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

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 Both installs are really out of date, and i want to re-install linux, but i don't have a cdrom drive, or floppy drive.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.
