RE: [expert] Simple Network Firewall hardware check
well, SNF is based more on mdk7.2 then anything else, and it doesn't run X,, so yeah, it should work just fine with a 133 and 40 mb ram... I don't know how they have implimented Snort on SNF, if its using mysql, and you have a busy network, you could find that Snort is what slows the system down... I have 7.2 with X running on a P166 with 32 mb of ram, and its not the fastest thing around, but it works ok..

[expert] installing, sorry, but no answer at newbie
i have been using mandrake for a while now. even the ppc version on my imac. awesome. however, i can't get 8.0 installed on my laptop. i get the old 'can not uncompress second stage ram disk' error. i have found the following suggestions in various postings : - download a new iso file and burn a new cd ==> done that. doesn't help. - download the cdrom.img, dd it onto /dev/fd0 and boot from there. ==> done that. doesn't help. - make a boot floppy under windows and boot from there. ==> done that. doesn't help. - install from windows ==> that installs linux on my windows partition, doesn't it ? don't want that. have old files to work with on my linux partition. and other reasons. - i also tried the alternative cdrom%%%.img in the alternatives directory. to no avail. now, the next thing to try would maybe be to give certain options upon booting ? just which ? please, can any of the experts have mercy with me for posting an install question in the expert list and give me a hint ? 1000 thanks ingo -- Ingo P.

Re: [expert] non gui dailer
Oren, Your best bet may be to try a LUG in the area, as from what I understand, ISDN setup varies by location. A LUG site for Israel is here: http://www.iglu.org.il/IGLU/ And, the ppp HOWTO is here: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/index.html Depending on your ISP's setup, you can use pppd as described together with chat for terminal-based authentication, or using PAP/CHAP for those setups. pppd has a 'persist' option to cause it to redial when a connection is lost. Also, the ISDN faq is here (one of the few ISDN docs not in german..): http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/ -pete On 1 Aug 2001, Oren Gozlan wrote: > Hi, > Does anyone knows about non gui dailing script for isdn ? > > THNX > THNX > > > -- > - > Oren Gozlan > Mobixell Networks Inc. > p: +972 9 776 0121 > f: + 972 9 740 7373 > c: +972 54 536 047 > www.mobixell.com > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - > > > > > > > > > >
Re: [expert] Still having problems with Mandrake 8 and Thinkpad 760XD pointer.
If you haven't already, I suggest trying XFree86 3.3.6. I had to use that release for my Toshiba Tecra 8100 to work with its docking station. Also, you may want to cat /proc/interrupts to see if there is any IRQ sharing going on w/ the ps2 mouse interface that you can adjust. If you've tried both 3.3.6 and 4.0.3, to further isolate the problem, to see if it's the X server or something else, you may want to give the AccelX demo server a shot: http://www.xig.com/ -pete On Wed, 1 Aug 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > This is beginning to get annoying.

Re: [expert] LM8 - Using http proxy with MandrakeUpdate
Charles, Unfortunately MandrakeUpdate does use wget to do file transfers. Are there any similar tools that can get through that proxy? If so, a kludge would be to put one of them in place of wget on your system, and maybe write a shell script wrapper to call it with the right options. -pete On Wed, 1 Aug 2001, Fox wrote: > Can I force MandrakeUpdate to use an http proxy server to get its mirror > list?

As the other post mentioned, you need to be using ps ax (or ps aux) for
that. Since there is no guarantee lingering galeon-bin processes will be
using the most CPU, you will not necessarily see it in top.
A problem I've had with galeon is that occasionally the
.galeon/history.xml file (in your home directory) will become corrupted,
which keeps it from loading. I tracked this down a while back by running
strace galeon and seeing what files it was opening before crash & burning.
So, try rm .galeon/history.xml

Sounds more and more like the bookmarks.xml issue. galeon-bin would
definitely be stopped by a system shutdown. ;)

Insight tends to better than trial and error. :) If you want to make
sense of strace at your own leisure, try doing small things like echo "hi"
at the command-line under strace eg.,
strace echo "hi"
Along with a bunch of other stuff, you can see things like:
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)= 3
(opening up a shared library)
Result of 3 means the open succeeded and the process is reading from that
on descriptor 3, as opposed to:
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY)= -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
When it tried to open that file, there was an error ( -1 ENOENT)
Then, it writes to standard output (descriptor 1):
write(1, "hi\n", 3hi
)
The output is intermixed w/ standard error (which strace uses for
display), but this can be avoided (and you can get a copy of all the
system calls to look through) by doing:
strace echo hi 2> strace-output
Then, just open strace-output in an editor.
Also, there are manpages for all of those system calls in manual section
2. So, man 2 open will tell you what open() does. It's rather
C-programming oriented, but the DESCRIPTION and ERRORS sections should
give you the info you're after to see what a call is doing.
If you do this on galeon, and my guess is correct, you'll see something
bad happen shortly after reading history.xml ;)
