Re: [newbie] Me thinks I got a virus

[Raffaele Belardi]

I think e2fschk is a front end that invokes the correct fsck.* program. 
If you type man fsck.ext3 you are shown the e2fschk man page.

On my MDK9.1 there is no fsck.reiserfs command, only fsck.ext3. Could it 
be an alias?

The command should output something. In my case the output is (hda1 is 
an ext3 partition):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# e2fsck -f /dev/hda1
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)

You could check partitions with

# e2fschk -f -c /dev/hda?

-f forces the check
-c performs bad block scan (I've never done this, don't know how long it 
takes)
Substitute hda? with the name of your partitions.


Does that command work with Reiserfs partitions?
I've tried to check /home by doing an init 1 as su and running
fsck.reiserfs  it doesn't display anything and the command prompt is
redisplayed.  I'll try the rescue disk next.

I have never tried this (just saved joe's post cuz it looked
helpful).  Anyway, here is a post from way back.
I notice you have /dev/psaux and he had mouse:
Subject: Re: [newbie] How do I use all buttons on MS Explorer mouse?


I dropped deadman a quick question on this mouse, but would be
interested to know if any of you have input or experiences to
add...


the instructions on his site should apply to any mouse with 5
buttons or
even 7. you are using xmodmap, like this (in your .xinitrc):
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" &

plus an entry in your XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
now, you can let go of the "Explorer" part and give it a shot, to my
mind it shouldn't matter. of course if it doesn't work, just put it
back
to normal (your system even keeps a backup of your old XF86Config
for
you to rename and use).
Personally, it seemed to wreak havoc with my WM and mousewheeling
thru
desktops, so I commented it out for now. I'll give it a shot later.

Thanks eric, but as far as I can tell what you told me will make x see 
that there are 7 buttons, 5 actual, and 2 for the wheel, and map the 
scrolling to the wheel ("buttons" 6 and 7) what I'm looking for is 
getting the buttons 4 and 5 (thumb buttons) to perform a specific 
function. The first part I believe I have working already. It seems like 
I just need to find the correct systax for the mozilla entry in the 
imwheelrc file, but since none of the entries that I have found on the 
web seem to work the way they should, I'm not entirely sure that I have 
imwheel set up correctly or that imwheel is even the way to do this 
anymore. Anyway, I'll keep looking, thanks for the response.

Did you put in the "*" after kernel? That leaves the version number open to 
what is available otherwise it ignores anything like 
NVIDIA_kernel-2.4-1mdk.rpm or whatever is on your CDs. 
My system uses  NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-4321-3mdk

Each package have a priority for install. Depending on the size of / partition 
Mdk installer will install more or less packages on your system. If you need 
a specific package to be or not to be installed choose to manually select  
packages during install.

Huff, Derek, I don't know what I am doing wrong because I do not succeed in
connecting to Internet.

My encryption key is a ten digit number, so I wrote in the corresponding
fields as: s:xx.

The modem-router assigns the directions IP, so I never unchecked the DHCP
box.

I also know my ESSID: 2wire806. I suppose here I do not have to be careful
with capitals or lower case letters.

I will try in a moment to write an IP address from the pool in the router,
and see if I can connect.

I think I followed your instructions carefully. Maybe I am doing something
silly.

Teilhard.

Not too many themes available yet for the latest CVS. I have a couple I

Check out the Pek site under Themes, there are some there.

Make the panel "sticky", you should have a setting for that in your
~/.pekwm/keys file. Mine is:

KeyPress = "Mod4 a" { Actions = "Stick" }

I am not sure if this can be done at startup, I am currently
investigating whether the panel can be recognized by the
~/.pekwm/autoprops file.

I am not aware of any way to have the panel not show up in the iconbar,
since Pek sees it as an "app". Perhaps this is something that could be
discussed on the Pekwm-devel list?

> 3. Have the mouse acceleration not quite as fast.

Don't use my setting (xset m 50/10 3 &), use the XFCE settings manager
to set your mouse speed/acceleration.

Again, not sure about Gkrellm, that's better asked on the XFCE lists, I
don't use the taskbar or iconbar, as I say, I never minimize my apps
since I use 10 desktops... :-)

To make the menu appear on right-click, change the setting in your
~/.pekwm/mouse file.

I have succeeded in running xfce4 with pek. It it's pretty awesome! I
just have some questions:

1. How can I get new themes? The default purple one isn't to my liking.
2. Is there a way to make xfce4-panel not show up in the iconbar, and
have it so that when you switch desktops with it, it stays up. (have it
on all the desktops, and not the taskbar.)
3. Have the mouse acceleration not quite as fast.
4. Make gkrellm not appear in the taskbar, and have it on all desktops.
make the menu appear on right click, and nothing on left click.

Thanks so much!

Take a look at "man uniq":

   Discard  all but one of successive identical lines from INPUT (or stan-
   dard input), writing to OUTPUT (or standard output).

If the words are not in order, and therefore the duplicates are not on 
successive lines, take a look at "man sort"

*If they print it...* Who knows where it will end up?

Dear Editor,

The abovementioned article is so rife with inaccuracy and untruth, it is
difficult to believe it was not dictated directly from Redmond and
printed verbatim.

First of all, the reason Microsoft is the target of most hack attacks
has nothing whatsoever to do with it's market share. The internet
suffers unduly because of egregious security flaws in Microsoft's
"operating system", *despite* the fact that most of the websites on the
Internet and most of the Internet's structure is built on Unix, Linux,
and other non-Microsoft platforms. The internet continues to function in
a useable manner day-to-day only because the non-Microsoft software that
it runs on is able to cope with the load that Microsoft vulnerabilities
generate.

This bit of propagandistic fluff is clearly an editorial response to
the report issued recently by the Computer and Communications Industry
Association, which quite rightly heaps almost all of the blame for the
woes of the average user's Internet experience squarely where it
belongs: Microsoft. The fact that said report is not mentioned *once* is
in itself a glaring oversight on the part of the journalist. 

Microsoft's corporate culture is characterized by inattention to
security, and has been for decades, not the hardware manufacturers, not
vendors of Unix products, not the Open Source community, only Microsoft.

This is why, increasingly, Governments across the globe are turning to
alternatives to Microsoft, not only for the reduced costs and less

This table (http://www.wireless.org.au/~jhecker/atmeldrv/usbtable.html ) 
reports that SMC has a driver for that device, but I have no experience of 
using it. You might find it works fine. The big issue is 'has SMC configured 
their driver to be usb hotpluggable?' Does the driver load when you plug in 
the device?
You might have to enter
modprobe driver_name
before you can use it.
If that modprobe works then you could try configuring the interface with 
iwconfig.

If you are not confortable with compiling a driver you could give the 
atmelwlandriver built into Mandrake 9.1 a try. The problem I found with that 
driver is it does not like some types of usb interfaces much, and usually 
only works from a cold power up. It gets screwed up if you pull the usb cable 
in and out.
There is a config file for the atmelwlandriver at /root/.vnetrc or you can try 
setting it up by hand using iwconfig

You can check if a driver is getting loaded when you plug in the device by 
looking at the system log
tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog
in a root terminal will display the last 50 lines of the system log.

Margot,
I am sorry that you gave up on your sound.
I have one more idea may be you like to try it. In the past I had a problem
where too much time where assigned for a process to hold a sound device. So
in the kde control center (kcontrol not mcc) you need to change parameter
in
Sound -> Sound System. Check mark auto suspend if idle for: and change time
to about 1 second . Then in the LookNFeel -> Sytem Notification disable all
sound notifications.

Writing your own driver files?! Yikes, you really must want to use USB,

I'm really really sorry if this is a repetition or if it's been tried
already, but just in case, you may need to type first:

export PILOTPORT=/dev/ttyUSB1
=-=-=-=

Well, I spent most of Saturday working on this some more and here's what I
discovered to be the cause:  While this device is a Palm based device, it
is not a Palm.  It's a Kyocera 7135 Smart Phone with Palm software and I'd
thought that since it's a PDA with Palm software, that it would be the same
procedure.  Indeed, when using the serial port, it is the same procedure as
with a Palm PDA, but the USB sync has greater demands.

The upshot of it all is that there exist 2 files, drivers, which the USB
synch calls to get manufacturer information and starting addresses, etc.
These files, VISOR.C and VISOR.H need to have definitions of the device
being used, and that information is lacking for many non-mainstream
devices.  Scouring the Web some more results in a number of other people
who have had the same problem with a number of devices, and contacting some
of them reveals that no updated files are known to exist for the 7135.  I
may be able to modify these files with the appropriate information, but
that will have to wait until this weekend.  Until then it's serial sync for
me.

I mention this in case anyone else runs into the same problem with a USB
device.  Thanks to all of you who tried to help, especially HaywireMac.

Max

[newbie] Some MS Propaganda for ya (Funny)

[HaywireMac]

This is just priceless:

"Microsoft's Security Response Center in Redmond, Wash., is the
computing equivalent of a hospital emergency ward. When a problem comes
in the door the center's director, Kevin Kean, and his staff must
swiftly make an assessment: Is the security weakness detected in a
Microsoft software product only minor? Or is it possibly so serious
that, if exploited by a vandal's malicious code (as happened last month
with the Blaster worm) it might crash computers and networks around the
world?

If the threat appears grave, the problem goes immediately into the
center's emergency operating room, where it is attended to by a team of
Microsoft engineers, working nearly round-the-clock to analyze the
flawed code, anticipate paths of attack, devise a software patch to fix
the defect and alert millions of customers of the problem and the patch.

"It's triage and emergency response \x{2014} so it's a lot like an E.R.
ward in that sense," Mr. Kean observed last week.

The race to protect the computing patient has begun again."

Oh the Heroic and Brave Microsoft Software Engineers, working day and
night to protect the innocent! ROTFLMAO!

This is the best part:

"Other operating systems like Linux, Unix and Macintosh, experts say,
all have security vulnerabilities. "But they don't get the attention and
the attacks because, unlike Microsoft, the other technologies are not
deployed on 300 million computers," said Russ Cooper, a security expert
at TruSecure, a computer security company. "This is not just Microsoft's
problem."

We do have web access set up by I am pretty sure that the calendaring function 
does not work through that with non MS-aware clients (meaning active x 
components, etc.)  I could be wrong but my reading of the docs all say that 
you have to integrate the connection at the server level.

In the GUI enter the ESSID to be the same as your Windows Config.
It might be called a different name in Windows. Basically this us the name of 
the wireless network. If you do not know how to set it, leave it as "any"

Enter MODE=Managed

Enter the RATE=11M

Enter the Encryption key - This *must* be the same as in Windows
If your Windows key is an Ascii string then prefix it with s:
As in
s:my_key

If your Key is a Hex number then enter it as
AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

You can leave the other parameters blank.

If you get your IP address via DHCP from your wireless router then leave the 
dhcp box ticked. If not untick it and enter an IP address.

When you exit the wizard with 'Finish' the light on the wireless card will 
light and the interface will start working.  (If you got that encryption key 
right)

Do *NOT* press OK to exit the drakconnect GUI A bug will cause you to lose the 
config you just made.(Bug 1881- Still not fixed in 9.2) 
Instead exit with 'Cancel'

Thank you Derek. I am a bit confused. SMC has a driver for Linux. I already
installed it, and although in the installation some kind of file is not
found, I get the confirmation: "setup ok" in the end. What I do not know is
what to do with the driver or how to configure it. Do you think that I
should use the driver at76c503a? I do not get the adapter detected as in the
laptop. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

RC2 is not quite Canicule (Mandrake Linux 9.2). Cooker is not quite Canicule. 
Cooker has been frozen for quite some time, and an install from the cooker 
tree, or from ISOs built from the cooker tree, will *definitely not* give you 
Mandrake Linux 9.2. Close but _not quite._

As CMG has posted, the new version is scheduled to be available to Club 
members and Contributors when the box sets are ready, the rest of the world 
(people that use the free Download Edition) will wait at least two more weeks 
after that. Since this is the first time MandrakeSoft has listened to advice 
that the download edition should not be available until after box sets are, 
there are bound to be gremlins in the release channels.

Please be patient. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that wants Mandrake to 
survive.

The SMC2662W uses the atmel chip set.

There is a driver for that in Mandrake 9.1 The atmelwlandriver, but I find it 
quite unreliable and not that easy to set up.

There is an alternative driver at76c503a  which works a lot better.

There are instructions on how to compile it on my web site
http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=17

You may need to add the SMC device to the list of supported devices. My page 
describes how to do that.

Also do not forget to install the kernel-source RPM which matches the kernel 
you are using. The only other thing you need is the gcc compiler RPM.

Thanks very much, I am sorry I wasn't clear about what card I want to get
working. Actually I intended to get going the SMC external USB adapter in a
desktop machine. But what you tell me will help me to configure the 2Wire
card in the laptop. Actually in fact I need the wireless network in both the
desktop computer (with the SMC adapter), and the laptop (with the 2Wire
PCMCIA card). I'll do what you instruct me and I'll get back to you. If you
have some advise about the SMC adapter, it will be greatly appreciated.

I have a copy of that.  You have to run it at the server level, IIRC.  It does

So the card you are trying to get working is the "2Wire WiFi" PCMCIA card.?

The manufacturers web site does not give any details about the chip set used, 
but the picture looks like an Orinoco card. If it is, then setting it up in 
Mandrake is easy.

First make sure you have the wireless-tools RPM loaded using Mandrake Software 
Manager. Also make sure the pcmcia-cs RPM is installed (it should have been 
installed by default)

When you insert the card do you hear two 'beeps' from the speaker?
Are they the same tone or different tones?

When you then open Mandrake Control Centre>Networking
does it list the wireless interface in the box with a driver name?

When you go through the wizard does it say it has discovered a card?
And does it then present you with a list of wireless parameters for you to 
fill in?

I am not aware of any Linux Client that can integrate with exchange to provide 
full groupware capabilities currently.  That means calendar, etc.  If there 
was such a client, I would have migrated over to Linux at work as soon as I 
found it.  Groupware is the only thing holding me back since I can access 
email using an IMAP interface already.

There is a german project to create a Linux replacement for Exchange that can 
be used with Outlook clients and KDE clients, creating a shared environment 
that supports groupware capabilities including calendar, but you have to 
migrate from Exchange to the Replacement server.

Oh, sorry about that, I just thought any wireless configuration was the
same.

The modem-router is a 2Wire which on the back it says "Home Portal 1000SW"
(Provided by ISP)

The home portal is connected to one computer through an Ethernet card, and
to another (wireless) to a SMC receiver which is the (USB) SMC2662W, and to
a laptop with a (wireless) PCMCIA card "2Wire WiFi", apparently the only
model there is from 2Wire.

Everything works all right in WinXP. If you need any other info, I'll gladly
supply it.

[newbie] HP IJS 1.41

[Bryan Phinney]

To anyone who is interested.  Texstar built a src RPM package of the hpt ijs 
1.4.1 driver for Mandrake 9.1.  It is not in binary format, probably because 
he has already moved up to 9.2.  However, you can install the src and you 
should be able to issue the rpmbuild command to build and install the RPM for 
this driver.

Install the RPM, go to /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS and the spec file and tar gzip 
should be in that directory.  Simply issue the command rpmbuild -bb hpijs and 
it should build the binary package and then you can install it.  This will be 
built on your system so it should be compatible with no dependency issues.

If anyone has trouble, let me know and I will try to help out.

I have also installed that. but it doesn't change udma status. As per its 
documentation it provides driver for nvnet, nvaudio and patch for 
kernel-2-4-20 for agpgart. Have you installed patch and recompiled the 
kernel. If so how did you install the patch. Whether patch for agpgart will 
change mode of ide controller?

[newbie] Lexmark printer driver

[Ronan O'Hart]

Ok then
This problem has been driving me up the walls for a while
and resulted in some hair loss!!

I am running mandrake 9.1 and have a lexmark Z35 printer
I have downloaded the driver for this printer and installed it.

This is  where the problem starts
The driver has created its own folder in which to live in the following location
/usr/local/lexmark/z25-z35
THe problem is when I go in mandrake control centre to setup the printer the driver 
for my printer isn't there
Where do I have to relocate the driver to, to make this possible

Any help would be grateful
I can't aford to loose much more hair.

[newbie] MDK91 does not boot

[Frank Bax]

I have a system that initially had RedHat 7.2 on it, then I installed MDK91 
and setup for dualboot.  Everything was going very well until the machine 
lost power this morning. During bootup, the disk integrity checks 
failed.  The machine is in another city which I cannot get to right 
away.  We boot MDK91 and enter root password - then try "fsck /dev/hda5" - 
the root partition for MDK91 system - the error message indicates the disk 
has a feature to new for it to handle.  How is this possible and how do we 
get past it?  Booting to RH72 produces same errors (I think the MDK91 
partition is available fstab so I could migrate /home stuff).

Didn't know you could do that. Wouldn't that cause problems?

Sometimes, but if things don't work, you can just uninstall the 
offending package.  The thing not to do is ignore error messages about 
conflicts - that can land you in deep doo-doo.

Mainly just the themes and config files have changed, with some minor
changes to autoprops (ie. geometry is now called framegeometry...)

The old themes will not work *at all*, in fact Pek will crash quite
spectacularly trying to load an old theme, but i've got some spiffy new
ones, like the port of Bluecurve I showed in my screenshot. Shadowed
fonts are kinda neat...

The maddening thing is, last time I checked, the site hosting the devel
docs was down...but if ya need help with the config file (there are a
couple of new options) I'll send ya mine.

I haven't noticed any real problems, my keys and some other actions had
some problems, but not since I CVS'd last (yesterday).

Unlike any form of M$ Windows, you have a choice of the program that
manages your windows - hence Window Managers and Desktops. In the lead
are currently KDE and Gnome - but being that they're both very "resource
hungry" programs, some people opt for more simplistic means of managing
the programs that work within windows...XFCE4 is yet another means by
which to manage windows on a "desktop framework" - it's minimalistic and
configurable enough to do justice to low end machines...

Not to deviate too far from the subject - but I reckon there'll be a

in some "Socio-Historical" type museum online somewhere...just wish that
I had some pictuers nowadays of "Tadpole Holler" the way it was back in

phrases - like "Kentucky living" - as was what I had to deal with the
first year there...either which - as stated - NOT to deviate too far
from the subject...I was "selling" MS-Bob...and had a fair few
buyers...just cuz...since I was the ONLY real BBS in Hindman at the
time...and the only "trusted" source - aside from Thacker and Grigsby -
nowadays known as "TGTel"...gads...where does the time go?

OS/2 is running great on a machine here, BTW...with Win32 support added

[newbie] FWIW - was: CD-writer fails with CD-R but not CD-RW

[Douglas Bainbridge]

Hi, list.

FWIW - just in case anybody else has a similar problem:

CD-writer writes under Windows OK
Writes to CD-RW with cdrecord (and GUIs based on cdrecord) but will
*NOT*, absolutely *NOT*, write CD-Rs.


DIAGNOSIS:
If you have a reasonably modern, i.e. high-speed writer it may
experience problems writing CD-Rs at *LOW* speed and fail with errors:
"OPC failed "."Sense Code: Power calibration area error"
This doesn't happen with CD-RWs.

SOLUTION:
Change cdrecord speed=2(say) to ...speed=12 (for example) for CD-Rs.

Many thanks to a lot of people, particularly John Richard Smith, who
kept plugging and helped me plug, away at the problem to the end.

Do you have a removable drive, in particular a USB card reader? Or do
you have any network shares mounted by default?

Those can be a problem...

Can you give us the exact error message?

09/30/03

I have a Maxtor model 4W030H2 30GB drive I would like to make the Slave
in a
dual Master-Slave setup.

What is the correct jumper setting to make the Maxtor the Slave drive?

There are 4 pins across the top, and 5 pins across the bottom.

(Sorry, but in Outlook Express I can't seem to figure out how to post
this
in mono-space so the diagram below looks correct.)

top row:   pin1, pin2, pin3, no pin, pin5
bottom row:  pin1, pin2, pin3, pin4, pin5

This was an OEM drive I bought from a shop that was going out of
business,
and I didn't notice that at the time I bought the drive.

It came set with a jumper on (top pin 1 to bottom pin 1), and a second
jumper on (top pin 2 to top pin 3).

For the dual Slave mode, I'm currently using a jumper on (top pin 2 to
top
pin 3), and a jumper on (bottom pin 4 to bottom pin 5).  Is this
correct?

Hello, Budianto...here's someting to check:

* In your BIOS - turn off PNP OS

This can really screw up the MDK installation and all the settings
thereafter...if you do this, and can boot properly, once you've gotten
into XWindows (most likely KDE) - go through all the Mandrake Control
Centre properties - make sure you save any changes - and then reboot -
you might find you have a bit better time then...

I don't think the release version of Pek will work with XFCE, as it does
not have the appropriate "WM hints" to draw the window decor and such.

Compiling the current CVS is not much more involved though, in fact it's
the same unless you want the shadowed fonts, then you need imlib2-devel
and freetype-devel.

The menu part I'm not sure about, as you can see I don't run xfdesktop,
so that I can use the Pekwm root menu. To get the full Mandrake menu, I
believe you would have to use xfdesktop, but I am not sure how that
works, best to ask on the XFCE list, or maybe Stephen knows. Like I say,
I know Pek pretty well, but I'm not and XFCExpert... ;-)

The IconBox does not appear to work for me, I guess since I am not using
xfdesktop, but I never minimize apps anyway, so it's kind of a moot
point. I really just wanted the panel, system tray, and the settings
manager. I may eventually replace Gkrellm with just the appropriate
panel applets, I'm not sure yet.

Use drakgw for your basic Internet sharing connection, and then edit the file
/etc/shorewall/rules to add the lines


ACCEPT  net fw  tcp 4662
ACCEPT  net masq  tcp 4662
ACCEPT  net fw  udp 4672
ACCEPT  net masqudp 4672

That will open those ports from the Internet to the Firewall device itself, 
and to the 'masqueraded' network with your Windows computers on.

You merely need to add an entry for the specific log file that you want 
rotated to the /etc/logrotate.d directory.

Tell us which apps currently have log files that are not being rotated and we 
can help you edit the entries necessary to add them to the rotation schedule.  
Essentially, we need to know if the app is being run in memory all the time 
as a daemon or is inactive unless being used, like rpm.  If you tell me which 
kind, I can give you a sample logrotate file to add for that application.

On my system, I had to add entries for antivir, procmail, privoxy, pure-ftpd, 
among others.

One last thing.  If the log file is large in size already, you need to 
manually archive and swap it out.  Once you go past a certain time period, 
logrotate won't automatically pick it up.  I think that the standard rotation 
period is a week.

Oh, I got it. Yes, /etc/cron.daily contains logrotate
And logrotate.conf contains how often it will rotate the logs, more 
spesifically settings are stored in /etc/logrotate.d
And I've changed the time it is executed by crontab from 4am into 4pm when my 
server is still running during office hours.

Correct. anacron will schedule jobs to run that were not run by cron.
Logrotate is the actual package to compress the log files. Logrotate is 
installed by default in Mandrake, and a cron job is automatically placed in 
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
That file points to the logrotate configuration /etc/logrotate.conf, but you 
should not need to touch it. 
By default logrotate will compress all your log files and keep four weeks of 
compressed backups. Whenever you install a new RPM which requires loggging, 
then a file is dropped into /etc/logrotate.d to add that log file to 
logrotates job entirely automatically.

Yanki's tip may not be relevant to Margot, but it's one worth noting.  
It got rid of some intermittant annoyances with sound on my system.

Yes. 
Install the anacron RPM from Mandrake Software Manager, and all the cron jobs 
which are supposed to run on your computer at 4am, but cannot because your 
computer is not switched on at that time, will be run 15 minutes after you 
power on your computer.

One of those jobs tidies up your log files.
Do not be surprised if your computer goes crazy with disc accesses after you 
install anacron. You have a *lot* of log files to tidy :-)

Well if you tell us what the wireless hardware is and which driver you are 
trying to use we could help.
But you haven't
So we can't.

I have some files in the download area of my web site which will create 
'Mandrake Menus' for pekwm.
http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

I am running the released version of pekwm *not* the CVS, so it may not be 
quite the same.

Looks like I shall have to find time to try Todd's new RPMs. The popular 
reaction seems to be very positive.

Bear in mind that Slashdot cannot possibly keep up with the constant
changing flow of news and information - they can only display what they
can display - so sometimes feeds they get are a tad old...but hey, *I*
understand that you're having a hard enough time coping with something
as sophisticated and technical as Slashdot...we'll give ya another year
or two...(g)
