I'm a little unclear as to why this is necessary, I must admit. Based on some quick little tests I just performed, mkisofs is capable of generating ISO/RockRidge images which contain symbolic links, hard links, block devices, character devices, FIFOs, and Unix sockets. (Far as I can tell, that's everything.) Perhaps cddump doesn't do this because it generates Joliet images by default? Ah well. At least it works. Richard

Since Helvetica-Bold should be a "built-in" font with ghostscript, I suspect your (a) missing the font or font metrics for some reason, (b) your /etc/gs.Fontmap is somehow messed up, or (c) your PostScript is badly formed.

I have a small home network. I'm in the process of configuring one box as a primary server. I have qmail installed and, I believe, fully operational on this box, including pop3. I can send and receive email from a local login on the server through pine. On a second box, my primary client, I can grab mail from my server via pop3 on kmail. I can't, however, send. Do I need to load an MTA on the client box in order to transfer outgoing mail to the server, or do I have to configure the server to accept mail via an SMTP client?

You can only back up one directory (or directory tree) at a time. Furthermore, everything you back up must be on the same filesystem.

I had to install RH6.2 on a machine at work (for testing our product) and it didn't ask, it simply overwrote the mbr. Then I tried grub. Get it from www.gnu.org, download the grub-0.5.96-1-i386.ext2fs file. Then copy it to a floppy using dd or rawrite and reboot. Grub is a piece of cake to get working. It boots both Linux and Win2k out-of-the-box without any trouble. I had never used grub before, but it only took about a minute before I had both systems booting cleanly. The kernel is on the hd _above_ the 1024 cylinder too. You can configure grub as you are booting (unlike lilo which requires you to boot a system first) and then set /boot/grub/menu.lst to however suits you. (just note that grub uses zero-based indexing, so /dev/hda3 is (hd0,2) to grub, you'll understand when you look at the menu.lst file or boot the sample one) I will never use lilo again, grub is just too cool! -D

That's not true. In fact the stuff in /etc/rc.boot will be run very, very early in the boot process, and you can't count on things like NFS or NIS working yet.

Right now there's so many different versions and perl packages (dependencies and conflicts) that i can't make heads or tails of it. It's to the point that right now when i update sid, i just do an update by hand in capt of everything that *doesn't* involve perl, since everything on my system appears to be working at the moment, and i'd like it to stay that way. However, it is annoying that i can't just do a regular 'apt-get' to solve my updates, since it always wants to do the perl stuff... I see this is supposed to be fixed in unstable...but my packages appear to be having some conflicts...any suggestions? dave

Re: Virtual Desktop
Wayne: If, at the color depth you're using, the first resolution in the list is 800x600, but another one is 1024x768, it'll run XWindows in 800x600 with a virtual screen of 1024x768. The biggest resolution in the list becomes the virtual screen size, and the first is default actual size. I'd just do it by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config -- the lines are near the bottom, under the "Screen" sections.

Re: APIC error
Yep, sure enough, you guessed it. It is a bit of a strange problem. Today i haven't gotten any of the APIC error messages at all. Just shows how unstable the board is i guess.

make a raid-1 with 2 disks
Hello. I've stucked with this scenario. I've read the howtos and the documentation 10-15 times, but it did not help :( All i wanna do (is have some fun), to create a mirror disk system (raid1), so, if one of the disks fail, the other can easily (and _automatically_) boot up. the config is: two PIII 800, 512 megabytes of memory, abit vp6 board, and 2 40 Gb quantum disks (unfortunatelly, this is not my machine:)) I did the following steps (as described in the root+boot+raid howto): created partitions: hda1: 15 Mb for boot (partition type linux native) hda2: 128 Mb for swap (swap) hda3: the remaining space (linux native) hdc is just the same. installed a fresh system on hda3. i got the kernel (2.2.18), and the raid patch for 2.2.18. after some pretty compiling (raid-1 is in the kernel), i rebooted the host. created the /etc/raidtab file: raiddev/dev/md0 raid-level1 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 32 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock1 device /dev/hdc3 raid-disk 0 device/dev/hda3 failed-disk 1 modified the partition type for hdc3 to linux raid autodetect (`fd' in fdisk) i typed to command line: mkraid /dev/md0 mke2fs /dev/md0 mount /dev/md0 /mnt ok, i succesfully created a filesys on /dev/md0. now, i copied all of my files (except /proc and /mnt) to the newly mounted location to /mnt. unmounted the devices, then umounted /boot also, and did a dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc blocks=512 count=1 dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdc1 (to copy the /boot partition to hdc1, so, the system could boot from hdc) ok then. Now what? the doc says, reboot. but if i reboot, nothing happens. thanks for any help, Daniel

It's ok that you don't believe me, but I hacked around the script a little bit and was able to get it to run by removing all the comments at the beginning of the script and few extra things that didn't need to be in there. Now the script runs fine. BTW, yes, the script did produce the desired results with -w option, and I didn't believe it, but the -w did make a difference to start with.

Re: Making a Backup to a CD-RW
I wrote a set of Python scripts that have been working pretty well for me. Input is a list of directories for each cdr and exclusions specified as regular expressions in config files. Output is a bunch of tarred and gzipped archives. The script then moves the archives to one or more cdrs via mkisofs and cdrecord. You have to figure out which directory archives fit best on each disc, but it should be easy to adapt to your environment. It's a work in progress, but it's how I do all my cdr backups.

I read through the changelist over on alsa-project.org and noticed that one of the changes was to 'support the latest kernels.' I suspect you should use the alsa-source from sid since it's in the .5 range, whereas woody is still a .4 release. Luckily, I found a soundcard in another computer that's directly supported by the kernel source, so I didn't have to worry about alsa with this computer.

Re: can't exec some CGI scripts
I can't speak off the top of my head to the exec problem you're having; the -w problem is clear. -w turns on warnings in perl, which are essentially non-fatal errors regarding programming style and structure. The "Name %s used only once" warning tells you that the given variable appears to be either only read or only written to in the script, but not both, so you may have made a typo. The "Use of uninitialized value" warning tells you that you've tried to read a variable or array element that is undefined when you try to read it; again, it signifies the possibility that your script is trying to read a variable that has no value. If your script works passably otherwise, you can *technically* just remove the -w from the shebang line and you should be fine. However, the Right Way (tm) is to fix the problems and leave -w in.

Reinstalling unstable broke cookies
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dumb subject, but I couldn't come up with anything better. The problem is: I reinstalled Linux a few days ago; the only big change that I made was that I replaced Gnome with KDE. Before, I had a CGI script written in Perl that would set a session cookie and another one that would read it. They both worked flawlessly. But now, after reinstalling unstable, I can still set the cookie, but I can't retrieve it. After running the CGI, Konqueror's cookie manager shows me two cookies in the 127.0.0.1 group: Both are named 'auth' - the name I gave to the cookie. Neither one has a target domain specified and both are listed as set by host 127.0.0.1. They do have the value that I set them to. The target path of the first one is '/%7Ejuergen/ldap/auth.cgi', the path of the second one is '/~juergen/ldap/auth.cgi'. So they seem to be there, but the script that is supposed th\o retrieve the cookie just gets an empty string. My question would be: Can anyone please tell me what could have caused this? Or failing that, could anyone please tell me what the proper place to ask this question is?

Why did all my X11 fonts suddenly double in size?
I used to be using the fonts package that came with the XFree86 4 binary distribution, but after upgrading to the most recent XFree86 package in sid (4.0.2-4), X refused to start, on account of not having the "fixed" font. I checked it out, and the font was installed! I've never had that error before either, but X was refusing to start, so I decided to humour it and install the Debian xfonts packages instead. To my chagrin, as soon as I entered X, I noticed that every font was way too big! They were all at least twice as big. I'm trying to figure out whether this is an mkfontdir problem (which got changed recently when it was removed from the xbase-clients package), or something in the X11 settings. I'm not sure, since I don't know enough about X11 fonts; I've always kinda taken them for granted. They've always just BEEN there, you know? :) Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. -- Chris
