Re: Maxtor 80 meg drive
I am using a 2.4.5 kernel patched for win4lin. The LVM HOWTO calls for 2.4.9. kernels and earlier to be patched. I get real use out of win4lin (gotta be able to run word and excel and nlreg, and my wife uses it for AOL when her windows box goes down) and it is working perfectly, at this time. I just don't want to have to patch my already patched kernel, since it was a bear getting everything on win4lin working right (networking, printing) and I have found that it is really easy to break win4lin.

Still trying to get connected with dhcpcd -d eth1 to the new or old @HOME service. My cable modem is on eth1.

Sounds like a good guess to me. If I had started with this kind of KDE performance on linux, I probably wouldn't have been as motivated to try out XFCE. I can't wait to compare the results with XFCE and SYLPHEED and even GNOME. Standard FreeBSD comes with an ancient version of XFree, so I had to do considerable tinkering to get my S3 Savage card/monitor to work at higher resolutions. FreeBSD is way behind the curve on soundcards; this is a silent install. It does have cups, so I'll try that next. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - FreeBSD 4.4 with KDE ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Really handy but unsolicted tips for vi (vim)
The more I learn about vi the better it becomes.
Just to pass along a couple of tricks I recently learned about vi (vim)
which have made a huge difference in my use of it.
A big problem with vi is fixing up those ragged lines after you edit a
paragraph. You can just pass the lines through a filter fmt and it fixes
that right up. Just position your cursor in the paragraph you want to fix
up, and have a blank line at the end and the beginning of the paragraph,
(Blank lines separate paragraphs as far as I can tell.)
{!}fmt [return]
If you don't like the result, just press u. Man fmt has some options
to read about. Just map this to the g or other unused key for fast
work. If you want to format the whole document like this, not just the
paragraph you are in, change the command to:
1G!Gfmt [return]
Remember, have blank lines between paragraphs. Combined with the J
command to join lines, this make formatting a document with vi almost fun
and very fast. If you want to get rid of those extra blank lines between
paragraphs after you are all done formatting, the following works well:
1G!Gsed "/^$/d"
You can also run this command in ex mode like this.
:1,$ ! sed "/^$/d"
This make re-editing the command to fix mistakes easier. Recall the
command with :[uparrow].

Just thought you'all might want to know about this SECURITY presentation
by author and CEO Matt Curtin this WEDNESDAY (9 Jan 2002).
He'll be speaking on "System Privacy and Security (How the Bad Guys
Catch You with Your Pants Down)". He is founder and President of
Interhack, Inc., a company that specializes in helping build systems
worthy of trust. He has recently published a book on the topic,
"Developing Trust: Online Privacy and Security".
There is no charge - so please forward this invitation to anyone
interested!
The President and CEO of the Industry and Technology Council listened to
a recent presentation by Mr. Curtin and said he has a passion for his
topic and does a great presentation.
It's this Wednesday Jan. 9, 2002 at Chemical Abstracts Service, 2540
Olentangy River Rd., Columbus, Ohio at 7 PM. If there's a security
officer at the driveway entrance he'll let you through if you tell him
what you're there for. The main entrance has 2 fountains in front of it
- but they'll be turned off this time of year. The security guard
inside the front door can direct you to the correct room. Fortunately,
there's nothing at the Schotteinstein Center that night - so traffic
won't be a problem.

When I had an issue with the 1024 wonder card they cheerfully replaced it. Heck even when I bought the Rage Fury Pro AGP (32meg) it was not supported under linux, but it is now. If you like the latest and the greatest then perhaps you should be prepared to "RTFM" a lot. Eventually the card will be supported or some kind soul will post a work-around that will make it work. But if you want the latest and greatest supported straight out of R&D then perhaps you should settle for the M$ tax and be done with it.

Paul will followup on the complete program, but I would like to announce the first class. This is a very exciting begining. The first class is called Intoduction to Linux. The cost is $200 plus you can purchase a computer through our network of hardware vendors to participate in the class. This class goes through the installation process of Linux on standard hardware and ONLY hardware which we order through our vendor will be allowed to be used in the classroom. This prevents us from turning into installfest maddness. People who spring for the machine (for less than $500) will beable to use it in further classes as we learn to build a powerful system. The class will be 5 classes in 5 weeks from Monday Febuary 4th until March 4th. All students MUST pay in advanced. The time of the class will be 7PM - 10:30PM We might push later is required. We will also meet on line for instruction on an agreed upon weeksly time to fill out about 6 hours a weeks instruction. We will hold class at Rosenswieg and Maffia at 845 3rd Avenue in Midtown Manhattan A maximum of 20 students can be accomedated. Checks are made payable to NYLXS. Final exams of this class is the installation of a system with basic setup. __ This is the Syllabus for the first class: Introduction to Linux Installation Boot Media, Kernels Hard Drives Partitions fdisk, type 82, 83 etc swap partitions, mkswap, swapon, partition types, patition tables, /boot /home /usr /var file systems, ext2, reiser, ext3, mke2fs Intro to the Shell Kernel ->getty->login-shell /etc/passwd adduser /etc/group Introduction to VI VI Commands (and vim) Command mode i=>insert o=>open a=>append dd=>delete yy=>yank p=> paste jklim edit more Typing to the screen execute mode :w write :q quit /search :wq! at all costs 1,$s/old/new/g - global substitutions Basic Shell Commands ls cp mv ls glob* cat ps pstree top Files, ownershop, group permission Setting up X XF86Setup Knowing your hardware Network Setup Basics ipaddress host name domain name gateway dns entries adding users on different systems ifconfig modules - lsmod, modprobe, depmode This class will be followed up by the Unix 1 Class. -- __ Brooklyn Linux Solutions __ http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Consulting http://www.brooklynonline.com - For the love of Brooklyn http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.nyfairuse.org - The foundation of Democracy http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive or stories and articles from around the net http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/mp3/hooked.mp3 - Spring is coming http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/downtown.html - See the New Downtown Brooklyn 1-718-382-5752 New Yorker Linux Users Scene Fair Use - because it's either fair use or useless -- __ Brooklyn Linux Solutions __ http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Consulting http://www.brooklynonline.com - For the love of Brooklyn http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.nyfairuse.org - The foundation of Democracy http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive or stories and articles from around the net http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/mp3/hooked.mp3 - Spring is coming http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/downtown.html - See the New Downtown Brooklyn 1-718-382-5752 ## "Moving Forward..."

I have a winmodem in this laptop and it works -- the performance is sucky at best. My advice ist to build a firewall (www.smoothwall.org) with an dialup modem and use an ethernet card on your laptop. You might want to check out the winmodem listserv best on that one. I also looked at Vmware on a laptop and I would not recommend it. Gets too complicated and messy. On a desktop it might be ok but not a laptop. dont get me wrong it can be done but to much work for me (not enouh time in the day I guess).

Questions about moving from Win2k to SUSE 7.3 Pro (Long)
Hi All, My name is Shane Broomhall from Brisbane Australia. I have migrated once from Widows to Linux but had to change back due to work requirements. I am now looking at moving back with in a month, but I have a few concerns I hope this list can address. My computer is an IBM thinkpad A20m. I have replaced the hard disk with one of 30M and it has 512M of ram, so I am expecting it to really scream. It has an internal DVD, and a Win Modem. I have an Iomega USB Zip CDR. My last usage of Suse was on this laptop with 7.0. I have purchased 7.3 pro. My questions are as follows.: the 2.4 Kernal has support for USB devices, would anyone know if my USB CDR would be detected and it it would be useable as a CDR. ?? Does the USB Zip Drive work as well ??? I have heard that Winmodems are now useable, has anyone had experiences with making these work with 7.3 and could you please give me hint on where to find the instructions. ??? Currently I am using Norton Internet secutiry as my anti virus and firewall, I am at times detecting port scans every few minutes. Are there any available instructions on really securing Suse Linux or linux generally to prevent or at least slow down hackers and scanners ?? Are there any tools to give them a slap on the wrist if they try ? I will still need to run some windows applications but I am hoping to use an emulator, probably Vmware, how difficult is this to setup ?? The main program is an accounting program called MYOB.

It was intended to cripple and destroy Unix, since Unix was seen as far far far too 'universal' and non-proprietary.

I would like to know if the newer ATI cards that have firewire interfaces are fully supported on Linux. I have seen some references to firewire support, but in other places they say that the ATI cards use a firewire chip that is not supported. I guess I will check the ATI FAQ.
