IBM Thinkpad and synchronising email

Hi all,

I have inherited an old IBM thinkpad running Wun98.  I'm going to trash
Win and install Linux.

Any hints (URLs, howtos) especially as to how to get PC Card (PCMCIA)
recognition at boot time?

I would also like to use the same email client that I am using on my
desktop (Evolution (OK Dagmar, hands up, I came back to it!)).  I would
like to synchronise account, address and emails (in fact all user
details) between the desktop and the laptop.

At the moment, I have no idea how to.  Is LDAP (I know very little
about it) a feasible way forward?  I'm looking for clues here, any
ideas?

Cheers.

Re: IBM Thinkpad and synchronising email

I use a Thinkpad 600E with RedHat 8.0 and to be truthful it was a no
brainer, everything worked + Wireless PCMCIA. Although you may have some
trouble with the older internal win modems some of them have.

The Linux Thinkpad web ring can be found at:

Character sets on the web server

Hello,

(I hope that my boss will never read this mail. Sorry in advance)

The problem is purely administrative one. As some of you know, Russians use 
different character sets in Windows (cp1251) and Linux (koi8-r). And now I 
have to install a search engine on my server. I tried ht://Dig, but it 
apparently requires that all indexed documents must be in the same character 
set.

I tried to enforce koi8-r by printing this requirenent (and others) on paper 
and distributing this letter, but everyone (including my boss) violates that 
and uses cp1251 because Notepad in Windows has no support for koi8-r and MS 
Word has no drop-down list to select the character set of the exported 
document. I told him to install Aditor, he didn't.

The words "One doesn't come to others' abbey with his consuetudinary" (sorry 
for a word-by-word translation of the Russian proverb, I don't know the 
English equivalent) have no effect either. "If everyone violates the rule, 
the problem is with the rule". So they tell me that I must adapt, not they.

Another (non-)problem is that PuTTY (the most commonly used here SSH 
application) already accounts for the difference in character sets.

So I have some questions, concerning whether the server or the users should be 
fixed (sorry again for my rudeness):
1) Is there any Linux console text editor that allows me to meaningfully edit 
a file in cp1251 despite the fact that LC_ALL=ru_RU.koi8r?
2) Now I doubt that it was the right choice to install Linux on the server. It 
is still not too late to change this. What benefits and problems should I

package manager

Hi All!

Anybody use some package manager for installing sources?
I find program "sourcer", autor writes that it for LFS-users. But it don't 
like me...
I want something like rpm, but just for source code.

Hello!

I have a IBM Thinkpad 600E that I use for LFS.  What model do you have?
PCMCIA is about the only thing I DID get working on this thing.  But
this is just my case.

For PCMCIA, in the kernel, do not enable(or module) the PCMCIA drivers.
Then use "pcmcia-cs-3.2.4" and compile like normal (make config && make
all && make install) and then enter into /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia the
correct "PCIC" value (in Redhat, it puts "yenta_socket", but "i82365"
should also work.  And after starting, everything worked great here.

With this I have no idea.  Hope someone else can help.  ;)

Good luck.
