From what I understand, one fix is to insure that the /boot partition lies completly in the first 1024 physical cylinders. You can also start fdisk giving it parameters to force the cylinder re-mapping to agree with the bios. (Maybe the same for LILO?)

Re: NFS and /etc/exports
I think that you are better off doing a: /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs reload instead of kill -HUPing the daemons individually. It would be equivalent, but I believe using the script in /etc/init.d is more desireable. -Ossama __ Ossama Othman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- PGP Keys --- Public: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_PUBLIC.asc REVOKED: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_REVOKED.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: directory tree and .deb's

My objective is to calculate the disk storage requirement for all (or a preselected subset of) packages by destination directory. Where can I find this information without actually installing the package. Hi, You can not get this information directly from the Packages file. You can look at the .deb file with zless and find a listing similar to an ls -l listing of all files and directories the packages installs. Calculating the disk storage requirement for a set of packages by this method would be quite tedious. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

Re: NFS and /etc/exports
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Here's the 'FM' for you (excerpted from the rpc.mountd man page): SIGNALS When receiving a SIGHUP, mountd will re-read the exports file. Note that to make export changes take effect, you have to send nfsd a SIGHUP as well. Ie. you should run 'killall -HUP rpc.mountd nfsd'.

low throughput on PPP link
Currently we are building two Debian boxes(2.0.30) running as routers with a PPP link in between. Things are mostly going fine except the link throughput. 56kbps is the best it gets while we are expecting over 100kbps since we are using the 16550A UART serial cards. Here's the details: == serial port settings = /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte Flags: spd_vhi skip_test session_lockout == ppp link settings pppd persist passive proxyarp /dev/ttyS0 57600 (local) pppd persist passive defaultroute /dev/ttyS0 57600 (remote) The reason why we didn't set the speed up to 115200 in pppd is that it will bring the link down! (while using Slackware doesn't have this situation) We were acknowledged that a combination of setserial -b /dev/ttyS0 spd_vhiand pppd persist passive proxyarp /dev/ttyS0 38400 will achieve the full speed of 115200, yet the testing result we have is just slower that using 57600. Not any clue in Robert Hart's Linux PPP HOWTO, nor in The Linux Serial HOWTO by Greg Hankins. Any pointer? Thanks in advance.

Re: WindowMaker | Menu? - Xterms
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Cool! Thanks alot! Can you tell me where is the documentation for this .Xresources file? man .xresources, man -k xresources etc don't have anything. :( Timothy Three solutions: 1) decide that the default xterm isn't so ugly after all. 2) Modify Xresources to make the xterm that appears with xterm be what you want; putting the following into ~/.Xresources (and either restarting X or running xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources) will do that: xterm*background: black xterm*foreground: white xterm*cursorColor: green (You can put these lines into /etc/X11/Xresources to affect every account on your machine) The real documentation? It's in the Xlib documentation published by the X consortium. Trust me, you don't want that. The basic format of the file is as in the lines above - my ~/.Xresources file looks like this: *scrollBar: true ! make everything have a scrollbar xterm.vt100*translations: #override \ KeyBackSpace: string(\177) \n\ KeyDelete: string(0x1b) string([3~) \n xterm*background: bisque3 xterm*foreground: black netscape*blinkingEnabled: False DctrlIcon*geometry: +1092+670 pmon*geometry: +1052+670 Blank lines are ignored - exclamation points begin comments. A particular application obeys resources if they begin with * or with the application's executable name or with the application's class name (an application's Class name can be found with 'xlsclients -l'). What each resource does is application specific. The xterm man page has several good examples of xresource lines. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
