I need to install some patches on my Solaris 2.7 box and it's required that I have at least 4MB of H/D space in '/'. I only have a fraction of that left, like 1MB - how does one go about making space on the root directory? Are there any unnecessary files that could be deleted?

if there were any system errors (could be for success as well) running an application, hardware, etc. would there be an 'Event Log' generated somewhere in Solaris Unix much as there is an Event Viewer in Admin. Tools in NT??

I have a 3 page color pdf file that I'm printing using Adobe Acrobat Reader ver. 5. The file displays the pages in color fine, but when I send the file to a color plotter (a HP 450C), the pages comes out in Black & White!! The results are the same if I use NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstation to...

We are in a situation where we must decide between writing ASP or JSP and using either IIS or Apache Web Server. Can we deploy ASP Pages in Apache? And conversely can we deploy JSP Pages in IIS?

yeah, I'm interested to know the concepts behind this myself..recently I was trying (unsucessfully) to install Macromedia Flash Player plugin on my Solaris 2.7 box for Netscape as 'root' onto the Netscape home directory...apparently there are all kinds of permissions that need to be acoounted...

Igaduma : yeah, I just had that same problem yesterday..it's really annoying that Openwindows stuff for your login, ain't it? Do you have a login like 'root' that is working more normal for the CDE?? What I would do is take all the default home directory files for that user like the .profile...

hello, all...based upon the recommendation of the book 'Unix Power Tools', on a Solaris 2.7 box I was trying to add permissions to the group members for root in the current working directory of /etc with the following command: chmod g=u * anyway not only was the permission not added for the...

ok, that Adobe sw option seems like the best idea. Checked out the 'MaximumPC" magazine and the CD mentioned wasn't in this month or last month's edition - guess it was available several months ago.

I have a computer at home with a slow modem connection and I need to install a newer version of IE. I want to burn a CD copy of the IE5 installation from a location that has a faster download , but I can't find a place to get a self installing version. Does anyone know of such a web site that...

I have a table in SQL Server 7 SP2 with the following kinds of fields (more than 1 of these for each)- int, char, datetime, text, timestamp. I am trying to migrate this table into Oracle 8.1.7 using a 3rd party tool and I get the following error message "a table may contain only one column...

I have a forms ver. 5.06.20.0 fmb file (everything runs fine) I compiled and converted up to 6.0.8.11.3 (no involvement generating from Designer) ...now when I go to invoke a procedure in an attached library of the form in the updated ver. 6.0.8.11.3 , all of a sudden the procedure doesn't...

I need to get a standalone installation of a desktop ODBC driver for SQL Server 7.0. Where might I find one?

Amen! The fewer workarounds that would be necessary (i.e. converting to char as a yet another unnecesary one) for us to incorporate, the more automated our programming can be. Avoiding menial programming like this is in a sense one step closer to the ease of reuse objective behind OO...

yeah, i can see what you're getting at with this workaround, but that's alot of trouble to do a lousy concatenation! It's not a very brilliant idea to use the '+' symbol, is it? A more neutral character would be much better...

there's something I can do in Oracle very easily, but can't seem to accomplish in SQL Server: Remember in Oracle if you want to have a select statement concatenate you just put || between the field names? Well, with SQL Server I tried using the '+' sign and it won't work because it'll add the...
