There's actually nothing "illegal" about a space in a filename. Ill-

This is going to generate "foo.jpg and foo.jpg are identical" error

I just throw them away.

There's probably a better way to do this, but it does work.

Not sure what you mean by some of this , but anyway...

1. AFAIK, if the gui mode is used during install it does stick, but I
always choose the text install and have not tried to install from DOS.
Maybe install from DOS is affecting it's setup selections.

2. switchdesk is not a console utility, X must already be running to use
it. After you make your selection just logout and restart X, no reason
to reboot.

3. Yes mc is a great app, like LIST was for DOS years ago. mount your CD
and use the rpm command to install the mc rpm file.

4. Sorry, never seen this. Where in gnome does it tell you to install
linux ?

5. They have no serial numbers, it probably has an offcial RH label on
it but it's no diferent than one you downloaded and burned to a CD
yourself.

Subject: hooking a login to an event?
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 03:47:19 GMT

hello!


what would be the proper approach if i would
like to make the computer somehow make me
aware (eg beep the speaker) when someone logs
in (via tcp)?

i looked in /etc/inetd.conf. when someone telnets
in it starts "/usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd".
then i looked at that manpage for in.telnetd
and noticed the -L swich:

"-L loginprg  This option may be used to specify
    a different login program. By default,
    /bin/login is used."

so i was thinking; could i perhaps make inetd start
a (python)script that i specify in inetd.conf,
which would blow the wisle and then in turn start
"/usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd"?

is that a sound solution?
if yes, what mode should the script have? 755?
anything else i should think about?

if not... then how should i do it?

i have considered the idea of having a bashscript
running in the bg, and grepping the w/who output
every so or so seconds.
but that feels like a very clumsy solution.
i want something that reacts on the login itself.


  thanks in advance / alex k


ps. its a slackware7.1 system. its basically just
a desktop system, so it would be fun to notice
when (IF) someone logs in.

Subject: Customizing Completion in Bash
Date: 13 Sep 2000 21:27:19 -0600

Hi,

   I don't like the way bash completes things for me and I want to
change it.  I went through the info and man pages but I still couldn't
figure it out.

   Here's how my completion works now: Let's use filename completion
as an example and let's assume I have the files `foo.bar.1',
`foo.bar.2', `foo.bar.3', and `foo.bar.4' in the working directory,
along with a bunch of other files that do not begin with `foo'.  Now,
when I type `ls foo<TAB>' at the command prompt, the shell prints out
a list of all possible file completions (so, four file names in this
case), and then the command prompt has `ls foo.bar.' and waits for me
to finish.  I want to change this behaviour but I don't know how.

   I want completion to work the way my emacs completion works.
Here's what I mean: After I type `ls foo<TAB>' I don't want the shell
to print out all possible completions.  Instead, I just want the shell
to expand the command to `ls foo.bar.' and wait for further input.
Then, if I hit <TAB> once more, *then* I want to be presented with all
possible completions.  See what I mean?  I want completion to expand
without presenting all possibilities whenever it can unambiguously do
so, and to present possibilities only when it can't unambiguously
complete on its own.

Thanks for any help,

-JK

hmm, why would i need the -L swich if i put my
script in the telnet-line directly in inetd.conf.
sorry, got a bit confused there (too many xterms
and manpages open).

i would simply make the line look like this:
"telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/myscript.py"

...or?
is that a "valid" solution?

Well, I devised a solution to my own problem though im not quite sure
why it works.  Apparently, things work a little smoother if icewm is
started before gnome midknight commander(gmc).  You can do this by
setting the order in which gnome starts xclients by useing the
session-properties utility.  That might solve your problem too.

You're not limited to either one, you can install both ( if you have
enough room ). with both installed you can run kde apps under gnome and
gnome under kde.

Thank you thank you thank you!

It works just fine, had to change print to echo, but I would have never gotten

Tired of the blue screens are you?  Depends on your HW/SW configuration and
what you want to do with Linux.
Read all the distros installation minimum requirements, enclosed apps and
supported Hw.  Lurk here and note which distros have the most questions
about whatever like, install problems, connectivity, dual boot.  I've
favored RH for price, ease of use, scability and reliability plus it
supports i386 boxes.

Hi,

I have a hard disk divided to WIN98 and Linux.
The Linux part used to work but now is not working.
So I am trying to install RedHat 6.2 to it.
The following message shows up:  (and I can not continue install)
A error occurred reading the partition table for the block device hda. The
error was: Partition table corrupt.

I only have one hard disk (6GB).  System Commander is installed. Win98 is
ok.
Can I use win98 to reformat the corrupt disk then install RedHat 6.2?

Can you point me some direction?

Thanks,

pcmcia is a completely seperate package from the kernel, building the
kernel will not build pcmcia. If you upgrade to a new kernel you will
have to rebuild/install pcmcia. Have a look at the howto for pcmcia, and
you can get the source for it from the pcmcia site.
