 Hi all,
 
 My wife is Chinese and get lots of Chinese emails and likes to read Chinese
 web pages of course. Unfortunately, I was so far not able to find the correct
 setting to enable Chinese Language Support for Kmail or Netscape and
 Konqueror. Even with big5 selected the thing does not work. Any ideas? I am
 using MD7.2 English.
 
 Thanks
 
 Hektor
when you install md 7.2, did you install option for chinese big 5 / gb?

 ouch, sorry
 
 seems that outlook express turn my setting back to HTML format.
 (still using windoze coz I got WinModem, recommend me the right modem.
 I mean cheap, fast, and sure it isn't winmodem)
 

dynalink made some excellent internal and external modems, including the
rare PCI based Linmodem, which is a software modem with Linux drivers. 
I had used their ISA modem prior to changing to cable internet, and have
no complaint.

recently i was also pleasantly surprised to find that Mitsubushi diamond
manufactured an external modem that is compatible with Linux and SCO
Unix.  this was a surprise to me, because i am starting to find alot of
winmodems among the el - cheapo external modems as well.

[newbie] i would like feedback on a system configuration ...

[Aston]

Greetings.  I would like some feedback on a power user workstation I am
considering to purchase.  I am particular interested in whether the
system will work with Linux almost out of box (ie I am interested in a
smooth installation).  I am considering either Mandrake 7.2, Redhat 7.0,
or SuSE 7.0.  In the near future, it will also be running VMware
workstation for Linux :

{
AMD 1.1 GHz CPU
MSI K7T Pro 2A Motherboard with onboard AC97 sound
256MB SDRAM PC133

Quantum Atlantis AS 30GB E-IDE HDD  ATA 100MB/sec  (7200 rpm)  2MB
buffer
or
IBM Desktar 30GB IDE HDD ATA/100 (7200 rpm) 2MB buffer

32MB Riva TNT2 AGP Graphics Card
Panasonic 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive
Pioneer 16X DVD-ROM Drive
Sony Internal SCSI CD-RW (12x8x32)
Tekram DC315U PCI SCSI Controller Card
ATX Medium Tower Case with 300w Power Supply
Standard PS/2 Keyboard
Genius PS/2 Scroll Mouse

and probably a Philips 17 inch Monitor (107E) or a Samsung 17 inch
Monitor
}

I imagine the main problems will be the onboard AC97 sound and the hard
drive with ATA/100.  i have noticed some discussion regarding hard
drives with ATA/100, and I am under the impression that the latest
stable kernel does not support hard drives with ATA/100.  Is this
correct?  If so, what exactly do I have to do to make the kernel work
with ATA/100 without waiting for 2.4 kernel to come as part of a
distribution.

Regarding the onboard sound, how much hacking will I need to do to get
it work, or should I just get the Creative Vibra PCI128 Sound Card?

I apologize if this has been extensively discussed before.  Due to time
constraint, I don't always follow every topic in the discussion group.

Thanks All.

 I find it utterly amazing that this kind of thing still happens!


i belong to a macintosh discussion group as well, and i have to say that
this had happened only twice, since then i think the listmoms have set a
filter on the subject line (my memory might be wrong here).  since then,
i have never seen any removal requests ...  it's a lively discussion
group, with average of over 50msgs per night for me, so i'm sure there
would have been people who unwittingly signed up not knowing the volume
of the emails they would be getting.  

would the list moms (ok ok, list administrators) here be able to filter
out these messages, and set up some form of automatic responses?
