double escape
Hi all - When i hit the Esc key twice on my Linux box - it asks "display all 482 options ? y/n" or something similar. When i say yes , it scrolls by a list of what i assume are command options at warp speed and i only catch the bottom screenfull. How can i redirect this output into a text file?

PnP modem
Hi all- I am installing Linux on a PnP BIOS machine that currently has a modem jumpered for PnP installation. Does Debian Linux require any special modules to use such a setup? Is it even possible? (the PnP BIOS installs the modem as COM2, which is left disabled in the CMOS) Thanks in advance - Jerry -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

isapnptools config
Hi - Might anyone have some advice on how to go about setting up the isapnp.config file? I have run pnpdump and it successfully found my (2) PnP cards (modem & sound). However, there are a number of configuration options for each, and i would like advice on how to decide which one to uncomment in order to activate the devices properly. (trial & error ? :-) TIA Jerry -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
ppp-on INVISIBLE
Hi all - I am trying to setup my ppp connection as explained in the PPP-HOWTO and have run into a brick wall. I can bring up the connection manually via minicom and pppd command line ande it check out fine. However ... when i try to automate the process using the ppp-on ppp-on-dialer and ppp-off scripts, i get the message ppp-on: No such file or directory. I have tried activating the script with the full path .. i.e. /etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on & and also placing the scripts in the /sbin directory. Same result both ways. The script file permissions are set to -rwxr-xr-x. I am probably making a silly newbie mistake, but i can't find it. Suggestions please?

lpr hostname
Hi all- I know this is pretty basic stuff, but when i try and print using lpr, i get the error message: lpr: unable to get official name for local machine. When i use the command hostname, it returns Zero_pt (the name i used when i set up debian linux). What config(s) do i need to address here?

debian re-install?

xemacs 20.3 slow load
Hi - I am experimenting with xemacs 20.3 on debian linux 2.0.29 machine w/ AMD K6 200MHz / 32M RAM. It takes xemacs about a full minute to load in xwindows. Anyone else experience such a prolonged load wait, or is it just me (& 20.3 ;-)? Thanks Jerry -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: xemacs 20.3 slow load
Hi-
Many thanks to those who have commented thus far on the xemacs slow load post.
Being relatively new to Linux, i am still slogging thru the process of
analyzing why
the load takes so long on my machine.
In particular, i have just run an strace on the program as it loads, and it
gives me about
280k worth of text file on the system calls, many of which are mysterious
to a newbie
like me.
If find particularly interesting any lines in the file where a timeout
occurs. I have attached
a snippet below, which is repeated many times in the load process. Could
anyone shed
light on just what is happening here?
I will continue to try and understand & analyze the file in the meantime.
Many thanks again
Jerry

Re: xemacs 20.3 slow load (follow up)
Hi - I just started up xemacs while connected to my ISP and it came up in under 3 seconds! The timeouts (there are 225 of them) i reported previously are apparently related to unsuccessful attempts to connect to my ISP while i am offline! Is there a way to instruct xemacs not to try and connect the socket? Progress! Thanks again Jerry -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
