Re: Internet Connection Sharing with Linux
John: The breath of knowledge to understand and to be able to configure ALL linux programs is tremendous. Like you, I had a similar experience awhile back with a small office network I had been using samba with for years. I got cable and wanted to serve up browsing and email to the other XP clients on the network. I got browsing working but was unable to handle the email configuration. My work depended on getting things up and running quickly. My solution was to ask for help. I agreed to pay an individual that had been helping me anyway but because of my ignorance was taking too long. I allowed him ssh access and he was able to get me up and running quickly. The gentleman is still working with IPTable for me but I have rules in place now that have been working without a hitch. If you would like a reference, let me know off line. In summary: if you don't have access to an unix type individual, you can waste a lot of time and get yourself frustrated with documentation that might turn out to be outdated. My approach may be considered a cop-out by some but it worked for me.

I think that I am beginning to get a glimmer of what my main problem is -- I am not able to translate from Linuxese to English! :-) Setup my squid??? I'm going to have to do some google work and see what is going on. Us old Windows people who are trying to migrate have a long hard row to hoe! (The above should not be interpreted as meaning I am not grateful for the advice. I am, and I will figure out what it says.) Some other notes seemed to have conflicting advice, but I did get some pointers to places to look so will go there and read stuff. Perhaps a stiff drink might help with all this.

But you cold look at all the conversion programs that are in the gs rpm package and it might be possible somehow. Adobe makes fine software but you can do it with pdftex (pdflatex) using the pdfpages package. RH8 comes with a version of pdflatex that will run pdfpages. You will probably need to download the pdfpages package. It look pretty easy to do. See http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2002-May/ and welcome to the world of tex. I haven't tried merging pdf files myself but I have read a lot on the pdftex mailing list which has had comments about others using pdfpages. Good luck. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: postscript and pdf merging
I mentioned that pdftex has a package, pdfpages, on CTAN that does the job. This package is compatible with the pdflatex package that is installed with RH8. I installed to try package and can report that it can do what you want and more with PDF files. Re ps you can use ps2pdf filter before using pdfpages.
