[expert] Installing 9.0 on DawiControl DC100 (HPT-370) "RAID" drives?
Hello! A friend of mine is trying to install 9.0 on a "RAID" 0 array of two hard disks connected to DawiControl DC100 (HPT-370 chipset) controller. Since he's having problems and since he's a newbie and since I can't just walk over ;), I'd like to know if it's possible to install 9.0 on drives which are connected to a DC100. If 9.0 doesn't work - how about 9.1?

But if you're looking for the latest Mandrake release (8.2), check out the 8.2 directory on the mirrors. It also has a SRPMS directory containing kernel-2.4.18.6mkd.

»Franki« sagte am 2002-02-22 um 16:36:59 +0800 : > and I'd have to say that perl and php don't really differ that much in > server load or speed. Well, that's only true if you compare cgi-bin Perl (which most of the hosters only offer) to cgi-bin PHP (which very few hosters offer). If you compare the two most prevalent options (cgi-bin Perl vs. mod_php), cgi-bin Perl greatly looses. The reason is quite simple, because with cgi-bin Perl, the Perl interpreter has to be loaded every time. Not so with mod_php. Now, if you're so lucky to have mod_perl, then you're right. In this case the server load of Perl and PHP is comparable. > 4 Easier to organise huge projects then PHP.. take a look at the code for Why is that? > 6 Age, perl has been around for ages, is very stable and has access to more > system stuff then php, see CPAN above :-).

And while I also very much love PHP (and despise Perl for web development), it's also very easy to switch the DB backend in Perl, thanks to the nice DBI package.

Well, I don't use rename, so I'd suggest to have a look at my example with the regexp again.

mmv can do that. However, I more often end up hacking together a small
regexp, which I then use kinda like this:
files:
a001.png
a231.png
ija231.bmp
Now I'd want to put a _ between the letters and the numbers and also
want to rename them all to .gif
for f in * ; do
new_name=$(echo $f | perl -p -e 's|(\w+?)(\d+)\..*|$1_$2.gif|')
# Or maybe:
# new_name=$(echo $f | perl -p -e 's|([:alpha:]+)(\d+)\..*|$1_$2.gif|')
echo $new_name
done
regexp's are cool ;)

Well, it's rather easy if you can live with a mozilla being installed in, let's say, ~/mozilla. If that's okay, download a .tar.gz (or even just the installer) from the mozilla site and install it.

Also the G450 and Radeon 7200 cost the same: 114 ¤ (~ USD 102). The Radeon has a TV-Out while the G450 has 2xVGA. But I don't think that I'll neither need TV-Out nor 2xVGA (hmm, I'd rather need/want 2xVGA than TV-Out).

[expert] Which graphics card to get?
Hi! I want to get myself a new graphics card but am uncertain about which one I should get. I think it'll either be a Matrox Millennium G450 DH/G550 or a ATI Radeon 7200. I want to have a high (100Hz@1152x864) refresh rate, good video playback speed (in MPlayer/xine) and good support (drivers). The last reason is why I do not want nvidia. Also the company should be pro-OS. Ah, the drivers should not only be available for Linux, but maybe also for FreeBSD. Not needed is fast games 3D acceleration, because I do not play. Which card would you guys suggest?

Can't speak for MandrakeSoft, but it's generally their policy to *not* release new packages just because a software has had a version update. If there's a security issue with a package, Vincent will surely release an update. But other than that: Nope, you're on your own. However, using a Cooker RPM on 8.1 will most likely *not* work, I suppose. If you want RPMs, you can either recompile yourself, or try to use the official Mozilla.org RPMs for RedHat.

Well, it's rather easy if you can live with a mozilla being installed in, let's say, ~/mozilla. If that's okay, download a .tar.gz (or even just the installer) from the mozilla site and install it. Just remember that it needs to be in your $PATH before /usr/bin! To do this, I've made myself a ~/bin dir and put ~/bin in my PATH. Now, ~/bin/mozilla is a link to ~/mozilla/mozilla.

JohnX, please don't listen, since you already know, but anyone else: /tmp /dest none bind 0 0 This did do the trick. ie. using »none« as the fstype and »bind« as (one of) the options.

[expert] bind mount: Howto add to fstab?
Hi! Since kernel 2.4.0 it is possible to mount local directories onto another local dir by entering: mount --bind /tmp /dest But, how would I add such a thing to the /etc/fstab? Using »bind« as the filesystem doesn't work: /tmp /dest binddefaults 0 0 Trying to mount /tmp gives such an error message: mount: fs type bind not supported by kernel So, how would I do this?

In conclusion - if it's unknown what version of tar is available, I'd say the best option is to use --use=bzip2 if .bz2'd tar files are to be created/extracted from.

Hm, I've never used sftp myself, so I don't know how to use it. However, scp is used by itself meaning you'll need to type in your password just for scp (if you set a password, of course).

And IMO it's better to have tar handle the bzip2 by itself Well, do: a) Read the man page b) Read the info page c) Read the output of tar --help d) One of the following: d1) tar cfvj foo.tar.bz2 foo/ d1a) Note: j is a "new" option.

Yes, it will create some files, but if you're "using" a Windows "server" you're in way greater danger, as Nimda changes your C:\ drive to be publically writable. It can't do so with Samba.
