Aggiungo che In particolare l'operatore ~x serve a specificare il messaggio che contiene l'header References e siccome nel pattern del comando di colorazione è specificato il mio hostname per ricevere colorati i messaggi a me indirizzati ecco perchè mi viene colorato pure il mio eventuale messaggio di risposta dalla mailinglist perchè il mio hostname è contenuto in References che tiene la traccia del thread, quindi il risultato è corretto. Effettivamente il terzo comando non è utile perchè vedere l'index tutto colorato in modo persistente non è poi così piacevole. Pertanto lascio le prime due righe in .muttrc con il colore dipendente dal flag ovvero dall'operatore ~N e ~O che sta rispettivamente per messaggi nuovi e vecchi non letti a me indirizzati tramite l'operatore ~x.

Re: [newbie] questions about mdk 9.1
Looks to me like your .kde user is corrupted because all the other desktop GUI's work. Save the stuff you need from .kde (your address book is a big one), then rename the ~/.kde directory to something like .OLDkde. Try starting KDE again. It will probably work, creating a new ~/.kde in the process. You will lose all of your desktop settings, including mail settings, and have to recreate them from scratch, but other than that, no harm done.

[newbie] Newbie qmake configuration for Md 9.1
Hi All
If one desires to use compile Qt programs with Md 9.1 one should be aware that
as usual a few files were left off the distribution CD.
This time the one of the critical files is libqt.so.
Attached is a newbie configuration that will compile the simple helloworld.cpp
program from O'Reilly. Program Is attached. This configuration may or may not
compile the more advanced hello.cpp program found in the examples.
My personal feelings on this is it should work on the hell.cpp program but it
have not tested it yet.
The following files were altered.
1. /home/{user}/.baschrc
2. /usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf
Copies of the modifies files follows.
Newbies please note: When one test a configuration file it is best to make an
original copy and a test copy. I usually use {for Mandrake 9.1}
file_name.Original-Md91 and file_name.test_copy. This will save you a lot
of grief.

Hi Bill I had this problem going from 8.2 to 9.0 and, through ignorance more than anything else, lost everything. Everything is exactly how you described it. The problem is that if you just copy everything back you'll find it's all out of synch. Not even the address book will work correctly. The fix for KMail, assuming that's what you're using, initally sounds pretty drastic. Install KMail. Do NOT run it. Copy your mail directory back to your home directory. Now run KMail for the first time. You'll find your mail is there where it should be.Finish configuring it. Opening KMail causes it to write its own Mail directory and fill it with intial files. This appears to confuse the heck out of it when you reopen KMail. You'll see everything but none of it will work. I couldn't find a way to fix that without uninstalling KMail. I was forced to do this then it all worked. It appears to treat the existing Mail directory as an upgrade and reads all the information correctly. I hope this helps. ttfn John KAB is much easier.

The below is from my firestarter log, are these incoming or outgoing hits to earthlinks news servers? time:Jul 26 09:53:09 in:eth0 out: port:40478 source:news03.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 09:54:24 in:eth0 out: port:40480 source:news04.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 10:02:21 in:eth0 out: port:40479 source:news01.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 10:03:57 in:eth0 out: port:40478 source:news03.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 10:06:37 in:eth0 out: port:40479 source:news01.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 21:18:42 in:eth0 out: port:42611 source:news02.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 21:28:47 in:eth0 out: port:42611 source:news02.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:699 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 21:34:44 in:eth0 out: port:42611 source:news02.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:1440 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown time:Jul 26 21:35:29 in:eth0 out: port:42612 source:news01.west.earthlink.net dest:192.168.1.2 len:699 tos:0x00 protocol:tcp service:unknown I'm still confused about things like this, of course a lot of simple things confuse me. -- Regards Chris A 100% Microsoft free computer Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 9:41pm up 35 days, 3:57, 6 users, load average: 0.24, 0.17, 0.12 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] IEfavorites to Mozilla (or any browser) bookmarks
Hi, I've searched for this seemingly simple question and I have yet to find an answer. Is there a way to convert IE favorites to Mozilla bookmarks? It is not obvious in any of the browsers (Galeon, Mozilla, Firebird, Konq). Even Google didn't help me out on this one. tia, Bill W. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

All changes should be made in the system bios--I've done a lot of SCSI installations, and I've never reset the SCSI bios.

There is a setting in there for bootable CD-ROM, and it must be enabled in order to boot from a CD **if the CD-ROM is SCSI**. Obviously, if the CD-ROM is IDE, this won't matter. In my case, I have a SCSI CD-ROM. The reason is that if the CD-ROM is SCSI attached, the motherboard doesn't know about it, only the SCSI controller does. booting from SCSI and Harddisk in my system bios, choosing CDROM, Floppy, Zip, or whatever. Then try it again. If that works, don't forget to turn it on again at first boot, after install. If that doesn't work, I would make a boot floppy and try starting the install that way. Last, there is always the hard disk install (I have had to do that once, but the system was ide, not scsi). On Friday 25 July 2003 11:54 am, Miark wrote: I have 8.2 on my gateway/firewall machine.

If I go into the SCSI bios and monkey with it that the drive is basically hidden, I can boot to CD; but because the hard drive is hidden, I can't install! The comp's bios is set to boot from CD first, but the SCSI always takes over. How do I exit this loop? Miark __ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

In Netscape or Mozilla for Winsnooze one can import IE Bookmarks where they are changed to one HTML bookmark file. That file is identical to a Mozilla for Linux bookmark file. I am not sure if Moz for Linux can do the import, but if you wish to try: Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/Tools/Import Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

Re: [newbie] IEfavorites to Mozilla (or any browser) bookmarks
Install Mozilla for Windows, and import the IE favorites to Mozilla. Copy the bookmarks.html file for Winsux Mozilla to your .mozilla directory. The good news is you'll only have to do this once, because after using Moz's tabbed browsing and popup disabling function, you'll never want to use IE again.

Re: [newbie] IEfavorites to Mozilla (or any browser) bookmarks
As far as i can tell, the best way to do this is from within IE. I think i have 5.? at work, and the newest one here, and both have an option to export favorites to netscape i think. If you do that, mozilla will happily import them, or if you want that to be your entire file, you can just copy it to wherever your bookmarks.html is. for me it was ~/.mozilla/default/kktv743s.slt/bookmarks.html If you have no acess to IE, you can zip the favs up and i'll give it a shot here. (i promise not to snoop at which pr0n sites you use...) 'Course, you'll owe me a beer for making me boot into windows again. :) HTH, eric On Sat, 26 Jul 2003 21:08:45 -0400 Bill Winegarden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've searched for this seemingly simple question and I have yet to find an answer.

[newbie] emacs has bash builtins
I just stumbled on this: If you are editing a shell script (ie if it starts with #!/bin/sh) in emacs (gnu 21.2), it has helper sections for inserting for loops, if statements, etc. (insert menu) Could be useful when you're getting started with scripts. So far i have just been starting with copies of other scripts, but i'll see if this learns me faster... Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] OT: ad blocking
I have been trying out a technique for ad-blocking i saw on slash-dot: someone made a huge list of common ad-sites and made a hosts file where the names get sent to 0.0.0.0 So now, almost always, i am spared the flashes, pictures, etc of ads. Less download time and less eye clutter. I'll send the hosts file if anyone is interested Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I've tried to get a working postfix configuration where I could get a number of hosts to say 451 no spam here rather than just filtering out. It could be useful, especially for hinet.net etc. who continually try to send 400K or larger spams (I am not exaggerating) with 451 no speekee chinkee :) or some such.
