Stevens' APUE Examples for Linux
by Manish Jethani 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

Does anyone have the Stevens' ``Advanced Programming in UNIX Environment'' (APUE) examples source code for *Linux*. I've downloaded the original sources from ftp.uu.net but it doesn't have a linux version (only svr4, sun and 4.4bsd); and even the svr4 version doesn't compile out of the box on my system. Instead of making changes myself, I thought it'd be nice if someone has already done it. Manish -- I have a very small mind and must live with it. -- E. Dijkstra

2.4.13 + XFS
by Vikram Rangnekar 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

Hi everyone, I am currently running kernel 2.4.13 with XFS for my root partition. Since everyone was talking about ext3 and reiserfs I was just wondering how many people out there are using alternatives such as XFS and JFS. btw XFS is way cool and fast as hell. Also I'm working on an iptables alternative for the IBM linux contest and purely out of curiosity I was wondering how many of you guys are developing any big linux app or utility. I dont ususally read about any linux programming stuff on this list, and just wanted to get to know more people into big time linux programming. regards Vicky

script to fetch dictionary.com meanings

If someone really intends running this script on some of her documents, please tar-gzip all the dictionary.com meanings and send it to me. I don't have a good Net connection. If your tarball is bigger than 80kb, upload it somewhere and send me the link. Tnx.

by Manish Jethani 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

I have 2 disks, primary master (Linux) and secondary master (Windows). I've set lilo to boot from hdc1 for label "dos". But when I try to boot into dos, I get the message "Invalid System Disk, Press Any Key To Continue". hdc1 is Windows 98. Any ideas? Tnx.
