Really? Can't believe I got so behind the times...
And what do you mean? I'm running a machine with 128MB swap. And I can't buy
ram, the SIMM slots are full. (32MB Memory).
However I have to say that I re-compiled the kernel last night, and about
4MB iirc was used. Just didn't need the space yet, once I do I'll remove it.

Subject: JDK1.3 Under Linux
Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 20:29:50 +1200
Hi,
I've been trying to at least a week now trying to get a properly working
Java environment on my Linux machine......
I tried installing Kaffe (from RPMs), and I've tried Sun's JDK (also from
RPMs).
The problem is not getting it to install, but getting it to work
afterwards.....
After installing Kaffe I had the following two problems:
1) Javadoc wouldn't work, sighting missing classes
2) I could process any source which made references to classes defined in
other files (even in the same directory).....
After also finding out that Kaffe doesn't support Swing (at least in its
downloaded form) I decided to give Sun's JDK a go....
Again the install went fine, the RPM mananger didn't complain.... but I
don't seem to have a working installation either.
To start with, simply typing java at the command shell gives me "command
not found".
Thinking it could simply be a missing path in my path string I tried
/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/java which gives me different output....
/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/java: /usr/bin/cut: No such file or directory
/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared
libraries: libjvm.so: cannot load share object file: No such file or
directory.

As I was saying I can't get the Sun JDK1.3 working on my Linux Machine
(Redhat 7.1 based).
the sighted shared object, libjvm.so is locatable in many directories under
jre/lib/i386/, ie native_threads, green_threads, classic etal.
What post RPM install steps do I need to do to get a Java Development
Environment working?

Hi all, just upgraded to an Epox 8KTA3 mobo / 1Ghz AMD and can't find the
sensors module for this mobo in the kernel...
Running sensors-detect (lm_sensors rpm package) tells me to load the
kernel module via686a but this module is not in my distro (RH7.0).
Anyone using AMD/VIA K133A chipset and using temp sensors? Please help.

The telnet server does not install by default because it is a security
problem. The use of ssh is preferred. If you want your machine to be a
telnet server then install the telnet server from the CD set and edit its
entry in /etc/xinetd.d to "disable = no".

Greetings,
Thanks for your reply - here is a post I made from another thread; you
replied after I sent it..
I was able to get Telnet going and get to the FTP
login screen by following your advice. Problem is that I can't
authenticate. I'm getting a:
530 Login Incorrect.
I'm guessing it has to do with one of the ftp* files, but not sure exactly
what to change.

The May 2001 issue of Certification Magzine has a feature on Linux certs.
They talk about Sair, LPI, and RH cert tests. Certmag.com I believe is
their website. They may have a little bit of info on the website but you
will probably have to buy the magazine.

You should not have attempted a reboot if you got errors during the Make
process. It essentialy is a waste of time.
Did the make process go okay or not? If not post the errors you received.
You wil need to fix those before you attempt to fix the errors you
received at boot (which is probably due to the fact you didn't edit
/etc/modules.conf like the ALSA docs tell you to).

Hi there
I've the problem that kmix works really fine, when I startet my kde as root.
But if I start kde as a normal user, I get a blank kmix window.
I tried to copy the roots kmixrc file to the users config directory, but
then kmix displays:
Invalid Mixer "Sound Blaster"
I've the same sound settings in both environments. Of course this is due to
a wrong set permission. But I don't know which file is set wrong.
the arts server and xmms works also on both environments, but as normal
user I can't change the volume...

I did the same for an 8KTA3 mobo and various versions of the 2.4.*
kernels, except that i2c is built in to 2.4, so I only had to fetch
lm_sensors. IIRC, I just removed the lm_sensors RPM before installing
the kit that I downloaded from the site that you mentioned.
Wayne, I'm curious about your expericenes with that mobo, though. I and
a number of other people on linux-kernel have had nothing but trouble
with it, and Alan Cox has all but given up on getting it fixed without
a hint from VIA about what the problem is.

Dear all,
I am trying to setup a DHCP server by using "dhcpd-isc". However,
after setting it up, I found it unable to assign an IP to a DHCP
client and gave out the following messages:
DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.150 from 00:50:da:87:8f:12 via eth0
DHCPACK on 192.168.1.150 to 00:50:da:87:8f:12 via eth0

I can ensure that the DHCP client works as it can get an IP from
another DHCP server. Would anybody tell me what the problem is and
how to solve it? Thanks for your help.

What the heck is this? I've never heard of a "supermount" filesystem.
Is this something Mandrake-specific? In any case, this looks like
you're mounting a directory on itself, overriding the mount done
above. Unless someone can advise differently, I'd try removing this
line from /etc/fstab and see if it makes a difference.

Do you have any contents in your /mnt/plexcdrom directory? According
to this, the system thinks there's a device /mnt/cdrom mounted on that
directory. Curious.
Hope this helps.

Well, one good reason to say that is that the kernel source explicitly
says that the "experimental" NTFS writing support is, ahem,
"experimental", "not very well tested", and "DANGEROUS" (their
capitalization, not mine). Sounds to me like a thing to avoid
if you have data you care about on your NT partition.
I do find it interesting that NT4SP4+ encrypts the partition...
I'm running SP6 here, and noticed nothing. Must be optional,
like you said.
