Thanks for the tip, but I recently got hold of the good old Martin
Whittaker port for OS/9, Solaris and now Linux.
Compiled up first go and runs perfectly. All I need now is the time to
get the function keys defined in termcap....
I've got the official Win and DOS versions. Both they and the MW port
work perfectly and identically off the same set of .cmd pages.

Oui, mais si vous employez emacs,
Anyhow, yes (after you hit Escape to get out of insert or append
mode). But for emacs, you may want to do Control-S and Control-X
instead.

I never found afio, but I never looked very hard. Apparently, Red Hat
do not distribute it. But my DDS-2 tape drive does hardware
compression automatically, so I do not need afio for that.

I tried that once and found it very unreliable: freeze ups, etc.
Perhaps even worse, the green gun of the monitor died soon after
being attached to the switch. Maybe coincidence, but I thought
the abrupt switching between very disparate video modes might be
responsible.
I eventually just ethernetted them together, and that works
just fine. I can telnet in as root from the box with peripherals,
and control everything that way (no danger since it's a lan only).
I do leave a db15 connector hanging off each machine's video card,
and a keyboard extender cable, just so I can easily hard-wire them
if necessary. And you have the added benefit of being able to
backup/synchronize across machines with rdist or whatever. And
you also only need one printer cable. So you save a lot of ugly
cables and boxes, and gain some functionality.
I'd recommend you dump the switchbox and do the same.

How about permissions and attributes on the files you're trying to change?
[rj@localhost rj]$ ls -l /var/spool/cron
ls: /var/spool/cron: Permission denied
[rj@localhost rj]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost rj]# ls -l /var/spool/cron
total 2
-rw------- 1 root rj 226 Dec 3 11:17 rj
-rw------- 1 root root 379 Oct 15 08:50 root
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root rj 0 Sep 3 22:17 tmp.1680
[root@localhost rj]# man lsattr
[root@localhost rj]# lsattr -R /var/spool/cron
======== /var/spool/cron/tmp.1680
======== /var/spool/cron/root
======== /var/spool/cron/rj
[root@localhost rj]#
(Don't ask me where the tmp.1680 came from. I suspect it's an artifact of
my screwing around with ^%$#@* vi before I had sense enough to set the
editor variable.)

I would not consider that a rescue diskette: it *requires* a viable
root partition on the hard disk. So it is only providing an
alternative to a defective boot sector, not a damaged root filesystem.
What I consider a rescue diskette must have at a minimum fdisk (to
repair partitioning) and e2fsck (to repair filesystems). Better yet
it should have the tools to create new filesystems (mke2fs) and
restore the root backup from backup (tar, restore, or whatever, plus
drivers for backup hardware).

Often, the shared libraries for normal use, especially if you may have more
than one program running that uses the services. The static libraries are
provide two things: the executable can run on a machine that does not have the
static libraries and a debugger can be used on it to actually trace calls into
the library. Although shared libraries can be traced, it is more difficult.

Hi!
I have a multimedia keyboard (microsoft internetlike/clone) with:
Sleep,Suspend, WWW, MsDos, MyDoc,Menu and the Play/Stop/Ffwd
etc buttons. There are also 2 additional LEDs.
Does anybody know how to activate these keys in Linux? I'm using kernel
2.2-15 with RH6.0 and XFree86 4.0.1.
These keys DO NOT generate any scancodes (checked with showkeys and xev)!
I know the scancodes it supposed to generate
(http://www.win.tue.nl/math/dw/personalpages/aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes.html)
and I know how to map them under XFree86 4.0.1
but so far I didn't find a patch (kernel,keyboard driver) to activate the
keys.
Any input is much appreciated!

IBM extended keyboard but I can't remember his name!?
