Re: Netscape?

Damn, went ftp.netscape.com, and it looks like they dont compile one for linux on sparc. Shit I had no idea, I personally, I have a couple of sparc classics and an IPX, none of which I ever bothered trying to install netscape on because they're so slow. At work I was going to convert a dozen sp

Re: up to date kernel programming

I never have looked at it, but O'Reilly publishes a book on device driver programming in linux (ISBN: 1565922921). Hopefully it would meet O'Reilly's usually high standards. HTH, Daniel On Sun, Apr 01, 2001, Sebastiaan wrote: > Hi, > > can someone point me to a more upt to date document abou

what does the following error occur when typing text in netscape?

specifically I'll be typing something in a search query box, for example, and certain letters will appear as -, that is, a hyphen. This behaviour seems also shows up for text displayed by netscape in certain fonts and it varies over time during a single instance of netscape. I am running Potato.

routing statements

Where does one add routing statements in Debian? Is it done automatically or do we just add it to the bottom of some file; like /etc/rc.local ?? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada

/etc/apt/sources.list

Is there a public 'sources.list' that can be downloaded. Something more than what I have. I just installed Debian and I have just the default list. Maybe this is not important but yet the debian system seems to thrive on that list?? Anyone have a comprehensive list or know where to get one. --
