At my end, Netscape crashes and Konq works on KDE 2.2 ! But it says that "You need to download Flash and/or Shockwave to play with this activity.

Re: gnome 1.4(or latest stable) on eDesktop2.4
Yeah, Bill ... I'm running Ximian Gnome on a more or less stock eD2.4 install, or at least it was a stock install when I started my Gnome experiments. I used the Ximian install for RedHat 6.x. Issues were that the bug reporting scheme and the upgrade scheme had to be heavily messed with to work with Caldera, and I never did get it to work *quite-right* before I gave up and moved on. Ximian produced a Caldera specific install, but quit doing so right around the time the single seat license policy was announced. No answer from Ximian as to THEIR reason for cancelling the package - this was just my observation. Actually, I've stripped a lot of stuff out of Gnome (Nautilus, Bug Buddy, that particular version of Mozilla, etc.) and now run the Gnome apps I like under IceWM. Works dandy - Gnome, KDE (1.x for now) and X11 apps all seem to coexist quite nicely and IceWM has a low enough memory overhead that it even seems to work with these apps faster than in their native ground. YMMV. - Rich Thompson On Tue, 02 Oct 2001, Bill Day wrote: > Well, wanna take a plunge and check out gnome, seen it once long ago on like > redhat 5 or something and considering it a go around now(supposedly alot > better than it was). > > However I dont want to be logging out of one gui(kde2.1.1) to log into > another(gnome). > > I rember seeing in the linux.nf SxS where you could run another desktop > simultaneously on another tty where currently kde2.1.1 is running on "C^ ALT > F8" . that would be my wish.. > > Anyone running eDesktop 2.4(stock kernel btw 2.2.14) run gnome .. fi so which > version..? > > TIA(btw forwarding this to linuxnf list as well..) > > l8r > > > -- > Bill Day A.K.A.

gnome 1.4(or latest stable) on eDesktop2.4
Well, wanna take a plunge and check out gnome, seen it once long ago on like redhat 5 or something and considering it a go around now(supposedly alot better than it was). However I dont want to be logging out of one gui(kde2.1.1) to log into another(gnome). I rember seeing in the linux.nf SxS where you could run another desktop simultaneously on another tty where currently kde2.1.1 is running on "C^ ALT F8" . that would be my wish..

With some extreme minors, even runlevel 2 is identical. Caldera relies heavily on a well crafted script firing out of /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions to work the magic in /etc/sysconfig/everything There are some very minor typos in the pcmcia and diald config files but the rest is excellent stuff. The work done here was as visionary (at that time) as their equally excellent /etc/modules/default way of handling boot time kernel modules. Regardless of these distro differences the controlling element is /etc/rc. You can imagine it is very different in content between the two, because in a redhat system, it is used to KILL services ala the Kxx mentioned above. In a Caldera system the /etc/sysconfigs you mention are relied on instead (and a slightly different /etc/rc/init/pick-a-script) Having said all that !!! redhat too use /etc/sysconfig, extensively, but not in such a uniform or reliant manner. It unfortunately depends on the specific 'thing' you're trying to control and what the sys-programmer had for breakfast on Wednesday.

Re: bzImage question - now make modules

The list of modules with "unresolved symbols" looks like [snip] Almost for sure (being a caldera derived kernel) the offender is /etc/modules.conf. remove all path statements from the top of that file. eg path[usb] you can, safely, neuter that file altogether to get a kernel made and add back the relevant bits later. Not a recommended procedure but, hell, nothing wrong in reducing noise levels first time out. there is *still* an unresolved issue with depmod -a that requires it to be used AFTER you reboot the new kernel. This 'problem' is so endemic that all distros i am aware of automatically fire that command out at boot time without your help. The ways they do that are sometimes wondrous to behold. So, if modules are your only problem you will be 'ok' to reboot on a now (functionally compiled) kernel. It is quite likely in any case, that because this is your first go, you've probably 'missed' selecting / compiling a module or two and depmod / modprobe will scream regardless. The bottom line safety net is to leave an intact kernel 2.4.0 kernel image in /boot, ensure lilo does indeed point to it in some way, and, secondly retain /lib/modules/2.4.0 Everything else is playtime, and you'll be reasonably bomb proof. -- http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Do You Yahoo!?

Looks easy enuf: Works off >procmail. >The SpamBouncer *** I'm not sure spambouncer is what you need in your case. Try and have a look at procmail sanitizer which does a bit of spam bouncing but especially sanitizing of mail messages (checking the attachments for virus messages) It's a set of procmail rules - so you could add spambouncer later on if you need to. It consists of several files each with their particular function. The whole setup is initiated by your /etc/procmailrc file. You can make the config as complicated as you wish. Once setup you don't touch the main files, your own local rules or new procmail sanitizing rules go in "local-rules.procmail". Once a suspicious file has been detected it will go to a mailbox assigned by you as the quarantine, renamed to whatever.doc.txt. The sanitizer will automatically mail a preformed message (found in security-policy.txt) to the sender and/or its ISP. The setup will take you anything between 2 hours and half a day depending on your motivation. It took me half a day because 1/ I WAS motivated ;-) and 2/ it works so well you want to make it the most perfect filtering setup in the world ;-)))... The URL is http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/for the download directory. The main page is "under renovation" (?) for the last 6 months and one of the pages says the filters haven't been updated for the last 2 years (!)... This might sound as a bad thing, and it probably is for the average user, but it's really not a problem. In fact the sanitizer gives you a nice basis to start with and with all the procmail resources available on the Net you'll be able to put together something that fits your needs. I've been running the sanitizer for the last 7 months on my mail server and I can confirm it works very well. While McAfee and others where trying to figure out what was happening I already got several viruses isolated in my quarantine mailbox. Mail me if you need more info...
