(Not the same Michael Pye I went to school with?)
You can't do that with symlinks. It'd look for a file called 'vi -e'
rather than running 'vi' with the argument '-e'. Try creating a small
shell script or a shell alias instead.
I thought 'vi -e' emulated ex rather than ed, though.

There is a program 'sysctlconfig'. It came with my RH7.1 installation, I'm
not sure about Suse, but I'm sure it's easy enough to get. That allows you
to set those values, although I can't say as they've made any difference to
my Linux setup - whereas they made a HUGE difference to my Windows setup.
There's a 'fancier' version of that software, gpowertweak, also available.
More options for more devices, I think. Check freshmeat.

No. That should not matter. The host.def should
point to where freetype was installed. Now you need
to an ldd on /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so and make sure
the correct freetype is included. Then you can compile
Qt and hopefully all would be well.

Not sure if I understood what you want to do?
However, you could use the system function gawk has, like:
awk '{system ("echo smbmount whatever " $1)}' infile

That would do it - turn it "on" via chkconfig command.

Nope, sendmail 8.11.2 on Red Hat 7.1 is compiled
to use tcp wrappers, even though it's running as
a standalone server. Other non-inetd services
also do so (portmap, etc)

OK, httpd is unhappy, look in /var/log/httpd/error_log
and see what apache is unhappy about

AFAIK apache does not check hosts.allow, it's pretty
much as open as you allow it to be with the access
controls in httpd.conf (wide open by default for normal
pages)
However an ftp server might have an entry like so:
(assuming the use of proftpd)
in.proftpd : ALL
or if you are more selective, like so:
in.proftpd : 127. 192.168. 203.45.223.45
to allow localhost, all hosts on the 192.168 lan, and 203.45.223.45

That sequence (configure make make install) is probably the most common
way to do things since most of the stuff comes from the GNU project, and
configure is a GNU hallmark. Some other packages may use other
sequences or commands.

A dependency error means that some required package is not installed
where RPM can see it (this may happen when installing from .tar.gz
sources). The cure is to install the required package and try again.

These are mostly kernel RPMs and some packages that can use the
additional CPU instructions that are available in the '586 and '686
intel processors. The 486 didn't add much in the way of optimized
instructions so its not generally used as a seperate version.

The -1 part of the RPM name is a sequencing number added by RedHat as a
convenience when they have made some minor changes to the package that
didn't change the main version number. Usually it means that they did
something different in the configure phase so that it would run on RH.
>[5] What do I do with RPMs with the *.src.rpm extension? How are they
>different from *.i386.rpm RPMs?
SRPMs (source RPMs) are intended to be used with the /usr/src/redhat
directory structure (BUILD SOURCE SPEC etc) for building RPMs from the
sources. This is useful for installing versions from a different
version of RHL (for example I have installed vim 6 from the RH7.1
packages by using the SRPM) The .i386.rpm packages were built from the
SRPM packages and are precompiled binary packages.

That means that "Gabber" uses the libraries from the GNOME system to do
its GUI. It generally does mean that it wants to have GNOME installed
and being used as the major GUI system. GNOME and KDE are the two major
GUI packages. E, Sawfish, FVWM etc are X-windows "window managers" and
are seperate from GNOME/KDE. GNOME/KDE run on top of the window
managers. Most X-windows programs won't depend on the WM or the DE
unless the specifically say that they do.

I'm running kernel version 2.4.4 on an otherwise RH 7.0 system. I down
loaded the sources from kernel.org and did a full configure (make
xconfig) and build (make bzImage, make modules; make modules_install;
make bzlilo).

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all,
Little background before I plead for help -> Had two distro's
on my hard disk, one on hda2, and another on
hda4. Decided to go with hda4. Wanted to remove the distro on
hda2, cp hda4 to hda2 delete hda4 and resize hda2
with GNU parted to fill most of the hard disk...whew.
Okay, so far, it's going pretty well. I used the cp -a command
to maintain links (?), anyhow, it worked well. One small
issue though, /etc/mtab.
I booted into hda2, but the 'mount' command produces this:
/dev/hda4 on / type ext2 (rw)
...plus other non-relevant things.
I can even mount /dev/hda4, and when I do so, 'mount' gives:
/dev/hda4 on / type ext2 (rw)
...blah
...blah
/dev/hda4 on /mnt/redhat4 type ext2 (rw)
What's that about?
checked my /etc/mtab file, and sure enough, the first line is
/dev/hda4, which isn't surprising since I
copied it directly *from* hda4. I've seen the warnings about
*never* editing your /etc/mtab file, because
it is auto-generated - so where is the "auto-generation" going wrong?
Thanks much....in advance

Hi!

Newer software and hardware can overcome it but we have many instances like in
your case where it hickups.
But there is a solution/s.
Repartition the drive and reinstall both OS's in a way that will let you do later
installation of each without disturbing the other.
With linux fdisk create a primary partition starting AND ending on cylinder No.1.
It will be /boot.
Now install ME letting it to take part of the drive (lets say 8Gb).
Again with Linux fdisk create in the rest of the space Linux extended (85) and
divide it into logical partitions /swap, / (root), /usr, /home to your liking.
Install Linux.
Have fun.

Date: 27 May 2001 16:14:07 -0700
I had a bear of a time figuting this out, so I fugured I'd contribute
it to the general good. I have an older Dell laptop I want to use for
some basic web hacking while on the road etc. So I set about wiping
the drive getting ready for a linux install. Ran into trouble when I
realized the bugger couldn't boot from the CDROM!!
So, I had a bootable DOS diskette around that I booted from, and
fdisked, set one primary partition as active, and format \s the
entired HD as one big partition (1.3GB big? - NOT!). Anyway I reboot
and copy the files from the dos floppy, and edit the autoexec.bat and
config.sys files so I have CDROM support. Boot from C:. Insert
Mandrake disk, do to DOSUTILS\AUTOBOOT and run AUTOBOOT.BAT. It copies
a bunch of files to c:\mandrake. Copy those files to c:\. Reboot.
Actually you may not really have to reboot but you need to run:
loadlin vmlinuz initrd=cdrom.rdz cdrom ramdisk_size=32000 text
the "text" is to do a text-based install. It barfs otherwise when GTK
starts.
Now it churns a bit then finally asks about the CDROM. I set it up as
an "other" > "SCSI Support" (the last choice). Autoprobe, then it
churns a bit and finally starts the install up!

I had the same problem when I installed RH 7.1. I tracked it down to the
following line in /etc/sendmail.cf:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
commenting out that line solved the problem.

Now when I try to mount the windows partition I get
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /fat-c
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems
I can't boot up into windows at all though the linux partion is fine.

]IP=$(/sbin/iconfig | /bin/grep P-t-P | /usr/bin/cut -c 21-38 | /bin/awk
]'{print $1}' );
Or remember that the IP address is reported ( arg. 4 I believe) to the ip-up script
