Ah.. okay, that makes sense. Thank you... now that I look at mine I
have lots of memory free.
Mem: 127820K av, 124416K used, 3404K free, 41404K shrd, 2752K buff
Swap: 72252K av, 13176K used, 59076K free 58572K cached
3404 + 2752 + 58572 = 64728K free. Good. That's with X running
KDE. Much beter. Thank you for explaining that to me.

Yes, but not with the computer. YOUR brain is not Y2K compliant. Try:

It was probably not running because of the problem with gethostbyaddr.
It failed because kill failed to kill a process that was already dead.

No. Sendmail is just not running -- it probably gave up when it found
two IP numbers with the same name (actually gethostbyaddr() probably
returned an unexpected error status and sendmail crashed early in its init).

windows and 4 distros of linux going just fine. The order is reversed and I
did it with linux fdisk, much like he did with gpart. You will see that

Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2001 22:27:25 GMT
I have a Slackware-based system using glibc 2.1.3. Now that glibc 2.2
is available, how does one safely upgrade? Installing glibc 2.2 and
removing the old glibc 2.1.3 seems to make it impossible to login!
Thanks in advance.

Sendmail is just looking up its interface. For sending mail, it will
use whatever the kernel assigns based on routing requirements.

That's not a problem (unless your startup code uses names instead
of addresses in ifconfig).

Sure you can, particularly if it is your own name. If you
have a preference, put the most preferred entry first.

If it wasn't running, then the attempt to shutdown would fail. You
perhaps have other problems that prevent it starting.

I compiled ker 2.4.0 on a RH7.0, and most of it is well, except for two
things:
1.
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion rpc.lockd: lockdsvc: Invalid argument
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion nfslock: rpc.lockd startup failed
Any reasons for that? Did I missconfigure something? Do I need a more
recent version of rpc?
2.
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff
Hartmann
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for
agp memory: 94M
Jan 6 17:14:19 orion kernel: agpgart: agpgart: Detected an Intel i815,
but could not find the secondary device.
...
Jan 6 17:16:54 orion kernel: [drm:r128_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize
agpgart module.
Here's how I configured the AGPART/DRI:
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set
CONFIG_DRM_R128=m
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
The info on dri.sourceforge.net (DRI user guide and DRI compilation
guide) is somewhat confusing. The user guide says that the kernel module
r128.o is going to be used by r128_dri.so, so I assume I had to compile
r128.o. However, the compilation guide says not to compile the kernel
module (r128.o).
Also, I saw some posts on dejanew mentioning something about /dev/dri. I
don't have that, nor did I find any info on it. Any suggestions?

Try the available newsreaders and then pick the one that suits you

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2001 22:52:17 GMT
I have two NIC:s (3C509 combo) in my RH6.2 server. Since it is a
server install I have no KDE or any other GUI tools at hand :-(
I have had to add the two cards to mu /etc/conf.modules file in order
to be able to use the cards at all. But every time I start up Linux I
have to do the following as root:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.129
Only at this point does the network function.
It is becoming rather tedious work and I want it all done as a part of
the startup. How can this be done?
Every time I install a Linux before I did it as a workstation and I
could use the KDE tools for this. Then it was somehow entered into the
system permanently, but not now. I tried adding ifcfg-eth0 and
ifcfg-eth1 files to the network-scripts directory but then the
ethernet driver totally refused to start so I had to remove them..
I have read Linux Networking HOWTO and Ethernet HOWTO and several
other docs but I can't find a tip on this problem....

have said it once, and I will say it again, the future is in selling
services, NOT software, hence, the reason why Redhat is developing a
consulting wing to handle installation and integration of Linux. If you
look at the big players, esp. IBM, most of there revenue is derived from
consulting/selling solutions based around there software, ie. creating the
ultimate integrated solution.

Slackware Linux 7.1 will run on that configuration.
I do suggest that you get a lot more RAM though, that is going
to be a major bottleneck.

Subject: joining two lines
Hi,
Not to ask a stupid question, but does anyone
know of a sed (or other) command to join every other
line in a text file? For example
Before:
abc
def
ABC
DEF
654
321
After:
abcdef
ABCDEF
654321
Many thanks,
--Tony
