What would the purpose be? iso9660 file system is a read-only file system,
so what would you do with an empty read-onoy file system

It would be pointless--ISO 9660 file systems are not easily writable.
The file system is designed to be written just once and to be efficient
(well, sort of) when written just once. The main cause is that the
directories are all located after the data and, when data is added
or removed, all the directories should be relocated (and recalculated).
Also, the image takes the room minimally required--there is no notion
of empty space. A really empty image--containing only a root directory
--would be about 50KB in length.
If you want to actively modify the file system before burning a CD, you
could use ext2, for example. Or, you could actively modify a tree and
then create a ready image from it--not many OSes are able to read
CDs with other file systems than ISO 9660.

This applies to redhat, maybe not yours. The method is correct,
though the file may be different.
Your kernel is still looking for the module because it's listed in a
configuration file someplace. On RH systems, it's /etc/conf.modules
and it gets loaded every boot. If the file is a module on one kernel,
it needs to be listed in the file. But, that makes all kernels look
for the module when they boot
To clear the error, you need to go to the file where module
information is stored and change the line for the ips module,
then try a reboot.
Commenting it out may not work. I've tried this and had no
success. Best bet is to back the file up, wipe the reference to the
module out, then try it.

Try:
rpm -e <package_name>-<version>
to gid rid of one. Not the whole name (the mdk........ stuff isn't needed
and will error); just up to the last number in the version.
I use RH not mdk. This is how it works for me. I'd bet mdk does
the same thing.

A fair amount. You want to list the excludes in a file called "foo" and use
"-X foo". But why don't you simply list the things you want to include,
using find? Thus:
find /mnt/nt/C/ -mount -type f -maxdepth 1 -print0 \
| xargs -0 tar czvf /tmp/test.tgz
(you have to play careful for filenames with spaces in)

To be honest wouldn't the best method be a) get a book on Perl and
MySQL (assuming your host supports it) and do it yourself or b) see
how much it would cost to get your host isp to do it if possible.

I had a Western Digital 2.1GB drive once, running Win95 at the time. It
worked fine until it was 75% full, then scandisk started showing more and
more bad sectors. The wd diagnostic program said "No error sites left".
This is bad news. An IDE drive should never show bad sectors, because
part of the drive that you cannot see is reserved to automatically map
into any bad sectors transparently. If you see any bad sectors it could
mean that the drive is about to expire.
What was strange was that I could write and read all zeros or all f's to
the drive and it appeared to pass diagnostics. But when I put actual data
on the latter 25% of the drive, I had trouble reading it. Fortunately the
drive was under warranty. I have been running Linux for years on the
replacement without any trouble.

<sarcasm>so what can, NT perhaps?</sarcasm>
FYI most modern versions of Unix have 32bit UIDs so can support 4
billion accounts, Linux does/will from 2.4 onwards.
In any event that supposes that everyone with a mailbox on the server
needs a Unix account which does not _need_ to be the case.

You're correct about this at least, you _do_ need to move away from a
flat file with large numbers of users (probably before you have 64,000
of them) but again there are options such as PAM+RADIUS or PAM+MySQL
which allow the user lookups to scale.

Well, if you don't have the modules anymore, you should take

I use an ippparam pppd option (for example: ipparam xnet.com) that tells
what I am connecting to and can read that as $6 in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
(or maybe just ip-up in non-RedHat). Then a case statement can do
different things for different ISP's.
You could log this info to a file and if your cron job sees something in
this file, it could be configured to do whatever it needs to for that ISP.
Then you could simply cp /dev/null to that file from /etc/ppp/ip-down (or
ip-down.local) and have the cron job not do anything if the file is empty.

This is easy to do with demand pppd, for example if I am going to be out
of town, I simply run fetchmail from cron twice a day and demand pppd
comes up as long as it is needed. I have it stay up for 15 or 20 minutes
because I pay a max of 10 cents per call (not per minute).
The problem with manually bringing up pppd from a script is how do you
tell how long to stay connected before killing it? And it has been my
experience that wvdial is totally useless because it seems to assume that
you need to log into a shell first, even if you can't or don't need to. A
regular pppd connection using pap authentication works for everything I
connect to.

How is it 'running afoul'?
Does the interface come up at all?
Could be a routing problem
(what does 'netstat -rn' look like beofre and after you dial)?
Then again, it could be anything..what exactly is broken?
[ Incidentally , there's a dedicated comp.os.linux.networking
newsgroup for this kind of stuff. May get a faster answer there...]

Subject: part.table recovery
Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2000 08:16:01 +0200
Somehow I lost partition table on non-root harddisk. The part.table
contained just one partition spanning the whole disk. I do not know the
precise CHS as reported by fdisk when it was still OK.
- If I write and save the table correctly (using fdisk), will I be able
to access my data again, or will they be lost forever?
- BIOS specifies the harddisk as LBA, but Linux does not care. Linux
kernel identifies the hardware geometry of 4096 cylinders, and
consequently fdisk prints the well-known warning. Unfortunately I do not
remember if it was the same when part.table was fine. Should I worry
about this? Should I force Linux somehow to use the LBA translation?
