Interestingly enough, this was exactly my idea when I started this little

like the idea of a standard one, but having a starting point in the form of
some nice rc's, and more importantly a large collection of nice icons :), I
think it would be helpful. I have my collection, and will make it public

Subject: ImageMagick / libXpm.so.4
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 1994 10:40:40 +0000
Hi,
I am looking for Linux binaries for the ImageMagick suite. I have downloaded
ImageMagick 3.0 from sunsite, but the binaries require a shared library:
libXpm.so.4. I have libXpm.so.3, and I cannot find a binary for .so.4.
I also note that ImageMagick 3.3 is around, I can compile it without all
the goodies: JPEG, TIFF, XPM, but I'd like at least JPEG. Xpm-3.4 is
also released and is said to be incompatible with Xpm-3.x (x <= 3), but
the Makefile does not build Linux shared libraries, in case that is the
.so.4 I'm looking for.
So, does anyone have a working ImageMagick 3.x w/JPEG/TIFF, with all
associated shared libraries (or a statically linked one)?
Thanks
Neil

Pretty well everyone who
1) has enough computing resources and
2) uses Linux as a desktop machine
will be running X.
People not using X because of the first reason are always getting smaller
and people not in the second are using Linux as some kind of server and
don't care.

Run named will accomplish just that. Buy O'Reiley "DNS and Bind" to

Ez has no multilingual capabilities, as far as I know, and I don't
believe it has been designed to be Unicode or ISO 10646-capable. This
is rather odd, since it was designed for multimedia use. One of the
primary academic uses of multimedia technology is language instruc-

Aside:
Personally, I don't that dial-up character-based I/O is the future of
computing. To bend over backwards to suit this constituency would be
to cripple any forward-looking WP, and to slow development.

That's certainly a matter of opinion (and probably a hot topic for
debate as well). :)
I switched from Linux to FreeBSD specifically because Linux has
that sleazy sysV-ish feel.
IMHO, of course, and YMMV. :)
P.S. Linux is a fine product. I'm not slamming it; I just happen to
have an irrational dislike of all that is System V. :)

Really? I would imagine that it wouldn't bee too difficult to use diff, rsc,

While we're on the subject of editing, LaTeX and troff, are there any
online guides/manuals/explications for LaTeX and troff that some poor
creature like myself can ftp and read, and which /themselves/ are
strict ASCII unformatted? The 'Gentle introduction to TeX' is, in
fact, in TeX and thus somewhat unusable to me.
Similarly, are there any non-X .dvi viewers that make reading them

also incl. a scsi for cd-rom. Is it possible? Should I get one with a bios

should I get one that has cache (again I understand that this is a trade off
in 90% of the cases).
My system is a 486/66 with 8 meg on a VLB, 340 & 540 ide hd, cd-rom,
floppy tape backup, and am a single user (no networking or extremely

The only way I know of to run setuid scripts is with a "wrapper" program
compiled in C. This of course can be very dangerous - but you already
know that. The C program would have basically 1 line of code that uses
exec to execute the program passed on the command line. You could then
execute it with a command like:
wrp scriptfile
(where wrp is the compiled program and is setuid root)
Hope this gets you started in the right direction.

Ah. Bob has finally deigned to provide the copy of the post I asked him

The originator of this thread DID indeed say that all that was required

It was quite acceptable. I even managed to get a login prompt over my modem

This will work, I suspect, with all the caveats that Andreas describes
- and it is what I was going to do first. But, it then occurred to me
that Linux can mount MSDOS file systems... so this is what I did:
- Create a MSDOS partition for Windows swap, about 10MB - call it
drive G: in MSDOS, /dev/hda3 on Linux.
- Start up windows, tell it to use drive G: for swap, and allocate all
but 50K to it (just in case). Windows complains that it cannot use
all of that - I ignore the warning :-) Windows reports 9796K of swap.
- Quit Windows, boot Linux
- In /etc/fstab, add something like this (I am not at home...)
# partition mount dir filesys format
/dev/hda3 /winswap msdos
Drive G: will then be mounted under linux as /winswap.
- Create a symbolic link, from the shell:
# ln -s /winswap/386spar.par /dev/swapfile
(not sure that is the exact correct name for the Windows swap file,
but you can just do an ls there and see...) I just wanted the
symlink, in case I ever decided to rearrange where that swap file
lives...
- In /etc/rc.multi (or wherever your setup activates swap) add these
lines:
# add Windows swap file as Linux swap
mkswap /dev/swapfile 9796
swapon /dev/swapfile
And voila, Linux will swap to that same Windows swap file.
- You must also remember to undo this on shutdown. In /etc/rc.halt,
add the lines:
# disable Windows swap file
swapoff /dev/swapfile
*before* the "umount -a" line. I suspect nothing untoward will
happen if you forget this - but it is the "proper" thing to do...
:-)
I have read that the Linux msdos file system is slower than the
others, and I suspect that writing through the file system code is
slower than writing directly to the raw partition - but it lets me
reuse the disk space allocated to the Windows swap...
If people are interested, and this does not seem to work as is, I can
email you the exact changes from my Linux setup, rather than this
sketch drawn from memory...

Subject: Warning against UMC 486SX chips
Hello,
I've been testing the last couple of days a couple of machines with a
UMC 486SX processor. It appears that they are not sold in the U.S. because
UMC is afraid of Intel-lawsuits. But in Europe (and the rest of the world???)
these chips are available now (and are very cheap).
Well as it appears, Linux has a problem with these chips: kernel panics!
I read an article in the german magazine C'T and they reported the chip
worked with MSLOSS&MS-Widows, but had a big problem with WIN-NT. Apparently
a 32-bit problem.
I'm not sure whether UMC is aware of the problem, so that there are already
newer versions of it. If you want to buy a system with it: try to boot
Linux with a boot floppy, if it boots, I guess it'll work OK.
Hope to have warned everybody just in time!

Hello Linuxers ,
I have got some probs to make partitions .
When I use fdisk and I try to create partition over 528 MB ( or 540 MB ? )
I always get following error message from fdisk:
Partition X has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1023,15, 63) logical=(1072, 15, 63)
May I ignore this warning or there is any solution ?
I've got 1GB WD HD, VLB, EIDE, and I'd like to install Slackware 2.0.
Radovan
