[SPARCbook] CVS Help

[sparcbook at sunhelp.org]

I have spent more than "5 or 10 minutes browsing through www.sunhelp.org 
or www.sunguru.com and looking at the FAQs and other resources available 
(I *do* know that there is a number of FAQs at these sites,right?)". I was 
trying to find something "related to SparcBook issues," and not "to 
Solaris" in the area of who you can "Call an ass" or give a Swift Kick to. But I was not able to find anything. Of course, this message would 
have been more constructive if the sender would have demonstrated his vast 
knowledge by giving specific list names instead of " ... there are lists 
for that ..."

Now that I got my 1 cent's worth.

I have another question that I hope will be approved as "Sparcbook type":

Using a 3COM-3C589, I connect to the Internet using Netscape. Both 
"nslookup" and "arp" use the DNS address I entered in a "resolv.conf" file 
placed in the /etc directory; Netscape does not. What trick do you need to 
pull to make Netscape recognize the existence of "resolv.conf"?

P.S. - if you would like to respond to my question an are afraid to do it 
because someone may decide that it is not "Sparcbook type" enough, then 
please reply to me directly and not to the list! Just remember, to satisfy 
some people, we need to keep the list devoid of any Solaris questions!! 







With all due respect...

When I subscribed to the list, I was under the impression that the list
was geared towards SparcBook-related discussions and help.
 The last week or so, it seems that a few  of the questions being asked
are not related to SparcBook issues, but to Solaris.  Some of these
wouldn't even make it to the list if the person(s) would take 5 or 10
minutes and browse through www.sunhelp.org or www.sunguru.com and look
at the FAQs and other resources available (you *do* know that there is a
number of FAQs at these sites,right?).
Call me an ass if you do so wish, but I don't think it is up to us to
teach anyone how to untar files, 'linux-size' Solaris, or teach
scripting 101; there are lists for that, and this doesn't seem like the
right one.
Just my 2 cents....
