Re: [newbie] stupid mandrake won't launch realplaer 8
Well assuming you installed it from the rpm ...realplay should be in.. /usr/X11R6/bin/realplay so either you installed the wrong one or you fscked it up. So it isn't stupid mandrake that YOU don't want to listen to, it is stupid lusers IT doesn't want to listen to.

I even use the menu uditor and I use full path /usr/local/RealPlayer8/realplay and nothing happens so I clicked 1000 times and still worthless click. damn it I am very pissed off!

Re: [newbie] mini linux distro recommendations
Just wonderingdoes anyone know of a floppy distro with reiserfs support? I use toms boot disc and while it is great for hacking my friends broken windows, I can't actually use it on my own Linux..ironic huh? :) On Wednesday 04 July 2001 06:03, Brandon Caudle wrote: www.loaf.org www.linuxrouterproject.org Brandon Caudle - Original Message - From: Fireman71 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Newbie Mailing List Mandrake [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 12:19 AM Subject: [newbie] mini linux distro recommendations Not really related to Mandrake but I am looking for a mini linux distro (under 20 meg and preferably one just one floppy) that i can load onto an old 386 computer and configure to act as an internet masquerading / firewall machine.

Re: [newbie] ./ .... why?
Yeah there is one very good reason, it is called security. lets say you DO add ./ to you PATH in bash_profile. All a nasty person has to do is write a shell script called ls that contains the line rm -rf / and save it in a directory on your machine, say /etc. next time you are in /etc and type ls your entire filesystem will be destroyed. Obviously this is damned unlikely to happed to your home desktop machine but on the large networks where Unix and Linux are used, such a security hole would render the whole system nearly as volitile as windows.

I know, it's easy enough to add it to .bash_profile or wherever, but is there a justifiable reason why Linux makes you specify that the program you want to execute is in the current directory? xml version=1.0 standalone=yes encoding=UTF-8 mumblethis is so weird.../mumble /xml hehe, sorry...

Re: [newbie] Sound recording
On Sunday 17 June 2001 16:11, L.V.Gandhi wrote: In windows music jukebox can take input from mic, line in or mixer and record the song. Is there any software, preferably GUI, based in linux. When I used grecord, it needs source only from line in. Even when line input is there, it couldn record as device was being used by playing program in this case Tv tuner card. Where as in windows using Jukebox, i could record sound. with cat /dev/audio and sox, I could get sound recorded, but it was only noise may be stopping was done using ctrl+c. This didn't create proper EOF for wav file. Any solution will be appreciated Try using the command rec as it deals with sox on your behalf, as for source selection, in the end i found i HAD to use kmix to do the selecting. hope that helps a little bit.
