Subject: Red Hat Unix Enquiries
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 03:30:06 GMT
I have the following enquiries and appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks.
1. I try to install Red Hat Linux, using 3.5GB as "/" and 512MB as
"/swap" partition. The PC I used for the installation is Pentium III
550MHz. The system is seems very slow what could be the problem? Is there
anything else I need to add or config?
2. When I try to send out email using pine, the local email address
appear as [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I change it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]?
3. When I try to run X-win SW at remote host, I encounter the following
error. What could be the problem?
Warning: Color name "sgilightgray" is not defined

4. Is there a way to browse the network and view those microsoft network

5. If I would like to install multi-OS such as linux, win 98, winNT.
Which one should I install first? If linux is in the 2nd partition, how do
I make it bootable?

man syslogd:
-m interval
The syslogd logs a mark timestamp regularly. The default
interval between two -- MARK -- lines is 20 minutes. This can be
changed with this option. Setting the interval to zero
turns it off entirely.

Some commands behave differently depending on where their output
is going. Specifically, whether the output is going to a terminal,
a file or a pipe. This is actually very useful. For example:
If "list" is a file containing one item per line like this:
foo
bar
blah
You want a script to do something with each item. Then you would expect
the following not to work because of the line breaks in the file:
for i in `cat list`
do
<something>
done
But it does work because cat knows that its output is not going to a
terminal. So it uses spaces instead of line breaks. So the shell sees:
for i in foo bar blah
It's also very useful for things like:
rm `find . -name core -print`
Again, the output of the find command ends up all on one line which
makes it suitable as an argument list for rm.

Two ways of doing it: you can create a new boot disk, or you can duplicate
an old disk....
To create a new disk, use the mkbootdisk command. Check the man pages for
more depth.
To duplicate an old disk, volume copy the existing disk (unmounted), and
the put a new disk in, and copy the volume to the new disk....
E.G: log in as "user"
(insert original disk)
[user@localhost user]$ cp /dev/fd0 ~user/bootdisk.volume
(replace original with new disk)
[user@localhost user]$ cp ~user/bootdisk.volume /dev/fd0
and you've got a new disk. It is generally better, though, to use the
mkbootdisk command because it will use the current kernel, or one of your
specification, whereas the duplication of the original is limited to
whatever kernel was included at installation.

I have an Okidata 6e which works well with Linux after I change to
300dpi. Output is slow but much like a laser printer.
Okidata has much better printers than this, 10e and 12e at reasonable
prices. The 6e emulates hp laserjet 4, but some do use postscript.
Else
Get an HP LaserJet in the $700 range or above. 2100 works ok

If I understand this error message correctly, you do not have a
include/jpeglib.h file on your system that is need to build
obj/jpeglib0.h
I think redhat had an rpm called jpeg-lib* which installed the
jpeglib.h header file.
Check all the program requirements and make sure those programs are on
your system.
Yes, on my slackware 7 box I have a jpeglib.h file in /usr/include/

I've had this happen randomly with Linux Netscape 4.7. Seems to be a
memory leak. It's random and I know of no fix. The keyboard will
stop responding when typing in an html form. Happens less frequent
with Gnome but still there is a problem.
You could try rm -rf .netscape from your $HOME and see if that helps.

It could be linux isn't seeing all your RAM. Use 'free -m' too see how much
RAM linux sees. Read this if it isn't:

That's a hostname/primary + domain problem. You need to set that up. Run
'netconf', and go into Basic host info. and your machine should be named
"caneslnx1" and under the primary + domain section (on the Adapter X tab) it
should say "caneslnx1.ntu.edu.sg"

I'd install the win's first, as linux won't screw up the win's--but, the win's
tend to kill linux. Redhat comes w/ lilo, it will make it bootable.

If the cluster is made up of similar machines, yes it makes sense. One
person could easily administrate many machines from off site. However, this
does take considerable unix experience; you can't just throw _Linux for
Dummies_ at an MSCE and expect things to run smoothly.

A lot of the people asking questions on the newsgroups are probably asking
as part of their job. I think this is understood.
But that's beside the point; if the support they need is at a hand holding
level, it's unlikely this venture will succeed. They should think about
hiring competent unix admins or outsourcing the job.

Yes, it is called banner :-) What I mean is that some banner programmes
for older Unixes printed the letters in the usual ie left-to-right
orientation. IIRC, Minixes did this. If all else fails you could look into
porting that one.

Several people have mentioned the usual info sources: usenet
questions, or usenet or mailing list archives. In the past
I've used archives mostly, since the "response time" is
better and you don't waste people's time asking alredy
answered questions. For "standard" Linux, the archives are
good enough (and of course man pages, how-to's, docs with
programs) that I've never posted a question to usenet.
Recently I've started subscribing to mailing lists for some
very alpha or beta stuff I'm testing. I've posted a few
questions and the responses have been phenomenal. Usually
I'll get an immediate answer from one of the developers
or someone really expert in the application. Especially
when I've been beating on something all day and finally
post a request for help late at night, someone from
Europe has an answer in my mailbox the next morning.

In most cases no one knows who am I, what I do, or where
I work. What is helpful is to ask questions only after
you've made an effort at solution yourself, and in a
way that indicates you have at least some familiarity
with the subject at hand. You can still be a clueless
newbie and most people will be helpful - it's just not
helpful to appear to be a whiny or lazy clueless newbie.
And of course it isn't useful to *demand* help, since
all of this relies on the charity of strangers.

What was the decision based on? I can't think of any reason why you
wouldn't want to use shadow passwords. I mean, it's only two extra files
that usually take up a less than two thousand bytes. Unless you want non-
root users to be able to read your password file, and therefore be able to
crack it (even over the internet if you are connected and have running ftp
servers or other vulnerable services), there is no reason not to use
shadow schemes. I think the reason you are having difficulty is because
the utils built into redhat/mandrake are meant to work with shadow
password files. I have had some problems on a micro distibution I am
using where the passwd util doesn't work due to the lack of a shadow
file. Just use shadow... man pwconv, man grpconv

Right Joeri, I've installed Mozilla, but the end-user support for it
appears to be non-existent. Mozilla.org is full of support, but it's all
for developers. What about the end user? Even the newsgroups are for the
developers.
Two things I need to know... One, how to enable Java for Mozilla.
Knowing how to install Java would be a good start, but Java support seems
to have the same problem that Mozilla has, all the support is for the
developer, nothing at all on how the end user should install and use the
product... Two, how to get Mozilla to be the default browser.
