Re:basicnetworkingqueries

First off I want to agree with Jeff; it might be easiest to setup a DHCP server on your home network, and always leave your laptop as a DHCP client. One thing I want to add on this, is that you can have your DHCP server reserve a specific IP address for your laptop, using the laptop's MAC address

Ok. More on DHCP, networking fundamentals, PCMCIA cards and so forth. The system ref'd is a Slackware 7.1 minimal install on a 486 laptop. I will use it most of the time at home, where I have static network addressing. The card works, and the machine is successfully on my network now. When I ne

Re: USB Flash Drive??

I have no personal experience with memory sticks, but I think you should be able to reformat them with any filesystem you want to, but keep in mind that it would then be unreadable in M$. So if you want it to be portable at all, keep it as vfat. For somewhat related info see:

RH 9 source

Hi, I was trying to compile with kernel using the sources (v2.4.20-8) which came along with RH9, but there were some compilation errors!! I also tried with source I downloaded from rpmfind.net (for v2.4.20-20) with no luck. I gave up after that and switched to RHL7.3 (kernel v2.4.18-3)which works.

USB Flash Drive??

Greetings: Just getting my feet wet with USB on a Slackware9.0, 2.4.20 box, and a 64mB Flash Disk "stick." Enabling BIOS - 2.4.20 found it and loaded the necessary modules OK. Slick.. However - mount reports the fstype as umsdos.. I note I can also mount the device as msdos or vfat OK and use mco

Re: is there some ps-to-text extractor ?

I haven't used most of these, so I can't recommend any one over the others, but it looks like all of these should work. GNU Ghostscript is distributed with several conversion tools, including ps2ascii. However, in the ps2ascii(1) man page, it says "ps2ascii doesn't look at font encoding, and isn'
