Hi,
I just got myself a new keyboard and after buying and installing it,
I noticed to my dismay that it doesn't sport an "INSERT" key =(
Now the problem is that I'm used to using the "SHIFT + INS"
pasting shortcut in Konsole.
I know this sounds stupid but would anyone know of any
alternate method for pasting using only the keyboard ?
Also, if there's any way that I can change the SHIFT + INS shortcut
for pasting in Konsole.
I tried using the ALT+E key to show me the "Edit" menu but
it wouldn't work.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Abhijeet

Hello All,
A few days ago I got a chance to get my hands on an IBM server machine
for linux experimentation. It was at my friend's workshop and he wanted
to load RedHat. As I had RHEL 3 WS, I loaded it with 'All' as the
packages option. Unfortunately it did not detect the network card. The
IBM driver cds contained linux source drivers that needed to be
compiled. I did as per the instructions in the cd's readme file. however
the make, make install happened but the final instructions were not
clear and the process was a waste of a few hours.
The reason for writing this mail is not to find out what went wrong but
to suggest to the kernel writers that just like the Windows OS, Linux
too could have a streamlined and simple method of installing device
drivers.
In Windows, there are 2 methods.
1) An executable file that is run and it does the entire pprocess of
installing the driver files.
2) A set of ini and other files in a folder. The device manager or new
device installation wizard asks for the location of the driver files and
one has to simply point to the folderthat contains the driver files.
Now Linux has evolved from a complicated command line system into a full
scale gui system with easyto use interfaces that reduce installation
time and effort. So it should not be difficult for kernel writers to
incorporate a standard interface that automatically loads device drivers
from source file folders ( the ones that are .tar.gz ). The other
opption is to create rpm or deb files that will do the entire
installation, but that will be too system specific and with too many
distros, it may be difficult. The first option will allow the system to
automatically create relavent driver files from the source files.
Regards,
Rony.

Hi,
We are an engineering/manufacturing company with a setup of 25 pcs. We are
using Linux on server (mail, samba) and linux/xp/nt on the workstations.
We are looking for someone who can manage the network.
Since the setup is not that large, full time commitment (9 to 5) may not
be required. Those interested can mail me off the list.

You might try GNU Source Install. http://www.gnu.org/software/sourceinstall

I am sorry, ...
In few of my recent mails to the list, I have
unknowingly allowed my "biiiggg" signature to be
displayed.
I'll try my best to avoid it in my future emails to
the list.

Last night I shutdown my workstation properly.
This morning when I booted the system, evolution 2.4.0 (SuSE 10.0 x64)
would display and then crash immediately. Logged out of my X session
and re-logged in - same behaviour. Same behaviour manifested for a
newly created userid as well, eliminating the possibility of some
corrupt setting in my regular login.
Refreshed the evolution related RPMs (rpm -h -U --replacepkgs ...) still
no go.
Finally, rebooted the system and logged in usign my regular userid and
voila evolution works!
To capture some debugging info, I started evolution from the CLI. I see
the same initial warning messages in both cases.
Any idea/suggestion what could have gone wrong with the first boot
causing the problem is welcome so that I can look for it when it happens
next. Went thru /var/log/messages and found a kernel message shown
below.
<evolution crashes>

The last meet was on 19th February 2006. And now, its
directly on the 26th March 2006?
A very big gap in time? Earlier (probably) it was held
every two weeks! I express this because, I may not be
able to attend and I think I miss out on a great
opportunity to learn something !
Any specific reasons for such a delay..? (Just curious)
