This is an example of an inconsistency I found in the make file RH 5.2:
vmlinuz and vmlinux. In the /boot directory, you will find for RH 5.2 a
spelling of vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7. If that is the directory where you are
looking.
After doing a make boot, I got errors and I looked in the redirected
output and found the spelling vmlinux in the makefile. That may be my
problem also. If you get more information on this please share it with
me. I have a posting above called: Make Boot Errors.

I am trying to configure X on my system and none of the "default"

trying it. But I have one problem, the front and back porch settings I
have gotten from my monitor manufacture are very small, do I need to
convert them to some other format?? my settings are at this web address.

This recipe runs a _separate_ program (here, a script), and
*programs cannot change the environment variables of the
processes that call them*.
You can accomplish what you want in a given shell, however,
by doing
. set_path
(or "source set_path"; and, yes, that is a single dot).

That, Chris, is like saying that building a fence around your house
reduces crime. Maybe it does - for you - temporarily, but the long term
effect is that it INCREASES crime for you and everyone else, since you
ignore it rather than dealing with it. There will always be the
relatively few who maliciously misuse newsgroups, or anything else that
suits their fancy. But the real irritation comes when large numbers of
average well-meaning folks, like you and me, just fall into bad habits.
Those habits can be changed with a bit of cajolery. That's all I'm
suggesting.

I currently have a dual boot system with RH6.0 and Win98 the first thing I
did was to setup my harddrive for the ext2 file system which is what Linux
uses. I used Partition Magic for this and it worked really well for me all
I did was allocated some free space off my DOS partition and then setup the
freespace as ext2 for Linux. From there after a couple of reboots that
Partition Magic has you do I again rebooted the machine but this time with
the RH6.0 boot disc. From there basically all you have to do is follow the
setup menus and they should guide you throught the installation process.
Personally I didn't think RH6.0 was that bad to install but one thing I did
discover is that you need to have Win98 setup and configured before you
begin you RH6.0 install because Win98 does some weird thing to IRQs and
such as it's setting up. Good luck

Subject: Catching the password with PAM
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 11:20:11 +0300
Hello everyone!
Our application needs to catch the new password when a user changes
the password. We figured we can do it with PAM.
I wrote my own pam_sm_chauthtok, compiled it to a shared lib and put
it in /etc/pam.conf for the passwd entry.
What happens is that my module is called, but no password change
happens. I realize that I can now use pam tools to perform the change,
but this is not what I need. I want the password change to happen
using the regular routines, then I want to catch it.
What did I misunderstand?
Does anyone have a working example I can use?
Thanks in advance.

Why not simply move the Office51 directory to /tmp temporarily?
(assuming /tmp does not lie across file systems - if so, put it somewhere
else, the point being, if it's not there, tar will not add it.)
Sure, it's not fancy, but it's the quickest and easiest way if you don't have

Subject: VideoCDs under Linux
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 21:16:11 +0200
Hi all!
I've been trying to find out how to burn VideoCDs (VCD) under Linux,
but I can't find out squat.
I've found out that MpegTV can grab the mpg-files from a VCD, but
I have no idea how to burn a copy of such a CD. Also, ripping the
dat and bin/cue files is beyond me...
When it comes to burning, cdrecord has a -xa2 mode, which I believe
the VCDs are using, as well as -cdi which might also do the trick.
Has anyone successfully does this under Linux?
Thanks,
Vidar

That's the one thing it can do, actually. At least, I can get it to check
IRQ 10, which is where the card is. The problem is that I have to use
ctrl-alt-del to power it down, and if something knocks the mouse (or even if
the light changes), or if any network traffic happens by then it won't go
back to sleep.
If I turn off sensitivity to the mouse, then if the mouse moves the machine
stays suspended so nothing picks up the data packet, so it sits there
blocking the queue which is shared with the keyboard (it's a PS/2 mouse), so
I can't unsuspend it with the keyboard.

I haven't actually used it myself, but something that sounds like it may
be what you're looking for is siag. It may not be, but it's worth a look.
It's included in Debian, and I'm sure other packages and more info is
findable online.

If you choose to have a web server installed at setup time Apache is what will
be installed. If you choose not to install at setup you can alwasy use rpm to
install the package later on. Once you install the package, Apache is
automatically setup and started during the Linux startup sequence. You can
test it if you are on a network (LAN or whatever)by typing in your hostname
and you should see a default Apache page stating that you have correctly setup
Apache.

A couple of notes on the use of HLT in Linux: Support for this has to be
compiled into the kernel. On multiple CPU systems HTL will not be used even
if support has been compiled into the kernel.
I think it is a strange argument to not run a particular service/program/etc
because the processor will get hot. Your system should be desiged to be able
to run full tilt 24 hours a day seven days a week! If the processor fails
during high load periods it is faulty and should be replaced!
If you are concerned about power consumption I'm sure there are more
efficent measures to be taken such as doing what you want done and then
powering off the computer completely.

The other day I wrote a short note how you get your SB AWE 64/128
working under SuSE Linux 6.1. Perhaps this might help you?
The instructions can be found under

I am a newcomer to Linux/Unix. But, I solved the problem by installing
