Re: yum/apt-get (was Re: Fedora)
Buck staggered into view and mumbled: Hopefully Fedora will pick it up from there. To me, it would make sense that Fedora picks up the up2date program if for no other reason than to attract financial support from those of us willing and able to pay the $50 - 60 per year. Up2date will be in Fedora Core, as per an earlier post forwarded from the Fedora list. We will all still have the chance to support Red Hat financially, even without buying RHEL. From the looks of things we will have 3 choices in the Core for getting updates: Up2date for the price they set for subscriptions of Fedora systemsand the choice of apt-get or yum for 3rd-party free repositories. Personally, I like apt-get cause I find it easy to use, but Up2date is probably the best bet all around concidering it isn't necessarily good to have to wate for a 3rd-party repository to pick up the latest security fix, even if they do get it within 2 to 3 days. Support Red Hat, the things they believe in and the community they work so hard for. Subscribe to RHN. Fedora will allow you to do it.

Re: Fedora
Buck staggered into view and mumbled: I think that the real problem is that we once had available the download of the grand package and updates for $60.00 and now we can only get a part of the package and updates for $349. Sticker shock to those of us used to free. Actually, the way I read it, we will still be able to get the download of the full package. There will still be a full rawhide - beta - release cycle. You will be able to download the final version of Fedora Core without having to worry about using a test version. It will be stable. The updates will also be provided in a timely manner, or else the package that can't be updated in a timely manner will be dropped from the distribution. I am still not cleas as to the future update policy. I do know one of two things. Either updates will be done through RHN/up2date for $60/year as always, or they will be done through apt-get or yum for nothing. The future really isn't clear on which method they will use for updates of Fedora at this point. HTH.

Virtual hosts in Apache (URGENT)
Hi. I am trying to host more than one domain on my IP address to serve more than one web site. My old domain was princenet.sytes.net and the new one is prince.homelinux.org. I want to serve a web page at princenet.sytes.net that explains that my address has changed and the web site has moved to prince.homelinux.org. The real site will be hosted on prince.homelinux.org. I would also like a catch-all virtual host that will serve a page on any other domain that points to my machine that will allow someone to email me if they want to serve a site at that domain, but that's not a priority at this time. As per the documentation, I added the following lines to my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file for Apache 2.0.40-21.5 on Red Hat 9: NameVirtualHost * VirtualHost * ServerName prince.homelinux.org DocumentRoot /var/www/html /VirtualHost VirtualHost * ServerName princenet.sytes.net ServerAlias *.princenet.sytes.net:80 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/moved /VirtualHost I am using the ServerAlias directive for princenet.sytes.net because the dynamic DNS with which the domain is registered allows wildcards as in www.princenet.sytes.net or mail.princenet.sytes.net to all point to my computer. The problem is that when I start httpd I get the following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~# service httpd start Starting httpd: [Sun Sep 21 21:40:48 2003] [error] VirtualHost _default_:443 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~# and all requests sent to the server receive a 400 bad request error. As far as I know I followed the docs to the letter as found on http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts as stated in the config file. I also tried adding a port address to the NameVirtualHost directive as suggested by the error message, but it then shows the page indicated by the first VirtualHost block and ignores all subsequent VirtualHost blocks. What am I doing wrong? How could the docs be throwing me off so badly? Could the docs somehow be wrong or something? :O Thanks for any help!

1.62MB floppy disks
Hi all, I have foematted a floppy disk as shown below: $ fdformat /dev/fd0u1680 $ mkdosfs /dev/fd0u1680 Upon completion I end up with a 1.62MB floppy disk. WinDoze XPt sees the disk and all files on it. It sees it as a 1.62MB disk. My laptop with its USB floppy drive sees it as a 1.62MB disk and sees all its files. But when I try to $ mount /mnt/floppy after rebooting the PC into Linux RH9 it sees a garbled filesystem. It will mount the disk with no errors, but when I do $ ls /mnt/floppy I get nothing but weird garbage, most of which is a string of characters I can't show here due to the limitations of my keyboard. Is there a way to automacally format a disk of this format without having to know before I put the disk in whether I should $ mount /mnt/floppy or $ mount /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt/floppy Thanks for any help you can give me.

re: formatting a disk in a USB floppy drive
Sorry for starting a new thread in your mail client that supports threading. Unfortunately I deleted the previous message regarding mkfs before I went to the laptop and tried it. The mkfs command returns a warning that states that /dev/sda is an entire device instead of a single partition and asks if I want to proceed. If I press y it seems to work fine, so I don't know what it is doing. It almost looks like it's seeing the floppy as a hard drive. However when I first plugged the drive into the computer and booted it, it mounted with the following command: mount /mnt/floppy Am I missing some special property of these drives or something?

Re: Paying for good quality software on Linux
Just my $0.02: I do agree that all software should be free software. However, free software is NOT to be confused with freeware. I strongly believe that people should be able to put food on their families' tables. And if this means charging reasonable prices for GPL software, then I'm all for it and would pay for it in a heartbeat. If I developed free software, I might even charga a reasonable price for it. My thinking is that, (especialy if it's something really big), I know it's going to appear on the net sooner or later, but I also know that especially those people who are on a dial-up or slow broadband connection would much rather buy the latest and greatest 5+CD set of graphics design or development tools than take their chances and days downloading these CD's and find that they were badly corrupted somewhere between the person who was offering them and their ISP and themselves. Yes, in short, I do feel that not just Linux software, but ALL software should be free. I don't, however feel that that means we shouldn't have to pay for it if it's of good quality. I'm sure that even Linux, as good as it is, could benefit from more people donating/paying money to the many companies/individuals who develope, maintain and in other ways contribute to its success and/or popularity.

problem with user saving to floppy
HELP! I am having a problem trying to allow a user to save to the floppy drive in Gnome. I was already logged into the machine (RH9), and the other user couldn't mount the drive, as I owned the device. So I edited /etc/fstab and changed the owner option on the floppy to user and the other user was then allowed to mount the drive. However, once the drive was mounted by the other user, files could not be saved to it. Checking the directory listing showed that the floppy mount point was owned by the user who mounted it and that the user had write permission as well as access permission for the mount point. It also showed write permission for all files that were already on the floppy disk. However we got an error message stating that the floppy mount point was write protected whenever the user who mounted it tried to save a file on it. This problem occurred both in AbiWord and one other prog, but I don't remember which one was used. Also, it seems that AbiWord also refused to save the file to the user's home directory, but the other program did allow us to save the file in the home dir. Can someone tell me where the problem may be and how I can fix it?

Re: [OT] Does this mean that IP was proven on the SCO case?
Leonard den Ottolander staggered into view and mumbled: Not exactly. They are trying to get people to pay for their IP they claim slipped into Linux (and was overseen by both Caldera and SCO for years). A little like SuSE making people pay for their installer (YaST). Big difference is that we know where YaST came from but have no clue about the IP SCO wants to license. But the problem is that this supposed IP is part of the kernel, (which is licensed under the GPL) and that SCO has distributed this kernel (under the GPL) for years, knowing that this IP was there, (Whether it is or not). This makes SCO automatically bound by the terms of the GPL, which states that any sublicense of all or part of the program that is licensed under the GPL must be compatible with the GPL. The SuSE example of YaST is different, because of the fact that YaST is actually a SEPARATE program and is NOT part of the Linux kernel or any other open-source licensed software.

So far, I think the best sollution for the development problem will probably be the NEW Red Hat: http://rhl.redhat.com/about/ It will accelerate development of the operating system and applications by allowing developers to participate in the project and will reduce the release cycle to as little as 4 month while still emphacising security and stability, as most of the packages will be eventually included in Red Hat's enterprise products.

Re: Red Hat 9.0 One user and multiple mailboxes.
Jonathan Bartlett staggered into view and mumbled: Why not use Postfix? It comes w/ RH. I actually am currently using Postfix and live it. I especially love how when I ran the relay test by telnetting to relay-test.mail-abuse.org, every time it sent a test message ghrough Postfix, the server took linger and longer to respond to the attempted relay of the message through my server, thereby acting as a deterrant to those who would try to hammer my server in an attempt to send spam. In fact, it was even easier to get Postfix running than you suggested, as all I had to do was run redhat-switch-mail and select postfix, then I just upgraded to the latest RPM from what turned out to be Simon Mudd's site, as I actually remember the postfix.wl0.org address that was posted earlier to this list, but forgot exactly what the address was till I had posted my FTP site as the place to get the previous version. BTW, the latest version is now replacing the older 2.0.12 that I had on my FTP site.

Re: Outlook Quotefix
Michael Schwendt staggered into view and mumbled: Is this based on experience or do you guess? It is my experience that visually impaired people appreciate when all irrelevant text is edited out and quotes are stripped down to the minimum that is necessary to keep context. It is actually from experience, as I once saw a message on another list from a visually impaired person whose signature mentioned something like: If you need to quot my original message, please do so at the bottom of your reply, as I am using speech and it is difficult to get past original messages at the top of replies. A quoted complete message at the top with a reply below that is nearly as bad as a top-posting. Actually, I don't see how it could be possible that quoted complete messages at the top could be nearly as bad astop-posting. Both are equally bad for using a lot of bandwidth, but I have given up on messages before that might have been important because I saw that it was a reply and said - Original message - (bla bla bla( at the top of the message and the window was full of nothing but quoting the previous 2 messages. In short, I didn't think the answer was worth all that hassle. And I do conceed that snipping (AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE) is MUCH better than even one complete -Original message - From so-and-so Sent Pungenday, the 52nd say of Confusion in the YOLD 3169 etc. ;D This is why I snip or don't even include the previous message and try to make the context clear enough on my own. And sorry about the long lines. I am using Nano with Mutt and I have my screen resolution set to 1024x768. It is wrapping at a longer line I think because of that. If anyone has any way of fixing this I would be very happy, as I can't seem to find it in the editor. Apparently, it just wraps according to the screen size. I have tried to fix it manually.

Re: Outlook Quotefix
Well, if you are worried about annoying the entire list, don't worry about me. I for one would rather have the reply to a question I posted answered right up front instead of having to wade through the muck and the mire of anywhere from 1 to 5 message I've already read at least twice. Actually, to tell the truth, bottom-posting is actually what annoys me. To have to scroll past all that stuff I've already read 3, 4, or even 5 times is just a major inconvenience, at least for me. Personally, I prefer one of three things: either in-line posting, but keep the snips brief, top-posting, where I can see on the first screen of the message that pops up in my mail client what the answer to my question was, or just simply not including previous messages in the replies at all and just making the answer clear enough that I don't have to even look back at previous messages that I already read. Plus, bottom-posting may actually be a serious annoyance to blind and visually impaired people who rely on braille or speech, which some of us on this list may possibly be, as they do have to reread the message each time, because with speech and braille, there really is no fast scrolling option, so in order to find the answer to a question burried under miles of previously read messages can be a real pain.

It is possible to type the name of the file and execute it. This goes for .sh files as well as perl scripts.

Extensions aren't used in Linux to determine if a file is executable like in w32. The extension is just to let the user know what kind of a script it is, and it must be typed along with the rest of the file name at the prompt for it to execute. HTH.

I received an email messge warning me that the message I sent (which I didn't actually send) contained a virus and that the virus was removed. It seems that someone is using either my email address or my MTA to send viruses to people on the internet.
