I would think it would make MUCH more sense to run it from /etc/ppp/ip-up
(or ip-up.local), so you were certain that pppd connected before it runs.
Then it would also work if you were ever dropped and reconnected.

I think the default for pppd it to try to lookup the peer address, and it
cannot do that without DNS, and it cannot get to DNS without being
connected to the unknown peer. To make a long story short, just add to
your /etc/ppp/options:
noauth

Try adding "noauth" to your /etc/ppp/options file.

I have win98 and Linux installed on my machinge on one physical drive.
win98 is installed on a fat32 partition. I need to find a way to get files
from my win98 partition to my linux partition. I've successfully moved
small files from win98 to linux using a floppy formatted FAT, but I need to
move and copy larger files. What can I do to make part of my win98
partition visible to my linux installation. Thanks so much for any help.

ELF = Executable and Linkable Format, a standard for Unix binaries and
the standard output format for gcc on Linux for a couple of years or more
now. If you're using a distro that was released after January 1999,
you've got it.
Motif is a set of GUI widgets. Motif stuff was fairly standard for X
programs for a long while, but Motif was non-free for a long time and
has largely been superseded by GTK+ and QT in the Linux/BSD world.
There is a free implementation of Motif called LessTif, but it doesn't
quite work with everything. HTH,

Well, I doubt that reason, but the result is probably right. Note that
you may have an ethernet card, in which case make sure that the
GATEWAY=
in /etc/sysconfig/network does not have any entry.

You're going to need to check out Samba. It usually comes with most
distributions, type "man samba" and that should help.
Good luck.

df = disk free.
This is a unix faq.

?? yes, it's the max inode count. What did you think? That you can
hold 2G 2byte files on a 4GB FS? No. You made the decision about how
much space to reserve for the file pointers when you made the FS.
If you now wish that you'd allocated more (because your file system
contains many small files instead of few big ones), well, back up,
reformat, and restore.

Please climb back in lurking hole and learn to quote properly.
Hmmm .. there is never any danger in insulting someone who can't
write well enough to at least quote in a literate way. Or at least
one only has to beware of his more literate friends.
Mind you, since he didn't read or understand what the person he
responded to had to say, however, there is little danger of him reading
or understanding this either!
I wonder if he'll know what I'm on about?

Maybe he will. Let's assume it was a kneejerk reaction crossed with a
sleepy oversight. And maybe "matt" was wrong about the number of

When I try to install gnome-core,
during configure I get something like,
"CApplet library not found"
I have installed all the basic gnome
libraries that are necessary to run gnome,
and now I continue with this.
So, I thought that I should install gnome-applets
first, but then I get an error like
"another_clock.c:29: applet-widget.h: File or catalogue doesn't exist"
I read that applet-widget came with gnome-core, so to
me this seems a little bit "Catch 22".
What install the library "CApplet"?
