Re: [newbie] Palm OS vs Windows CE
I posted a message a while ago asking if anyone knows when the consumer version of Sharp Zaurus will come out. (The developer's version comes out in this month.) That was the only Linux pda that I liked. But after comparing that with clie.. I decided on clie, since I really like their design and stuff... And I dun have to wait for it to come out.

Re: [newbie] "TO:" Column In Email Readers
In fact, both Kmail and Netscape does have a "TO:" field to use to filter. Maybe you didn't really look that closely, because you *believed* that it didn't. But I dun get you when you say there's no "TO:" field. I can see the "TO:" field for all my emails. Do you mean when it's listing the emails on top, it only lists the subject, sender, etc of the emails the "TO:" field is not one of the things they list? Besides, I would say many people don't need the "TO:" field to decide whether the email is junk or not. The sender and subject already tells enough. I usually trash away emails before I arrive at the "TO:" field anyways. Sevatio wrote: > Good idea but your suggestion implies that there is a "TO:" field.

Re: [newbie] help~ lilo is gone~
ok.. The situation was.. My friend found the iso of WinXP.. So I tried installing that.. And I guess WinXP killed lilo.. But I kinda expected that so I had my Linux boot disk ready to use that to come back to linux and run lilo to install it back... And that's what I did... and it acted wierd when it started up and I somehow got linux booted but X can't start.. but I ran lilo anyways.. then that's when it told me it can't find boot.b... so I checked /boot/ and it's *really* empty (took me a while to really believe that it's empty.. and I dunno if it got killed by WinXP)... so I ran "upgrade" from the Mandrake cd... And it still didn't work. then I ran "install" w/o formating the / directory... and it still works.. but I'm able to use the boot floppy to get into linux and able start X.. But right now, the only files in my /boot directory are kernel.h and message. And I still can't install lilo since boot.b is missing... So there's no way to install the files for /boot? I'm using MDK 8.0... technically, if I didn't change anything, I could copy my boot files from my laptop (also MDK 8.0) to my desktop?
