Thanks Lawrence and Stephen, I downloaded ircii and it looks better documented than bitchx. I still don't know how to deal with the scripts, but they look promising and fun, and I even found a mailing list for ircii. Horacio

bitchx (sucks!)

Sorry about that (), but even if the program itself is damn good, the docs and /help really suck... further more, #bitchx SUCKS. I've been desperately trying to get help around, and even went to #bitchx at irc.chat.org, just to be kicked out every time I try to join it, the reason being "spammers,

X-Window and AfterStep

x27;s the reason for such behaviour? Also, I can run `startx' as a normal user, and even as root, though I can't run it if I'm logged in as SU, is this normal? homega:~# startx bash: startx: command not found TIA, Horacio.

Maximal Mount Check

I know a maximal mount check is a normal system check but, is there any percentage of non-contiguous files worrying? Last check I had 1.0% on / and /opt, and 7.3% on /home. TIA Horacio.

pkzip and libg++.so.27

I downloaded pklin251.exe, to be able to work with .zip files. I moved pklin251.exe to /usr/local and, according to pkware's site: # chmod 755 pklin251.exe # ./pklin251.exe result: # can't load library libg++.so.27 eventhough: $ dpkg -L libg++272 /. /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8 /usr/

bitchx and libncurses4

I downloaded bithcx_75-2.deb from slink, and it says it depends on libncurses4. All I've been able to find has been libncurses4-dbg_4.2-3.deb, which depends on libncurses4-dev, and libncurses4-dev_4.2-3.deb which in turn depends libncurses4... what provides libncurses4, or where may I find that li

My apologies for this off-topic, but I need some info from Boston. My sister is staying in Boston for a couple of terms and she would like to get a second-hand laptop for herself. I'd too like to take advantage on her staying and get some components for myself. If there's anyone from Boston who

Problems with smail

Hi, every time I connect and run `runq -v' to have the queued messages sent, I receive a *long* log from every message, plus a long time waiting. Prior to this, the logs used to keep short and mail sent quite fast. It looks "as if" smail tried to reach every address as if there was no ISP in the
