Hi, August 2, 2000
This is a file partitioner program. It lets you split a file
into pieces and combine pieces back into 1. It was rated a top
10 shareware program in a Japanese OS/2 magazine.
This program was originally written for OS/2. I brought it
with me to Linux a little while ago but have not had time to
continue with it yet. I thought I would put it out there
for people to look at and see what they think.
A few options do not work yet as I did not figure out how to
do them in Linux yet, like -p for prompt (it does not wait for
an answer to the question if I remember correctly).
Let me know what you think. Let me know how you find it useful,
i.e. what you use it for.
Where to get it:

You could write 4 or 5 lines in a backup-script to
1) tar your hdd
2) gzip or bzip2 it
3) split it
4) burn it on CD's
Hope this helps.

Between 2.3.99-pre3 and 2.4.0-test3, there were a number of problems
with the VM, specifically kswapd. At certain points, it would start
hogging the entire CPU and not letting it go for what seemed like
eternity. This was the result of some changes the developers made to
improve performance on machines with lots of physical RAM ( > 800M or
so.) It was mentioned on Kernel Traffic, most specifically at
http://kt.linuxcare.com/kernel-traffic/kt20000703_74.epl but issue #77
had a few things about it as well.
The effect wasn't *really* noticable on my desktop system (K6-2 400MHz,
96M) but was on my laptop (P-150, 32M.) As an example, starting
Netscape took 40s on the laptop using kernel 2.2.14, but 100s using
kernel 2.3.99-pre8. 2.4.0-test4 cut the time required to 60s, so things
were improving a bit... I'll have to try 2.4.0-test5 soon then.

Subject: Mandrake ate my HD :(
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tim)
Date: Mon, 07 Aug 2000 23:25:02 GMT
I'm used to Windows eating my Linux stuff, but this is new.
Here's the story:
Had a 4G HD with Win98, and a 1G HD with an old Red Hat. Bought
a new 40G drive, so I move the Win stuff to it, and wanted to put
a newer Linux on the 4G, and throw the 1G on a shelf.
Anyway, I got the 40G set up ok, and went to install Mandrake
7.1 onto the 4G. Everything went ok, until I tried to boot to
Windows, and it just kept cycling LILO.
Did a little research. Turns out my 40G was too new for my
BIOS, and needed a program called EZDrive on my boot record
to use the drive properly. Apparenly LILO lives in the same
place, on overwrote it.
Fine, so I put EZDrive back. No dice, still can't boot. Did
a sys c: next, and now the drive boots, but appears empty.
Unformat chokes, and unerase finds <1% of my files.
Any ideas?

Okay. It's indirect in a way. But you wouldn't have made that $25k if
you did not contribute to Debian. So, Debian is acting as the
middleman.
It's like you're a farmer. You grow the crops, turned the wheat that
you grow into flour. Then some bakery, bought your flour, turned them
into bread, and sell the bread to the consumer, you never even know who
bought the bread, but the money the consumer paid for the bread at the
bakery, indirectly translated into yuor income. Isn't it!?
So. What difference does it made? You're going through a middleman one
way or another.
Without Debian. You might not have made that $25k.
That $25k did not came from Debian directly. But Debian sold your work
for you, and paid you that $25k as your reward.

I know what Debian is...
But even Debian's founder (forgot his name), I believe he just graduated
from MIT from what I've read a few days ago. He started a commercial
venture right away with vc. Nothing wrong with that. I guess he knew his
free-riding days are now over. Time to get down to REAL MONEY MAKING

This may or may not help but it was taken from the Slackware 7.1
disk which is bootable (at least on my system). This is from the
README file in the /.eltorito/ directory:
===========START===================================================
To make a bootable Slackware CD, get into the top level Slackware directory
(The one with ChangeLog.txt in it) and issue a command like this to build
the ISO image in /tmp:
mkisofs -o /tmp/slack.iso -R -V "Slackware Install" -v -a \
-T -d -D -N \
-b .eltorito/eltorito.img \
-c .eltorito/eltorito.boot \
-A "Slackware Linux" .
(this command will create the '.eltorito/eltorito.boot' boot record)
The use 'cdrecord' to burn it. (See 'man cdrecord')
----
notes:
If you want to master/burn the ISO image under Windows, you're on your own.
===========END=====================================================
Other than that, a search of http://www.deja.com may also prove beneficial.
Good luck.

Boy if I had a dollar for every time I've done a complete reinstall of

The trick is that since RPM is what crashes, doing installs are dicey at
best. All the install programs use RPM, you know.
So far only minimal installations work (possibly because they use RPM less?).
And upgrades to RH 6.2 or Mandrake 7.1 fail when it gets around to using RPM.
If RPM is the only software crashing my computer, how can it be a hardware bug?

This is done by putting the following two lines in your inittab (or

IIRC, it's the "Name Server Caching Daemon".
It stores the names and IP addresses of things to avoid name server lookups

EZ Drive lives on its own unique partition. That is what linux fdisk
said, when I check it out.
I don't lilo likes to live on a EZ Drive partition.
Wasn't there a warning on EZ Drive, that it was going to erase/format
the entire harddisk when you are going to install it?
I seem to recall that when I installed on my Maxtor 11.5G hard drive.
Since you wiped out the 4G that originally held your windows stuff, you
cannot use the Maxtor tools to recopy the information from the 4G to
40G. I guess you are screwed.
This is the time to get out the backups.

I had the devil of a time finding a working sound editor recently. I finally
settled on Electric Ears (http://www.gdev.net/~torello/) -- simple, but it
does most of what I want. Just don't try the "Crop" feature (use "Cut"
instead); it always crashes for me.
What I'm looking for right now is a program to concatenate sound files. Seems
so simple, but...

I had problems with this card and RH5.2. I think it is
working now, but I don't know what I did to fix it!! Maybe
it was recompiling the kernel instead of using the kernel
from RH, or maybe something else.
For yours, is it possible that there is a resource conflict
that doesn't appear until you use something else?
Intermittent things can be hardware, too :(
Good luck.
