Hi, Can anyone tell me that if I compile the program myself. how can I know what's program I installed already. If I use rpm to install. I can check it by using "rpm -q ". If I remove the program, do I just remove the directory only ?

If you installed it manually from sources, it should be somewhere below the /usr/local tree (well, most programs do).
If I remove the program, do I just remove the directory only ?
No, you have to keep track, what "make install" actually installs. Some Makefiles have an "uninstall" section as well, but your mileage may vary.

My wife and I volunteer for an organization which transports surplus food from suburban locations (such as supermarkets) to shelters and food pantries in the inner city (Buffalo, NY area). These shelters feed homeless individuals and the working poor. Health laws require we keep records of what we transport. This and other requirements generate considerable paperwork and expensive mailings. As many of our members are connected to the internet, I was thinking of creating a form in html format which could filled in using a web browser, and then e-mailed. Our organization does not have a web site. Question 1: Is the html - e-mail solution appropriate under these circumstances? If not, what is? Question 2: If appropriate, is their a package in the SuSE 6.1 distro I can use to make html forms that can be filled in with Netscape or Windows IE? Adobe is very expensive. Thanks for your help.

my thining is that an email from a form is almost a waste of time. why not just have them email it without using the web form? it can still be done from the form, but forms have their best benefit when the data being entered is goin to be automagically processed by something, and usueally stored in a database. anyway, enough of my opinion..:) Yes, the 6.1 boxed set contains everything you need. (the eval prolly does too, but i've never used an eval CD, so i cant swear to it.) to do a standard, basic form-to-email, nothing special is required. it is done entirely in html, using the normal forms stuff. There should be examples on any beginning web-cgi sites. if you want to get wicked with it, can use something like PHP to dress up the data into someting thats easy to import into your favorite software. could also pump it into a database.. anyway...yes..:) -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Thu, 20 Jan 2000 bowman@buffnet.net wrote:

If they have emial , why not let them log into a central web sight and fill them in on line ? Yess you can do the form thing , but then you need to re enter the dat into what ever it iss your putting them into. Unless of cource you are simply going to put the emial/fporm right into a folder and not into any electronic media or data base.Its easieer/neater to do it by pc then print the form out. then you can mail it. But imagiunge the toime and evert you can save by having them directly enter it into the source - ie database over the web or even over plian dial up. You could set tup a server tto suport dial inclients. But then you could ring up some interesting long duistance bills. , hence try to use the web instread. Its usualy just a local call away.

I've seen & replaced spreadsheet solutions to accounting and database problems. If you want to keep any history, and buro-rats love history, a database is much better.

Hi, I don't know which program will help (but I'm sure there's one out there). But you should check with your local health buro-rat and make sure that computer records would be ok. The buro-rats might still be using parchment and quill pens. :) Later!

I would do three things: 1) Get the SuSE 6.3 distro, the best yet. 29.95 at http://www.chumbo.com 2) Download StarOffice 5.1a or send $10 to Sun for the CD rom version, which contains both the Linux and Windows version, or use the version on the 6.3 CDs. 3) Use the StarBase (dBase) ability of StarOffice to setup a database, use StarOffice's Forms ability to create data entry forms, and use StarWriter to merge data from the database with form letters to create piles of documentation to pile on the burocrates desks. You can also create informative queries for your own use, lookup functions, etc...

Usually removing the directory works, but there may also be some leftovers, like stray configuration files in /etc, hidden configuration files in home directories, and listings on menus. These leftovers normally don't amount to much disk space. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Don't forget the stuff that some makefiles throw into /usr/local/bin If make uninstall doesn't work, learn to read makefiles and remove everything it installs.
