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.

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

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.

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.

hi,
i am trying to install a ne2000 compatible jumperless ethernet card on a
rh 7.1. but it is not working. could anyone pls tell me some work around
for this? i feel that the problem is due to correct addr and interrupt
setting but how do i configure something when i don't know the
settings? also where do i get to see a list of kernel modules available to
handle the card?
thanx
