>dear all, >my dat drive is under repair and i want to take backup >of files in to a tar+gz archive but the problem is >that the it does not allow to create a file more than >size of 2 gb. any solution will be appreciated. I never had any problems backing up data in the range of around 3-5 GB using tar-gz and the compressed file size of around 2-3GB. Maybe you are going out of space while archiving.

You have the option of using Aethera (beta) under KDE or Evolution under GNOME to access Hotmail account. There is HTTPMail (XML based protocol used by OE for Hotmail) documentation at http://httpmail.sourceforge.net/ Fart

Special chars, how to type
by Manish Jethani 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I would like to know how I can type special characters, like the copyright and trademark symbols, on the terminal. There must be a set of key combinations documented somewhere. I believe these characters fall within the ASCII range. Please don't give emacs-specific solutions. I don't use emacs. Tnx. Manish

Hi noel, its pretty easy to connect to any irc server .. what u need is a IRc client to connect .. on linux OS u can use Xchat or Xirc for x-windows chat .. else if u r not running X then u can use bitchX for connecting to the server ... u can also telnet to a server & from there run "BitchX" or just type "irc" to run the irc client .. when the irc client starts just type this --> /server irc.freeos.com for more faster access u can connect to some other port which irc usually accepts is /server irc.freeos.com: 6669 or 7000 after connecting to the server u will get a welcome msg .. & thatz it what u need to do is just join a channel ... that can be achieved y typing --> /join <#urchannelname> for. e.g . /join #linux & ur done .. start chatting on the mains .. for msging or sending a msg to an individual in pvt ... type this --> /quote <nicknameto msg> & start ur conversation ... thatz it ... huh for any more info .. u can go to www.irchelp.org or mail me ;) cheers~ </shahazad> ----- Original Message ----- From: "noel seq" <noelseq(a)hotmail.com> To: <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 1:56 PM Subject: [ILUG-BOM] [OT} IRC Channel Announcement > > > > >irc.freeos.com is work, we checked it yesterday but there seems to be some > >problems with irc.ilug-bom.org.in redirecting to it. > > > >Regards > >Prakash > > how do i use IRC > > noel > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > _______________________________________________ > Linuxers mailing list > Linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in > http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Running Netscape on the remote machine
by Fart Crimson 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

> How do I run any X windows application ^^^^^^^^^ Please, say it as "X Window" :-) > Netscape on the remote machine to which I am connected > by TELNET? Start X on you local computer. Then start a xterm/rxvt session. In that give the command `xhost +remotehostname' eg., [user@lchost user]$ xhost +rm.lan.net Then in the telnet session, start netscape like this - [someuser@rm someuser]$netscape -display lchost.lan.net You should be seeing Netscape in your X session, now. Although, this is the easiest way to do this it is also the least secure. For further info, please read the Remote-X-Apps mini-HOWTO HTH :-) Fart

Mouse Config Debian 2.2
by Mayur Joshi 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Dear Linuxers, After installing Debian 2.2 and trying to start the X server, the X server crashed giving out the error as Fatal Server Error Cannot open mouse(No such file or directory) Somewhere I messed up with the mouse config, but I dont know how to config mouse later after the installation of Debian system. Does gpmconfig configures mouse? Anyways it gave me command not found. Awaiting reply, Regards, Mayur _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
