Hi.. not sure if this is the correct list for this but - why is it that
some pdf documents when viewed in xpdf look great but look crappy when
viewed in gv or kghostview? By crappy I mean that the fonts look ugly
(not as ugly as what one gets in Acrobat with the standard Latex CMR
fonts) but it

Yes there is. Notice the little button for printing? Press P. You must first
define the printer in the configuration file, though.
Yes, I've seen that but I didn't know it was possible to set a printer
in the config file... well, I did that now and it works grea

to achieve this

Hi.. I just upgraded to OS X.3 and looks like the installer wiped the boot

Oh Cool!! That worked... thanks a lot! Btw, why do I need to rerun ybin if the
PRAM reset did the trick? Is there something else that ybin will do?
Thanks,

I'm not sure ;) Try rebooting without rerunning ybin and if it works
you needn't bother.
Yes, I rebooted without running ybin just to check and it worked again..
so I guess I'll just leave it at that then.. :-)
Thanks again,

Stragne ... it does not require xinerama though I believe it does
support it. Maybe the postscript was wrong; it just uses the
ghostscript rendering engine so if it looks OK with other postscript
viewers it should be OK with pspresent.
Yes, I think the postscript may have been bad cos I convert

Yes it's probably a firewall issue but I've so far been unsuccessful in
tracking down the problem. I've checked the router settings and everything
looks fine (also, I can connect other computers using ethernet and they work
fine). I then ran dpkg-reconfigure etherconf and selected dhcp and the e

Hi,
While I'm still hoping for a solution to the network/router problem I'm having,
I decided to compile the 2.6 benh kernel. I downloaded the source using rsync
from mvista yesterday. The compile fails with the error below.. not sure what
the problem is.. Please let me know if there's a fix
I have a suspicion that Jim's run into the same problem that I'm having... Jim
- are you behind a router by any chance? If yes, then try hooking the machine
up directly to the cable modem/DSL/broadband connection. Let me know if this
works..

Hi.. I've been trying to get a 2.6.6 kernel going at my end... I first
downloaded the stable 2.6 kernel from kernel.org, compiled it and tried
booting. It gets to the white screen immediately after the boot prompt screen
and stops... so it doesn't boot. I then searched and found the 2.6.6 kernel
.
Thanks,

Hi.. where do I get config-2.6.6-powerpc from? apt doesn't seem to know..
google can't seem to find it either.. or did you mean the default .config that
came with the kernel (the

Hi.. I compiled the 2.6.6 kernel again, used config-2.6.6-powerpc, the patches
from kernel-patches-2.6.6. I used make-kpkg for the first time. The compile

Never mind.. I was able to mount the partition and created an initrd for the

On those recent G4 models, the bogomips should be approx. equal to
