[SLUG] Windows on LInux
Subject: [SLUG] Newbie Question from a Mac user - Dual Booting Win98 and Linux Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 21:27:23 +1100 From: Shane Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyway, I have just bought myself a nice new 900MHz Athlon and 2 HDs and I wish to run a dual boot system, Win98SE and Linux (Corel Dist.). So, I am fully prepared to wipe everything I have. I have only been using Win98 for a few days. Besides, using Windoze I should get used to having to constantly reinstall everything from scratch, right!? :) Shane, I have just bought a copy of win4lin. It runs windows 95 (and 98 I understand) perfectly under linux itself. It runs Quicken (my cheque book software) and internet explorer perfectly. The install was definitely not polished, once over that hurdle it runs a windows session inside a window on you linux desktop. So the simple answer is, run windows under Linux at need and stick to one boot setup. It is $80 from www.everythinglinux.com (Tony is a great source knowledge of, well, everything Linux).

[SLUG] Problem with NICs...
Hi All, I have a slackware 7.1 box with 3 Netgear FA310TX 100Mb NICs. It works great (of course). But there is an interesting problem. If I unplug the network cable from any of the NICs, for a whole 2 seconds or so, and then reconnect the cable that interface drops off the network and doesn't come back. There are no errors reported in the log. Rebooting fixes the problem in the short term. The netgears are using the tulip driver (dated 7/99 from the excellent Mr Becker). Has anyone else encountered this? Anyone else using a Netgear and can do a quick test? if so, what version of the driver are you using? Thanks!

What exactly are you testing?
Have you tried an ifconfig ethX down/up ?
As far as I know, any network disconnection is liable to render the NIC
out of the system until reboot on any system. Just because I've been
doing similar things (repatching,etc) for years and getting away with
it, doesn't mean it works on every system like that. Your "problem"
sounds like a normal reaction to network dropout.

RE: [SLUG] Problem with NICs...
Hi Terry,
Thanks for the reply.
I believe I have tried ifconfig down/up and it didn't help - but I'll try
it again just to be sure.
The real problem is that if the switch/hubs that its talking to get reset
or temporarily power down the interfaces on the linux box don't come back.
;( The interfaces are still there, but every packet results in a TX error.
Cheers,
Marty

[SLUG] Malicious computer viruses hidden inside plain text messagesa.....woffle, woffle, woffle
Tripe publishing hits New Scientist (with apologies to tripe).
My apologies if this is old news to those who have to support MS Outlook
(z - woops it's happened again). Yep, i just switch off on the
mention of MS + virus, but I pass it on just in case you get accosted by
the PHB's.
Anyway, the current issue of New Scientist 9/12/2000 on page 14 starts
off "Hidden agenda, Deleting attachments won't save us from a new breed
of virus. Malicious computer viruses hidden inside plain text messages
" and the shock, horror crap goes on.
So, if your PHB comes to you asking about it, don't worry, it is NOT
true, it is not new and it is yet another MS hole. MS Outlook allows for
the sending of help files (*.chm), which outlook automatically opens and
which surprise, surprise can contain script/code.
This may be of use to those who want to oppose MS solutions at their
site - YAMSSL - yet another Microsoft security lapse.
http://www.newscientist.com/nl/1209/ is the online part, but a quick
look could not find the story online.

Re: [SLUG] X with no mouse...
quote who="Pigeon" Any advice for using X without a mouse? Other than, "You'll be in abject pain, please don't scream so loudly"? :) Most apps have *terrible* keyboard support - Gnome and KDE are fixing this to a certain extent. In fact, there's a whole Sun team working on Gnome accessibility! Tres cool. Is there an app to use keyboard to simulate a mouse? (Like that accessibility thingy in windows?) As it turns out, XFree86 4 has some added accessibility features such as this. Run xf86cfg (the Conectiva configurator - it's perky) without a mouse and it will enable this for you automagically. Works fairly well, too. - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://linux.conf.au/ -- ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
