Hello all,
I have set up qmail and managed to start it. But then what?
There is no documentation of how i can receive email through the qmail
server...
Is there any good documentation of qmail from step1 (installation) to the
point i can receive pop emails on the client machines?
regards.

Cannot install Linux on both my computers (laptop and desktop) because the
driver for the above mentioned hardware is not available with the Linux
wrapper (Mandrake 7.2 and/or Redhat). Does anyone know where I might get
it?
Thanks,

Is there any way to change the sizes of the icons under gnome?

Triple click on the text below the icon and you can change it. When
done just click the desktop.

You can't.
swap space doesn't have a normal filesystem.
It's not even in the root tree of the FS.(unless you make a swapfile, then
ofcourse the *file* is, the swapspace still isn't)

What a mess. First type 'uname -a' to see what version you really are
running. If you don't have a vmlinuz-2.2.17 I doubt seriously that you
are running 2.2.17. Go back into the source directory and make the
modules (make dep; make clean; make modules; make modules_install),
even if you don't use them. The directory and subdirectories still need to
exist for things to work, even if they are empty.
Now, if you haven't done it before type 'make bzImage' to create the kernel.
If it completes without errors, the kernel image will be
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. Copy it as follows:
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17
Also, the System.map you copied to /boot should be named
System.map-2.2.17 to work. Just copying it into the /boot directory
witout renaming it overwrites what's already there. Doing things this way
can have disastrous results (i.e. not able to reboot, mixed-up modules
and module dependencies, kernel version mismatch).
Now try making your bootdisk.
The howtos are out of date on many things. Many things still work exactly
as they are written. Reading them before trying things usually has better
success than just going off and doing whatever comes to mind and then
wondering what went wrong.

This sounds like a flakey hardware problem. I don't think that it is
Linux related and it may not even be the CPU's but rather a seperate

Ummm. http://www.mainmatter.com/ has a simple CGI string search of
the Linux FAQ. Hopefully will be providing search of other LDP docs
in the not-so-distant future.
If you want to search non-indexed text on a local file system, then
look at http://www.mainmatter.com/critter/.

Hello,
search for a tool called man2html, which does what you want.
But why does anybody wants to read Unix/Linux manpages under Windows,
anyway?
You could install cygwin on the windows box, but a little overkill just
to read manpages...:-)

Please give your complete Name, like others
if you want answers and further help from me!
You should give an exact subject e.g. "running SCSI Adaptec 1505 "
Your problem:
I have got the same SCSI-Card and an scanner attached, too.
Have you got a pnp-card (Plug&Play) or non-pnp ? - The
non-pnp-card you can switch IRQ and DMA by jumper, the
pnp-card you have to initialise by Kernel-options
at lilo-start. See linux-pnp-tool (attention: isapnp.conf
that is automatically generated is buggy! Delete "CHECK"!).
Which options did you enable in your Kernel? pnp?
SCSI-generic support? ..... What exactly have you
done?

This is almost going in the FAQ. Try this:

You can get free M$ (oxymoronic, I know) versions of nroff and less at
better archive sites anywhere.

Linux is the operating system of simple tools to get wonderful results
combining them. For a calculator with traditional (¿infix?) notation, try
command bc with option -l (bc -l). You'll be put in interactive mode,
where (surprisingly enough), 4*4 yields 16 and so on.
You can even have a shell alias like Debian's Spanish localization:
calculator () {
echo $* | bc -l
}
So you can exec "calculator 4*4" from the shell prompt, and get the result
in your stdout.

Actually, he said that it was irrelevant, wether the other side was
running Windows or not. Of course, it won't do at all for you to use
ICQ, when your friend is using IRC or vice versa. But as long as there
exists an implementation of the protocol available for both systems,
it's irrelevant what OS you are running.

that's really dependent on the terminal emulator (that is, the shades
of colors that are displayed for the 8/16 colors). I build lynx using
the default-colors extension of ncurses, and choose my application's
color scheme so the background doesn't interfere with the text colors).
(usually, for lynx, that's the color-style configuration)
