have a few questions

have a few questions

[Scott Berry]

Hi there again,

I need to have some one who has worked with Mailman and Apache on a Debian
box get a hold of me off list please?

Secondly, I want to get rid of the reply to and a few other headers in
Pine while reading mail I just want to leave the to ffield, from field,
and the subject.

Third and lastly I am having trouble reading with Lynx and I am not sure
what is up with this but I can't figure out how to turn the numbers on for
links I would surely appreciate some help.  Thanks much.

Icecast

[Charles Crawford]

Hi All,

	sorry for the off topic posting, but I have downloaded the latest 
version of icecast which would allow me to transmit an internet radio 
stream with .ogg files and that is cool.  The problem is that I am soft 
because I am used to redhat rpm and they install easily.  This is a 
tarball which I have installed as far as that is concerned but I have no 
idea where to go from there.  It has to do with installation of the 
icecast software and make file and I am lost.   If anyone can help me with 
this, I woulf really appreciate it.   You can email me off list at 
ccrawford@starpower.net with a phone number perhaps and I can call you in 
the U.S. or Canada.

	Thanks.

Hi Charles:

Great to see more people getting into icecast.

Installing software from a source tarball is easy.  And they pretty much
all install the same way.  Here's what I do when I download a source
tarball.

1.  Unpack it with tar -zxf <filename> for tar.gz or tgz files, or a
variant on that for bz2 files (this will depend on your version of tar).
You may wish to view the archive first by substituting the x with t, but in
99% of cases, the files will unpack into a subdirectory which will have the
same name as the tarball.

2.  Change into the subdirectory.  Note that occasionally these will be
capitalised, so finding it might take a little guessswork.

3.  Read the Readme file.  This will usually contain installation
instructions, or will tell you where to read them (possibly in an Install
file).

4.  Most programs use configure and make to compile.  If this one does, use
the following commands:

./configure --help |more

I always do this in case there's stuff burried away in configure that has
been left out of the documentation.  The only real part of interest is the
section near the end which talks about "enable and with options".  Have a
quick read through there in case there are items you wish to enable or
disable.  In most cases however, you can safely ignore these and in a lot
of cases, there won't be anything there of much interest to the typical
user.

5.  Type ./configure.  If you have anyy options you wish to use, put them
on the command line (e.g. ./configure --disable-nls)

6.  Assuming configure ran without errors, type make.  This will compile
the program.  Then type "make install" to install it (usually in
/usr/local, if you want it somewhere else then use the --prefix option when
running configure).

Now you should be good to go!

Geoff.

In pine, go to Main Menu > Setup > Configuration, and search for
"view-hdrs".  Hit question mark to read the help on how to use it.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to start lynx as follows:

lynx -show_cursor -number_fields

This will allow you to more easily use the thing.  Then hit "o" for
options, then move down to item 4 which should be the save checkbox and
check it.  Move on down further and change the keypad mode to "links and
form fields are numbered", and also make sure that "show cursor" is on.
Then click the "accept changes" button either at the top or bottom of the
form.

Hope this helps,
Geoff.
