Xine Build
Has anyone tried to build Xine from the src rpms? libdvdread wants libtool 1.3.5, which I downloaded and built from a tarball. This is on a COL 3.1 box btw. The i686 rpms are for SuSE and didn't work on COL. Xine starts but exits abruptly.

Xine: How to use it
Well, inspired by recent posts, I got and installed xine. Seems to work. Wasn't easy to install (elusive libs) and I had to upgrade my video driver (which worked, now that I know how to load modules manually!!) and all seems well. However, I can't find much documentation on how to actually use it, with all its fancy graphical but puzzling controls. If anyone knows of a guide to using the xine gui, please let me know. Thanks.

In Win: Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab Sets whether or not to dial a connection. If you are using the Windows Box as your gateway, I assume you want to auto dial so that's not really much help. What you need to do is see what Internet bound traffic is being generated by the Linux box that's causing the dial out. #man tcpdump or #man ethereal Is the /etc/resolv.conf set to look for DNS outside your local network? If it is and you so much as sneeze in the general direction of a host that isn't BOTH _local to your network_ AND _locally listed in your /etc/hosts file_ it will query the external DNS servers in resolv.conf causing the dial out. Perhaps? If this doesn't do it, you'll have to have tcpdump or ethereal come up as soon as your eth0 is configured (somewhere in your rc scripts or rc#.d directories) and capture the packet log to a file to see what's leaving the linux host bound for where.

Fwd: Tommy Hilfiger is dressing up its e-business infrastructure with IBM and Linux
,--- Forwarded message (begin) Subject: Tommy Hilfiger is dressing up its e-business infrastructure with IBM and Linux From: Stacy Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2001 21:48:22 -0500 Tommy Hilfiger Chooses IBM and Linux for e-business Infrastructure New Portals Expand Company's Reach to Specialty Retailers, Factories, Employees ARMONK, NY, December 5, 2001 . . . IBM today announced that Tommy Hilfiger Corporation has chosen IBM, eOneGroup and Linux for its new e-business infrastructure as the company works to expand its presence among thousands of U.S. specialty retailers, as well as its worldwide manufacturing facilities and employees. Tommy Hilfiger selected technologies from IBM, including IBM eServer products running Linux, DB2 Universal Database, Java and eOneGroup's suite of software products to create: A new B2B portal (www.tommyb2b.com) that allows Tommy Hilfiger's specialty retailers and salesforce to view, via the web, selected core and seasonal apparel products such as jeans and other basic available inventory in real-time, and place, track and ship orders; A business-to-plant website that links Tommy Hilfiger's production facilities around the world, which is expected to speed design-to-product time and significantly decrease costs; and A virtual employee store that allows, for the first time, Tommy Hilfiger personnel to shop online around the clock. The web infrastructure, designed and built by IBM Business Partner eOneGroup, includes IBM eServer xSeries servers running Linux to handle web-based transactions, integrated online with IBM eServer iSeries servers running Java that are tied to existing wholesale and warehouse management systems. "We identified an increasing demand for our products among mid-market specialty retailers, and IBM and eOneGroup delivered the technologies and expertise we needed to reach this growing market segment," said Brent Findon, vice president of system development at Tommy Hilfiger. "In addition, by integrating these new web portals with our existing back-end systems, we saved significantly on the time and expense of deploying this total infrastructure." "IBM's server interoperability and application flexibility enabled us to reach Tommy Hilfiger's goals of lower costs and increased revenue," said Dan Watson, president of eOneGroup. "The manufacturing portal and employee store are expected to produce substantial cost savings and tommyb2b.com has already proved productive and efficient for specialty store retailers with limited travel budgets." "Tommy Hilfiger needed a solution that provided the performance and reliability necessary to win in the tough retail marketplace," said Buell Duncan, general manager of IBM's mid-market servers. "With our IBM Business Partner eOneGroup, we are committed to helping Tommy Hilfiger grow into new markets with its powerful e-business infrastructure." About Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, through its subsidiaries, designs, sources and markets men's and women's sportswear, jeanswear and childrenswear under the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks.

I see no mention of a whois.conf on either COL31 or OpenServer5 I did find this via google search for 'whois.conf': -a snippet from some BSD pages: Whois uses the server listed in /etc/whois.conf, or the default NIC (whois.internic.net). This can be overridden by the command line option: -h It sounds as though you stick a single line in this file, specifying the whois server you wish to query, if it's not whois.internic.net and you are getting tired of typing the 'h option ... ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: Winex issues (from CVS)
I'm no software head, but I can try to tell you what to do. I've trimmed it a littlle; As I see it, the meaningful line is this one > > ddraw/gl.h:67: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of > > `DD_GL_data' That is not defined and is defaulting, probably because of syntax errors. I would copy the files mentioned below out to my home directory, and try to correct the syntax with an editor - this from a guy who doesn't understand any of it :-o. "No semicolon" seems straightforward enough, but may not be. If it screws up, nothing is lost - you still have rm ;-). I have solved this thing in the past by finding the correct mailing list, joining it, and telling my woes. I even got a patch written for my system written by one of these guys on the list. Try asking Mr Gates for that ;-). The downside of that approach is you have to be competent (not me) or work very hard at it. -- Regards, Declan Moriarty Applied Researches - Ireland's Foremost Electronic Hardware Genius A Slightly Serious(TM) Company Experience is like a comb, that Life gives you - AFTER all your hair has fallen out!
