If really nothing else works, get yourself 2 small home dirs and let them share a big "data" subdir. This is basically what I did to share files between MDK and Caldera. Too many differences to actually share home, but made a big partition that both mounted as /home/carver/share.

Re: [expert] compiling pci kernel modules - whats changed
apologies for the length, i normally fairly succinct ;-)
ordered 7.2 deluxe from uk source, it'll prob arrive before i
finish pulling the iso pair, now the updates
re kde upgrading
is it a problem from kde xx on 7.1 to kde 2 on 7.1
but not kde xx to kde 2 within a 7.2 setup
MAJOR (to me at least) BUG
somewhere "cd ~" seems to be executed
a) startx(KDE) in somedir
b) open xemacs
c) go to open a file
the file dialog has you in user $HOME
how do i stop this please?
why does it happen now
similar when open an xterm
minor bugs
1. printer install - after completing print test page screen, you get
another installing file picture with no text
2. no way to choose which of 2 physically fitted video cards ?
builtin agp on a plugin cpu card or a voodoo3 pci ?
3. similar problem, with via-rhine and 3c509 eth, via-rhine seems but fails
insmod
4. i install telnet, its a lan for 2 boxes at work, now i get
telnet server messages relating to localhost splashing on the screen
eg...
order 7.2 delux from uk source, re kde upgrdaemon.critmon[1428]: failure
for servers telnet 973606833 localhostat least) BUG
daemon.infomon[1428]: not aler6ing for failure of servers/telnet 9
5. pci kernel modules for arcom adc dig i/o cards, working ok
under 7.1 with 2.2.15
now it starts to get confusing..
tried looking at source code
what different for these two lines
a) 2.2.15 single + SMP
while ( ( PCI_Device = pci_find_device( VendorID, DeviceID, PCI_Device) ) )
{
.
}
compiles and functioning on a 7.1 box, only change prior to that 2.2.10 area
- a fair while back 1999 area??
b) 7.2 RC1 2.2.17
complies and hangs within this while statement
removed extra brackets, works properly.. reads the adc valves .. grand
all my installs are expert + develop + package select, i usually kill off emacs,
gnome, other desktops, palm pilot and most games, keep most of rest
thought i'll do another install, try hack-kernel..
tried compiling
screenfuls of complaints of syntax in the kernel headers
thought maybe you can't have hack-kernel and std mdk kernel at same time
off we go again
leave out hack-kernel, an hour passes.
same problem, ideas please
rpm -qa|grep devel|wc -l -43 for my 7.1
-168 for 7.2 -- seems a bit high almost...

RE: [expert] Missing RPM Database
Thanks for the suggestion - it is the only one I have had! I hope you don't mind me copying my reply to the list as well - it may generate some offers of /var/lib/rpm/ 's. I think the mandrake list was the wrong one to post - but it does seem to be a serious vulnerability. A friend has had the same thing happen on a RedHat system, and ended up re-installing. The latest Linux Journal notes the problem, and names /var/lib/rpm/ as an essential backup , but it would be better if the rpm database was more secure or front-ends made their own backups before any attempted change. Meanwhile, I am thinking about reinstalling before I hit real problems - but it may be Debian instead!

I have looked at Maximum RPM, and I cannot understand how rpm --initdb or rpm --rebuilddb can help unless rpm has access to the original rpm files. Anyway, if I try rpm --initdb or rpm --rebuilddb or rpm -anything I always get the same message: "failed to open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm: No such file or directory" before rpm jacks out. So I can't install, upgrade or anything. Do I really have to start from scratch again? If so, RPM and friends need a government health warning.

[expert] Adding a disk, insmod placement, moving /var
I know there is a thread related to this, I just want to make sure I get it right! I am running Mandrake 7.1 on an IDE drive. I need some space and a backup so I am adding the following: AHA-2940UW SCSI Seagate 4/8 DAT SCSI Seagate 2.1GB Barracuda. My data that is using space is on /var, currently I have / as one drive/partition. I would like to end up with the new drive being /var for space sake. My plan is thus: 1) Install hardware. 2) Boot up. 3) Kill anything using /var 3) insmod the aic7xxx.o 4) tar czpf /vardata.tar.gz /var 5) mv /var /oldvar 6) Run diskdrake, mount the drive, hopefully it takes care of fstab yes? 7) tar xzpf /vardata.tar.gz /var 8) if everything goes well whack /oldvar 9) Enjoy more space, and whoa, backups. Does this make sense? Will I get an exact duplicate (Links, permissions, etc.) of /var this way? My questions are as follows. 1) I know I need to use the command: insmod aic7xxx.o upon bootup to see the card and the devices attached. Where is the 'correct' place to put this command so that if the server reboots I don't have to be there to type it in. 2) Is using diskdrake safe for this? Will diskdrake auto update my fstab accordingly? So I'm *assuming* that I should end up with the additional line to my fstab: /dev/sda1 /var ext2 defaults 1 1 3) When all is said and done my tape drive will be /dev/st0 right?
