firefox
by Thornton
Where does firefox keep its bookmarks? And is it possible to copy them
from my linux box to my windows box and have firefox on win2k use the
new bookmarks?
I am being forced to use win2k at the office for a project but need some
of my bookmarks moved over.
Thanks!

I'm having trouble booting from the CD
by Tyler
Hello everyone. I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me
with. When I try to boot my Fedora CD I get this message
ISOLINUX 2.06 2003-08-22 isolinux: disk error 01, AX = 4293, 9F
I have no idea what it means or what to do. Any help that someone could
give me would be appreciated.

DVD burning - mkisofs max size allowed
by A. Lanza
Hi list,
i'm trying to burn a DVD using k3b, as i usually do for CD burning. I'm
using 4,7GB size DVD-R. The problem is that i cannot burn a 4,4GB. file.
The file is exactly 4,613,704,668 bytes long.
The message i get from k3b is the following:
/usr/bin/mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type
and then
File <file> is too large - ignoring
It seems like the problem is the file size, but that file should fit in
a DVD, shouldn't it? Is there any limit in the size of files written to
DVD?
Thanks,
Alf

Hi Jerry,
I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had.
It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed:
Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited
gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865
Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30
So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22
for you.

What microsoft has to say about XP
by Dotan Cohen
I think that more people mould move away from WIndows if they read the notices
on the microsoft website:
"The simple act of visiting an Internet site can be extremely damaging to the
system"
from:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/...
Important to note that the article quoted's purpose is to convince the user to
create and use a standard account, and not the system's default Administrator
account. What this means is that the system's default beaviour is to make the
simple act of visiting an internet site extremely damaging to the system. Why
on earth would people use such an OS?

CD Unmounting Help!!
by William_King＠Dell.com
I'm unable to unmount any cd in the last couple of days. CD's auto or
manually mount with no problems. But when I try to unmount get message
device is busy. I've gone through processes running in KDE SystemGuard
and killed all process showing accessing /dev/hdc, even killed
konquerer. I've even changed FSTAB to noauto,ro,users, but to no avail.
My systems were working with no issues, 1 is a laptop that has been
running fc3 for over 6 months. I'm running KDE 3.3. I don't seem to
have this problem in GNOME.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a lot of old interesting LPs which I would love to have on CDs.
If somebody knows a way to play an LP into the PC and subsequently burn
it to a CD I am very interested in learning how to do it.

firefox 1.0.1 and java
by Gerhard Magnus
Once I installed the new firefox 1.0.1 I lost the java runtime
environment I had finally been able to get working with firefox 1.0.
The "About Mozilla Firefox" window says I'm running "Firefox/1.0.1
Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2". I assume this new version of firefox is using
files from the directory tree that starts /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1, which
means I need to make a symbolic link (using the ln -s command)
from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins. This is the same procedure I
successfully used before to make the link in
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins directory.
For some reason this procedure is not working -- the new link
in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins appears in red instead of blue. I've
tried deleting the link (using rm -r) from both
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directories. Although they no longer show up (using ls -al) the link
creation (using ln -s) still gives a non-functioning link. Then when I
do a locate libjavaplugin_oji.so I get --
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
which seems to be saying the links are still there in both firefox
directories! When I try ls -l on the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directory I get:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 6 16:51 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
libjavaplugin_oji.so
flashing in red -- it looks like the link is linking to itself. Or
something.... Any suggestions on how to clean this up or at least to
hack through it further?
