Some programs do this automatically (netscape, pftp) but others don't (lynx is a particular sod for this!) I don't understand inetd, but I do recognise the "it just sits there and stops" symptom, which in my case was the firewall and the need for passive mode.

I assume that Kathy meant "Linux-friendly" in terms of support, not connectivity.

Re: [techtalk] know of a linux-friendly isp in la?
Thanks for clarifying, Robert. I wasn't sure. Its hard to tell with text what tone is intended. I've seen enough snarky replies on mailing lists that I wanted to help clarify. [=^J One thing - at my last place of employ (a non-profit ISP) when I was in tech support, we didn't officially provide support to Linux users (we did have a few, but not many), but a couple of us would always try to be as helpful as we could. But then, we generally went above and beyond the call of duty for all our users. But that's in Toronto and they've just stopped providing dial-up... Some ISPs are much more restricted and rigid in the extent of tech support provided and the support staff have everything in a binder, scripted, so if the problem exists outside that then its likely not supported (though they can escalate some issues to other technical/support staff), regardless of the operating system in question (even if they do support Linux users). I guess my point is that its not easy to tell from the front end how Linux-friendly an ISP may be, which is probably why Kathy is asking this list. :^) Good Luck!

Re: [techtalk] know of a linux-friendly isp in la?
There's also the fact that most linux users don't really need support from the place they're buying the service from, every linux book there is tells you how to hook up with ppp, cable, and so on. There's also the LDP HOWTOs which are terriffic (and very comprehensive). There're also things like kppp and x-isp, and ppp-go (slackware) which make everything a lot easier. Even in the ppp scripts (ppp-on and such) there're comment lines that pretty much tell you what you're using. Funny experience, I decided to cross over from mindspring to a little local isp that I'd seen advertised on a lot of BBSs (I think they actually sponsored the BBSs) because mindspring was a pain in the ass and rather slow. I call them up, get an account with them. Then I ask them for the DNS servers, the woman on the phone _refused_ to give me them, citing that they used server-assigned dns and wins and all that stuff (I just found out what all this shit is while setting this up with DUN, yes, DUN does suck in case y'all haven't had to use it). I stayed on the phone for about thirty minutes explaining what linux is and why this server assigned stuff wouldn't work with Linux (perhaps it will with modification, but I don't know about it). She finnally said that she didn't know the dns server ips, and would have someone call me tommarow... Erin Clarke wrote: > Thanks for clarifying, Robert. I wasn't sure.

Haven't been able to do much on it, since I'm away from my unix machines, and therefore don't have a) cvs, b) docbook/sgml stuff, or c) root. It would be great if you'd take over, and here's the outline I have so far: There's quite a bit of how-to-ask-for-help stuff, which apparently some people don't like, so feel free to ignore this. This is also not very techtalk-specific, but oh well. I. What is this list for/ what is this list not for. (eg techtalk topic thingy) II. How to get help. A. Suggestions of things to try before asking 1. documentation (how to find and how to use) a. HOWTOs (what kind of stuff is in them) (where to find them: http://linuxdoc.org, http://oswg.org, others?) b. man/info (what kind of stuff is in them) (how to use them/find them/search within them) (how to use man, more/less, apropos, info viewer) c. project/distribution web pages & mailing lists (search engine, freshmeat, sourceforge, project.org,net,com) d. random scattered documentation (/usr/doc, /usr/*/doc, etc.., web search) 2. is it a known bug? a. look in bug tracking or faq (if exists) (ref. II.A.1.c above) b. upgrade to latest stable version (if possible) (ref. II.A.1.c above, how to check for later package management versions) 3. strace/gdb (possibly) B. Helpful information to provide and how to get it 1. exact command arguments and output (how to copy/paste, how to use script) 2. system/distribution info (uname, where various distributions store version numbers, how to get kernel/libc/other important stuff versions) 3. installation method (package management, source, binary...) 4. package/program version info (--version, -v, --help, etc.) 5. strace and/or gdb (maybe) III. Actual FAQs A. What distribution should I use? (possible distribution faq) B. How do I do this in Linux? (look in software list sites, search manpages) C. Is there something in Linux similar to this in another os? (look in software list sites) (decribe in detail, not everyone is familiar with every other os, even windows) D. Will this hardware work in Linux? (mostly links to stuff like hardware compatibility list, linux laptop page, Xfree video card list, etc) E. Various modem/ppp questions (winmodems, modem HCL, various modem-related HOWTOs) F. How do I install this 1. how to use package managers (pointers to package manager documentation, maybe a few more frequently used commands) 2. how to compile from source (how to un-tar.gz stuff, how to use ./configure;make;make install, make -n, ) 3. It's won't install, what's wrong (dependency problems, -dev/-devel packages, compile problems, don't have a compiler (configure sometimes spits out a really not-useful error message when it can't find the compiler)) G. It doesn't work, what's wrong (ref II.A) H. etc. IV. Links (mostly references from above, newbie sites, other faqs, other lists, etc.) (possible overlap with web site links? offtopic, the links would probably be more helpful if there was a way to submit them besides bothering Deb, say, something like http://kanga.nu/library/. even more offtopic, it would be nice if other stuff (profiles, software reviews, FAQs, etc) was automated as well. surely the php hackers on this list could implement this easily..) ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] know of a linux-friendly isp in la?
I'm in Northern CA, not Southern CA, but I've never had a problem with Linux -> Earthlink. There's a smidge about Linux connectivity on the Earthlink customer service/help stuff, and there are enough Linux -> Earthlink users that the CNET "Linux Help" message boards are full of "how do I connect to Earthlink using X Y or Z" questions...WITH answers! :) Always a plus. When I dialup to Earthlink, it's either on my Slackware-runnin' ThinkPad, or my desktop system that runs the Corel version of Linux. Completely different modems and dial utilities on the two boxes, but Earthlink's login sequence is nice and standardized, so it works like a charm. Hope that helps - julie ++ | Julie Meloni | | Tech.

Hmm, pray that it's entirely below 1024 cylinders? Or better (if 10GB is below 1024 cyls, but somewhere above that is not), create a small (I'm talking 7-10MB here) /boot partition, where you put your kernels and initrds into, directly after that other OS, then /, swap, /usr adn whatever else. Newer versions of LILO _could_ support kernels after 1024 cylinders, but the BIOS must support it (only very recent ones do this).

As a matter of fact, I have been working on a basic shopping cart this evening. I just got done ordering 50 penguins at $30.00 each. Now all I have to do is figure out where to put them! ROFL!!!

[techtalk] 3Com OfficeConnect Card?
I'm setting up Red Hat Linux on a computer in my mom's store, and I'm now trying to get networking setup. The problem, it's got a 3Com OfficeConnect Ethernet card (3CSOHO100-TX) and I can't find the driver for this card in the kernel or any reference to it in any howtos. Anyone know if I can use this card? If so, how? Or do I have to get another (mom won't be happy about that. :^( ?

Re: [techtalk] 3Com OfficeConnect Card?
It's a 3c95x/vortex based card. We have these in both our windows and linux boxes and they work great with the 3c59x module. I don't think *I* found it listed anywhere either, so we bought them on my assumption that they were 3c59x (hubby wasn't so sure), plugged it in, recompiled with that module and it worked *great*. Been up since at least March powering our server. The 3c59x/vortex module is very easy to find, they are very common cards. -nicole Stephan Zaniolo wrote: > > I'm setting up Red Hat Linux on a computer in my mom's store, and > I'm now trying to get networking setup.

[techtalk] Compaq Presario 1240
Hi All, This laptop comes with a touch pad that is recognized in Mandrake 6.1. This is also a dual boot machine w/win98. It has a ps/2 port for an external mouse but if I use a mouse in windows the pad is disabled automatically, in Linux the pad *and* the mouse works simultaneously. Would anyone know where in Mandrake I could disable the touch pad? It is extremely sensitive and is driving me nuts by placing the cursor all over the place if any of my fingers even hover close to the thing. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you, Phil ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

That's what Deb is currently listidle doing - setting things up so that there's a lot of roles, each with their own manager (profiles, chapters, reviews, FAQs) and that changing sections can be done via a python/zope (current thought) or other interface.
