How the ^%#@^ is this guy and why do I get mail from him on and off this list? Even though some of it is interesting I would like to stop him from sending me this crap off-list. Why does the list admin let him keep sending spam to the list? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh(a)cfl.rr.com

How Do I extend my swap partition?
by Dan Navarro 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

All, Need help to extend the size of my swap partition. I tried using YAST, but I was unable to find a way to increase the partition. Do I need to del my current swap partition and then create a new one? Be gentle, I'm a newbie. TIA, Daniel N.

Try using lsof or fuser to see what has hold of the file/dir. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred A.

STRANGE Netscape behavior.
by Fred A. Miller 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

I decided to do a clean install on my workstation at work. All went well, including the Lexmark Z52 driver, except for Netscape! It comes up INSISTING that there's a lock file in the .netscape dir., and there ISN'T. Of course, this renders Netscape useless. Anyone know how to fix this....version 4.76, in case it makes any difference. Thanks! Fred -- If you listen quietly you can hear the sound of my pager....another Windows2000 server has crashed.

gcc can't find include files
by Maurice Volaski 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

I'm compiling a file under SuSE 7 which wants <net/sock.h> <net/ip.h> For some reason, gcc insists there is no such file or directory. I have tried altering the gcc command line in a number of ways, even putting soft links to the /usr/src/linux/include and /usr/src/linux/include/net directories, but it insists it still can't find them. Only if I manually enter the complete paths into the <>, are the files found, but since they themselves reference other files in this same directory, gcc says it can't find them. Who sets the paths for looking through <>? Is it part of the shell's path? If so, I am using zsh, what is the syntax for changing the path variable? -- Maurice Volaski, mvolaski(a)aecom.yu.edu Computing Support, Rose F.
