Something like "/bin/mount -o remount,rw /". See the mount(8) man page.

Hi, I am considering purchasing a new computer. Almost every system

To narrow the problem try
ping 152.3.250.1
or
traceroute 152.3.250.1
and if that works:
nslookup godzilla.acpub.duke.edu 152.3.250.1
which should give something like:
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu
Address: 152.3.250.1
Name: godzilla.acpub.duke.edu
Addresses: 152.3.102.8, 152.3.233.43, 152.3.233.44, 152.3.233.45
152.3.233.46, 152.3.233.42
if that works, just
nslookup godzilla.acpub.duke.edu
if that works, I have no idea what could be wrong.

Well, if you're using a recent kernel, it's worth compiling in the video
mode text support (in "Console drivers") and putting "vga=ask" in your
lilo config. Don't know the ins and outs, but it happens to work much
more easily than SVGATextMode on the linux box I use...

I too am seeing problems exporting my linux fs to a sun sparc 5, I get the
error message:

Should we be using the old nfs stuff, if so how do we jump bacl from RH6.0
knfs to the old nfs ?

I spent the better part of a couple days trying to get this Yamaha 4416s
to work. Until I read DejaNews and did a search on 'linux yamaha 4416'
When you first boot up, you see the 'press <ctrl>-a to enter scsi
setup. Do so and get to the channel your drive is on. Change the
target that your 4416 is on to 20 MPS instead of 40. If there's a 'wide
scsi' turn it OFF for that target only, the number will change
automatically.
Then reboot into Linux.

Hi Linux community members,
How is it possible that Linux has succesfully grown by contributions from
so many different persons, without degenerating into chaos ?
Where did the structures originate, and become disciplined/enforced to:
collect bug reports and enhancements, to feed into next code update,
...............................................documentation update,
enable contributions from dispersed outsiders, yet avoid chaos from
undiscipled/incompetent 'members',
allow division of labour, (specialisation) in co-operated efforts,

Hi all.
I'm very new to Linux. I recently installed kde. Also staroffice 5.1, netscape
navigator 4.5, among other things. This is on a dell inspiron, 233 mmx, 64 meg
of ram. swap disk is set at 51 meg. My Linux is redhat 5.2. Virtually
everything I do runs unbelievably slow. Staroffice comes up in a snappy 20
seconds or so, and navigator even takes a few seconds longer. Any suggestions
as to why this is so? If you need other info as to my configuration let me
know. Is this just kde, or is my configuration screwed up do you think? I think
I would love using kde, if only things moved faster.
thanks,
wil snyder

Wow, you're welcome.
I got one of those for my birthday and beat my head against the wall for
the better part of two days until I got smart and went to DejaNews and
did a search on 'linux yamaha 4416' Went and looked at the postings and
viola.
Then I found out I had a drive that refused to acknowledge it had a disk
in it at all (but that's another story <g>)

nod mail should not be this hard.
there are three things which seem to be hard to install/configure in
linux - X, ppp and e-mail. X, at least, has the excuse of a plethora
of video cards and monitors. ppp configuration seems to be getting a
little more automatic. mail (via sendmail) still sucks. and there is
no reason for it to suck so much.
no mailer should have a 1000+ page batbook to discuss configuration.
something is seriously wrong if it does.
i am using qmail which is *a lot* easier to configure but has various
license problems (binary distribution was prohibited for a long time,
hacked binaries are still verboten afaik.)
there are a number of better MTAs, smail, exim, zmailer. almost
anything you can think of is easier to configure than sendmail. why
distributions like redhat do not ship with an alternate, easy to
configure MTA i do not know.

Yes, you can find it in every distribution, in section `games' (don't

I think that 32M of memory is not enough for ANY current OS. Linux quickly
fills all memory you've got ( eg. 1 netscape session is about 15 M, KDE is -
I think - about 20, etc) and then, when Linux begins swapping, everything
becomes tooo slow. I suspect that KDE and swap manager do not interact at
all and sometimes the latter simply puts important KDE memory areas into
swap. However, I am not sure - I am almost a newbie too :-).
The answer to your problem is obvious. Go and buy , say, 64Mb more of RAM.

***** HELP PLEASE Linux RH5.1 won't boot
I've had RH5.1 Linux on my system for some time. Now it won't boot up
with several errors. I think the drivers I enabled for OS/2 to read
Linux in R/W mode, might have corrupted something. Even though I
never wrote to the EXT2 partition, OS/2 writes EA files and such. My
linux partition is /dev/hdb1.
Linux starts to boot, but then the errors start. Among them, are:
Attempt to access beyond end of device
Unable to read superblock
checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
hdb: media changed
hdb: packet command error: status 0x51 errors 0x00, 0x50
hdb: code 0x70 key 0x05 asc 0x24, aseq 0x00
FAT bread failed
unable to mount root file system
I tried booting from my linux boot disk and using the rescue disk.
After it mounts successfully, I tried to run e2fsck, but it fails with
many of the same errors, plus, it says the partition is write
protected. Actually, I think it failed when I tried to mount the
linux partition on my hard disk.
Can anyone please explain to me how I (a linux newbie) can correct
this problem? I played around with linux when I first got it, and did
a lot of customization, which I probably couldn't duplicate (and
didn't know how to back up). Now I don't have much time to work with
it, but would like to recover what I had. I'd appreciate any help!
