Re: compilation problems
I guess it would be the binutils package... Search for the package when you run base-config, to find out.

This package pulls in the basicstuff needed for compiling C and C++ programs.

I'd say it's missing packages.

Optimizing X
Hi, Whenever I start gnome (by typing gdm on the command line) it takes a log of time to start up. I understand that that it reads the configuration file and then performs various test based on the given configuration. I have noticed (from the log) that the number of tests it performs for the monitor and the display is quite large. For example, it checks the given hsync and vert. sync and outputs "Out of range" messages for quite a number of values in the given range. It finally comes up with a list of permitted clock frequencies for the given sceeen resolutions. I feel that i can perform some optimization here. The question is how do I go about it. Also I must take care of debconf related issues.. ( i can't make changes with the comments ###BEGIN ###END. So how do I go about the task? Regards, Satish. Missed your favourite TV serial last night?

Comments on security, Re: recover lost root password
Hi, I am new user of Debian Gnu/Linux. I have successfully setup and started using the system (my understanding and knowledge grows day by day). To my current understanding security seems to be a major drawback of gnu/linux systems.(How else can you explain such gaping holes?). I am also inherently suspicious of anything that goes by "free" (Please try to convince me otherwise). As I see it an adminstrator has his task cut out for him to ensure the security and confidentiality of the organization. (Gnu/Linux doesn't make things easy in this crucial aspect!). Is there a gnu/linux community concerned with these issues?

About user nobody
Hi, I have installed Woody 3.0 r0 on my desktop system. At times I notice a process with high disk activity running under user name "nobody". How can I figure out which program is responsible for this and what exactly is it upto? The user doesn't appear in the linuxconf interface. Regards, Satish.

Using PPP for Dial out connection to ISP
Hi, I am having problems configuring my ISP connection with ppp. After following the directions (from the howto's and faq's) I am still unable to get it functioning. I tried with PAP as well as CHAP. An error is returned from the [chat] section as Incorrect Input/Output parameters : I/O Error. Also, how do I get it to read my modem correctly? How do I rectify the error. Else, is there a more detailed FAQ / help for the same? Regards, Satish. Catch all the cricket action. Download Yahoo! Score tracker
