[techtalk] HTML resources

1999-10-23 Thread Ingrid Schupbach

Hello.

I am hoping some of you out there could suggest some websites and/or books
on HTML.  I have a good grasp of html basics - I've already designed
several simple web pages.  But now I want to learn what fancier options
there are for spiffing up a web page other than using . ;)

Can anyone recommend some good intermediate to advanced HTML resources?
Also, should I just bite the bullet and learn about XTML?

Ingrid

Please have a look at the do-it-yourself advise

 'SELFHTML'

that should be part of your distribution.

If not you may find it here:

 http://www.teamone.de/selfhtml/selfhtml.htm

It's the best (best!) HTML information for newbies and advanced i 
know!

Ok, to be perfectly honest, it's got one tiny disadvantage: it's 
written completely in german.  ;-)

But let's stop joking now! I thing you might want to look here:

 'HTML Writers Guild'

Well I have the O'Reilly book: HTML  The Definitive Guide by Chuck
Musciano and Bill Kennedy. Now I learned from the old CERN guide some years
ago, and used a friend's page. But I use this as a reference book, and it
seems pretty through. Haven't checked out the web sites people mentioned to
compare things. I have yet to build a new web page.

But anyway it comes with a neat "reference card" (aka "Bingo Card" or "Cheat
Sheet"). It is pretty good and I am sure all of us bright people could have
learned from it. I do not like kumquats and wouldn't devote a whole page to
them! :) This was recommended by a friend and she sent the book.

Have Fun,
Sends Steve

Hi Igred

Since most people have replied on the normal advanced HTML stuff .. I'll add
some alternatives to playing with HTML ... pre processing stuff :)) *grin*

have a look at PHP http://www.php.net and linking it to MYSQL

Actually, I'm originally from Switzerland, and German was my first
language, so actually this page turns out to be pretty well suited to my

[techtalk] ISA Ethernet card under RHat 6

1999-10-23 Thread Walt

Ok. I'm trying to set up a multi-homed system to be
the internet server for my lan. Yesterday I installed
Redhat and got Samba and Netatalk working fine
through eth0 (AMD PCNet card, I think) which is
PCI. However, when I put in the ISA nic that (whose
ethernet address is bound to my cable-modem, btw)
is to be hooked up to the internet, the system doesn't
seem to find it.

My question is: How do I find out stuff like the IRQ
and I/O address information for the card from the
system?

Thanks,

Walt

[techtalk] Re: HTML Resources

1999-10-23 Thread Shelly L. Hokanson


hello =)

one book i enjoyed (after being pretty familiar with basic HTML) was "Designing Web
Graphics 3" by Lynda Weinman. on amazon.com the book gets mixed reviews, but i had seen
it in a store and purchased it anyway, and was very impressed by it. i too have a good
grasp of the basics, as well as some generic javascript programming and stuff like 
that,
but my creative side was (is) lacking. this book does a good job of teaching the
concepts of graphics and web page layout to the non-super-creative types. the author is
a mac person, but the book is basically written with both mac and pc instructions for
all the major graphics progs (sorry, no gimp, no linux). it covers things like color
aesthetics, dhtml, cascading style sheets, flash, shockwave, png's, javascript, graphic
design, and all the major progs like photoshop, dreamweaver, fireworks, stuff like 
that.
good info on using unbordered tables for page layout. i think the book retails for 
about
$55 but i've seen it cheaper than that.

(i sound like a commercial for this book! i just really enjoyed reading it!)

good luck,

shelly

I'd say learn more about graphics, if that interests you. The ability to
build good, fast graphics is key for spiffing up a website. If you want a
site that'll teach you something about color and design, I'd recommend
www.lynda.com, Lynda Weinman's site. (Her books are great too). Learn how
to use tables and graphics backgrounds well, too--- that helps a lot. 

If you're looking for more of a technical challenge, investigate some of
the tools out there for building larger websites, the kind you'd never
code by hand--- Zope (www.zope.org) and PHP (www.php.org?), for example.

*wave* Hi all, this is my first post. I'm srl, a web geek who does Cold
Fusion by day. I'm learning more about Linux/Unix in my copious free time,
particularly about open source web tools. I'm currently pondering building
a new system, 'cause my existing one is all spare parts. (a 486/66 with
16MB RAM and an 800MB HD, Redhat 5.2). I want to run GIMP, and this box
just doesn't cut it.

Does anyone have any experience with this ABIT motherboard I keep hearing
about---the one that can be set up as a dual Celeron system? The idea
seems attractive for price reasons, but I just don't know

Hi, I feel like this is a stupid question, but here goes...

I have redhat 5.2 installed and wish to upgrade to 6.1. I purchased a CD 
with 6.1 on CheapBytes (?) and can't get my machine to read the "D" drive in 
either dos or linux. I'm extremely new at this and haven't recieved my 
redhat 5.2 books yet, so I hope you will humor me.

Hi,

You can mount the cd in linux by running the "mount" command as
root.. Make a directory off of / called "cdrom", and type "mount
/dev/hdc /cdrom" (hdc is usually the cdrom drive. However, I
have seen it listed as hda and hdb). However, if you are
upgrading from 5.2 to 6.1, you probably don't want the system to
be running (the base OS files have to be updated, and it causes
some nasty segfaults and kernel panics if you try to update a
running system). So if you have a newer motherboard that allows
you to boot from the cd (set in the bios), simply put the cd into
the cdrom drive, reboot the box, and the installation will begin.
If you don't have a board that allows cd booting, you will have
to download a boot disk from Redhat and boot using this disk. If
you have a normal atapi-compliant cdrom, the disk should
recognize it and continue the installation.

Cheers,
GC

None of the things in ioports seem to be something that
looks like a my NIC.
Here's my ioports:

0040-005f : timer   yeah...
