    Windows 95b + USB card reader

    Can anyone recommend an all purpose card reader for Windows 95b? I had an Apacer Compact Flash reader that worked fine in Windows 95b, but I sent that reader, and Coolpix 775 camera, overseas to a lady who ties trout flies for me. The camera was stolen from her, and I might ask for the reader...

    Fedora 4 dials but can't connect

    Thanks for your reply. KPPP doesn't seem to have a 'check carrier line' option, but does have a 'customize pppd arguments' option, which allowed me to try, for example, 'noauth'. I've been using KPPP in FreeBSD to dialup for 4 years, until 2 days ago. My ISP claims nothing has changed.

    Fedora 4 dials but can't connect

    Network Device Control and KPPP both can dial my modem and to begin communicating with my dialup ISP, but the pppd timesout after ~30 seconds without connecting. I tried PAP/CHAP with KPPP, in which I also tried many combinations of 'expect' and 'send' strings under KPPP's 'login scrip' tab...

    Can query string be appended to history array locations?

    Thanks, Dan, and that helps. I'll ask them politely to stop using the back button.

    Can query string be appended to history array locations?

    Appending the number of a temporary directory to the locations of pages in the history array could help me to stop new temporary directories being created by a Perl script when users use the back button. Can query strings be added to those history locations, or are those locations un-alterable...

    Problems after upgrade: RedHat9.0 to Fedora Core4

    Yes, as long as I'm having fun, I might as well upgrade to Core 5. I got Core 4 for NZ$5.00 on the local New Zealand auction website, where I won a DVD reader, mostly just for Fedora. I also got SuSE 10 on DVD, but need to re-size partitions to make room for SuSE. The exact error when I try to...

    Problems after upgrade: RedHat9.0 to Fedora Core4

    At least kppp is dialing again for me. The serial modem with Red Hat 9.0 had been /dev/ttyS4, but Fedora Core 4 has the modem at /dev/ttyS14, which I found from running wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf.

    Problems after upgrade: RedHat9.0 to Fedora Core4

    I had planned just to see what the upgrade involved, but the 'linux text' version of the installation progressed past the point of no return, and Fedora Core 4 seemed to install OK. Small problems found so far are: 1. kppp always finds the modem busy. The modem is an internal USR serial PCI...

    Why text-align:center won't work for text input in Konqueror

    Thanks for your answers, Vragabond and Dan. I changed the form input to a <div id="e0">, and then used document.getElementById("e0").innerHTML=mhf[i]; in a javascript function, using one argument of 'i' to reference values of a new Array mhf. Using text-align:center; as one line in the style...

    Why text-align:center won't work for text input in Konqueror

    I'm not really worried about Konqueror, but would like for a form input to center its text value in Safari, which may behave like Konqueror. The form input is: <input name="cgd" class="mo" type="text" size=74 value="Mouse Over River names for series details"><br> and the style for class "mo"...

    Trying to guess absolute server path to htdocs

    The free hosting site doesn't have PHP, nor Perl, with which I could determine the path. I did try just AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd as a guess at a relative path, but that line didn't work. I've told my friend to change hosts if he wants to extend his website project. Thanks for both of your answers.

    Trying to guess absolute server path to htdocs

    My friend S. Bowers is trying to use .htaccess and .htpasswd on a free hosting site, running on Debian. He needs to know the absolute path to .htpasswd, but the free host administrator ignores his requests for help. My command line ftp program in linux, with the pwd command, displays, as the...

    page loading fails with popup function

    I thought I'd already tried this, which now seems to have worked to stop the page jumping, and without causing the page loading failure: <a href="#" onClick="javascript:wOthis,'Halfback',714,265);return false">Halfback</a>

    page loading fails with popup function

    This link, <a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="javascript:wO(this,'Halfback',714,265)">Halfback</a>, if clicked while the page is loading, causes incomplete page loading. Using a non-javascript href(like href="#" or href="#Halfback" allows the page to finish loading, but I just wanted to...
