Re: Cursor over links in web pages
I came across another solution to this problem (below in the old email), so I thought I would pass it on. This may seem simple, but it is all new to me. Instead of making the entire image the anchor for the url for the next image, use the map option in html to make only a small area of the image work as the link to the next image. That way, the cursor retains its normal, arrow appearance over most of the image. For example, 5.html could contain this: body IMG SRC=image5.jpg WIDTH=1000 HEIGHT=750 BORDER=0 USEMAP=#map MAP NAME=map AREA SHAPE=CIRCLE COORDS=359,384,104 HREF=6.html /MAP /body This is easily done with gimp (filter/web/imagemap), although, this will have to be automated with a sed script for stringing together numerous images for a slide show.

It is basically just a bunch of small sequentially numbered html documents which pull in jpg's, sorta like this, with irrelevant details left out. This document would be called 5.html, for example, and it displays image5.jpg. body p a href=6.htmlimg src=image5.jpg/a /body Each image displayed by the browser is the link to the next html document and thus the next image in the sequence. The problem is the cursor, when over a link, becomes that whimpy looking small hand with the pointed finger, not really very impressive. Since the presenter might like to use the mouse to point out items of interest in the image, a bigger pointer, like a big arrow, would be much more useful. I do not know where this is fixed: the GUI, the browser (I am using opera, but may have to use IE if the computer has windows installed), or in the html.

Right, I don't, and I don't always use kde either. therefore I avoid kdm and gdm. Wdm is a good solution for the user who wants to throw less in the way of resources into login/window management. You can have a nice system with wdm plus xfce, blackbox, etc., etc. without waiting 3-40 seconds just to start a window manager. It's academic to me at the moment, because I'm running KDE, but kdm has some sort of a bug (a qt flaw) that makes it take forever to start, so I've scrapped it in favor of wdm. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Athlon-XP gentoo 1.4_rc2 kde 3.1 ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

RE: linux like Alpha4 relational database?
It's not free, but I feel quite nice. Rekall from the Kompany. I will run under Linux or winblows. It use python as a scripting language (which BTW I have no clue how to program, but I'll learn). And it can interface postgresql, mysql, or xbase! You can do forms, queries, copies, create and edit tables, yes you can even create xbase tables under linux. What's more I have used it to manage a home inventory mysql database. I haven't got quite good at writing code snippets for the buttons, etc, but since it is quite like M$ Access, most of this can be used built in.

Re: Scripting KDE Menu Additions and Removals

To remove an application from the K menu, do NOT delete tthe file in the applnk directory. Instead, add this to the file: NoDisplay: true A shell script to do this would be straight forward.

So, it is all just a bunch of small files. If you want to do a change for a specific user, put the same files in $HOME/.kde2/share.

Linux choking on large files
I recently began having problems transferring large files to my COL 2.4.18
kernel and Samba 2.22.
I first noticed the problem when a large email attachment got hung in the
queue. I tried to flush it but it was locked for sending. (I use my server
as a mail relay for my network, along with fetchmail and procmail). When I
tried to flush it, I would temporarily lose network access to my server. No
Samba, SSH, or Webmin. Then it would start working again.
Later on I was attempting to copy a 45MB file to the server and I lost all
connectivity. Once the copy errored out and I canceled the copy, the
network came back. The only errors I have found were on the console of the
server:
hda: irq timeout : Status=0xD0 {Busy}
IDE0: reset: success
In addition I saw this once:
ll_rw_block: device 03:03: only 512-char blocks implemented (1152).
Suspecting a hard drive problem, I changed to runlevel 1, then dismounted
the partitions and did an e2fsck -c on them. It found and fixed a few
problems, which I suspected it would since it had been hard booted a couple
times in the last year due to power failures etc.
Also, I ran some low-level hardware diagnostics on the hard drives and they
came up clean.
Any ideas what may be causing this issue? The logs are clean.

You didn't mention which distro, but one good method is Red Hat's Kickstart tool. You simply have a bootable floppy disk with an anaconda-ks.cfg file which specifies the nfs server, packages, partitioning, and every other configuration requirement needed to build a complete system across the wire. Your networking options are quite variable, from docking station ethernet, to pcmcia network card, to wireless. Just depends on what is already owned, or can be afforded. ot I'd recommend wireless if your existing facilities are not cabled well. The Lucent Orinoco cards can be quite inexpensive. I'm looking forward to 802.11a supported cards for linux to achieve the (theoretical) 54Mbps speeds. /ot For example, a system built by one of my fellow admins today took a total of 15 minutes to go from blank disks to a fully functional system across a 10Mbps cat5 network. We have 45 new systems to build in the next 2 months and it's going to save us a vast amount of time this way. -- Andrew Mathews - 8:42pm up 12 days, 2:51, 11 users, load average: 1.05, 1.01, 1.00 - Virginia law forbids bathtubs in the house; tubs must be kept in the yard. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
