Tutto quello che devi fare è: 1. Dire semplicemente questa piccola preghiera per la persona che ti ha inviato il messaggio: Padre nostro che sei nei cieli, sia santificato il tuo nome venga il tuo regno, sia fatta la tua volontà, come in Cielo così in Terra, dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano rimetti a noi i nostri debiti come noi li rimettiamo ai nostri debitori e non ci indurre in tentazione ma liberaci dal male. Amen. 2. Poi, inviala ad altri dieci persone. Poco dopo, dieci persone avranno pregato per te e tante persone avranno pregato Dio per altre persone. Apprezza il potere di Dio nella tua vita, per fare ciò che a Lui piace. Se non hai vergogna di fare questo, per favore inviala. Gesù disse, Se tu hai vergogna di me, io mi vergognerò di te davanti al Padre mio. Se ami Dio e non ti vergogni delle cose meravigliose che ha fatto per te, invia questo messaggio a tutte quelle persone a cui vuoi bene! Ciao e...GRAZIE! (soprattutto a chi me l'ha mandata!!!) e.

I am not sure what the best way is to configure additional ram. Or how much to get, is there a point when it is wasted? 512? 256? 7?? Before you buy RAM, make sure you know how much RAM each slot can use. I have some motherboards that can only use 128 MBytes (64 MByte in each of two SDRAM(? - the 168 pin stuff) slots). Other than that, I don't think there is a real limit -- you may reach a point of diminishing returns. I.e., I usually find that adding more RAM is more useful than getting a faster processor. This has been the case for me in upgrading anything below 128 MBytes to 128 MBytes. I believe that this would continue to be the case upto 256 MBytes and maybe further. (Partially it depends on what you run on the computer.) I would try to add RAM until swap was never used. (In other words, add RAM, run it for a few weeks, and see when / if swap is used (by running top).) Somewhere between 768MB and 1024MB (IIRC), there is a point where you must start using what Mandrake calls the enterprise kernel to make full use of your RAM. I've never done this, and don't know where the enterprise kernel can be found but I understand it is readily accessible.

[newbie] Sorting mail, again...skinky, are you there?
I am _still_ trying to sort mail so that my wife's mail goes to her inbox and mine goes to my inbox. I was going to use a fetchmail/procmail setup, but never got it quite working when skinky told me about getmail. Getmail setup was a snap, and it works as you mentioned, skinky. BUT, I have one problem. I think it related to permissions, but I don't know how to fix it. I have getmail setup so that when I run it, it gets our mail and sorts it into two mboxes /var/spool/mail/his and /var/spool/mail/hers. I own both files and have rw. The group homemail is assigned to both files with rw permission. My wife and I are both members of homemail. We each have identical getmailrc files in our respective directories. When I log on, this works fine, and I got this far thanks to you, skinky. But when my wife logs on, getmail fails because it can't write to my mbox. I thought that since we were both members of the homemail group and that since it has rw permission, that she'd be able to write to my mbox, but apparently, getmail wants you to be the owner. Is there anyway to set this up so that both my wife and I can run getmail successfully? -Paul desperately seeking Linux Schwebel __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

xinetd is a more modern replacement for inetd... config files are in /etc/xinetd.d read them and learn, very simple.. as for your apache problem, take a look in /var/www/html that should point you in the right direction. don't use telnet, try ssh, (download terra term pro for windows if you need a free client) ssh is basically secure encrypted telnet.. telnet isn't installed by default, you will need to install it... and enable it in xinetd... but honestly, you should use ssh.. its much better, more secure, can copy files to and from, and anything else you might want. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alan Carpenter Sent: Tuesday, 27 November 2001 3:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] thanks...for the fix, and now two or three more question =) I wanted to say thanks to everyone who wrote me back with fixes for my usb problem.

Re: [newbie] DVD player?
As I understood it, the California guy was hosting DeCSS, having got it from the Norway. The DVD cops got him, not because he had the decryption keys, but because he or the person he got it from violated licensing agreements in the cracking process. The CA guy, of course, was never given the license agreement, and so didn't agree to it. He just took the crack as-is and posted it. And as it turns out, the guy he got it from in Norway may not have violated the law to crack the encryption either because he did it under some other national law that overrides agreements to not reverse-engineer when working to achieve interoperability (and he was trying to watch DVDs on his Linux box). And nobody can say for sure if the the Norwegian guy every actually agreed to the no reverse-engineering license argeement before cracking the key. He may have just nabbed it off the a DVD (which every CSS DVD contains), or whatever. Bottom line: the California guy didn't make (or violate) any agreement to get the decryption key, and there wasn't enough proof to prove that he got from anybody else who did. So I _think_ that this means he can do with it as he pleases, and so can anybody else who gets it from him. But as you say, Frans, it's not the Supreme Court, and you can be sure this is not over.

I installed from a CD I burned after downloading the ISO image right after 8.0 came out and i know that the burner didnt burn tin correctly, could it have messed up burning something else? if so what? Or am i going about this all wrong and should not be using netconf to generate ppp dial up scripts? On an aside, netconf seems to work flawlessly when configuring LAN nics.

This part went fine. I made a few backups (thank god!) and went into netconf to change ppp0 so that it could be controlled by any user. This was the only change made and netconf did not report any errors but now when anyone, root or a regular user, tries to run /sbin/ifup ppp0 the pppd daemon exits with either error #6 unable to lock the serial port, error #8 connection script failed, or error #17 which is serial loopback detection. The most common is error #17. The other 2 show up about 1 time in 10. After tring /sbin/ifup ppp0 about 100 times and double checking everything over and over again I finally gave up for the day and went back into netconf and changed it so that regular users could not control the device. Then went back and tried /sbin/ifup ppp0 and it started exiting with the same errors. Being totally frustrated i restored the backup i had made of /etc and then tried /sbin/ifup ppp0. It worked flawlessly. I then went home and ate turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy and washed it all down with a few cold ones while watching football.

Alan as copied from http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/errata.php3#usb, Error scenario: The computer locks up when shutting down or when stopping the usb service. Why: In certain cases, the usb-uhci module is broken for some usb devices. Solution: Modify your /etc/modules.conf file and change the line alias usb-interface usb-uhci to alias usb-interface uhci. The change will take effect after the next shutdown and will prevent the usb service from locking up the computer. Error scenario: The floppy drive is not accessible for use.

Re: [newbie] The problem with Linux
One comment I feel the need to respond to is the suggestion that we put things in weird places. There is a Linux Standard Base, and there is a File Hierarchical Standard adopted and we comply with it. We have had to move many things to do that over the last several distros, but we are there. Not a lot of other distros can claim that. In addition, we use integrated menus so that the desktop you try tomorrow will have a familiar menu arrangement and you don't have to be running KDE to use KMail or Konqueror or GNOME to use GNUCash or Galeon. In this structure we are consistent with Debian and Connectiva, but not the others. Helix Code (Now Ximian) GNOME has difficulty with that menu structure, and KDE KMenuEDit can cause problems if you use it AND menudrake for KDE menus (if you use KMenuEdit, then never use Menudrake for that same user). Similarly if you use Ximian, then select the option to use their menus. There is nothing weird about our placements. It is known as sponsoring and complying with standards so that there may someday be a nice commercial apps base for those who need them.
