Linux video problems
by A M Morawala 17 Mar '02

17 Mar '02

I have installed RH Linux 6.2 on my PC: AMD K6/400, 128 MB Ram, S3 TRIO 3D/2X with 4 MB , Samsung 55v mionitor. After successfully booting, the screenbalnks out . I hear 4 short beeps. The video comes on after I press any key. This makes it difficult to use the system. I have installed same Linux 6.2 on my older Pentium I PC. Could teh AMD CPU have anything to do with this? Win 98 works fine on the same PC. Please help. A M Morawala. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Here are the answers to the Linux/Internet Quiz. > Q1. Torvalds about a certain person X's rant about Open Source Software: > > "I'd rather listen to Isaac Newton than to X. He may have been > dead for almost three hundred years, but despite that he stinks > up the room less." > > Simple, who is this X Torvalds is talking about? Craig Mundie of Microsoft. > Q2. Who in the Linux world doesnt love Tux. Give me the collective noun > for a group of penguins. A Waddle of Penguins or A Raft of Penguins. Penguins spend quite some time in water. A group of penguins in water is called a "Raft of Penguins:" while that on ice is called a "Waddle of Penguins". This was decided at the 4th International Penguin Conference in Chile in September 2000. > Q3. About which application was Linux Journal talking when it said' "You > know your program has caught on when people start to use its name as a > verb." Further down the same article quotes about this application, > "It's no coincidence that the spread of this application has coincided > with Linux distributions finally paring down the menu of potentially > exploitable services offered by default." It is Fyodor's Nmap. The article was the Editor's Choice Awards and nmap was adjudged the best Security Tool > Q4. Slightly away from Linux, but still on a very interesting topic. The > author of this seminal work ends his acknowledgements with the quote > "and AT&T Bell Labs for firing me and making this all possible." While > talking about this book, Wired magazine says, "The book National > Security Agency never wated to be published" Too many clues already. > Which book, which author. Applied Cryptography, by Bruce Scheneir. > Q5. We all know Linus was studying at the Department of Computer > Sciences, University of Helsinki when he started Linux. All you gotta do > is tell me his mother tongue. Though Linus grew up in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, his mother tongue is Swedish. Finland, has a significant Swedish speaking population and they call themselves finlandssvensk. > Q6. Vinod Valloppillil, of Microsoft, certainly said quite a few > flattering things about Linux. Some of his quotes are given below: > > "Linux represents a best-of-breed UNIX, that is trusted in > mission critical applications" > > "I previously had IE4/NT4 on the same box and by comparison the > combination of Linux / Navigator ran at least 30-40% faster when > rendering simple HTML + graphics." > > "Linux has been deployed in mission critical environments with > an excellent pool of public testimonials." > > The question, dear friends is where did Vinod Valloppillil, go > around making these flattering commments. In the (in)famous Halloween Documents. In case you havent heard of Halloween documents, now is the time to go to: www.opensource.org/halloween/halloween1.html > Q7. Who or what does Linus Torvalds refer to as Linus v2.0? Patricia Miranda Torvalds, his daughter.

[Announce] HTML.Template java
by Philip S Tellis 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

Announcing HTML.Template java package to use HTML Templates in your java programs. HTML.Template aims to be 100% compatible with the HTML::Template perl module. http://html-tmpl-java.sourceforge.net/ Distributed under GPL/Artistic licence (you choose). Why I wrote it: I really don't like java, and I really like perl, so I prefer to write my code in perl and then port it to java if I'm required to. HTML.Template means my templates stay the same. besides, it separates design, content and logic, which is what good programming is all about anyway. Philip PS: The CVS has some bugs fixed. -- "I am, therefore I am." -- Akira

Re: [ILUG-BOM] removing make installed files
by Amish Mehta 13 Mar '02

13 Mar '02

Generally, there is also a command 'make uninstall' but it all depends on Makefile. So you should keep Makefile in case you plan to uninstall the software installed by make. Its like 'uninstall.isu' files on windows. Amish. >> is there any method by which i can remove the files which are instlled by >> make or make installed
