Well, you shouldn't be using anything less than the latest Navigator 4.7x as there are known exploits for the others. You could try Mozilla, but if they won't let you use Any Browser.... "None of my business, dear, but I suggest you try another bank." That said, I don't know if NW's works with Linux. I'm with co-op, but I think there's a listing in the uk.comp.os.linux FAQ. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?

Re: [Alug] Red lodge meeting - going ahead?

Red Lodge: http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?gride=&gridn =&width=700&height=400&client=M6&db=hcgaz&scale=100000&coordsys=gb&overviewmap=ap&X=570000&Y=270000&multimap.x=340&multimap.y=189 Simon, although not many people have actually posted to say they can make the 4th nov, on IRC it was kind of assumed that that was the next meeting: personally I'd say go ahead and confirm and post the confirmation to the list. (I'll probably be the only person turning up and have to fork out twenty quid.....) Jenny

Re Progeny
by John Seago 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

I have the `Linux Emporium' Disks for Progeny, but I did'nt manage to get it to install, as once past the initial stage, I could'nt get it to display, of course there may well be something wrong with the resolution `thingy' in my monitor. I also understand from a review that it will only install an american keyboard layout. Not very helpfull I know, but it's the best I can do. I am also rather puzzled as to why messages 3, 4, 5, 7 & 8 are somewhat wider than my screen. is this another manifestation of the =20 phenonmena? John

I think that it always was - there seemed to be the right sort of things in the various /proc directories. It was the final step of mounting the emulated SCSI that seemed always to fall over before I moved to kernel 2.4.6. Gerald.

Oh yes, it does all the groovy things my other system does, stopping the daemons etc... then it seems to start up again into the login prompt, or after a lot more shutdown commands, puts me into the $BASH prompt.

pcmcia/eth0
by Ricardo Campos 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

I have recently installed RH6.1 on my notebook, with no X (yay!). I have 2 problems with it:- 1) When it boots up, the PCMCIA service starts...OK then it comes up with 'delaying eth0 initialisation'. In /etc/pcmcia/config, it has a list of supported cards and mine - d-link de-660 is included (amongst about 100 others). How can I tell if it's actually recognising the card properly? How can I link it to eth0? The floppy drive is bust on the notebook (can read, can't write), so a network card is essential!!! I created a ifcfg-eth0 file in /etc/sysconfig using ifcfg-lo as a template- except with correct IP's. If I manually start ifcfg eth0 up I still get the same problem. :-/ 2) When I issue a Shutdown Now command from the shell, it shuts down and I get a $BASH prompt. Any number of quit, exit, shutdown commands don't seem to work and I end up powering off the laptop. How can I shut down (i.e. power off) the laptop without frying the HD every time, cos at some point I'm going to do some damage to the data. :( -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

There are 2x 16 port hubs sitting in front of me, although I'll have to be REALLY nice to my boss, and they might be used (by my company) by the end of November. There should be some 4 and 8 port hubs kicking around too. And plenty of Cat 5. Last resort possibly, but should be fine? :) Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Address books
by John Woodard 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

I have a fairly large contacts folder in MS Outlook 5 which I would dearly like to transfer over to my Linux box (seriously thinking of ditching MS Office for good here). I need the addresses etc in a format that the KDE address book can read. It can import *.wab files but Outlook won't export wab Outlook Express does but won't import from Outlook. Am I going to have to resort to csv text files or is their some other way. Indecently I have a Palm Vx with the data on synced from Outlook so if there is a way of syncing the palm with the KDE address book (kmail is my preferred mail client) I could do that. Distro is MDK 8.1 running KDE or Gnome and has the usual jpilot, kpilot and Gnome panel apps for syncing the Palm. Cheers, BJ

Linux and USB - follow-up
by Edenyard 16 Oct '01

16 Oct '01

Thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions to getting a USB camera to work with Linux. I finally succeeded by installing Mandrake Freq with 2.4.6 kernel. Slackware using 2.4.5 wouldn't work, neither would Redhat with 2.4.2. If anyone else should be going down this path, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to compare notes. Gerald.

PostgreSQL problems
by Ashley ＠ Turton 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

I've been running PostgreSQL for a while on a box here at work. This morning when I logged in, it completes a few queries, then stops progressing them. To complete a few more queries I need to restart postmaster. I have not changed any settings for a long time and it only started playing up today. Any ideas? FYI, I am running Postgres 7.03, and executing queries through PHP/Apache. This particular machine is running Mandrake 8.0. Ashley
