Hello All,

I tried last night to download the Mandrake-developer directories along with
Mandrake directories. The problem is that all of this stuff was over 11Gig and
ran my drive out of space.

How do I install cooker on my Mandrake 7.2?

also, I have a partition that available that I want to use to build this 115Meg
minimum distro onto but am not sure what Pixel means about the Load from floppy
and use an empty auto_inst.cfg

Could you please be a little more specific until I get the hang of how things work?

Thanks,
Lonnie

[Cooker] Mandrake Installation process

2001-08-10 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hello All,

Is there a document explaining exactly what files are executed during the
install boot-up sequence?

I would like to know more about the Mandrake installer from begining to final OS
installation and configutation.

In particular, I am interested in what is the first file that is executed and
what configuration files does it use, then what happens next ..

Could anyone please enlighten me as to this whole process in some specific details.

2001-08-10 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hello Pixel,

sorry to bother you but could you please tell me the next steps to take?

 install cooker.

I have just downloaded the entire COOKER directory from the Mandrake-Developer
and am readdy to try to install the 115Meg onto a Linux partition that I have.

 at individual package selection, unselect all (easy solution is to use the
 Load from floppy, for this put an empty file auto_inst.cfg on floppy)

Where do I find this floppy image on which to place the auto_inst.cfg

Could only find auto_inst.cfg.pl in the cooker directory.

Is this just one of the regular boot/net/hd install images?

Lonnie

Actually, larger than 10Meg is also fine.

I just wanted to find the most stripped down, ans smallest, version of Mandrake
that I could and also one that would only have Xwindows installed even without
the window manager if possible.

I want to be able to add all of the specific applications that I wanted and not
have all of the apps that I generally do not use in there as well.

[Cooker] limiting access

2001-08-09 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hi All,

The small distro link was exactly what I think that I am look for. I will
investigate it further.

I know that you can change permissions on directories to prevent a user from
entering a specific directory tree, but is there a way to prevent a user from
exiting out of a specific directory?

For example, is there a way to prevent the users from leaving their own home
directories?

Thanks Again,

Re: [Cooker] limiting access

2001-08-09 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Well, I was just thinking back to the days of Novell and seem to remember that
when a user logged in, they were mapped into their own user space and generally
did not have access to other areas.

I though that this was a nice security issue.

Also, the users could run applications by having a local bin link and path
setting.

I was just playing with some ideas and wanted to investigate them.

 No, not really.  There's something called chroot, but it wont do what
 you
 want.  Think about it:  If they cant leave their home dir, how would
 they run
 things in /usr/bin ?

  For example, is there a way to prevent the users from leaving their

 Please clarify what you mean by leave?  Do you not want them to be able

 the minimum is quite big: 115MB (i also added rxvt)

 far from 10MB for sure.

I have made a clear partition, /dev/hde6, on my existing Mandrake-Linux 7.2

Now I looked on there and did not see the auto_inst.cfg, but do think that it

[Cooker] 8.0 Beta and Oracle9i

2001-03-19 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hello All,

I just wanted to let you all know that I have very large problems trying to get
the Oracle9i, which I downloaded from Oracle and is about 1.4Gig in size, to
install. 

I was never able to do it because Jave would complain about threads and crash
out.

Finally I had to back my distribution down to Linux 7.2 and everything seems to
be much better.

Also, could some one please tell me how to change the permissions of a group
and user that I created for Oracle called "oinstall" (group) and "oracle"
(user) such that they have root permissions and are able to make changes to the
/etc directory?

Oracle needs this account only for install purposes, but also needs it to have
root level permissions.

Cheers,
Lonnie

[Cooker] qt 2 and unixODBC

2001-03-12 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hello All,

I am trying to compile up a version of the unixODBC gui manager, but am having
much problems.

It seems that it is not finding the qt 2 libraries. I have talked to the
developer and he says that we need to have qt2.2 or greater.  I know that 2.2.4
is installed by the libqt2 rpm, but the configurer does not seem to find it.

I alsohave had no luck in taking out the default installed qt libraries so that
I could install the latest version 2.3 from trolltech.no.

When I forced the removal of the qt libraries it messed up my system and now I
have to do a fresh install of Mandrake to get everything back to normal.

I simply wanted to be able to develop applications with the latest version of
the qt libraries, and in particular the unixODBC gui package so that I can talk
to my PostgreSQL 7.0.x datbase server.

[Cooker] VNC modifications different in 8.0?

2001-03-08 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hello All,

I have a few simple questions for you, and I am working from root.

1.) When I try to make a global change to the PATH statement in the rc.local
file and export it, the new global path has not changed. Do the security levels
affect this? Where do I make a change to the PATH statement so that it is
affected for ALL users?

2.) With the old Mandrake, I would simply put the VNC files into the
/usr/local/bin directory and modify the global PATH to reflect this.

the files moved are: Xvnc, vncviewer, vncserver, vncconnect, vncpasswd

The purpose is explained below and the RPM version is generally removed from
the system.

The general goal is to allow the Xvnc to be started by the inetd.conf file so
that when any number of users connect to the desired port then they can login
to the graphical screen of KDM, for example. This allows any user to be able to
concurrently use XServer and KDE from any vncviewer running on any platform.

3.) We would generally append the attached files to the specified config file.
For example: append the "services.append" to /ect/services file

4.) Then simply restart the system and everything should be working just fine.
then just start up the "vncviewer " and give it an address
"my.local.adder:port" where port is from the "services" file.

Also, could someone please tell me how to restart the inetd daemon without
having to re-boot?

These are some simple problems that I am having to get VNC installed properly
on 8.0.

 One (tiny) question.  When you rebooted and the harddisks came by in the

 My guess here is that the harddisk suddenly moved to hda7 and you should
 boot using:
 linux root=/dev/hda7 ide0=noautotune ide1=noautotune ide2=noautotune
 ide3=noautotune
 
 Then, modify fstab and lilo.conf/grub to point to hda instead of hde.
 
 I submitted this bug already.

Hello Guillaume,

I am new to this mailing list and was not sure where to look to see about the
bugs that I had already posted.

Namely that the installer, hang-up just after it detects and desplays that it
found my drives. From this point on the installer will not let me do anything
as the system is frozen.

My Mandrake 7.1 seems to run fine, but I am really needing, and wanting to use
the new features of 7.2 on my system.

Until I have a version of the Beta, or release 7.2 that I can actually get
installed, I cannot preceed any further to check for bugs because I simply
cannot get the installer to continue.

With this in mind, I did not know what else to do?

[Cooker] Mandrake Install Freezes

Hello All,

I have sent this message a few days ago, but was not sure if I had been
subscribed to the list at that time. So being that I am new to this list, I am
hoping that someone can assist me with this new version

My system is:

Pentium III 500 Mhz with 128Meg ram,
Ultra 66 disk controller, Quantum KX27.3 Gig drive
Also a small WDC AC11200L IDE drive as extra swap partition

3dfx VooDoo 3 Video card
and ethernet connection

Initially, I was able to easily install the Mandrake 7.1 without any problems
using the same procedure just by booting the "network.img" disk that I made
with "dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0"

For the 7.2Beta, the network.img disk boots and I select "enter" to continue.
Then it detects my drives, by displaying the hda,hde and cdroms, and then
freezes up.

I have to then do a "hard-boot" to re-boot my system back into the old Mandrake
7.1 version.

This is strange because my Mandrake 7.1 installed without any problems and I do
not know what could becausing the problems.

Does anybody have some suggestions, or is this being addressed by the Mandrake
developers?

[Cooker] Bug Report

2000-09-08 Thread Lonnie Cumberland

Hello,

I have just downloaded the Mandrake 7.2beta "network.img" and put it on a disk
so that I can install the net Beta version but ran into problems on the boot up
of the disk.

My system is:

Pentium III 500 Mhz with 128Meg ram,
Ultra 66 disk controller, Quantum KX27.3 Gig drive
Also a small WDC AC11200L IDE drive as extra swap partition

3dfx VooDoo 3 Video card
and ethernet connection

Initially, I was able to easily install the Mandrake 7.1 without any problems
using the same procedure just by booting the "network.img" disk that I made
with "dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0"

For the 7.2Beta, the network.img disk boots and I select "enter" to continue.
Then it detects my drives, which it seems to do, and then freezes up.

I have to then do a "hard-boot" to re-boot my system back into the old Mandrake
7.1 version.

could someone please send me a message when this has been resolved as I will
continue with the testing of this version after that?

Best REgards,
Lonnie Cumberland
