OK. So I have started with emacs. If I do Lisp, I have to do emacs, they say. But tell me, does emacs (not Xemacs) do color syntax highlighting? quasi p.s. Any Lispers around? I need to get in touch with the community... -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R.

"t" access mode
by Sameer Sahasrabuddhe 31 Jul '01

31 Jul '01

$ ls -ld /tmp Gives the following output: drwxrwxrwt 7 root root 1024 Jul 31 10:00 /tmp The manpages mention that the "t" has something to do with making the file stay on the swap device. What is all this about? SameerDS. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

Some time on saturday noel wrote : " Hi Luggers, I have an old 386 m/c with 8mb ram and 250 mb hdd, trl monitor (cgp display card), SN 2000 ISA LAN card. can i install GNU/Linux on it i have RHL5.0 (which came with PCQ) or will i have to go for an older kernel. How do i configure the display card and the LAN card ? I may put a 630 mb or 1.2 gb hdd so that i can make a complete install. What about startx can i use any GUI which will support it. Please send me your suggestions. Noel " i am sorry noel but X requires atleast a vga to run. try installing rh7.1. it might help u to recognise ur lan card. gettting more disk space is definately a good idea. regards sagar sule ===== When you have hit rock bottom, The only way you can go is UP! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Kernel compilation :some doubts
by Nikhil Joshi 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Phew! finally compiled the kernel and got it working :-) I used many config options and made different kernels (about 5) before arriving at this working kernel. I do not remember the exact options I used. Is there some file where the options are stored so that I can refer them while further tweaking my kernel? How do I know whether my new kernel is better than the default one? Please enlighten. -- A shortcut is the longest distance between two points.

Reminder: ACM Seminar on Machine Learning, Fri 27/7
by Durgesh D Rao 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you of the following event. Regards, - Durgesh, for ACM Mumbai. ACM Seminar Friday, July 27, 2001 - 6:30 p.m. Title: Introduction to Machine Learning Speaker: Jayprasad J. Hegde Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: After an era where programs, AI based or otherwise, were meant largely for ideal (non-surprise mode) usage, people have come to realize that for an intelligent system to work in a real-life environment, adaptability has to be taken into account. This is the reason that, although work utilizing Machine Learning concepts was already in progress in applications like Speech, the field is emerging from oblivion only now. This can be gauged by the fact that a linguistic intensive field like Natural Language Technology is utilizing Machine Learning concepts more than ever, and an AI area like Data Mining (which primarily uses ML) is a buzzword in the software industry. In this seminar, we will look at the overall picture of Machine Learning and see why it is required. We will look at a broad overview of the Machine Learning spectrum, from Inductive Learning to Clustering. We will also specifically cover Inductive Machine Learning in more detail and the technologies used to implement it and finish off with the various exciting applications of Machine Learning. About the Speaker: Jayprasad Hegde has been learning a lot from machines (especially his workstation which doesn't seem to work whenever necessary) and would like them to learn something from him. This motivation started his never-ending quest for learning machine learning :). When he is not learning or 'machine-learning' he is earning his bread and butter by doing work in the Natural Language Processing group in the KBCS division and feigning great knowledge in any area of AI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
