by We developed SneakPeek postings as a result of many Usenet users' desire
for a summarizing tool that would help them skim through the most active
threads. Thus, SneakPeek postings are intended to help users with limited
time keep a* of group discussions, stay in touch with more groups,
and check out new groups quickly.
Usenet is an environment where every voice should count equally. However,
while some users have found SneakPeek postings useful, others have tried
to shout it down, potentially resulting in the tyranny of a vocal few.
Therefore, we encourage all to post their constructive opinions so that we
may democratically decide if there is room for SneakPeek postings in Usenet.

The standard distribution from www.kde.org include a script called
startkde which start all program that needs to be started.
BUT i seems that the port package does not include this script!
Why i don't know, but you can alway copy it from the standard distribution. :-)

Not neccessary. It i s already installed with the KDE-1.0 Port - look for
/usr/local/bin/startkde
To start KDE create a executable .xsession file in your $HOME with at

Found. Now, how do I get kdm to include /usr/local/bin in the
search path without gross hacks like setting PATH=... in
Xsession? I tried setting the DisplayManager*userPath resource
to no avail.

SUBJECT: QT1.40 on FreeBSD2.2.6
*** Ng Seo Boon:
Does anyone had any success in compiling QT1.40 on FreeBSD2.2.6? Pointer(s)
needed. TIA.
*** Thomas T. Veldhouse:
It compiles fine if you do it from the ports collection. I haven't
research why. I suspect they are setting some enviroment settings
differently. Also, after it is compiled, you have to move it where
you can use it, otherwise the QTLIB environment variable doesn't seem

...
Replace the configuration file $QTDIR/configs/freebsd-g++-shared
Happy compiling!

install location of /usr/local/. I believe you can set

SUBJECT: Limiting traffic with ipfw
*** Staffan Ulfberg:
...
After answering your article it occurred to me that maybe a speed
limit was what you wanted, but well, then again I thought, maybe not.
Anyway, you can't use ipfw for this. I'm not well informed at all
about shaping software, but I know of some Linux package called

Luigi Rizzo has made an hack of IPFW to limit bandwith, it's still under development, but take a look at it
I haven't try it, but it's Luigi's soft so it must be working :)
