Re: [newbie] One for JoeHill

[newbie] Viruses..........
Title: Message Dear List, I received two viruses (both sobig) from the newbie list..from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I would suggest getting a good antivirus program. I am using a combination of Norton, Trend Micro, AVG and Benign. AVG can be gotten for free, though I use the registered version. Benign is a wonderful program that just came out that neutralizes any suspicious mail. It can be secured from www.firetrust.com. There is a 15 day trial on it and then you have to buy the program. McAfee has a good program. I am using XP at the moment, but also have Lindows installed. I have the Mandrake 9.0 as well, but it is not installed at the moment. Having gotten a number of viruses from the Newbie list, I am surprised because I thought Linux was pretty much impervious to viruses. I don't know which of the above programs can be used with Linux.

Re: [newbie] Security alert
Hello Marco, Your message came from the www.bonzi.com site. They sell a program called Internet Alert which is a great firewall program, however i don't know if it would work with Linux. I have the Bonzi program myself, but i use it on XP. if you want a free firewall program, you can go to www.zonealarm.com they have both a free one and a paid version. another good firewall program that i use is the black ice program and of course norton sells a good one as well. i wouldn't worry about broadcasting your I P address, but if you do a lot of surfing, you should consider a firewall. i think Linux has a built in firwall, doesn't it.

Re: [newbie] Security alert
the site is not bogus. they do have a good firewall called Internet Alert which does in fact work. however, i doubt that it would work with Linux. not sure though. there are places where you can test your security online. if anyone wants to know the address, let me know.

Re: [newbie] -Question about Java Applet and Browser Upgrade andFlashplayer
Hi Todd and Dennis, More Questions.. I downloaded the sun java file. can you tell me how to execute the file, install it, and agree to the license. i got to the license but it doesn't show the whole thing. it shows more, but i can't get any farther that the more. i got the flashplayer installed, but the cards still will not open. could you go to www.castlemountains.com, then try to open the Daily Reflections applet. its a small angel and see if it will open for you. if it doesn't can you explain further what i have to do. i am lost at the moment. where do i execute the commands. i apologize for the stupidity, but i would appreciate any help. thank you, eric At 06:56 PM 10/5/2002 -0700, you wrote: Dear Todd and Dennis, Thank you very much for your help. Although I have been playing with computers since 1982 and know DOS and Windows pretty well, I am really new to Linux as far as installation. I will use the remedies you have given me and see if I can get things going. I am most appreciative. Thank You both. Eric At 05:17 PM 10/5/2002 -0700, you wrote: Hello, Eric: Okay, first of all, for me the cards seem to be working. Specifically, this is the link I tried: http://www.castlemountains.com/postcards/view.shtml?/bestfr.jav With that in mind, this is what you probably need to do: 1. Java First of all, I would probably get rid of kaffe and install Sun's Java instead. Type: rpm -q kaffe If it finds a package type the following to erase it: rpm -e kaffe Now download Sun's Java. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html Agree to the license and download: j2sdk-1_4_1-linux-i586-rpm.bin You probably don't need the whole SDK, but this will certainly work. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the file. To install type: sh j2sdk*bin Agree to the license. When it's done you can install the rpm (as root) with: rpm -ivh j2sdk*rpm Now that you've installed the java rpm, you need to add java to your path. To do so, we will edit /etc/profile. First make a backup in case something bad happens: cp -p /etc/profile ~/profile.backup Now edit /etc/profile (as root) and add the following lines just before the export statement: # Added by Eric PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/bin Your account will need to reread the /etc/profile before it works. When it works, you should be able to type which java (without quotes) and get the correct path returned. 2. Flash The easiest way to install Flash is to just use the rpm for Mandrake. This is available from the MandrakeClub site at http://www.mandrakeclub.com. The file is in the downloads section and requires a subscription. The rpm you are looking for is FlashPlayer-5.0-8mdk. This may eventually show up on the public download mirrors, but I can't guarantee that. The problem has to do with the license Macromedia has on FlashPlayer. I strongly expect the FlashPlayer rpm will be included with the Mandrake 9.0 boxed sets. When you find the rpm, type the following to install it (as root): rpm -ivh FlashPlayer*rpm If you are already a MandrakeClub member (as I am), this will be easy. 3. Configure Konqueror To configure Konqueror, go to Settings | Configure Konqueror. Click on Konqueror Browser, then the Java tab. Check the Enable Java globally box. At the bottom enter the path to java: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_02/bin/java At the bottom of the left panel, click Netscape Plugins. Check the Scan for New Plugins at KDE Startup box. In the Scan Directories, you might add $HOME/.mozilla/plugins. Click the Scan For New Plugins Button and then restart Konqueror. Assuming you were able to install the FlashPlayer rpm, the castlemountains site should now be working properly. On Saturday 05 October 2002 04:33 pm, Eric S.

Re: [newbie] Setting Up Modems, Printers, and a Home Network
To Anyone. I am using Mozilla browser, which I assume is a derivative of Netscape. I am unable to get any sound when I open up web pages. I have downloaded flashplayer, but can't seem to get it functioning. Can someone tell me how to get sound for my browser. Java is checked, but still no sound. I would really appreciate some advice.
