- set MOZILLA_HOME to the directory where netscape is installed
- netscape &
See if it works that way, if it does adjust your initialization
files approporiately, if not, sorry.

The only app I know of that uses it apart from NFS
(which you almost certainly *don't* need)
is the SGI inode monitor, imon.
And the only app I know of that uses *that* is efm, the
Enlightenment file manager.
Which is only available via CVs at present.
So no; if in doubt:
