urlview

urlview

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all,

I searched for urlview on freshmeat, and only got 1 project
which was something about opening urls in staroffice.
Where can I get urlview from?
Is there a slackware package?
Thanks
Greg

Redhat7.1 Questions

[djc]

Question about their fire wall first. When we set it to medium or high or
none does the change take effect right away or do we have to log off linux
and back on? Also we're having quite a bit of trouble with the icq servers
keeping connection. We're trying micq which I like and have used before
under slackware. It keeps dropping the connection but the adsl connection
here is good and stable. It could be their servers but any thoughts would
be appreciated.

Um, from what I've experienced with the RH firewall settings its not easy
to get icq to work.
Anybody know what ports to open up?

Re: Redhat7.1 Questions

Hi, Don:

The Redhat component that you see during the installation is really sort 
of a form that collects your preferences. When it installs the various 
linux components, it then uses your preferences to write appropriate 
values in various configuration files. Once you reboot at the end of the 
installation, those settings will be in effect. Thereafter, you will not 
need to reboot in order to change to other preferences. There are ways to 
restart portions of the linux system without rebooting the entire system. 


In general, you'll find that you almost never need to reboot linux--unlike 
that other OS where rebooting is the norm. In fact, rebooting is so rare 
on linux, that many of us take pride in high uptime numbers. To get a 
sense of what that is, type 'uptime' as root and check out the stats on 
how long your system has been up. As I write this, I have gone to my 
office linux system where I find it has been up for 11 days running. Hmmm, 
only 11 days? Must have been some kind of electrical problem there! Oh, 
no, wait, I remember, I installed a piece of hardware and didn't want to 
that with the machine running! <grin>

I cannot help you with ICQ, but I see from my mailbox that others are 
addressing that question.

No need to be root to run this command.

The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when open.
If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.

Thanks Janina for your response and I'm really pleased with my linux and
how well it's gone for us here. It's now running like clockwork. Thanks for
every ones help. I probably will have further questions but so far I am
quite pleased.
