Re: [[newbie] HP Deskjet 722C]
If you need a good printer try any of the epson inkjets (600-800)... they freakin' rock in linux.

Thanks, Bryan Moorehead Newbius Linux Ignoramus Hi Bryan, I'm a newbie also, but I believe that your HP 722C requires windows software to work. In other words the printer equivalent of a "winmodem". One of the gurus on this list may have a work around for you, especially since you are networked with an NT box. I believe you'll have to set up SAMBA to get NT to act as the print server. I'm assuming that you haven't tried this as you don't mention it Having never configured it before, I'm not sure how to go about doing that OTOH, if you figure it out, I hope you'll send me detailsI'm looking for a good inkjet printer myself... :-) John

Re: [newbie] Unpredictable Netscape closing?
I had the same thing happen, I'm not sure why this worked but what i did was delete all of my settings ( email address, home page, mail servers) out of the preferences menu... i then closed netscape, re-opened and setup a dummy profile (wrong email address, no mail servers.) closed, re-opened, and set back up with the correct information and it worked.

[newbie] hard drive problems
Ok, this really sucks. My hard drive isn't unmounting properly when i shut down. Each time i reboot or halt the system it gives me a message usually like "/dev/hda2/ device or resource busy." When i start the system back up this causes a check to be forced. It has typically found .5% non-contiguous blocks. This line typically receives a PASS response from the system. Any idea what I could be doing wrong, or is there a way to forcibly unmount the hard drive? I realize that I have probably left alot of info out so feel free to request more.
Re: [newbie] RPMs (?)
For the nth time. Mandrake 6.0 sucks on anything less that a 586... all of the packages are optimized for the pentium architechture. It would occur to me that MandrakeSoft Tech support should have probably asked that right up front. "Noonan, Mr Sean P." wrote: I bought Mandrake-Linux so that I could get help if I ran into a stumbling block. I'm pretty much a newbie to the UNIX world with only a few months of FreeBSD experience under my belt. I therefore decided to PURCHASE Mandrake instead of downloading for free so that I could ask a question if something really bad happened. Something really bad happened. I emailed support and got a half-ass answer. I replied and told them so. They told me that they only support "installation of the OS" but I believe my question falls within that realm. My problem: I just purchased and installed Mandrake 6.0 and clicked on the "updates" icon within KDE/X. I chose a local mirror. The program came back and gave me several RPMs that needed to be upgraded. I clicked on the button that said something like "go get the updates". It got the updates without a problem. However, upon trying to install the updates, I got an error messages telling me that the RPMs were for a "different architecture". Indeed, the RPMs the update utility received had "i586" in their names. I'm running on a 486, not a 586. I've checked the official FAQ, unofficial FAQ, Deja, etc. Nothing.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 6.0 install continually hangs
try ftp.linux-madrake.com Andy Goth wrote: Actually I've tried both the Mandrake and RedHat 6.0 installs and they do the exact same thing and hang in the same place. Plus I wouldn't think that pentium optimizations would cause a hang on the install before anything really happens. If they both hang in the same place, that points to a different issue. Possibly an incompatibility with something in your PC. Pentium optimizations also imply Pentium opcodes which don't exist on the 486. Any program compiled with a Pentium specific compiler could fail. I don't know which items in Mandrake are compiled specifically for Pentium, but I suspect probably all of them are. That would seem to be the easiest way, as it should only affect the make file. While on the subject, how can I (or anyone else) obtain a version of Mandrake-Linux that's compiled for a 486 (or some other processor)?

uh, hi. Have you been programming "Java" for long? Because the language
you're showing here is Javascript, not Java. It's a completely different
language, and there is no way to have inline Java with html statements as
Java is (more or less) a compiled language while Javascript is interpreted
(and can be parsed by browsers on the fly along with HTML statements). Or
am I wrong about this?
and anyway, what's your point? Every programmer can write bad code that
loops badly - and the code in your example here can be done much more easily
within a loop. That is, if you actually want to create a useless web page
that crashes people's browsers that have JAVASCRIPT enabled, not java

Subject: [newbie] Exploit in Java for Netscape
I found a Exploit in All Internet browsers that support Java. The only way
this
works is to have Java Running..
Here it is though:
BODY onLoad="alert('Welcome to my test! Full of examples, tutorials,
scripts,
and links! All for FREE!! Check it out!');" onUnLoad="confirm('Are you
sure
you want to leave this
page?');parent.close();parent.close();parent.close();parent.close();parent.

Don't buy a new fan. Your machine is still under waranty. Go to http://www.e4me.com/ As far as Linux goes, I'll get you a copy. The only part of your system that won't work with it is your modem, but CompUSA has a good one right now for about $30. begin:vcard n:Bullough;Bert tel;work:1(888)275-2643 ext 126 x-mozilla-html:TRUE url:http://home.rmci.net/bert adr:;; version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-cpt:;-1 fn:DirtMerchant end:vcard
