I am wondering if there is any swap space allocated on the box I am installing Oracle
onto. If there isn't can I add some by taking
away from other filesytems, or do I have to re-install the OS?

I'm running Mandrake 7.2, with KDE2 (allegedly)
When I use konsole, and start a root console I get an error message saying
that
Font '-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-iso10646-1' not
found
Check README.linux.console
No such file exists on my system, and a web search for it gave a page that
referred to fonts but didn't provide a solution.
Any idea how I can overcome this?
I should have thought that by the time something gets to version 2.0 this
sort of problem should have been ironed out.

Probably not, if you don't give some more information. What printer do
you have, how did you configure the printer, what commands do you use
when you try to print postscript, and what happens when you issue those
commands?

No, there does not seem to be. Or at least is not in use. Maybe the
original installator made a swap partition but forgot to activate
it. Check with fdisk if any partition is marked as Linux swap. E.g. on
the machine I'm using now:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1247 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 13 104391 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 14 26 104422+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 27 1247 9807682+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 27 65 313236 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 66 196 1052226 83 Linux native
/dev/hda7 197 327 1052226 83 Linux native
/dev/hda8 328 1247 7389868+ 83 Linux native
If it's there, add an appropriate line in /etc/fstab.

Without doing anything, you can create a swap FILE rather than
PARTITION. See man mkswap for how to make a swap file.
In the long run I think performance will be better if you have a
dedicated partition. You can resize your partitions, without
reinstalling, with parted (see freshmeat.net).
If you have more than one disk, performance will improve with one swap
partition on each disk.

RH 6.2, as I recall, attempts to auto-detect your mouse during its
installation. If it can't find one it'll probably ask you for details.
Does what you're saying above imply that it asked you?
If it asks you, you need to know which port you plugged your mouse into.
I'd also assume you'd know where you modem is connected, unless it's an
internal modem (in which case you need to know how it is configured), or
even worse one of those useless win(lose)modems.
If you mouse is plugged into what Dos/windoze calls COM1, then tell
Linux it is on /dev/ttyS0. If COM2, then /dev/ttyS1, and so forth.
The same for your modem. Unless it's (as I said above) one of those
worthless LOSEmodems.

They should have named it "md5salted" passwords instead of "md5 passwords" -
it's a bit misleading.
For anybody interested I came upon the following code showing how this
"md5 salt" is generated (see below).

--snip from pam_ldap.c --
case PASSWORD_MD5:
{
md5_state_t state;
md5_byte_t digest[16];

int i;

md5_append (&state, (unsigned char *) &tv, sizeof (tv));
i = getpid ();
md5_append (&state, (unsigned char *) &i, sizeof (i));
i = clock ();
md5_append (&state, (unsigned char *) &i, sizeof (i));
md5_append (&state, (unsigned char *) saltbuf, sizeof (saltbuf));
md5_finish (&state, digest);
strcpy (saltbuf, "$1$");
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
saltbuf[i + 3] = i64c (digest[i] & 0x3f);
saltbuf[i + 3] = '\0';
break;

Swapon (man swapon(8))
I have seen my swap-partition on my fileserver wasn't activated so I've done (looks
like yours)
"/sbin/swapon /dev/hd(x)(y)"
now it's activated :-) (without any reboot or reinstall)

Try bc -l. You will be put in interactive mode, with the usual notation,
as the one shown in your article. You can even have a predefined bash
function to ease things (from Debian Potato):
calcula () {
echo $* | bc -l
}
Just execute "calcula 2*5" and you'll get the result in stdout.

I don't think virtual hosting will work Because doc root would be on a

The proxy mod for apache maybe??
Is the apps server for use by just your users/clients? if so could you do
something with port forwarding like:
(port80) |----------------www.sql123.com (running on port
80)
[Internet]-----[Linux Box]
(port 5080) |----------------www.coldfusion123.com (running on
port 80)
In this scenario The url's would be www.sql123.com & www.coldfusion.com:5080
you would then set up the linux box to forward port 80 to sql123.com(port
80) & 5080 to coldfusion.com(port 80)
Just an Idea (and probably a bad one but its a shot) :-0

Start with the "mount" command;
$ mount
/dev/hda5 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda10 on /usr type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /tmp type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /opt type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /var type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda9 on /brownes/chvatal/home type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda11 on /brownes/chvatal/local type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /brownes/chvatal/debianstuff type reiserfs (rw)
knuth:/etc/cfengine/master on /brownes/knuth/cfengine type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
knuth:/var/spool/news on /var/spool/news type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
knuth:/var/lib/news on /var/lib/news type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
knuth:/brownes/knuth/debianstuff on /brownes/knuth/debianstuff type nfs
(rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
knuth:/brownes/knuth/home on /brownes/knuth/home type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
knuth:/brownes/knuth/local on /brownes/knuth/local type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (ro)
Combine that with:
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
# fdisk -l /dev/hdb
# fdisk -l /dev/hdc
Where "-l" _lists_ the partition tables for the respective drives, and
this should provide you with a way of getting at the information
you're looking for. Of course, you should See Also /etc/fstab

Can someone tell me an easy way to check how much free space there is,

server and I don't want to have KDE installed for no reason.. How can I
check how much free disk space there is on a mounted volume?
Also, what's the deal with xxxx/yyyyyy files on fsck? Is there a limit to
how many files a system can hold, independent of the file sizes?

I hope I've understood it.
In Linux you don't see the partitions like in a Windows System like
Drive c: d: .....
But with any textviewer you can see the partitins you use in linux
you see it in the file /etc/fstab including the mountpoints.
looks like so :
/dev/sda3 / ext2
defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2
defaults 1 2
.
.
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc
defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts
gid=5,mode=620 0 0
it dosn't matter if a partition is mounted
and if you want to see the whole partitiontable (but you won't see the
mountpoints) use
/sbin/fdisk /dev/hd(x) (for (E)IDE-Devices) or /dev/(sd(x) (for
SCSI-Devices)
first harddisk at example /dev/hda second harddisk /dev/hdb,
but be careful using fdisk

The site for a program I wanted to download told me that I must have ELF and
preferably should have Motif. Can anyone tell me anything about these?
Thanks.

You're going to need to find out what chipset your card uses. Most of
the common PCI 10/100 chipsets (3com, Intel, DEC Tulip, Realtek, and
quite a few others) are supported by linux. Since you are using RedHat
5.2, you might need to get a current kernel, or download and compile the
latest version of the relevant driver, to get support for some of these (The
latest Linksys tulip clones, for instance). You can find the source to
most of the network drivers at http://www.scyld.com/network/.

Fugutech = Hi Sing = Houston = Hsing Tech = H Tech = Matsonic = Minstaple =

Actually, I don't. I was running the above command from my home
directory and it was throwing up the following:
/etc/squid/mib.txt
/usr/share/doc/msec-0.15/security.txt
/usr/share/doc/freetype-1.3.1/docs/apiref.txt
/usr/share/doc/freetype-1.3.1/docs/apirefx.txt
/usr/share/doc/freetype-1.3.1/docs/bitmaps.txt
along with a whole lot more files. It works just the way Bob Hauck
says: if the * isn't expanded, it's passed on to the find command.
