Hello! I am new to this list (although I have done a fair amount of research in the archives) and I need to ask what is probably one of the most frequently asked questions on a list like this: How do I install Word97 and Excel97? (Codeweavers CrossoverOffice can do this, and they ASSURE us that they roll everything they do back to the main wine CVS and hence, this SHOULD work!) So far; this is

Yup. You're right. 1. Those are not processes since Linux 'ps' and 'top' reports threads just as it reports processes. 2. Threads reports the total amount of RAM allocated to the process it belongs to. (Excercise: what else could it report??) /Fredrik > > From: Nick Capik <ncapik@patriot.net> > Date: 2002/09/11 Wed PM 01:29:43 CEST > To: Frank Joerdens

Hi again! Yesterday I wrote to this list complaining that I could not install Excel 97. I have now succeeded. The trick was NOT to run "install.exe", but to unpack xl97_1.cab and run the acmsetup.exe in there, like so: "wine -- acmsetup.exe /T excel97.stf" (I think that excel97.stf existed in the first cab-file as well.) The installer will ask for a few files that all can

After installing wine from the source, I find out that the directory is consuming some significant amount of space, so I decided to remove it. But then I remembered that since I installed from source, I mighty need the source directory in the future, in case I decide to uninstall wine. After checking the documentation, I saw that was true. So I wonder: Can I remove the directory and in the future,

I'm a brand new wine user, trying to install a genealogy program that the database says works without problems. I get a load of error messages when I run the install, and the install never completely runs. I want help, but I don't know where to start. What information should I be providing to the good folks of this list in hopes of getting a solution? Thanks Rick Seiden

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

Howdy. I feel like I am missing something really simply with regards to the way that Puppet works and I am wondering if someone can point me in the write direction. I have written a class that downloads, uncompresses, compiles, and installs Python from source. So far so good. The problem is that it only needs to do this once, when Python is not already in place (or some other custom

Desktop is CentOS 5.4 (32 bit). I have Google Earth version 4.2.205.5730 (13NOV2007 build date) installed. I have checkinstall (spelling?) installed, but am not sure if that was installed before or after Google Earth was installed. I have the Google Repository installed, but apparently Google Earth cannot be updated via yum and probably it was not installed via yum. Question: What is the best

Howdy, I tend to try out many open source apps/packages - games, editors to media tools. I have a bad habit of downloading and extracting source in the /var/tmp directory and then doing configure-make-install process. I am not sure of best practice (good practices) to be followed when installing any software. For example how and where to keep the src. Any comments and/or resources would be really

Scrolling thru the archives gives me a hint that there might be troubles with AFS together with dovecot and maildir especially the LDA Is this still an issue or should I prepare for spending time to solve it?

Hi. I have a system storage HP MSA 2012 with 12 drives in it: 8 drives are 2 Tb each and 4 are 1 Tb each. All of them are in array RAID 1+0. This storage is connected to two servers which use data, stored on the storage. So I'm using OCFS2 on these two nodes. Today, after long time of successfull work with it, I've found that it has a limit of 32000 subdirs. The trouble is I have more than

I don''t think there''s a way to do that other than using a proxy (ISAPI_REWRITE) or just a server-side redirect. I''d love to be proven wrong though. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org [mailto:rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org] On Behalf Of frazer horn Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 9:13 AM To: rails@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject:
