It's still much slower than SCSI (less than half the bus speed)
as well as no ability to chain commands.
# hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 64 MB in 0.58 seconds =110.34 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 32 MB in 2.54 seconds =12.60 MB/sec
That's with my usual rc5des and a handful of windows open. It'd be
better if I used a faster spinning drive (this is a 7200 RPM drive),
but it's still about 30% better than the UDMA stats in the HOWTO.
In the real world, SCSI handles multitasking much better thanks to the
ability to chain commands. (The drive has its own scheduling
algorithm, which reduces seeks.)

That system is running 2.0.36. (2.2 still makes me a bit uncomfortable
and that system is rather critical since it does my network monitoring
and paging.) Hence, no UDMA support.

It sounds like you have source code and I'm not sure that's what you
really want. I think you need to look for a *binary* rpm package of
whatever this software is. If you'll tell us more about what you want to
install we can help.
If, otoh, you really do want to use make, it's in a standalone rpm which
you can install. Make is one tool used to compile programs from source
code. My guess is that, since you didn't know that, it's not what you
want to do.
That's no problem at all. Just tell us what software you want to install
and we'll help.

It really depends on the program. Usually several files are generated -
object files, they're called. But there is usually only one *executable*
file generated - and it's not usually placed in /usr/bin automatically -
you'll have to move it yourself to where you want it.
It's pretty tough to give more specific info because programs vary so
much in size & complexity. There might be config files included which
have to be placed somewhere, for example. If it's a source code package,
however, there is almost always a README file included which gives
instructions for the specific package.

Subject: VERY easy CHMOD question
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 09:49:42 -0600
. . . at least I think it is a CHMOD question.
I am working with PPP (NO! Don't quit reading, the question really doesn't
involve PPP =) and am trying to run a script that dials and connects, etc.
I made the script, put it in my /etc/ppp directory. [/etc/ppp/ppp-on]
I made a link to it in /usr/sbin since it is in my path.
When I type: ppp-on it tells me:
bash: /usr/sbin/ppp-on: No such file or directory
I change to /etc/ppp and I type: ./ppp-on it tells me:
bash: ./ppp-on: No such file or directory
The file is there. The mode is 700, and I am root.
I thought I remembered there being a special mode for scripts, but I'm not
sure.
I changed it to -rws --- --- but that returned the same error.
If I type: sh ./ppp-on it at least runs the script, but that's not my
goal here.
What do I have to do to let this script be run from the command line without
putting the shell in front of it?
TIA!

No, it uses the Internet Gopher protocol -- a stateless protocol.
Gopher servers typically run/ran on TCP port 70.
The protocol is detailed in RFC 1436, authored by Farhad Anklesaria

I had a similar problem in Linux(no response from any display/input
devices attached to the machine), but luckily I have a network here so I
just fired up the other machine, logged in(via telnet) and was able to
do an orderly shutdown. It hasn't happened since.

Wouldn't it make more sense for all flavors of Unix to put all the
"bootup scripts" the "rc" ones in the directory where the kernel is stored?
The "/boot" subdirectory. In this way anthing pertaining to booting Unix
is segregated from the rest of the system and is in one place as a subdirectory
under /boot called perhaps "init.scripts". Lets face it, the rc scripts
do the same thing as Msofts autoexec.bat files with the Unix "conf" files
being the Msofts ".ini" files.

IIRC, this is the same boot manager program that OS/2 uses
(modified slightly to support FAT32). I use the original
OS/2 Boot Manager to boot linux on my other machine and it
works fine. A couple caveats, though: don't use linux fdisk
or Disk Druid to create your linux partitions; use Partition
Magic instead. Leave them unformatted and add the intended
linux boot partition to the Boot Manager menu before
installing linux (once it turns into a type 83 partition it
will be hard to convince Boot Manager to add it to the boot
menu). Install linux and use linux fdisk to mark the
partitions as type 82 (linux swap) and type 83 (linux
native). When asked where to put lilo, place it on the boot
record of the linux root partition, not the MBR or you will
overwrite Boot Manager's boot code.

I had a similar problem with rvplayer. Turns out it may be fixed
by a patch to the rvplayer binary. If you do this, be absolutely
certain to copy your original rvplayer binary, just in case.
Here's the three lines you need to type to "fix" rvplayer:
dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=657586 conv=notrunc
dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=665986 conv=notrunc
dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=702554 conv=notrunc
With any luck you should now have a working rvplayer!

-o specifies the name of the output file.

Hello,
Does anybody know where the NT xplorer for Linux Website go to?
About three weeks ago it disappeared from http://www.x-plorer.net.
(or org). What version is it upt to and are there any mirror sites?
Is it becoming aparat of KDE?
I can understand why it disappeared, considering the price of
internet hosting at the above site. I would move too!
TIA

I am thinking about getting a dedicated server so as to supply web
space to my web design clients, i have looked at re-seller deals but
feel my own server would be better, however i have not been able to
find a Virtual Control Panel which would allow me and my clients to
administer accounts. The server would be apache on linux, anyone know
where i can get buy one ?
