I get this problem using xfsft after adding the path to the TTFs in xf86config, reporting an error finding the font "Fixed". Removing the path is ok since the fontpath is defined in the xfsft config file, can't say if thius is the case for xfstt but maybe worth a quick hack to find out ? -----Original Message----- From: Juergen Braukmann [SMTP:juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2000 8:08 PM To: SuSE Linux English Subject: Re: [SLE] tt fonts (again) Kenneth Kellum wrote: > > This is driving me bonkers.

[SLE] cdrecord -multi
by novo＠uiuc.edu 17 Jan '00

I'm new to the business of burning (re)writable CD's, so bear with me (after having read man cdrecord): Here's my objective: Write to a CD 2 (tar) files, ONE AT A TIME. Here's what I did: mkisofs -r -o cd_etc etc/=./etc.full.tar.gz mkisofs -r -o cd_image anovo/=./anovo.full.tar.gz # Optional mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /cdrom mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_etc /cdrom # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -multi -data cd_image cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -multi -data cd_etc Here's what happened: mount /cdrom ls /cdrom anovo # the first image to be burnt, it's OK # no sign of the second image (should be the "etc" directory) What am I missing? Can this be done? Thanks a zillion, Alvaro -- -- -- -- -- Alvaro A.

[SLE] inferior performance of Linux ftp
by mircea.andrei＠wanadoo.fr 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Since a long time I observed that my ftp transfer rates are not what they should be. I carried out yesterday a one-to-one comparison between Windows and Linux and the results speak by themselves. The test was done as follows: Download and upload between a Pentium II PC (200 MHz, 128 MB RAM) with either Linux (kernel 2.0.36 or 2.2.13) or Win98 operating system and a SGI Indy workstation, across an ISDN telephone line (max. speed 8 KB/s). and a pair of ZyXEL Prestige 100 routers, one at each end. A 3 MB file was transmitted to and fro. In the Linux case I used either plain ftp or the more comprehensive program nftp (www.ayukov.com) In the Windows case I used the very excellent Wincmd program (www.ghisler.com) The results (rates averaged over 3 MB transferred data): Linux OS : download 6.175 kB/s, upload 7.190 kB/s Win98 OS : download 7.746 kB/s, upload 6.721 kB/s For Linux, the above results are the best I got. Using Midnight Commander the results are slightly worse (e.g. 5.7 kB/s download) with kernel 2.0.36 and *catastrophical* with kernel 2.2.13 (practically unusable for download). For Windows, better results are obtained with Windows on both sides, using Laplink 7.5, the transfer rates are consistently 7.5-7.6 kB/s in both directions, so that I tend to think that the inferior upload result above is related to the Indy workstation. -- # \\\|/// # (-@-@-) # ====oOO==(_)==OOo========================================== # Andrei Mircea <mircea.andrei(a)wanadoo.fr> # .oooO Oooo.

[SLE] NAT, PAT, Masquerade?
by icarus＠guldennet.nl 17 Jan '00

17 Jan '00

Hi list, I have a Linux box (6.3) routeing my internal net to the outside world. I use ipcains masquerading. Here's what I've got (very simple): ipchains -F ipchains -I forward -j MASQ I know, it's not safe, but this isn't the real thing, but it works this way (to give you a sample of how I do it). My problem is: - FTP fails often - Telnet is inbelieveably slow (often no more than 10 chars per minute) - HTTP goes real fast (strangly enough) - other services just fail (ICQ, IRC, VDOLive, etc..) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I heard something about TOS'ses? Type Of Services? Can anybody explain to me what that means and how I should implement it?
