Considering that the list archives can be viewed by anyone at https://www.redhat.com/archives/blinux-list/ and be downloaded as gzipped plain text files that include the e-mail address from which each message was sent, I think it's fair to say there's next to nothing any list moderators could do

spammers on this list

2017-04-14 Thread John G. Heim
I sent the command to the listserve to get a list of the subscribers. As you can see from the response below, it said you have to be an administrator to get that. That is not unusual. Some lists allow the subscribers to get a list of the other subscribers but this one does not.

But, Henry, of course the spammer is replying directly back to the person who posted the message rather than back to the list. Spammers always work that way. I also don't see what difference it makes whether the bot (it clearly is a bot) was set up deliberately or if it is the result of

All of my list communications come directly to my inbox. By which I mean I do not visit a third party site for reading messages or posting. If you decide to move this list, will this impact how I prefer reading messages? Thanks, Kare On Sat, 15 Apr 2017, Luke Yelavich wrote: On Sat, Apr

I guess what I'm driving at is the question of whether this/these spammer(s) are spamming you (evidently, there's more than one of "you") directly, or via the list. Only in the latter case could something reasonably be done about it (by attempting to unsubscribe them). If the former, then the

Well Henry, for at least 1 or 2 months, each time I write or reply, I receive at least 1 spam item. I would say if there are no moderators of the list, then announcing a replacement, well, you would think those same anoying folks would just harvest the new address. And Henry, since it probably

Confirming what Henry penned. Sometimes the BIOS will pause and wait for you at attach a keyboard and press a key before continuing to boot. Sometimes, the BIOS will give you an option to boot anyways. So if either (1) your BIOS doesn't care if your keyboard is attached, or (2) your BIOS can

Henry is right. It's been so many years since I've come across a BIOS configured that way that I forgot it could be a problem. So it's possible that your machine might not boot without a keyboard but it's pretty unlikely. On 04/14/2017 01:11 PM, Henry Yen wrote: On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at

Are you asking if you can disconnect the keyboard and monitor after you've finished the install? If so, absolutely. This is a fairly common thing in the server world. Just yesterday I did a debian install with just a keyboard and braille display attached. Worked great. There are several ways
