i have tried cygwin before and didnt like it. its not GNU/Linux-ish enough. :( ciao!

i cant verify this right now but isnt more in linux systems sym-linked to less, thus providing the catchy phrase less is more (or more is less)? ciao!

its just probably msec. go to the mandrakesecure.net site and read about how to tame msec. ciao!

yes, i think there is an option in the mandrake control center->boot on creating a boot disk. i dont have a linux machine so you will have to look for it. ciao!

usually if your urpmi database is in good shape the following command will find the necessary package for you $ urpmf ld.so.1 and the following will install the package (if it can be found) # urpmi [missing file | package] im doing this from memory so pay attention to my sig. :) ciao! [edit] that file is included in the glibc package. isnt this one installed by default? do you have development packages installed in your machine (gcc and its dependencies)?

its not supposed to be a question of not enough active partitcipation. If a poll/discussion is only participated by a handful of people during a designated (and understandable) period of time, then that should be enough to arrive in a decision. if somebody bitches about the outcome when that person havent participated in the discussion, then tell him to take a hike or start a discussion meaning to reverse the previous decision (we call this RED TAPE). gramps, maybe you should really transfer this to the board discussion forum. :) ciao!

its the price of democracy. :? ciao!

then we agree on something.how about just adding the word 'independent'. that would give us closure (or something like that, i cant find the right word). ciao!

Mandrakesoft is hosting a user board in mandrakeclub. Since this board is not given official recognition by mdksoft (excluding the logo), it would be only correct that we append such thing. We lose nothing by doing that. But again, its just my opinion. :) ciao!

anon, you should contact the web admin and ask if he could append a "(unofficial user's board)" after the site's name. they have already done something like it for the plf site. and shouldnt this be in the forum discussion forum? (saying forum firum is funnier :mystismiles:) ciao!

i know this is late. httrack. :mystismiles: ciao!

err, wheres the link? never did like WD drives since a friend's wd drive crashed during the end of the semester (and took away most of this baby-thesis) and the warning by civileme on the mandrake newbie list. ymmv. ciao!

man ls. there is an option there that inlcudes the coloring scheme. ls is usually aliased to that but either something has changed in your system configuration (/etc/profile or in on of the .sh files called in it) or you have aliased ls with another set of options in your ~/.bash_profile or in your ~/-bashrc. sorry, i dont have a linux machine right now or ill post it right on. ciao!

i think theres a patch to let handle html messages (relatively speaking). if you are looking for something that looks like outlook when it comes to embedding images and such then sylpheed is definitely out of the race. :( but i still use sylpheed (when im in linux). ciao!

mr nut is loosing a screw somewhere again. :roll: :mystismiles: ciao!

nice try mr nut :mystismiles:, i spent 3 months on a unix project (unix c) and that constituted my experience with unix. my newbie-status applies to both linux and unix. :P ciao!

im just happy to have that. i once created a bourne script in a solaris machine that does the exact thing as killall, well its not so robust but it does get the job done. :) ciao!

gramps its easier to just issue a $ killall [processname] . no more getting the PID. :) ciao!

am i one of those who mentioned L name? i dont think so, that means im fair. :mystismiles: ciao!

just follow the instructions i sent you and repost the problems that you encounter. at the very least you will get some knowledge out of this. :) ciao!

What the hell is that command, DOS??? I think you are not taking advantage of your stay in the home land of Linux!! :lol: sheesh, my mistake. it should have been mkdir but im operating here without a linux system and i think i have been without it too long. i cant even run knoppix here as the partition are in ntfs and i cant write enable this when i mount it as the whole project resides in one of the folders. repartitioning them is out of the options too. :( ciao! [edit1] just thought of something. doesnt mandrake alias mkdir to md?

This, plus screen, make the ultimate development evironment !!! 8) screen rocks !!!!! multiple vi sessions 8) then you must love ratpoison. :) ciao!

somebody is happy because there is more than one article receiving recognition (or at least that's what he is pushing for :mystismiles:). :P ciao!

didnt i post it in your resources thread? :? sorry for not remembering it earlier. glad to be of service. :smile: ciao!

simple guide for new users of wine (using a rpm-based system). - if you dont want to get hassled with the compiling part, grab the daily CVS rpm package at wine.dataparty.no. - make sure you have a ¨/.wine/wine.conf in your system. the rpm package has a template that you need to edit to suit the configuration that you have on your system (especially the number of windows drives that you need wine to access). you can read the wine.conf to get a clue on how to construct 'virtual windows drives'. on my home machine i have windows drives c-i but i only let wine see c,e-h. the good thing about the rpm way of installing is that you would know if you needed another package to satisfy all of wine's dependencies. urpmi and rpmfind should help you in this matter. in my case i had to install a libwine package which i found easily using the above resources. the installation guide in dataparty suggest that you use -nodeps and -force when installing the package. i will suggest that you dont follow that unless you really know what you are doing. and for jennifer, there is a dot before the name of the wine folder meaning its a hidden folder. you will have to do a $ ls -a to see it. you will have to create it if it doesnt exist $ md ~/.wine . refer to the wine.conf tutorial in the dataparty site. i assure you that you can finish it at around 5 minutes. ciao!
