Actually, that was a highly irresponsible thing to do. I do use Microsoft
Outlook
and Netscape both, and I am subscribed to the Linux User list because I am
trying
to set up a Linux system at the place I work.
It would be nice to know if I have a new virus, considering that you may
have sent

Some thoughts: (1) We were not spammed from a list, we received targeted
spam. I guess
that means that the sender wants to pay the $2000. I say bill 'em.
(2) If the result of coming up higher in the search engine list is that we
get more spam, I wonder if we could return $30 of the fee in order
Okay, you have to look at a file named something like hosts in the directory
etc.
/etc/hosts
See if it is there. That file then needs to define all of the other systems
along with names. So first, you need a "local only" IP address for your
network. This should be 192.168.x.y , where x can be
Okay, let me first say that I am *not* advertising anything. I have posted
here before (recently too), trying to get my system going, and am completely
interested in Linux.
But there is a website that I think should be of interest to any linux
developer, and perhaps
some others who are not.

My advice, were you in the US, follows. However, I have no idea if similar
used-computer
prices exist where you are. So you'll have to judge for yourself.
1: get a cheap 88, 86, 286, or 386 system (say, $20-40) (stay away from
IBM, though, due to hardware incompatibilities later).
2. Buy a big
You know, I'm sitting here using
Microsoft Windows and Explorer. (I do use linux,
but
not for this system.)
And one of the things that makes me
just a little bit paranoid about those things
is the question of whether there
might be a new virus attached. After all,
there is a huge list
I'm way out here in the boondocks
(spelled Lithuania), and it's rather nice, but
internet is awfully expensive.
I've been thinking for the future 2-3 years, and
it occurred to me that Hughes offers
a satellite modem setup (DirectWeb)
for super-fast downloads. It is essentially similar t
Right now I am using loadlin.exe in my d:\linux directory,
with a batch file "linux.bat" that has the statements
D:
CD LINUX
loadlin linux root=/dev/hdb4 swap=/dev/hdb2 mem=4m
(Of course, your mem statement would reflect your memory, and your swap and
root
would reflect your own partiti
Okay, I have my system up, my
ethernet NIC installed, and am getting to like this.
However, I was playing with the
network utilities, trying to figure out how to link to our local Win95/98
Ethernet-10 network, and having little to no success. Part of the reason, I
suspect, is that the W
I have Debian 1.3, and managed to
bring my system up with my 4 Megs of Ram
and 80386. Thanks, all for the help in that. However,
I have two new questions
relating to a new problem.
I still can't bring my CompexRL2000A
card up. On the Drivers Installation
page, I can choose NE2000 , but
Hi,
We have a windows
network and I'm trying to set up a Linux intranet email-server.
Right now, we have
in the computer a COMPEX RL2000A-PnP card. Since there
are no jumpers or switches, I think
that it is probably automatically Plug-N-Play, which
may be a problem. But may
Before I begin, let me apologize if
this is a double. I didn't realize it, but I sent the first one
before I was a member, so I am not
sure that it went through.

Hi,
I have an old copy

We are trying to set up an old 4-MB,
