Procmail and Pine

Hi all, I'm trying to get procmail to sort my messages into several folders under ~/mail. Right now they're all in my inbox and it's hell reading through them. I've read through the man pages for procmail and procmailrc, and I've checked out a few links from the procmail FAQ (I think). I ran acr

Well, I'm not on a ppp-based connection. I'm on DHCP. And I'm on a PCMCIA Ethernet card. I can ftp and run apt fine. I can also ping people. But I can't get e-mail (just realized to go to freshmeat.org & get install-sendmail (thanks Marshal)) to work that one. Netscape is being annoying. I'm

poor fonts in Netscape - need more X fonts? xfs? resource setting?

Besides all the other problems I've been having with this unreliable piece of crap called Netscape (Communicator), I'm having problem with fonts that are scaled to a size where they are extremely blocky. What is strange is that if I change the font size preferences, the blocky fonts don't change

Re: multiple boot? win98, winNT, linux?

I believe the only way you can choose between Win98 and NT on the same partition is to use the NT partition manager. Fortunately, you can get the WinNT partition manager to boot linux as as option. copy the first 512 bytes of your linux partiton into a file ie: # dd if=/dev/sda3 of=somefile bs=1

Re: multiple boot? win98, winNT, linux?

There is a free utility called partition manager which contains a compact boot manager. This boot manager allows your to boot multiple OS in any partition. I installed win98 on hd1 and linux on hd3. I partitioned hd2 as NFS file system and was going to install NT. You may search the web for Partit
