[newbie] Mandrakes download site: where are the netscape rpms gone ?
Hello, I tried to update netscape. I checked several mirrors of the mandrake ftp server, in the update/6.1 dir there are netscape-com...rpms with 0 byte size. Where can I find the netscape 4.75 rpms for mandrake ? -- This mail was sent to you by using 100% pure Java technology.
Re: [newbie] bz2 files
** Reply to message from "Philip Ferguson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Tue, 19 Sep 2000 11:45:44 EDT Hello. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. What is the differnece between files with a .gz extension and files with a .bz2 extension? bzip2 is a new compressor that uses another compression algorithem like zip and compress. gzip, compres,... are very similar, bzip2 is totally different. After the great compression era in the 80s/beginning 90s the experts thought compression algorithms can't be improved anymore in great steps. Then in the ending 90s a guy (or more ?) found a totally different way to compress data and its better than 'the old way'. Especially on on uncomporessed wav files its much better compared to zip-based compressors. Bzip(2) is another expample to never give up to find a better solution there is sure one you only have to find it. How can I extract a file with a .bz2 extension? With b2zip -d. Type bzip2 --help for more paramters. There exists also a bzip command. Don't ask me whats the differecnce about b2zip and bzip, probably is b2zip an improved version of bzip. I don't use them often. .gz-files are still more used than -.bz2. mc probably handles this format now too. -- This mail was sent to you by using 100% pure Java technology.

Re[2]: [newbie] RPM question
Hello Lance, Donnerstag, Donnerstag, 2. März 2000, you wrote: Another question that i have is, that kdevelop asks for kdoc, but the mandrake distribution hasn't a kdoc rpm. Where can I get the right rpm of kdoc ? LB Try http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ByName.html LB This is normally where I start when I need to find something (and it normally LB has it). LB You might also find something like that at the kde homepage. I found a step by step installation for RedHat 6.0 (Madrake 6.1 is based on this, afaik)it tells which packets are needed with direct links on the kdevelop-homepage. Kdevelop asks for the source files of kde to generate some documentation, where can I find the right source files for my mandrake distribution ? LB Did you check on your installation cd? If not there, try rpmfind or kde LB homepage. Yes in the meantime I found that site on my own, it is great !!! I found there some other interesting programms but most of them need additional packets that don't come with the mandrake cd. You have to search for the additional libs, programms, and they need again additional packets, that's anoying. Is there a tool that automatically downloads missing packets when a new rmp is installed that would be a great help. Best regards, burlingtonmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
