[expert] Cable modem
Hi folks ! A friend of mine would use linux and he has cable modem connection with static IP. My question is : if I set up the NIC and it comes up at boot time, is the connection established then ? (that's the default nature of this under the M$ product) If the answer is yes I think I should immediatelly set a packet filtering firewall up for him.

Now I got my sound card working I thought I'd use it to listen to my fav CD while working. Fine - music to my ears, until I popped a data CD into the CDrw to get a file - as soon as supermount mounted the Cdrw, my music died. The CD player kept on counting seconds, just no sound. Anyway, I fiddled with ejecting the CD and putting it back in, shutting down and restarting the CD player (the standard KDE one) and all I managed to do was lock up the Cd player so I had to use XKill to zap it good. Fine, I thought, lets use the M$ solution to get my sound back - logout - shutdown - reboot... Well, it didn't like that - timeout errors trying to unmount the CDrom (hdc) and the system stopped there - could not shut down! Eventually had to use the master reset switch (the off button!) Seems to do the same with or without supermount. Any ideas??? Just doubled checked my machine. Works fine. Btw, I just did an install on another box. Had a CD on ide1 as primary and a CDRW on the same cable as secondary. After installing Mandrake-Linux and during the check out procedures I see that in KDE two cd-Rom icons, Cd-rom and Cd-Rom2. Clicking on the cd-rom icon brings up the data window and will also play cd-music. Clicking on the Cd-Rom2 gets a blank window or an error message window that the data can't be displayed. A look in /dev shows that the cd-Rom is correctly linked, @cdrom-hdc. There is also a cdrom1, linked , @cdrom1-/dev/hdd. The @cdrom2-hdd is also linked to hdd. Anyway to get the cd-rom2 icon the properly open and read and display the second cd-rom, which is the CDRW we had to edit the link in /dev/@cdrom2-hdd to @cdrom2-scd0. Now that it is correctly linked all is working fine. You have, I'm guessing that both cd's are on the same cable, set the dip switches to the correct master or slave settings?? 2) LICQ doesn't like me using the shift key on a long line - invariably garbles the text I've already typed.

Re: [expert] How much superuser percentage to reserve??
It is a safety margin for the super user. If a process or user fills up the disk drive to capacity, the superuser has a small amount of disk space reserved for use. This disk space allows the superuser room to correct scripts (or generate new ones) to help clean up the hard drive or fix a runaway application. Without this space available, the system could not even let the super user in if any temporary files were created during the login process.

Re: [expert] Multiple Kernels under LILO
Sure, I'd even recommend it if you frequently recompile/upgrade your kernel. Kernels you should always keep on your box (together with their modules, if any, of course) are: a) The original kernel that shipped with the distro. This one is fully modular and _should_ work in any circumstances. Therefore it is the fallback-kernel for if anything goes wrong with one of the other kernels. b) The previously recompiled and branded "stable" kernel. This one is there just in case the test-kernel screws up, so you have a fallback kernel for the latest kernelversion, in case the default shipped kernel isn't the latest version anymore. c) The test-kernel. This is the freshly recompiled kernel you just installed, but still don't trust enough to brand it "stable". You can set this one up as default kernel, because probably this one will have features you'd like to test that the "stable" kernel hasn't (at least, that's what usually happens over here). Note: when I refer to "test" and "stable", I don't mean "development" and "stable" (like in 2.3-series vs 2.2-series), but just the "tested and approved" kernel you recompiled vs the "untested" kernel.

Re: [expert] Alt-F7 = crash!
I have run into this problem but only after having done a suspend previously since the last boot. It happens quite consistently if I suspend twice between boots.

Also, in spite of civilme's experience, as long as I stay away from suspending, I do ctnl-alt-F2 / do stuff / alt-F7 all the time without problems. I would stay away from ctnl-alt-F1, though.

Re: [expert] Multiple Kernels under LILO
It's not a problem. After you compile your kernel, copy arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-new-version (of course, use the correct version number) and also copy System.map to /boot/System.map-new-version. You'll want to re-link /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/System.map to the new files, and add a new "image" section to /etc/lilo.conf like so: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map prompt timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda1 read-only ### The new section follows ### image=/boot/vmlinuz-old-kernel label=old root=/dev/hda1 read-only This'll boot the new by default, but if it doesn't work, you can always boot "old." Be sure to run /sbin/lilo after editing the file. -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [expert] Can't Break X Autostart
Ok, that verifies that removing that last line of /etc/inittab was a kludge fix, and we still haven't figured out the *real* question; namely, *why* are you at run-level 5 when you are asking for run-level 3? Somebody must be throwing you into run-level 5, but who? Why? What did you do to deserve this? A possible way to find out is to do a ps alwf /root/ps-output when you go to run-level 5; eg, put this: :5:respawn:ps alwf /root/ps-output in your /etc/inittab. Then we can at least see what's going on when this happens. Also, your /var/log/messages might show something about switching to run-level 5. Perhaps it will give a clue to who is doing it?

Took me 2 working days to manually correct pagebreaks, footnotes, image-descriptions, Pagenumbers in toc, etc. The biggest document I ever did in Word 97 was some 45, 50 pages, with photos, tables, footnotes, etc... it was very unstable -- it would choke halfway through printing (and no, it wasn't it the printer's fault -- it happened on different machines with different printers) - okay, fine, so we print from where the last print job stopped, right? Wrong -- now all the page numbers were incorrect (it had tremendous difficulty with pagination, it seemed). It was infuriating.
