I don't think that's the question. I think the OP was referring
to how to set the alias at login. Please Correct if I'm wrong.
If the shell is bash, and it's a login shell, the the .bash_profile
file gets sourced. If it's a non-login shell, then .bashrc gets
sourced. If the shell is tcsh or csh, then the login should
be either .login, .tcshrc, or .cshrc, but I'm not a csh user. Read
the friendly man page to be certain.

Hello folks,
as laptops get more widespread and laptop-to-overhead projectors cheaper
more and more people use their laptop at meetings to present things.
I an trying to do the same and I have few questions. First is there anyway
to persuade acroread to display landscape pages? Alternatively is there a
PDF viewer (like ghostview?) that will allow for full-screen viewing of a
PDF?
Another question: PS files, incorporating coloured graphs by gnuplot,
converted with ghostscript (ps2pdf), seem to render ok with acroread,
except the graph colours are messed up. Viewing the same file with
Ghostscript (as a PDF) produces the same colours as the PS. Is there any
solution? Who is the bad guy?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
George

Presumably. It's the out of the box kernel shipped with red hat 6.2. Once
booted, the DAT drive works fine. I assume that the kernel booted from the
CD under "linux rescue" is the same as the one installed??

I most certainly was not! I loved Mandrake! That's why I hated the fact that
the design was crappy! Everything else is good! I never said the system
sucked. I said the design sucked. Linux Mandrake is the best Linux I ever
tried. BTW, I did say I was willing to redo them.

I wasn't writing off the system based on the splash screen. I just said it
sucked. Mandrake is still happily humming away in my computer so I certainly
haven't dumped it...

The average Linux user is a different kind of person from the average

The community, including companies such as Red Hat and MandrakeSoft,
have been developing the software for some years now and some of it is
free and some of it isn't. As long as there are computers, and people
interested in learning how they work, I can't see this changing anytime
soon.

They're not really environments: X11 is a windowing system, KDE and
GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment, so GNOME not Gnome) are
GUI desktop metaphors that run on top of X. Once X is up and running
you can run any KDE, GNOME or X apps as long as the relevant libraries

Unless there is some bad memory, which causes the kernel to become
confused (trashed pointers or something).
Is the memory the right sort?
Proper number of wait states, refresh timing, etc. Some of these things
can be *slightly* off and the system will run, for awhile and then boom,
it crashes.
Also: it could be thermal -- a marginal cooling program can leave things
like the ram & processor to *slowly* warm up until something goes out of
spec...

Your swap partition is not listed by df. Look in /etc/fstab -- it will

You need more Virtual Memory. Even better more physical RAM, if you
can get it (this is a 72pin EDO RAM type motherboard, right? -- this
type of RAM is probably becoming hard to get).
You can increase your swap space on-the-fly:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/moreswap bs=1024K count=128
mkswap /home/moreswap
swapon /home/moreswap
This will bump up your swap space by 128Meg. You'll need to edit
/etc/fstab to make this swap space show up the next time you reboot.

I'll be looking into that. You're right, though: It's very tempting to
try to apply DOS and/or Netware thinking to *nix environment.
Interestingly, in trying to learn Linux, I've come to see a lot of
Netware's *nix roots, which, of course, increases the temptation to
apply one to the other.
Thanks again for the explanation.

Spare harddrive? Heck with that; if you have *any* spare space on the
root partition, you can get more swap space. Like so: (must be done as root,
natch.)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=64
sync
sync
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
Add /swapfile to /etc/fstab to enable the extra swap space at boot time.

This is a FAQ. Shell scripts *CANNOT* be SUID under Linux. There are
too many security problems. Use "sudo" instead if you can, or put a
wrapper around your script:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{ setuid(0); system("/path/to/script"); return 0; }

Postgres, yes. PostgreSQL, no. PostgreSQL was a new project with
Postgres95 as a starting point. Postgres95 was an attempt to put an
SQL front-end on Postgres. AFAIK, most all of the Postgres code was
jettisoned early on for performance reasons. That makes PostgreSQL
roughly five years old, code-wise.
I still have a Postgres95 tree in CVS before the PostgreSQL fork to
prove it, too! ;)

I would run Slackware 7.1. Its pretty fast for a newer distribution.
Is doesn't have hardly any bloat which is nice. Other than that there
is Redhat 6.2 which is pretty stable but definately slower than
Slackware.

You might try alias ls="ls --color=tty"
so that it does not dink up script/command files.

Subject: using paride/backpack module & getting unresolved symbol: kmalloc, etc
Date: 30 Nov 2000 02:05:34 GMT
So I recently got a free (used) Backpack cd-rewriter which I would
like to use on my fairly standard -- I've made no changes to the
kernel -- RedHat 6.0 box.
This thing is a parallel port device, and I did some searches
and found <http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html> with a
fair amount of good info. From there I learned that the maker
has a linux kernel module for this, for 2.2.5-15.
<http://www.micro-solutions.com/software_library/linux/>
So I got it and put the file in my modules directory and
'insmod'ed parport, paride, and backpack, then tried to do
a 'depmod -a' but got an 'unresolved symbols' error. Next
I did a 'depmod -a -e' to see what the problem was:
: root; uname -a
Linux queasy 2.2.5-15 #1 Mon Apr 19 23:00:46 EDT 1999 i686 unknown
: root; depmod -a -e
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/misc/backpack.o: unresolved symbol(s)
kmalloc
kfree
printk
__const_udelay
Can't find 'kmalloc'? That's really basic. I do have a System.map
in place (/boot/System.map -> /boot/System.map-2.2.5-15) and
my System.map does have all those symbols in it, so it makes
me think something weird is wrong.
Anyone use this module successfully? Tips? Tricks? Inside info
on the horse races?
