You can also buy a program "Partition Magic" -- costly for the use, about
$70 bucks, but it can move the dos partition up by say 32Meg. Then you
can put a /boot partition in that first 32 Meg and the rest of linux can
go anywhere you like. The /boot partition can be as small as 2Meg, but

I just recently jumped on the seti bandwagon. I downloaded the
unix client (text only) -- but there is reference to an 'xseti'
add-on that plots the seti data. Does anyone know where I can
download it? I couldn't find it on the setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu

I'm thinking I'd like to convert my mail server
and laptop from SuSE to Mandrake. Mandrake has better/easier to use
configuration (chkconfig) and security settings/options. It's also
compiled for 586's and above, yielding speed improvements.
So the big question is how do I do it. I have partit

What shell are you using?
root's scripts are generally in /root, though there can be global
scripts in /etc/profile.d that get called for everyone.
If you are using bash, you might look for a .bashrc to put a -x in

Oh -- another thing about Dell -- all or most of their upgrades -- flash
BIOS, DIAG's, are in ".EXE" format -- which means you need access to
a Windoze machine to extract them to floppies. Why they can't just
provide them in a tar'ed zip format as well, I dunno.
Right now, for example, I copied

I suppose it is possible that the keyboard would use the USB
hardware internally, but I've not heard of such a thing with a laptop.
Even so, USB does work for keyboards, but it also works slowly. I
had to use it when bringing up an SGI Visual Workstation (pain) that
had a USB keyboard wit

I'm slowly in the process of moving all of my server functions from
IRIX to Linux. I've been running imapd on IRIX for years -- it's
pretty good about handling multiple clients -- if a new request
comes in, it closes the previous request -- so I only ever saw
1 imapd.
I've switched to a Linux

I'm trying to autoset the DISPLAY value when I log in remotely.
Under Sunos, the remote system name was output by the 'who -m' command,
and under IRIX it was in REMOTEHOST, but I am not readily seeing how
to handle this in SuSE 6.3. I thought about trying to pick values
out of the 'last' command,

If you are worried about cracking before you have everything setup,
you could always ifdown the interface to the outside world unless
you are testing or 'ready for the world'. That's assuming you aren't
using it for anything like email yet, of course...
