A few more newbie questions 4724
Dances With Crows Aha. My mainframe background is showing. I'm used to typing delimeterstringdelimeter, where delimiter is a keyboard character that doesn't appear in string. Yep. apbreastude showed me that...

I Think You Meant "find -name*ncurses-* -print less". The man page for find is comprehensive, but it may be a little much for a newbie to digest. The -name or -iname options are usually what you want to use. Make sure to escape the *s, otherwise the shell may expand them. Also, if you haven't disabled the cron job that runs updatedb at 0-dark-thirty, then locate is *much* faster than find.
There is some great stuff on the pages below. Don't be swayed by the liberal media, discover the truth for yourself. ChecKKK out the AFN FAQ website at... african americans...
Nolib-libncurses.so ? That file is usually a symlink to libncurses.so.X.Y . Also, to compile programs that use ncurses, you have to have the libncurses-devel package installed on RPM-based systems. That package contains the header files for ncurses.
And these messages are...? It's entirely possible that Appletalk protocol support is disabled in the kernel, but atalkd is being started by the init scripts. You can disable atalkd with sysvinit or chkconfig or hand-editing the symlink farms inetc-rc.d-rcX.dwhere X is your standard runlevel.
This question is kind of ill-formed. There's a file calledetc-hosts things to it, like:
127.0.0.1 servedby.advertising.com 192.168.1.4 paganini.crow202.dyndns.org paganini
...so the evil ad server resolves to localhost, and "paganini" resolves to 192.168.1.4 on this machine.
If you want the other machines on your LAN to recognize that "examplemachine" has IP 192.168.4.5 , then you either have to edit each other machine'setc-hosts or LMHOSTS file, or set up a DNS server. The first approach doesn't scale beyond 4 or 5 machines.
DNS-and-BIND-HOWTO. Since you're new at this, read it all and pay close attention to the examples. It's highly probable that you can use one of the example configs (the one for a small private LAN) without much fiddling.
Chicken Bone Morton Since you're obviously in complete denial yourself, you should learn some things before you post...
Maybe. I think perseverance has more to do with it, myself!
