[techtalk] bash exec persistent confusion...
I was (am) having trouble with a script on one of my web pages and so at the bash prompt I typed: exec counter.cgi Even though the file is clearly there and I can edit it, etc, bash responds: bash: /var/www/cgi-bin/counter.cgi: no such file or directory Other scripts in the directory work fine! Just not this one... Any ideas? Thanks, Walt -~ Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.

Just >not this one... Any ideas? This sounds like one of my classic errors of the past.. :) The problem is not that the script can't be found, it's actually related to the first line of the script itself. If you edit the script you'll find the first line will be: #! /usr/bin/perl Or something along those lines. This is the bit that's causing the error. It's what is actually being used to execute the script. You just need to make sure it has the correct location of the script "interpreter" in that line.

[techtalk] Linux - Windows System
Hi, I've been using linux for 1.5 years now and it has completely replaced my windows desktop.. but.. after 1.5 years i'm really anxious to play Baldors Gate again (and discworld noir, and heroes of m&m, ...) and since I'm doing a major upgrade (P200MMX->AMD A-900) anyway I'm thinking of installing W2K as well.. So my question is what's the best tactic ? - with dual boot (on a second HD) but i don't like rebooting a lot - use vmwarez (wont this be too slow for games?) - use wine (is that suitable for gaming purposes? or also too slow?) Using a second pc is silly becoz i only need windows for gaming purposes. Second question : Has anybody got experience with the Guillemot/Hercules Cougar Video Edition card? This is a 2D/3D video card which also includes a s/video IN to watch tv on the pc.. I know that the video part is supported on linux but i was wondering about the tv input part..

Rebooting a workstation isn't that big of a deal... mine takes 70 to 80 seconds to boot either NT 4.0 or Slackware GNU/Linux. My experience with dual booting has been extremely positive, so I highly recommend it.

Re: [techtalk] Linux - Windows System
I just bought another HD and that's what houses my win product. The NT want's to be "main boot HD" so I let it because LILO still asks which OS you want to boot into. The default is Linux. HDs aren't really expensive anymore so $150 did the trick for a 20GB 7200RPM speed. Also, that way, when windows destroys itself and needs reinstalling I don't have to also reinstall my SuSE.

RE: [techtalk] Linux - Windows System
VMWare doesn't support DirectX yet, so that is out. WINE is iffy at best on games...so I wouldn't count on it. The best bet is to dual boot.

Re: [techtalk] Linux - Windows System
Just a little thing here... Why do you say you must reinstall Suse when you reinstall windows... this can be done without re-installing Linux.. Corrrect me if Im wrong but all you need is a linux boot disk. Once you have re-installed windoze, it always without any kind of warning remplace your boot sector, so you boot with your bootdisk then issue the lilo command and lilo is re-installed as it was before... And for your question Liese: I diffenetly suggest a dual boot... Wine and VMWare wont do any good for games. Another thing, I wouldn't suggest win2k... as it is new and also full of good ol' M$ bugs... My setup is this. Fujitsu 6.4 Gig == Windows WD 6.4 gig == Linux 20gig data for the two of em' I use HD Tray for switching between my linux and windows... so each of them have their own boot sector...

Re: [techtalk] Linux - Windows System
Patrick, When last did you use wine? I do agree that it is not the best solution for games, But the latest versions seems to be doing very well with wincrap software. I play Starcraft all the time under wine without any windoze partition. I have also run Caesar III and some other proggies under wine with no problems only thing that ever crashed major on me, with wine, was IE4. (but I kinda expected that) Althou I would recommend a dual boot System, all I'm saying is don't just throw wine away.
