some local messgae for folks in our LUG: I've just deleted windoze from my HD, and I'm not very sure you can receive this fucking message yet. Anyway, I need help. First, things do not seem to be such easy as I thought 5 hours ago. AT that time I'm just too excited about jianghao's show up in jingling Library, but, sigh!!
Here comes the big Q: O.K. I've installed 750M RedHat on /dev/hda1, and the other part of my box is debian. I got xemacs to run to let me input chinese very well, I got the sound up under RedHat too, I will test modem tommorrow morning. Wish me good luck. The problem is that I will fail on the inner modem most probably, and due to some obscure reasons, I cannot type chinese under debian, I mean, ok, are you following me still? Thank you! I mean I cannot touch net from RedHat, and I cannot touch Chinese from debian, and I need Chinese and net both, so what's the deal? eh? Can I use the mail spool from debian to send and receive email, and I will shift to debian to send and receive email to/from the Internet, is this possible, I mean I wanna use /debian/var/spoool/mail under RedHat, is this possible? Please help! My modem conflicts with oss sound driver, and I do not wanna give up the nice /dev/audio under redhat, I use debian with modem without sound, I use redhat with sound without modem, and there's no chinese under debian while redhat can support chinese very well, and I need chinese with email aka net. O.K. I just dream to got a simple solution. I have no clue to setup the problem in the way I'm thinking: a spool not under the control of the system! The Second Q is: I could use Xfree86 with virtual desktop set to 640x1600 (exactly 640x1600, compare with 800x600, 640x480 etc), and the resolution of monitor: 640x480 under debian. But I cannot do this with AccelX (I use AccelX for RedHat), I think AccelX should do better. But AccelX only give choice of Virtual Desktop a little bigger than 1024x768, I wanna 640x1600! Any advice? (I know it it weird! Gee! 640x1600 w/S3Trio64V+ 2M and a garbage 14" monitor) The Trird Q is: I share the /home among debian and redhat, the same user I am under both systems: zhaoway. same directory. But I wanna different windowmanager. How can I achieve this? Right now, I test [ -f /etc/HOSTNAME ] to decide whether .xinitrc is under debian or under redhat. Any other solutions? and I seem to need different PS1 and some other settings different in .bashrc and/or .bash_profile for RedHat and debian. How could I achieve this? And I'd like both system share some of the libs and header files and some of the apps' binary 'cause I've only got 2.1G for 2 Linux systems! Is this possible? How much could I got to share among them? Sorry for my english! U.G.L.Y. Sorry! Hope that you could understand me! If not, I will post again, just tell me you do not understand my ugly english, then I will post again. Thank you all! -- zhaoway Member of NJLUG
