You might try heading to the themes directory ~/.sawfish/themes, and
then running the command:
% tar xfvz DarkAlloy.tar.gz
That will extract the images and configuration sitting in the archive.
It will _LIKELY_ create a subdirectory like
~/.sawfish/themes/DarkAlloy/; you can look at the list of files via
the command:
% tar tfvz DarkAlloy.tar.gz

Well, here is mine.

:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\

Not clear which you want. /dev/lp0 is the printer port.
:if is the printer filter ( not sure what LPRng sets up.) This is the
main program which handles the printing, mx#0 means do not limit the
size of the job, sd is the directory in which the files are stored for
printing, ac is the account file ( you may not want this) lf is the file
where error messages are placed.

I'm trying to upgrade my RH 6.2 Update Agent, per instructions on their
webpage http://www.redhat.com/network/service/rhl_62.html
I follow the instructions to run `rpm` on the downloaded packages.
However, I get a message that certain packages require "libdb-3.1.so"
I searched my two RH cds, in the RPMS directory, but I can't find such a
package.
What is it, and how can I get this???

I believe it has a hardware wavetable synth, but you have to load
soundfonts into RAM.

Many programs keep looking for /dev/sequencer.
Still, one of my primary aims was to get it talking to the external midi
port, and this seems to work fine now.

I am getting a error message now when I am tring to mount the floppy drive

MESSAGE saying - mount point floppy does not exist. But when I look in the
KDE disk navigator /root/mnt/ I see cd-rom and floppy there ???? What gives
with that?
If I coud get that to mount then I can copy the compiled module of the

the VFAT statement???????

and the Right to Private Ownership of Computers
Date: 20 Mar 2001 02:27:52 -0500
Disney, Sony, DoubleClick, RIAA, and the MPAA today demand that private
ownership of computers be outlawed. Their argument is that the Cartel must
be protected against computer owners running their computers in manners and
modes not approved by the Cartel. The Cartel's proposed remedy against
such licentious and anarchic use of private property is simple: that after
July 2001 every single new IDE hard drive include one megabyte of spy
firmware, which will oversee all hard disk operations, and communicate
directly with the Ministry of Truth and Infotainment.

Subject: [wwwac] March 21 NYC Event on Copyright and Digital Media
An event concerning copyright and digital media is being held March 21 by
The New York New Media Association Digital Content Special Interest Group
and the New York County Lawyers Intellectual Property Committee.
Speakers include:
Martin Garbus, Frankfurt Garbus Kurnit Klein & Selz, PC
Allan Adler, VP Legal and Governmental Affairs, Association of American Publishers
RogerParloff, Legal Editor, Inside
The event will be co-moderated by James Alexander of Mibrary and attorney
Stephen Filler.
Here are the details:
NYNMA's Digital Content Special Interest Group (SIG) in conjunction with
the Intellectual Property Committee of New York County Lawyers Association
(NYCLA) Present:
Rights to Bytes: What control do consumers have over their digital assets
navigating the grey areas of First Sale and Fair Use in an immaterial
world.
Wednesday, March 21, 6:00 7:30 PM
Sony Entertainment, 550 Madison Avenue (between 56th and 57th Streets),
2nd floor
The question is deceptively simple: Do we as consumers have the right to
resell and make fair use of ebooks, mp3s or other digital media we have
legally purchased? After all, we have the right to dispose of our physical
books and cds in any way we see fit, but digital content consumers face new
technologies and contracts that restrict these rights. Why should digital
content have a different set of rules?
This special Panel Event will look at how recent developments in
technology, law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act may be
restricting consumers' rights in ways never before imagined.
Join NYNMA's Digital Content SIG, NYCLA's Intellectual Property Committee
and a panel of industry leaders for an evening of speculative debate and
lively discussion on this hot topic. This distinctive event will be
moderated by SIG Co-Chair James Alexander of Mibrary and attorney
Stephen Filler from NYCLA's Intellectual Property Committee. Panelists to
be announced.

Did you check if your own ~/.bash_profile contains a line that changes
KDEDIRS back to /opt/kde? If so, that would override anything set in
/etc/profile.
