My problem is that half the time i hit f1 instead and go into help ending up
saving some change or other to the help file or something else, not sure what
and go into record mode, not to mansion that pasting always gives me crazy
indentations.


Do you need help?X

Personally I prefer emacs, but it takes longer to load and I am still looking
for a proper project management (find definition/declaration etc.). Tags always
seems to do something else then needed, especially with c++ and fortran (no
proper class support and people seem to think that fortran is not used by
anyone for some unknown reason and don't bother making editors work with it)

Leave tftpd for good and try out tftpd-hpa which seems easier to setup
and can be started as a daemon the "invoke-rc.d" way.=20
I've been using it for a year now for several thin clients and I've
never had any problems.

It's us who are bright, and 'they' are dark, after all. -- At least

Of course.  That's the first lesson those old "how to use vi" guides
taught.

Modern machines are so fast that the younger generations of geeks
don't know the real joy of vi-users bashing emacs because it takes
SOOOO LOOOONG to load on a Sun3, and is a OS unto itself...

Message-ID:  <874pfz7dlh.fsf_-_@gmail.com>
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset=us-ascii

In the documentation of `sort' I couldn't find the possibility of ignoring
digits.  I have a document that contains names and phone numbers and I wish to
sort it by names.  The `-k' option doesn't seem to help because names and
numbers are not in definite fields.

Any help appreciated

It used to be that Xemacs was easier than Emacs to get running on
Windows, but the new Emacs22 is supposed to change that. Not that that
alone would be enough to justify switching from Vim, but it shouldn't
be an issue anymore.

I had replied to this thread earlier, but apparently my post was lost. 
Anyway here it is again:

I have had good results by installing the tftpd-hpa package. You can run 
it from either inetd or standalone. For running the standalone version 
you need to disable it in /etc/inetd.conf and set the relevant flag to 
"yes" in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

To check whether the server is running, install some tftp client (say 
tftp-hpa), then try getting a file from the machine:
==
$ tftp localhost
tftp> get somefile
==

If you get an error almost immediately saying the file could not be 
found, that means the server is running :)

Look at Perl.  You likely can find whatever help you need on the

If he could program in Perl, he could have solved this problem aeons
ago.  It started as 300 or so numbered files of contacts.  Its now one
big file and I think he's got it down to each record on one line.  Now
he wants to sort it but the records aren't in fields.  This problem
really would have been (still could be) a terrific beginner's work in
either Perl or Python (or Ada).

Rodolfo, you'll need to send us a sample couple of lines EXACTLY as they
appear in your file so that someone who knows sort can help.

You'll also need to tell us EXACTLY what you want the file to look like
when all is said and done.  What do you want to do with this?

Doug.

Doug didn't mean to sound rude; that's just the nature of email sometimes.

What he means though is that Debian is not part of PDL; PDL has 
apparently taken Debian software and put together a pen drive with it. 
Not knowing anything about PDL (until you've mentioned it), most Debian 
folks therefore can only guess at what might be causing your issues. For 
example, one guess I can make is that you may need to feed the kernel 
some parameter at startup, such as "NOAPIC". But since we (as "Debian" 
in general) don't know how PDL is constructed, Doug's advice is good 
advice; see if you can find a support link on the pendrivelinux.com 
site; that'll be more likely to provide you with the solution you need. 
Sorry we're unfamiliar with PDL and probably can't be of much help.

Hi
I'm running Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.22-2) on my laptop Asus
M6Ne. After 5-10 min. in X the system freezes up (or
part of it). When it happens, the keyboard and hotkeys stops
responding. But the usb mouse/touchpad still works,
although I can't change desktop, focus windows and etc. Half the
time the powerbutton works and I can make a proper shutdown, the
other it's killing the power. I've also tried with the standard ati
module and the proprietary module fglrx. Wifi (ipw2200) module isn't
loaded.
I normally use Xfce4, but I read on bugs.debian.org something
regarding freeze and audio. So yesterday I started using Gnome to
have a stable X until the other problem got solved. But now I
experienced a freeze, similar to the Xfce4. So now I'm quite lost on
where to start.

I'm trying to configure a syslog server on Debian Etch, but so far the
only walkthrough I've found is for Debian Sarge. The walkthrough says to
modify the /etc/init.d/sysklogd file at the line that says: SYSLOGD=3D""
and change it to SYSLOGD=3D"-r -m0"

=20

There is no such line in the sysklogd file. I added it, but it doesn't
seem to be logging. Have stopped and restarted the service, rebooted the
server and still my log file is at 0 bytes.

=20

In the /etc/syslog.conf, I added the line:

=20

Local7.debug    /mnt/hdb1/syslog/logfilename.log

=20

And it did automatically create the file, but nothing's going into it
from either the Netscreen firewall or the test Windows server. And I
don't see anything listening on port 514 with a netstat.

=20

Anyone know a way to jumpstart it to get it running? Thanks in advance.
