You could install the client software from oracle. I have oracle 8.1.7
and it works fine. I haven't tried any free tools. There
I am using pdflatex to make .pdf files of a document. It prints just fine
but looks bad when viewing with acroread. Is there some trick to using
different fonts to make the screen display look good? I have tried
using a couple of postscript fonts as well as the usual tex fonts (ccr).

Does anyone have a grip configuration for cddb that works?
xmcd works but I can't seem to figure out exactly what I
have to put into grip to make that one work.

I use exceed on nt all the time (required to use nt @work...). You can use
any
number of connection methods. Since I am on

In a first pass, the 1834 was cheaper than the 1832 by $10 or so. My main
concern is the via chipset. Do you have the optional isa slot?

I have to upgrade and need comments on motherboards. The two I am
considering
most are the tyan tiger 133 (S1834) and the tyan tiger 100 (S1832). The
s1834
is a little faster and uses the via apollo pro133a chipset. The s1832 uses
the intel 440bx chipset.

I seem to recall that lots of services were broken out into
their own packages. ftpd was one of those. There are at

it. rsh-client, rsh-server and others were in that group
also. The list of what got broken out into separate packages

What happened to in.rexecd (and the rest of them)? They used
to be in netstd in slink. I upgraded this morning and they
went missing. I got the Contents-i386.gz from potato and they
were not in there. Were they dropped on purpose? split out into
another package? When will they be restored?

Do you use dhcp to get your address? If you do, the linux
dhcpcd releases it each time you shutdown so every time you
reboot you get a new ip-addr. MAC addr is another story.
That should be fixed to the adaptor and never change. (Well,
almost never. There are a few that have mac addresses that

found 2.2.10 to be pretty solid. It seems faster
on my tired old 486-66 cast-off that's running samba. I have heard
of file system problems but haven't experienced anything like that.

Yes. It happened to me on Wed. I'm using 2.0.36. I figured it was
a blunder and would be replaced within a day or two. The version just
before this one worked fine.

If it is *after* the job it is probably the printer network interface
and not linux. I had a similar banner from a laserjet printer with
an hp network interface in it. The fix is to telnet to the printer
(yes, you can do that) and set the banner feature to off. There is
a simple help screen. I
check out the man page for the "kill" system call. It's in section 2.
You should have the pid since you started the child...

It does that because that's the way windows works. The file creation
times are kept on copy. Samba probably doesn't do anything. The copy
program (xcopy, copy, explorer, etc.) probably sets the timestamp at
the end of the copy.

zombie processes are the remains of a process that exited. The reason
they hang around is that the parent process didn't do a "wait" on them.
As soon as the parent process exits, the zombie should be inherited by

Just a guess. I think it sees the whole thing. Disk drive makers
sometimes use 1000bytes as 1k, whereas, most folks use 1024. The disk
folks think 1,000,000,000 bytes is 1G. Others think 1,073,741,824 bytes
