Ok, I've got the contents of the 8.1 cds dumped onto my ftp server
(ftp://10.1.1.3/mandrake/8.1/Mandrake/RPMS)
I've got Mandrake/RPMS{2,3}/* symlinked to Mandrake/RPMS/. so they're all in
one directory.
I guess I'm a bit confused as what to do with the hdlist references as I've
tried doing a 'urpmi.addmedia 8.1-1
ftp://10.1.1.3/mandrake/8.1/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist1.cz'
That seems to have done it, but am I supposed to do the same with
hdlist{2,3}.cz?
This is with the default urpmi RPM installed. It'd sure be nice to have
some docs in /usr/share/doc/ though (know what I'm saying?)
Thanks for the reply,

[expert] zsh scripting help
I need a little help with something. I'm not used to writing scripts in zsh, but I'm modifying a lengthy script already written in zsh and am stuck with something. In bash and perl, I don't get this problem. I'm doing this: temp=`mktemp /tmp/filelistXX` for i in 7.1 7.2 8.0 ppc/8.0 8.1 ia64/8.1 1.0.1 snf7.2 SRPMS; do [[ -d $DEST/$i ]] && ls -1 $DEST/$i/*.rpm >>$temp done list=`cat $temp` rm -rf $temp for i in $list; do The problem is, the first instance of $i contains everything in $list. In bash, it takes the first file that ls returns. In perl, I would use chop($list); but there doesn't seem to be something equivalent for zsh that I can see quickly. Basically, I want every file listed in $temp to be read as a single instance in my for loop, but it's reading the *entire* file as the first instance, which is incorrect. Any ideas?

I can't shed any light, but I can perhaps cheer you up a bit by telling you that the same happens here. I was going to demo tuxracer (and Linux) to my kids.

[expert] Local mini-NNTP server
This seems like a pretty basic question, but I've spent several hours digging through some hideously complicated documentation and I have this awful feeling that I'm on completely the wrong track -- and I'm certainly no closer to solving my problem than I was when I started. I have a small number of newsgroups that I monitor using a Windows client on my network. It struck me that it ought to be easy (shouldn't it?) to have my Linux box grab the messages periodically from my ISP's server, then I should be able just to point my Windows box at the Linux box and read them from there. Anyone have a URL that might be something like "an idiot's guide how to configure a Linux box as a mini NNTP server?" I've been reading (and reading, and reading) more and more technical guff about innd, and I'm not any wiser than I was when I started -- except to have a nagging belief that it surely can't be this complicated. I mean, all I want is something along the lines of "every hour, go grab all the new postings in these groups from machine X, and then act as if you're a real NNTP server if a client tries to connect to you to read the postings". Innd doesn't appear in webmin on my system, and there doesn't seem to be anything in MCC about it (except that MCC reports innd as running, even though if I do a "ps -auxw | grep inn" I don't find it). I found an old document on the Web describing the bzillion innd configuration files, but they seem to have changed since the document was written, so simply following the document didn't do me any good.

[expert] PG-SQL (was Re: MySQL drive website)
But Ken, if you consider long term plan, I prefer suggest PostgreSQL to MySQL. Postgres is really powerfull RDBMS software and comparable with any commercial database software like Oracle or DB2. We have built application for customer handling system (for call center support), ISO-9001:2000 documentation on web, and integrated management information system (for managemet) using PHP4 and PostgreSQL and all run well. And here is a quote from PostgreSQL-HOWTO: "The world's most popular FREE Database which implements some of the ISO SQL, ANSI SQL/98, SQL/92 and ANSI SQL/89 RDBMS is PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is next generation Object relational database and is targeting on full compliance of SQL standards like ISO/ANSI SQL. PostgreSQL is the only free RDBMS in the world which supports Object databases and SQL. This document will tell you how-to install the database, how to set up the Web database, application database, front end GUIs and interface programs. It is strongly advised that you MUST write your database applications 100 % compliant to standards of ISO/ANSI SQL, ODBC, JDBC so that your application is portable across multiple databases like PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, Informix etc. PostgreSQL defeated Oracle 8 (and 8i), IBM DB2, MS SQL server, Sybase, Interbase and MySQL in standard benchmark tests in performance, speed, scalability and reliability!

Re: [expert] A strange thing happens to my network
Could you be a little more specific? What on your LAN seems to be going south? Are you suggesting that the Linux Server on the LAN is going south? Linux is not impervious to such things as hardware failure and misconfigurations, but other than that, I've not seen Linux need the kind of help you are describing. Windows boxen, however, are definitely in need of rebooting every so often (for 9x it's twice a day, and NT/2000 more like weekly or every couple weeks if you're lucky). Could you be referring to your Hub or Switch? That would be what I would think of when you refer to the LAN. Those things go bad as well and should be considered the problem, if those are what you are rebooting weekly.

Mostly they just waste bandwidth these days--most smurfable routers have been replaced so a ping at the network address no longer rings it like a bell. Older DDoS attacks would be both giant UDPs and ICMPs, but if someone has compromised a box or six running XP then attacks can take any form whatsoever, since XP has full rawsocket capability.

[expert] HP scanjet 4470c
Happy New Years everyone! I hope everyone had a good holiday. My parents did; they received an hp scanner for christmas. Since I converted their machine to Mandrake 8.1, I was told to make it work. Alas I've run into difficulty so I thought someone on the list might be able to help. Here's what I've done so far: 1) I took the vender and product ids I found by 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' and added 'options scanner vendor=num product=num' to modules.conf 2) Created device nodes by 'mknod /dev/usb/scanner0 c 180 48' and changed permissions to 666. 3)Edited sanes's config file hp.conf to '/dev/usb/scanner0 option connect-device' 4) Issued 'modprobe scanner' Up to this point everything seems to be fine; modprobe didn't complain. However, when I ran xsane, it started to scan for devices and reported none were found. Have I missed something? Thanks for your help! Randy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

NIS problems on MDK 8.0. The NIS server is found on boot by the client. It is bound OK. The /etc/ns***.conf (forgot the name) file was correct. If you do not use the +:: notation anymore, then maybe I have been using out of date HOWTO info to set it up. What should I do with the passwd file? I tried removing it as well but this just stopped anyone logging on including root. Had to use the rescue disk to put it back again. Does anyone have a recent HOWTO for mdk 8.0 for NIS? I have also seen mention about yppasswd, do I have to set this up or does the ypserv rpm take care of this? Thanks Dave OK...I have found the NIS document on http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cnis.html I have followed the instructions OK and re-booted both client and server. All relevant serviced bound OK. When I run the ypinit -m, I get RPC timeout messages for each of the files being generated for the ypserv. Anyway what is happening is that I after re-booting the client, I had two entries for each user in the KDE login. I removed the entry for one user 'david' from the passwd file. Restarted KDE and only one entry for user 'david' appeared. I logged in OK as 'david'. Now I try to change 'david' passwd. On client 'london' I type 'yppasswd' which prompts me to enter the NIS passwords. I do this OK. Then I log out and back in again and the original password is accepted, NOT the new one. So I log onto the server 'bristol' which is the NIS server running 'yppasswd' and 'ypserv' and this accepts the original passwd for user 'david'. But if I type 'yppasswd' again, this accepts only the 'new' password. Am I missing the point here!!! Also when I 'ssh' from 'london' to 'bristol' I get a message saying that the NIS DOMAIN is not bound as a single line message. Please anyone help.

Have you looked at /var/log/messages and other log files? Have you run 'top' to see what processes might be gobbling up resources? How about 'ps -ax' to see a snapshot of all processes?

As I said, the scanner stuff has "just worked" for me on several revs of Mandrake, so I have no idea what's supposed to be making these devices, or what could have screwed it up. When I reboot HardDrake says "Checking for new hardware", but then doesn't see anything. Is there a way to tell HardDrake that it doesn't know about the scanner, so that it will think it's new and do its thing again?

[expert] A strange thing happens to my network
Hi list, I've noticed over the last few days that my LAN seems to get stale after a day or so and needs to be restarted. Could this really be happening or is it just my imagination? the machine has been up for 16 days now with only one client connected via dhcp. I am sharing the internet dialup and at times it appears to go south for the client as well until the network is restarted. any thoughts...ideas...flames? -- daRcmaTTeR - If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!

Re: [expert] Nvidia issues
I get this too. Screen updates stop and the keyboard is dead, but curiously, the mouse pointer can still be moved around (the pointer shape does not change as it moves over icons and screen borders though). All other machine activity continues normally but the logs, including the XFree log give no clues. I have tried 1541 and 2314(?) with no luck. I have an ASUS P5A (1006) and have changed my BIOS settings as per the nVidia docs. I suppose I should try upgrading the BIOS sometime. It seems strange though that the mouse pointer can still be moved, while no other screen updates can occur. Ring any bells? Nick.

[expert] How can I shutdown a PC from telnet?
You can do some cron script, that will check some file existence. For example it could check if /var/dopowerdown exist. If no - do nothing. If yes - remove that file and do poweroff. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] NIS-Continued
Sorry for starting a new thread...but I am replying from work and the original emails are at home. NIS problems on MDK 8.0. The NIS server is found on boot by the client. It is bound OK. The /etc/ns***.conf (forgot the name) file was correct. If you do not use the +:: notation anymore, then maybe I have been using out of date HOWTO info to set it up. What should I do with the passwd file? I tried removing it as well but this just stopped anyone logging on including root. Had to use the rescue disk to put it back again. Does anyone have a recent HOWTO for mdk 8.0 for NIS? I have also seen mention about yppasswd, do I have to set this up or does the ypserv rpm take care of this?
