  me to check my email from Hotmail a la Outlook Express?
 
 all of them, you just need something to negotiate access to hotmail:

 How do I delete a directory that contains files and more directories. I want to 
erase everything in the folder. Command Line please.  I hated the command line 
but its like crack, very addictive. Its actually easier and much more efficient then 
the gui. If your not using it I recommend learning as much as possible.

Re: [newbie] Large files with name Magic*

2001-12-23 Thread Hal Wigoda

 My hunch, vague as it is, sounds like cookie files,
either from Netscape or youe windowing service.


 Hi,
 I ran out of space on my linux partition (nasty business). When I went
 looking for the reason, I found 5 very large ( 1 Gigabyte) files in
 /tmp.  These files all had the name Magic*. I deleted the files and
 recovered the space. Before I deleted the files df showed 100% usage.
 After I deleted the files df showed 41% usage. Does anyone know what
 these files were  where they came from?
 
 I use linux MD 7.2,  netscape 4.76.
 
 Thanks
 Charles

 The apache faq addresses this problem over at www.apache.org.  I had the same

 out the cause despite lots of reading.
