To get up to 2.2.0 you need to upgrade a number of other utilities
along-side the kernel. Check out the changes.txt file or look at some
of the links at www.linuxhq.com . I would recommend forgetting 2.2.0
and going right to 2.2.1 since there is a major security flaw in
2.2.0.

You can use as much as you have free for a process if a hard ulimit
isn't set.
The rest I don't know off hand, but if you look through the kernel
source code
it isn't hard to figure out.

Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 01:31:28 GMT
I don't know about a compressed filesystem, but a while back when I was
looking there was something similar: zlibc. With zlibc, you could gzip
individual files, and whenever they would be accessed in any way, they would
automatically be uncompressed. So it's more like NT 4's compression, less
like Win3.1's and 95's. Of course, it is not too hard to gzip every file in
a directory. Files accessed in bootup should not be compressed.

Cursor color is an option.

Read the LPG. A great book that I like (beginner level)
is "Beginning Linux Programming" by Wrox Press authors Neil Matthew and
Richard Stones
When a process is forked it is an identical copy of the parent, the only
thing different
is the PID.
So it already has all the Sockets that the parent had...
What you need to do is in the parent process before the fork you check
the
PID.
Then you fork. Now you have to IDENTICAL processes. The next step is
to
check the PID again and if a process notes a change in the PID then that
process knows it is the child. The process that sees no change in the
PID knows that it is the parent. That's it.
The parent would then close off it's sockets. The child would keep it
and
start "spitting" stuff.

Mark;
l ran into the same problem late last night, while I did change some of the
default items the too large kernel came as a surprise. One thing I'd like
to know is how does the Build process determine if the kernel is to large?
The other thing I'm wondering about is why the limit in the first place?
If anybody has pointers to an explanation of the hows and whys of this
limitation a pointer would be very helpful. The problem I have is that
modern hardware and optimizing compilers seem to be at odds with this size
limit. Comments?

Your user name is the part before the "@"
the Mail domain name is the part after the "@".
@ is an illegal character in user names for SMTP
e-mail.
Netscape probably wrote code to ignore what you typed in
and just snip off the part after the "@" sign.

APC's UPSes have a feature that allows you to turn the UPS off from the
linux box. When power goes out the UPS signals the linux box to
shutdown. When the linux box is about to shut down, it sends a signal to
the UPS telling it to shut itself off. The UPS has a built in delay
before it actually powers down to allow the linux box to do its
shutdown. In the APC Back-UPS series, this time is fixed at 3 minutes I
think. In the Back-UPS Pro versions you can set this timeout to several
values (using DIP switches I believe).

...Mike

If you're on a Debian system, you can install the kernel-package
package. Necessary steps here are:
-- Download and unpack the kernel source yourself (sorry).
-- Copy in your old .config, if appropriate.
-- Make *config.
-- Run make-kpkg (via at if you want, although it does demand some
interactive input).
The net result is a set of Debian packages containing the kernel
source, documentation, C header files, and a binary package that, when
installed, drops the kernel image and modules in the correct place and
optionally runs LILO for you. If you don't like the new kernel, you
can get rid of it with dpkg.

So I added 1152x864 at 16 bit Color to the XF86Config mode line. It
works *but* the desktop is way<--- to the left on the screen. Not even
the monitor controls manage to drag it back rightward enough. What-up? I

I'm guessing I need to specify on-screen coordinates somewhere in the

You'd be wrong, it's all there. (For one thing, you don't generally
use a modem to connect a server to the web.) It's not the smallest
computer, though. When that tiny web server first appeared on
slashdot, about 2 weeks ago or so, there were some other sites

I strongly suggest using VNC. It can be had from www.orl.co.uk/vnc.
I just downloaded and installed it today and it works and it works
great! The best thing is that it can be used to display Windows screens
on Linux and Linux screens on Windows. Setup is a piece of cake. The
only problem I had was that it was looking for a font directory that I
didn't have installed. I removed that directory from the vncserver
script and it's been working perfectly. I also reset the default colour
depth from 8 to 16.
Been using it for several hours both on my WAN at work and my 2 PC LAN
at home and it is fantastic. Ran the gimp, Applix and WordPerfect with
no glitches from my Win98 box.
The vncviewer and vncserver scripts take care of all the dirty work for
you. All you have to do is run them.
Sounds like it's just what you need. Best thing is that it's free!

Subject: WAS 3.02 for Linux question
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 22:12:19 -0500
Hi,
I just installed Oracle's Web Application Server for Linux with no
probem. I started the web broker with owsctl start wrb...no problem
here. But when I issue owsctl start admin....the listener for the admin
page.. it just hangs...
the port for web broker is 2649.
and the admin port is 8888.
All the environment is set under user oracle like
ORACLE_HOME
ORAWEB_HOME
..
...
Anyone has any success with WAS 3.02 for linux??
Oracle 8.05 is running and I just upgrade the Red Hat 5.2 OS to Linux
2.2.1
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Minh

Subject: Panic: Bad VFAT
Date: 10 Feb 1999 03:29:42 GMT
Hi,
I've had a few errors lately with a mounted VFAT. It sometimes gets thrown into
read-only mode. Then, I booted up and got a message: "panic" (so I did), "Bad VFAT",
(to which I said, 'Bad VFAT, down, boy, down. Bad VFAT.')
Is there a tool for curing this? I would like to try a Linux-based utility first,
and then see what chkdsk has to day.
Thanks,
nonet
