Hi all,
I'm using apache 1.3 and SUSE 7.0
I will use apache as a PROXY, so I uncommented the lines about proxy in
httpd.conf
- apache is OK : a station on my LAN can connect my server. Apache send his
banner to the station.
- my dialer is OK : when I run wvdial on my server, the modem connects my
provider and I can browse the web ( using lynx ).
So,
how have I to do for automatic dialing when apache receives a request from
LAN stations, to the proxy, for the web ?
Thanks for answer.

If the CDRom is bootable you should be able to start the machine
from there, since no "bootable" cdrom is found, I think that you
haven't done the burning in the correct way. Well, use any other
(working) machine or your machine itself to create the boot disk
and use that instead of booting from the CD.

Are you just being theoretical? I'm not sure how big the .com zone file
is; last time I heard, it was a big less than 2GB.
Anyway, I answered your question: upgrade libc, recompile things that
give you trouble, and be prepared for lots of things to break (or at
least fail to work for large files) anyway.

I had that same problem when I installed one of the RedHat or Mandrake
versions.
When you install as a Server, it thinks you just want to use it as a
server (http, ftp, mail, or whatever else you enable), but does not
install X (did it ask if you wanted to configure X during install?). So
you likely need to install the rpm's for X and whatever you want to use
for a window manager. Or do an update from the install CD's and do a
Custom install including X.

For the console, man setterm. For X it depends on which
X is in use. For X <= 3.3.6 use xset. For X > 4.0 you
need a setting in your /etc/X11/XF86Config[-4] file as
shown below.
Section "Monitor"

HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0

I believe it is also possible to set the blank, suspend and
off times in here as well. I use kcontrol to set my off time.

I have the same problem, but different setup.
I cannot seem to get GRUB installed correctly. I have an ASUS A7V board,
with onboard ATA100 controllers. Hence, my first HDD is /dev/hde, my second
one is /dev/hdg. On /dev/hde is Windows 98 (this has no problem loading
from GRUB). Linux is on /dev/hdg.
The directory structure on my linux drive is as follows: swap, /boot, /,
/home, where /boot and / are ReiseFS. The problem occurs when I try and
boot Linux. If gets as far as VFS mounting the root partition, but then the
kernel panics with the message: Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs.
I am currently having to boot Linux from floppy disk (not at all good!).
Any ideas?

If you want to resolve local (private) hostnames or IP's using DNS
methods, you have to be running some sort of nameserver configured with
forward and reverse lookup for your LAN (the 'bind' package or 'named').
Just make sure that you have done any security updates, and/or configure
named to only 'listen-on' loopback and local IP's. The simplest way to do
this is to install the bind and caching nameserver packages, and then read
the DNS-HOWTO to add your forward and reverse zones.
Programs that use gethostbyname() or gethostbyaddr() will use whatever
methods you set up in /etc/host.conf or /etc/hsswitch.conf (possibly
starting with /etc/hosts). But 'nslookup' or 'host' specifically use DNS.

Hello, I have had the same problem. What I did to resolve was to use fips
and shrink down my first partition down to about 4G. Windoze 98SE was on
that first Partition. I used the next free space for Linux Swap and Native

Disk Druid and Added a "/" with about 4G and then a swap. Disk Druid was
happy. K.I.S.S.!

I'm planning to so that for the CPU's sake. I'd just like to find a
similar

are

It's there, no problem. I've even booted with the kernel option "no-hlt"
and the
overall temp come up to 59/60╟.

the message returned is "error ocuured in copying install image to hard

Have you loaded the "rsh" daemons onto your system. Take a look in your
/var/log/messages file and look for the section on xinetd which was recorded
just after your reboot and see if it says anything in there.
Make sure that there is NO line there saying: disable=yes

Both HMonitor and LMSensors are giving the GOOD temperatures. Every temp
sample
I took was (and is) confirmed by the BIOS display report (1╟ max of
variation)

Both Windows and Linux run at an average of 55╟C as HMonitor and
LMSensors report
(confirmed by a quick reboot and a look at the BIOS report). If I
activate the
"CPU Low Power Mode" on HMonitor (win), within 1 minute, the 55╟C
temperature
drops to 37-39╟C (immediately rebooting the machine and checking the
BIOS also
reports this NEW temperature). I'd just like to know what to do on Linux
to obtain
the same result.

Yes, I understand Linux will read off the windows partition, but the
reason I want an mp3's only drive is so when I want to reformat and
install windows or linux, the time to reformat that partition of the hard
drive is much less. i.e. I want my mp3s "isolated" from my programs and
OS's.

Where's your boot partition in this partition scheme?
