ezroller, try this and see if it works for you --- see if you can execute this from your icon or rather, gkrellm: if `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; then mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openInbox)"; else mozilla -mail; fi The same thing should work for a browser (I've thrown Google in, just for an address): if `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; then mozilla -remote "openurl(www.google.com,new-window)"; else mozilla; fi

I use GMT, and as long as Linux knows you're set to GMT, that's what it will sync it to.

What tyme said. You can change things without rebooting too. You need to sync your hardware clock to the system clock. Since you said in the speed thread that you have Webmin running, that might be the easiest way: Fire up a browser, and access Webmin. Hardware >> System Time >> Time Server In Time Server type "time.nist.gov" and select "Sync System Time/Sync Hardware Time" If it turns out that your time zone is wrong, you can manually enter the correct time in the other dialogs, and then sync them.

As far as starting applications, in addition to what has already been said, there is another aspect. Windows, when it runs, is much more monolithic. It contains, or will load upon boot, many facilities that you might need while you are logged on. Therefore, when a program like Internet Explorer is started, it starts with an advantage. It knows that most of things it needs are already installed - and it knows that it's running Windows, so it knows where to hook in to them. On the other hand, Linux is much more modular. It doesn't load everything upon boot. Which means that when you start applications, they have to subcontract (as it were) out some features that are built into Windows, or the Windows applications. So while you might only be starting one application, that application might be starting eight others, and some of those eight might be spawning apps of their own. This makes it a little slower to initially load an app, but has its advantages. First, you can decide which programs you want to "subcontract," (don't like xv or some other image viewer, for example). Second, generally, if one of the modules (subcontractors) fails, and it dies - usually, it doesn't kill the app you started, much less the whole system. Personally, I don't know that Windows is that much faster to boot up, as claimed. I've watched people boot, and while the splash screen, and then the desktop, might come up pretty fast, they end up just twiddling their thumbs for 2 to 3 minutes until the mouse cursor shows the system isn't busy.

I've used the Hancom apps on my Zaurus. Quite nice. Hard to tell how they would be on my Desktop, but I'd imagine they're fine. Me, I use Siag Office, it does everything I need, when I need to use it (not very often, actually). What it doesn't do, I can accomplish with other applications.

Getting a 404, did the problem get solved? Just digging through the unanswered posts here 'ing around, in other words.

See above on the copying.... I agree about the graphical version in X, however, it's nice having a graphical webbrowser without X, since Links-twibright uses the framebuffer.

Hold down shift while dragging the mouse Edit: As far as I know, this grabs on a line-by-line basis, so if there are unrelated columns, you'll get them too

Just a thought here. Perhaps the shutdown of X is really what is screwing up here (which would cause the monitor to go blank, you would get no response to your mouse, and no obvious response to your keyboard). What happens if after the monitor goes black, you try bringing up a virtual console, with <Ctrl><Alt>+F2 ? Also, you say you have to do a hard reset. Have you tried the SysRq process first, to attempt a clean shutdown? Hold down <Alt> & SysRq (might be Print Screen on your keyboard) and type, (each is seperate ... i.e., alt-sysrq-r then alt-sysrq-s, alt-sysrq-e etc.) R S E I U B

qeldroma, at least it's not universal. Your email made it through to me fine (and spamcom is very good at filtering). I'm getting ready to send you a copy of what I received, with all the headers. (It's an attachment, so don't be alarmed)

I send all my mail from my computer with either exim or postfix using terry@timestorm.ross.com with a Reply-to: of terry@aliboom.com - I've been doing it for quite a while and it's all getting through.

Harvey wasn't a bunny darnit!

send me an email at terry@aliboom.com It will go through my account at spamcop.net (no, not the Windows spamcop.com) and we'll see what happens.

I thought OpenOffice did. Guess not. As a quick fix, you might want to "Print to file" filename.ps and then run ps2pdf filename.ps There are scores of programs out there that will create pdfs. See if this works though.

Which version of seti are you running? Maybe it would help if you switched from i386 to i686 or vice-versa. Any other details? Mine runs 24-hours/day with no problem.

OK, sure. Just for info though, you're not setting up any webserver. My /etc/hosts file is just telling my system how to communicate with other computers on my LAN (note the 192.168.x.x) That way I can use something like vncviewer laptop You need your actual IP address (that you can get through that http://whatismyip.com ) to allow push requests, it allows other people to get through your firewall (assuming you've set up your router/gateway/firewall to allow traffic on whichever "port" you enter - however, gnutella (and gtk-gnutella, of course) will work even if you don't allow push requests. You'll just get fewer responses to you searches, for example, because if you're behind a firewall and not allowing a push, and someone else is behind a firewall and not allowing a push, then you'll never be able to communicate with one another. On the other hand, you might like the eDonkey service, it has a much more "international" flavor.

you could always try editing it manually. This is my /etc/hosts terry@timestorm: /home/terry 19:21:19 $ cat /etc/hosts # # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. # On small systems, this file can be used instead of a # "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses # and any aliases to this file... # 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.101 timestorm.ross.com timestorm 192.168.0.100 laptop.ross.com laptop 192.168.0.102 gateway.ross.com gateway as far as gtk-gnutella goes, just use the actual IP address. If you wait a little while, the address that people are seeing you at will be reflected back to you in the IP:Port section of the Gnutellanet tab. Alternately, if you didn't want to look your system over yourself, you could visit http://whatismyip.com/ Once you have it, you want to put it in Config >> Network Settings >> Force local IP to

sorry for the confusion, by *rc, I meant configuration files... like .bashrc, .gtkrc, .aumixrc etc. I don't use a taskbar, so I'm not testing it, I'm just thinking there there might be seperate configuration files if you use two different clocks, whereas if you use copies of one clock, they probably use the same configuration file, so changing one from 12 to 24 would also change the other.

Different clocks perhaps? So you have seperate *rc files for each?

here's a program I use that uses FLTK - it's not very resource hungry, but you get nice results from it - the example is <HTML>Doc, which converts HTML to PDF:

Audio CDs don't have a "filesystem" per se. You can browse them with some programs like kfm/Konqueror if you need to though.

for object-oriented, I use Oberon, but that's just because I prefer to program in Modula-2. I'd say stick with C++ too

Me, I've often thought of doing such a thing, since I'm retired and have a lot of free time. Mine would be more of a "thumbing my nose" one though. Linux, BSD, Atari, Amiga, Acorn (and other alternative OS' with appropriate capabilities) only.
