Re: [newbie-it] ancora su emacs...
In un altro luogo e in un altro tempo, Emiliano La Licata esclamo': quando lancio emacs parte la versione 20.7 con il caratteristico stile con lo sfondo verde per intenderci, quando lancio emacs 20.7 parte la versione in questione con uno stile diverso, sfondo biancastro carattere nero. Sei sicuro che uno non sia emacs (quello verdino) e l'altro xemacs (la versione per X a sfondo bianco)? Se non mi sbaglio al momento 'emacs' e' un link simbolico a xemacs, se vuoi avviare quello testuale (un qualcosa di simile a emacs-x.x.x-nox) devi andarlo a cercare. Sarebbe possibile fare in modo che quando lancio emacs parta la versione 21.7 con il caratteristico stile in verde?

And, if you don't have the manual for the motherboard anymore, try to give us a model number. (I'm not sure that 200 megahertz genuine Intel motherboard pins it down -- does the 200 mhz refer to the max. processor speed of to the memory bus speed -- if the latter, it's a fairly recent motherboard and I'd expect to be able to put a lot of memory (more than 128 MB) in the dimm slots. But just for perspective, the motherboard I've used as a standard for several years (I've started replacing them recently) can use simms and dimms in certain specific combinations (I don't know what that does to the overall memory bus speed -- someone told me all the memory would run at the speed of the slowest simms), but the maximum size dimm (in each of two slots) is 64 MB. So I run these motherboards (in Linux) with 128 MB. Like I said, check your manual, and if you don't have your manual, search the Intel site for more info, or publish the model number here, so maybe somebody with the same motherboard can help you.

Re: [newbie] Upgrading memory
et wrote: MOST times you can _not_ mix, in fact I do not ever remember a MOBo where you can mix 128 pin and 72 pin. Just for the record, my old standard motherboard does allow this, with some limitations. It has 4 simm slots and 2 dimm slots, you cannot use both slot 1s. In other words, you can use all 4 simm slots and only the 2nd dimm slot, or you can use both dimm slots, but only the 3rd and 4th simm slots. (And, in addition, as I think I mentioned in an earlier post, the dimm slots are limited to 64 MB. each.) (Hmm, now that I think about it, I might have one machine running with both types of RAM. I'll have to do some looking around. If so, I left it that way, so I must have thought it was an improvement. If I can confirm that, I'll write again.) And, I've been told (but don't know for a fact), that if you do use both types of slot, all the memory runs at the speed of the slowest type. I've seen the motherboard with a couple of different brand names, I usually refer to it as a TX-Pro II, oftentimes with a manual that simply says Mainboard.

But just for perspective, the motherboard I've used as a standard for several years (I've started replacing them recently) can use simms and dimms in certain specific combinations (I don't know what that does to the overall memory bus speed -- someone told me all the memory would run at the speed of the slowest simms), but the maximum size dimm (in each of two slots) is 64 MB. So I run these motherboards (in Linux) with 128 MB. Like I said, check your manual, and if you don't have your manual, search the Intel site for more info, or publish the model number here, so maybe somebody with the same motherboard can help you. Randy Kramer Dear All, Thank you for your thoughts. I never did have a manual for it, wish I did. Is the model number only on the board? I guess the best way to get all of the info is to open up the machine again. I will do that, if needed, but is there another way? I copied my info below from the system info for the processor: processor 0 vendor_id GenuineIntel cpu family 5 model4 model name Pentium MMX stepping4 cpu MHz 200.459 fdiv_bugno hlt_bug no f00f_bugyes coma_bug no fpuyes fpu_exception yes cpuid level 1 wpyes flags fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mmx bogomips 399.76 I knew that you are not supposed to mix different kinds of memory so my plan was to take out the simms and put in two 256 megs of sdram dimm ram into the dimm 168 pin slots. I thought that might work for getting my much desired 512 megs of ram. Will this make a big difference for my speed given the processor info above? Thanks for the great thoughts and suggestions.

Marcia said 'genuineintel', but that really says very little. Intel makes several versions of all their models. Keepin it simple, that boils down to 'retail', 'OEM', and 'OEM ONLY' versions. The latter being spec boards like found in Dells and other ready mades. These boards are stripped to the bones (by spec), Intel doesn't support 'em, and they usually have a spec version Phoenix bios. I suspect it's an OEM ONLY spec since many of those boards only support 128 ram, usually 2 - 64mb sticks max. Intel retail boards, specially their high end server stuff is renowned for stabillity, but come in last place for performance and compatibiltiy with anything non-Intel. They hardly own up to their spec board versions, mostly I believe tryin to hide they even make the stuff. Bios string will probly be more helpful than FCC # in identifying the board. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Help with Evolution
I'm assuming Evolution is looking at the permissions on the signature file itself (or the directory it's in?). I don't think it's Evolution itself that is telling you you don't have permissions. Check the file permissions. Perhaps you moved or created the file as root? As far as putting a line through deleted messages... This is a simple security feature to allow you to recover messages you didn't mean to delete. It puts a line through until you expunge the folder (CTRL-E). That way, if you realize you didn't want to trash a message, you just undelete it. If you don't like this behavior you could always just create a folder called Trash and move messages you want to get rid of there. You'll still have to go to that folder and do a select all then delete them but at least they'll be out of the main folders. Also, if you go to Tools - Mail Settings - Other (tab) you'll see a check box for Empty Trash Folders on Exit. If you choose this messages with a line through them will be deleted automatically at exit. Hope this helps.

You didn't actually need to upgrade gcc. If you check the configure options, you'll find the option to --disable-gcc-checking. Mandrake was very nice to patch their built version of gcc for us.

I've been compiling MPlayer for some time, and each time I've used --disable-gcc-checking and I've had no problems, bug related that is, with it since. With the new versions, make sure you copy the MPlayer-0.90pre5/etc/codec.conf and MPlayer-0.90pre5/etc/input.conf to ~/.mplayer. There have been some changes made to it regularly. tdh -- T.

He had spent nearly a week at a client's site, billing that client for his time there, just to get a 3rd network card installed onto an NT4.0 box, until that Friday, I visit the site to see if he needed a hand. I offer my help, and his response was what do you know? Youre just a kid. I neglected to answer that, and proceeded to change the conflicting IRQ to one that was available. 3 minutes is what it took for me to solve a problem that a guy with a $15000 education couldn't do in a week. The bill worked out to a little over $3000 to the client for a dumb kid to configure a NIC in 3 minutes... is this the kind of service that's good for business? His entire lifestyle (wage, ie new car, decent house etc.) was based upon a title, not the product of his efforts. I'm sorry to all you out there that ARE MCSE's... I'm sorry that you had to spend so much money to be mocked by someone like me who can literally run circles around your knowledge of computers (There ARE some who actually do know a lot about computers, but I can guarantee that the knowledge you possess did not come from any of Microsoft's training regimes). What do you do when windows doesn't start? Is re-install the only solution there is? I ask those of you who ARE MCSE's this: In a production environment, is it acceptable for a reboot to be required on your server when you install an upgrade (aka. Service pack), change an ip, or create/delete partitions on drives? Is uptime #1 on your priority list? Is money for licensing costs an endless resource? What about Security/privacy, would you like your server formatted one night because the manufacturer of your product didn't worry about getting it right the first time, and just said let's release it, and we can fix it later with 54 hotfixes and service packs? Do you like the fact that any sort of Customization to the operating system itself will either get you sued or imprisioned? Have you ever wondered WHY Microsoft OS'es have such a bad reputation? If you ever actually use another OS, you will see what it is that creates this opinion. Try it! And you wont even have to pay anything to do so... The problem here is that you have become cattle... follow what everyone else wants, don't think for yourself, don't ask yourself what you will really achieve, or how you will really benefit the company you work for. I have been hired as part of the IT staff, and none of us have had ANY official Microsoft training of any kind. In the interview I was asked what my training level was. My response was None, officially, then he asked if I would like to get my MCSE in the future, and I said a lot of what's in this post. Now I'm here.

While 99.99% of the e-mail that I send is plain text; I still do occasionally send an HTML message. Most of the time it's for such stupid things as birthday cards, or other special event greeting that I've constructed for a friend; but I always send them a plain text warning first to expect html in the next message, and I won't send it if they ask me not to. I do it mostly 'cause I hate generic greetings from card sites that exist only to mine e-mail addresses and spam the unholy hell out of everyone that ever got such a card. I'd rather send an html message once a year to someone than send them a greeting from sites like that. If someone requests 'don't send me any html' I'll usually park the card on web space that I have rights to and send them a link. Only happened once. BTW; you can send all of the HTML from Mozilla (Mail) Messenger that you like. You can even pre-set the format for anyone in the address book that prefers anything other than plain text. Duckin' outta the line of fire now. Charlie: You're cool. There's a huge difference between sending someone a personalized HTML birthday greeting, and posting in HTML to a widely-read mailing list.

Re: [newbie] Help with Evolution
As far as the line through deleted messages is concerned... while looking at your mailbox, go to the top menubar and click on View. Then click on: Hide Deleted Messages. Once you've done this, deleted messages will get a line through them and then disappear from your mailbox and go to your trash folder.
