ln -s /home/techsat/downloads/ uploads when you're in the public_html/downloads directory should work, try it....

Java by it's very nature is platform independent!!!! The problem I've found is that the MS java virtual machine in IE appears to be different to that of sun / blackdown / whoever and doesn't play by the rules. The lame coder that makes the Java games probably doesn't have any other version of Java to check it on and they just say it doesn't work so they don't have to support it. I'm thinking support may be the entire reasoning here. If people can't make platform independent (read STANDARDS COMPLIANT) web sites using HTML what hope do we have of anything else being done properly......

In the layers dialogue, right-click on the image and add an alpha channel. Then right click on your image > select > by colour . Click on the background (adjusting the other parameters as necessary), then right click > edit > cut. And Bob's your mothers brother.....

Gnome's just generally great.... Traditionally many GNU/Linux users had Gnome as their DE due to (then) questionable freedom of KDE. Times have changed and Gnome is every bit as good as KDE. Some people prefer nautlius to konqueror but I don't use file managers so thats not my reason. Things I like about Gnome: SVG icons on the desktop, Giving us the Bitstream Vera Fonts Epiphany and Galeon The tabs in Gnome terminal (with different profiles) General look and feel (although I am using bluecurve :P ) KDE and Gnome are very similar when it comes down to it.

Judging by MS's schenanigans with FAT and cleartype it looks like the Linux (in fact the whole open source community) really need something to keep track of prior use...

Is there no XML checker for the command line, you give it a file and a DTD and it validates it? I'd find that very usefull, twin it with emacs and you've got all the IDE you need.

I think sendmail is configured on the boxen I want it to be, to the point that I can send a test mail via the command line. I have no idea how to specify what text is actually sent via mail though. For example if I use the command line: # mail -s Foo root Bar Ctrl-D CC: # works, but obviously as part of a shell script mail -s Foo root Bar . does not work. Any ideas how I can specify the body of the mail? Thanks,

>how fast there are fixed by really competent guys (very responsive community) The bug was actually spotted by Andrew Morton well before the Debian crew were hit, but it was slightly too late to make it into the kernel release - thats incredibly quick patching :lol:

I'm writing a bash script to backup some machines and eventually I want it to become a cron job (but thats a different story). I basically want to use mail (or something similar) to send a message to my user along the lines that the backup was complete. Does anyone have any experience of doing this? Thanks,

>But, I know what you mean. We need an eccentric billionaire to become a Linux fanatic. A bit like this one?

Have you tried passing any of the agp parameters to the nvidia drivers? The system isn't overclocked is it?

I would provide a link but the page is on an intranet and the other webserver I have access to isn't playing nicely. Anyway, the problem was that I need to nest the <p> inside the <div> just like you said, thanks a lot! Theres probably a few more errors to come....

Hi all, I'm doing a bit of web design and when I attempt to validate my xhtml I get errors along the lines of document type does not allow element "p" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag the line this refers to is: <p><code> background { colour <1, 1, 1> }</code></p> I've little idea what this means, possible something to do with whats allowed as children?? Can anyone help me out here? Thanks,

We've got one in our Xeon server, I can try and find out the chipset if that helps?? It was autodetected and configured by RH9. Reading the kernel docs or doing a makemenu config will help you so whats supported.

This can actually depend on the web server that you're connecting to too. IE and IIS cheat by not sending / expecting the TCP/IP handshake when connecting and disconnecting that other webservers do, this means that pages can load faster but also that IE can time out on pages on other servers. If you press re-load then IE sends the proper handshake and the page suddenly appears. Ugh, dirty....

Linux is meant to use all your memory, it's efficient that way. How much swap do you have, have you noticed any actual problems or just that your memory is being used?

I agree with your principles and whats happened is indeed redhat being greedy and losing sight of their original roots. I do however really like Fedora as a distro, I'm hoping that the community will take over and do something usefull with it - I also hope it grows to bite RH in the ass!!!! I think it's slightly shamefull to get `the community' to basically do the grunt work of making a distro, then for RH to swoop in and take the best bits before charging a fortune for it. I hate all this patent / copyright stuff, don't get me started on those idiots who've patented an integer and the fools that let them do it....!!!!!!

Depending on how the compilation was linked it is possible to just move the directory across and it magically works - of course it probably won't be linked like this....

Hmm, I have no idea if test works with regexps so maybe it's best to dump that idea. Incidently is it not a little foolish to have files with a $ in the name, bash will want to expand the $ as a variable. I've suddenly realised this is a bit easier than I thought, just use grep - pipe the current filename to grep '\$' which will match anything with a dollar in, if the return is zero process the file (or whatever you want to do with it) otherwise skip

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, in HTML4 the umlaut is represented by Ampersand-Hash-168-semicolon if thats any help to you. [edit: Ampersand-Hash-168-semicolon was diaplyed as an umlaut]

would a regexp of something like /.*\$.*/ not match anything with a dollar in it? Or indeed /\$/

Certainly an interesting project, I'll try it out when I eventually get some free time.

Couldn't you just use a for loop and the test command? That said you'd still need reg expressions.

Redhat have good reason for both calling their offspring distro fedora and for trademarking it, whilst it must be annoying for the other fedora project I think they should just take it on the chin and call their digital repository management system something else. It's certainly no reason for me to uninstall fedora (the distro)
