Re: X won't start
I've done that (at least in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory). Each subdirectory now has a new fonts.dir file. No luck. Is not the unix/:7100 error relating to a URL:port notation? If so, that would lead me to suspect a net communication error, although I am able to ping various IP addresses (from level 3). -Al - Original Message - From: David A.

Thanks, Llama, but unfortunately I'm not in a position (capable?) of trying that. xfs Is running (by ps).

To recap my last suggestion, if you've got sshd running on the box, i'd advise attempting to run any X app remotely to see if it will fire up.

X won't start
I've somehow lost something which causes X not to start when I boot (from HD or from Boot Floppy). After all the normal boot messages, apparently X tries to start, but I get only the quick CL prompt, and then X appears to try to start again, then the prompt, over and over. Booting into linux 3 allows me to se in /var/log/XFree86.0.log the following: Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list Fatal server error: Could not open default font 'fixed' I've reloaded X from the install CD's, to no avail.

Mozilla Java Plugin
I have installed RH 9, and am using Mozilla 1.2.1. I have downloaded Java j2re-1_4_2.01 and would like to add it as a plugin to the Mozilla, but I can't find any instructions. There is an sxs addressing this idea, but it refers to files that are not in this release; it may be out of date. There is a How to Set Up Mozilla sxs but when it comes to java it simply says Install Acrobat, JRE or JDE. I assume I have to make a link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but have tried several .so files that I could find in the j2re folders, to no avail. Can anyone assist? Thank you A.

Re: Trying to give SCO Money, Part II: Success (sort of)
Dear sir: I have in my posession a very nice bridge, in good shape. I will gladly sell you a license to charge tolls on this bridge if you will but supply me with your credit card number. An opportunity such as this should not be missed! (Legal disclaimer: None of the above is true; it is all in jest.) On Mon, 2003-09-22 at 11:00, M. Drew Streib wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A followup to my first letter, in which I tried to give SCO Money... Trying to Give SCO Money, Part II: Success (sort of) by Drew To recap, about a week and a half ago, I posted a short letter describing some woes in trying to give the Santa Cruz Operation money for a Linux license. After all, who wants to be in violation of copyright? (To placate one well-placed criticism of that letter, and to correct a light statement of mine that my code was without copyright: Linux is not without copyright. It is copyrighted under the GNU General Public License, which is very different than the public domain.) Since that letter, I have seen news stories that SCO has announced _available_ licensing plans to the general public. Hot Damn! This is my chance to get me some of them licenses. Roughly a week after those news stories, I had still not received a phone call, so today it was time to followup with sales. A quick call indicated that indeed, SCO was ready to transfer me to a sales rep for the licenses, and in fact, the person was extremely kind and helpful. I had a few questions regarding my specific business needs, and how those would be addresed in the license, which s/he was willing to answer on the phone, or email to me after checking with the product manager/lawyers. Here's the kicker. Sales reps are currently authorized to take your credit card information and sell you a 'license' over the phone, but are apparently unable to actually send you a copy of said license. It seems odd that I should be able to 'sign' something over the phone without having actually had theh opportunity to view it. If the license itself is a grant, and not the contract, then shouldn't the terms of the contract itself require that I at least know what I'm getting in return for my hard-earned (sometimes) bucks? The sales rep was very helpful, and obviously had some notes which produced answers to many of my questions, but his phone assurances that I was in the clear (after a license purchase, of course) cannot be misrepresented as legal assurance. For all I know the license states that my grant is invalid if I spend more than an hour a day watching TV, or ever have eggs for breakfast (stupid examples to make a point). To repeat, because it is important: Can I be bound to a contract that I'm not allowed to see? If this isn't a contract, can I be sold a license under whose terms I am liable, but whose terms are hidden from me? (I don't wish this particular sales rep harm, as s/he was actually very understanding of my reluctance to sign a contract I wasn't allowed to view. If SCO doesn't blacklist me within their sales department, maybe I'll even get a helpful callback.) SCO appears to be willing to sell me an item for which my only knowledge is some non-binding assurances from a sales rep and a line on my credit card bill that says Linux license. I want to give SCO money (at least in this academic endeavour), but not this way. It almost seems warranted to start up a lawsuit on the premise that SCO is taking money for misrepresented claims of what they grant in return (completely independent of the issue of whether or not they have rights to the code to begin with). I'm not a lawyer (as is often painfully clear in some of the things I say), but even _if_ SCO is 100% right on their copyright claims, this deceptive and secretive sales method is unethical at best. Anyway. I'll get my answers soon, and maybe they'll even send me a copy of the license. I'm not holding my breath. - -drew, probably gonna get sued by SCO eventually for this, streib - -- M.

The first thing to do is look at ``dmesg'' output to see if it's being recognized. Do this after turning the drive off for 20 seconds or so, then turning it back on. You should see something talking about sbpxxx and /dev/sd[abcd] (pseudo scsi devices). After you see that, ``fdisk -l /dev/sd[abcd]'' on the appropriate device will probably show you a FAT file system. You will probably want do delete that partition, then add a Linux partition, then finally make an appropriate file system using mkreiserfs or whatever you prefer.

Linksys Wireless Card
I have a LinksysWMP54G wireless card in an HP Vectra dual boot machine. Under XP, all is fine, but using RedHat 9, I can't get the card to work. It isn't even seen at boot time. I emailed Linksys Support and, sure enough, they came back and said Linksys hasn't released a driver for Linux yet. Does anyone know of any way or any other driver which will handle this card?
