   ** time passes **

   10:16 * Rickeh glues editorgal in place
   . . .
   10:16 * editorgal superglues Rickeh to /topic
   . . .
   10:17 <@editorgal> now you have to stay ontopic, hahaha
   . . .
   10:17 <@Rickeh> editorgal: I'm gonna get my nfs-hellbox up and running in a
   minute, and I wanna test your suggestion :)
   10:18 <@editorgal> ah
   10:18 * editorgal breaks free of the cheap glue and parks in a cushy chair
   . . .
   10:43 * Rickeh grabs editorgal, hugs her, and jumps up and down joyously!
   10:43 <@editorgal> hehehe
   10:43 <@editorgal> glad I could help
   10:43 <@editorgal> ginger beer, next time I'm in town.
   10:43 <@Rickeh> that rsize=8192,wsize=8192 thing worked spot on :)

alien killer cheesecake eludes search, apropos apprehended

   Ben Okopnik ([55]ben from linuxgazette.net)
   Question by #tag-chat ()

   Anyway - got a 2-cent tip for you. I sent this one in to Mike ages ago, but
   searching for it in LG doesn't show anything.

   One of the things I'd found when experimenting with RedHat is that their
   "apropos" utility seems to be just an alias for "man -k", i.e., does not
   allow wildcard searches via "apropos -w". Since "apropos -w" was something I
   found very useful in my early days of learning Linux, I decided to write a
   script that would be an even friendler, more helpful version of "whatis" and
   "apropos -w" combined. I called it "howto"- and I still use it on occasion,
   simply because it's a fun way to find info (and get hooked into checking out
   other interesting things!). The syntax for it is very simple - just type

   howto wipe out alien civilizations and make killer cheesecake

   If there's anything that's available on the topic, or any of the keywords,
   you'll find it...

   RedHat users note: your installation procedure does not automatically create
   the "whatis" database (or for that matter, even the "mandb" database) which
   is required by this script - and by "whatis". See the manpage for "man" and
   "whatis" for further info.

   And here's the script:

                       See attached [56]howto.sh.txt

   Wiping out alien civilizations and making killer cheesecake are definitely
   knowledge that should be propagated. (are things? is knowledge? Damn this
   slippery language and its referents!)

Exporting a del.icio.us feed to a Netscape bookmark file

   Jimmy O'Regan ([57]The LG Answer Gang)

   This didn't fit in with my article
   ([58]http://linuxgazette.net/110/oregan1.html), but it's still cool. It
   dumps your del.icio.us feed into a Netscape compatible bookmarks file.

Re: [LG 110] help wanted #1

   Hi there,

   When you have problems booting Linux from DOS, you also have to look in
   which mode you are using DOS: with or without HIMEM.SYS loaded, with or
   without EMM/QEMM/EMM386 loaded, with or without a swap file, with or without
   a disk cache or a memory disk (VDISK) loaded.

   Have a look at:
          [61]http://sourceforge.net/projects/gujin

   you have there a GPL bootloader which works from a lot of DOS configurations
   (probably all of them) - and if you have problems, its debug executable
   (dbgload.exe, dbgdisk.exe, dbgfs.exe...) create a file named DBG which
   explains what did wrong.

   You have precompiled loader (interactive and command line version) at:
          [62]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gujin/install-0.9.tgz?download

   and precompiled debug at:
          [63]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gujin/standard-0.9.tgz?downloa
          d

   Please read the doc at:
