pine/mozilla/htmlview

by Bill Mills-Curran

I recently switched to mozilla 1.0, and I'm having problems getting pine to understand that I want to use mozilla as my URL viewer. In the pine setup, I set the URL viewer to a perl script that I wrote that then runs mozilla. (The script works fine when I run it separately.) When I view a URL in pine, I end up with the KDE browser. The output of "ps" shows that pine is running /usr/bin/htmlview instead of my perl script. Any idea why pine is ignoring my setup? TIA, Bill

Re: [Wlug] booting off cd/floppy images

Sure, just set your bootloader to point to the floppy image you want (not sure about using a CD image, that seems a bit large). I keep a copy of the Memtest86 floppy image accessible to Grub just in case: title Memtest86 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/memtest.bin Brian J.

booting off cd/floppy images

by Brad Noyes

Hi All, I have an intersting problem. I have a device (my old iopener) with linux installed and freeBSD (i dual boot). Both installs are really out of date, and i want to re-install linux, but i don't have a cdrom drive, or floppy drive. I only have network connection. Is there a way to add an entry in lilo to boot off a CD image, or floppy image? If anyone sees another way to install linux, i'm all hears. Thanks, --brad

You're ahead of me Andy. I generate a key on the access-point and set my pc-card to it; and all of the sudden DCHP won't give me an address! Oh well, we've all got problems!

I think it is possible for the driver to handle it in software if the hardware doesn't have 128-bit capability. I could be wrong... -- Charles R.
