I've created /etc/environment file like this
JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_12"


export JAVA_HOME


Do you need help?X

PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin"


export PATH



The first time I started and logged into gdm, it failed.
Then I went to /etc/ and changed environment permissions.
Ok, I managed to log in, but PATH doesn't have /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin
I can't run a program that uses java from the menu link
Only if a open gnome-terminal with any user and call the program, it works.



I know its possible to make a "workaround" starting everything thought
terminal, but it's horrible!


Or go to "/usr/bin" and "ln -s ..." everything in JAVA_HOME/bin
but that is not the point, I MUST know how to set PATH variable because its
ridiculous. I no windows user.



Thanks,

I have the following line in /etc/environment:

On Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:36:09 -0400, I asked how to select a font for xterms
under fvwm that would display UTF8 codes.

Thanks.  I eventually got this working with that link and another really
useful one on X fonts:

    http://www.klauser.ch/lxug/ch13.pdf

I did install xfonts-efont-unicode but in the end didn't need it.  Instead, I
set the default xterm font to this:

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

which is in the 7x14.pcf.gz file from xfonts-base.  It passes the UTF tests
I've tried so far.  I'm not sure how this is different from the efont
version, namely:

  -efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

other than a slightly different ptSz.

Not really.  Mainly because that old laptop is really old.  No other
method is available to reboot other than that 6G harddisk.

Even floppy boot is not available.

That's what I'm doing.  But is it possible to increase the size for
apt-get upgrade and apt-get install?  Right now I can use that 5G for
personal use but for the main thing like in /usr what's the best way
to make use of that 5G?

Any good website showing how to do add space at multiple points in the
file system?

How are they doing this detection?  Could you spoof it?

<http://www.secardeo.com/Trusted_E-Business/Digital_Signatures/PDF-FAQ/pdf-faq.html>

pdfinfo _might_ get you the signature if you want to verify it (but you'd
have to get their certificate somehow).

Or perhaps they are using PGP:

Since Exim can handle auth SMTP, why not just use exim?

Are you sure that this is a resouce leak?  Think of what Iceape is
trying to do: download 30 MB of text and render it all ready to show
you.  Was Iceape designed to handle 30 MB pieces of text?

If you can't pull the data with ftp or somethin, what about using lynx?
Text browsers don't have to render.  Download the text and save it to a
file.  Or if its already being viewed, 'Print' it to a file.  Once you
have your 30 MB text file, then you can edit it if you really want.

Doug.

My old Thinkpad can do netbooting.  Can your laptop?  

Or are you saying that the _only_ way to boot this thing is with its
internal hard drive?

Put a filesystem on it (e.g. ext3), mount it under /mnt, cp -a or rsync
(or even use mc) everything under /usr, then unmount it from /mnt and
mount it as /usr.  If it works, unmount it, change /etc/fstab, remove
everything under /usr and reboot.

Your main partition filesystem will now have additional free space
equivalanet to the size of /usr.

As for detailed instructions, its in one of the HOWTOs available as
something like doc-linux-howto; I think multi-disk HOWTO.

Doug.
