use DSelect until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a very simple newbie question.
I have downloaded a bunch of .java source code, but when I edit it with
VI, there is a carriage return at the end of each line. What is the
standard Linux way of filtering those out?
Thanks very much for your time.

>Nice. So, what - you're a martyr now? Give us a break. <
No, I'm not a martyr. I was just trying to be funny.I shouldn't have
put that part in, since it didn't add to the analogy.
I'm sorry I started the whole thing. I'm going to unsubscribe from the list
and leave my Linux box idle for a
#x27;ve upset people by
speaking up, I apologize. I didn't mean to make trouble.
And once again I would like to thank the people who have helped me with my
Linux troubles, and once again I would like to point out that this community
is one of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever dipped into.

ng, they put my corpse on a big wooden frame and
mount it on the side of the mall with the caption:

>I don't know your parents well enough to comment on the bastard part, but
if you want to take without giving, that pretty much is the textbook
definition of selfish.<
his hurts the acceptance of Linux.Anyway, I will now shut up about it.
Thanks again for all the time and energy you have spent helping me, and I
hope I have not earned a reputation as a pariah who is stupid, lazy and
selfish, since I will no doubt need more help...

to help the poor helpless newbies, but because by reapportioning the group
effort, the group could come closer to accomplishing their goal.

or friendly well-written
explanations. I have saved these messages in my Linux-help mail folder,
but I pity the next poor guy who just wants to login remotely to his newly

up reformating the partition after a week of failure would instead join the
community.The question is, what does the Linux community want?

tion.
Once again, let me stress that I think the Linux community is *extremely*
polite and helpful, and that Linux is good and there is lots of great doc
out there. I'm not attacking anybody or anything. I'm simply trying to
say (1), (2), (3) above.

by spending less time coming up with new kernels and versions
of everything, and more time looking at why people who try Linux turn away
after a short experiment.

I
made a 'indentification' and an authorization file in the ~/.ssh directory
along with the keys created by ssh-keygen, but I really don't know what I'm
doing. I just tried to do what it said in the HOWTO link above, and nothing
seems to work.

re firewall anyway.
Thanks again for the help. I do have another mega-newbie question. I
was using CONTROL-ALT-DELETE to shutdown my Linux system. Since it
auto-starts the GNOME stuff now, this no longer does anything. What is the
command to shut down?

, and
perhaps break my X stuff again etc. (You see I'm used Microsoft stuff,
which tends to muck itself up just terribly everytime you let it check
itself for new hardware.) So my question is, if I just go in there and
mark 'telenetd', will it only download stuff that I ask for, and po
en making primary or
logical partitions. Since I'm only making three, it didn't seem to make any
difference at all if the 2nd two were logical or primary.
Thanks again for the help.

computer the same IP address, so I booted Win95 and used 'winipcfg.exe' to
see what the firewall was assigning. I wrote that down and give it to Linux
as a static IP and it worked.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. I think someday when I understand Linux
and networking be
wnload the rest of Linux hopefully, once I can work out the partition
problem.

man pages yet. Typing
man ifconfig
gives me 'command not found'. Is there a way to look at man pages with
another system (Windows) running a browser?

s: no sockets drivers loaded!; I don't know if this is ok, or bad.
The HOWTO's are filled with information about setting up this or that, but
I couldn't find anything that helps people who don't know any unix to
troubleshoot anything like this.

unreachable'.
If I boot Win95 on the same system, I can access the internet with no
trouble.
My ultra-newbie question is:
What steps do I take to troubleshoot this? Any help would be appreciated.
