hi ! man chkconfig will help you

about the command itself, you could use bash to get the same result. about 4x faster 
...

set -- $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 2/dev/null); echo ${7//[^0-9.]/}

set cuts stdout from ifconfig into positional parameters, according to $IFS. the 
interesting parameter is $7 on my system (locales = FR). echo ${7//[^0-9.]/} shows 
only the ip part (cyphers+dots) from it.

 I wonder whether there is a way to check real disk activity and not

 Moreover, could someone confirm my guess about loadavg values? (1 minute, 5

1, 5 and 10 minutes

 A simple link to a page explainig those three values is enough (man top

bash you said, so use only bash.

array=($(your_command_to_create_the list_of_intergers))
echo ${array[0]}
this displays the 1rst integer from your list.

echo ${#array[*]} displays the number of integers
echo ${array[$((${#array[*]}-1))]} displays the last integer

maybe you'll have to set IFS. depends of the separator.

 command that I want to run.  However, I can't seem to get the thing to let 
 me do it.
 
 I've edited /etc/sudoers to allow group wheel to execute all command, and I 
 made sure that my regular user account is part of that group.  Then I 
 type something really simple like sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog.  It then 
 prompts me for a password.  No matter what password I put in (even when I 
 put in the root password), it tells me the password is wrong.
 
 So, what the heck password does sudo want from me? :-)

 I thought I had this licked because I was getting along well for a while but

 I am running Mandrake 8.2 with the Mandrake KDE 3.0.1 rpms installed (I am 
 VERY slowly downloading the KDE 3.0.2 rpms now...will take a week to finish).
 It is a known monstrous problem in KDE 3 that if you try to run the konsole 
 from the panel/kicker, it will freeze kicker and when you exit konsole, you 
 will get an error message about not being able to run konsole-noxft.  GAH!  
 
 I tried several things to destroy this nonsense, from changing the real 
 konsole-noxft to another name and then symlinking konsole-noxft to plain ole 
 konsole, editing the properties for the konsole icon on the panel so that it 
 runs konsole instead of konsole-noxft (but this only lasts until your 
 next login), and finally, when nothing worked, I flat-out deleted 
 konsole-noxft (because I NEVER want to run without xft damnit!) and that 
 worked...for a while.  I quite getting the error message and konsole started 
 just fine from kicker (you do not get any problem if you run konsole from the 
 kmenu (??).  Then, and suddenly, I lately found that I couldn't run konsole 
 from the kicker icon at all because it started complaining about not being 
 able to find konsole-noxft.  Duh, I deleted it and it was all perfectly 
 fine for about a month.  
 
 Has anyone come up with a permanent fix for this that does NOT involve the 
 very sad and repulsive suggestion from the KDE people of deleting the kicker 
 konsole icon and just putting a konsole icon on the desktop?  I will not do 
 this.  My desktop is clean and pristine and there will be no nonsensical 
 icons on it.  At the moment, I have replaced the konsole icon with one for 
 eterm but there is no antialiasing possible with this. 
 
 Anyone find a better fix than the KDE-suggested one?

hi tom,

if u want to burn a complete album, it's better to use normalize with -b option. this 
prevents to adjust excessively a quiet song.
xmms-diskwriter plugin converts mono mp3's to mono wav's which are not burnable. to 
use it, you have to ensure that all your mp3's are at least 44100 Hz stereo.
if your burner supports dao, add -dao in the cdrecord command line. better results...

 Maybe I'm just dense but how the heck do you create a

 and start imaging  automatically. I have the hard drive
 image file. I have the boot floppy image. I can't get it all
 onto a CD successfully. I now have two coasters which have a
 perfect copy of the hard drive image file but the stinking
 CD's won't boot. The computer boots from other CD's just
 fine.
 
 I'm using a 8.1 system now and have tried xcdroast,
 eroaster, gcombust, and mkisofs from the CLI to no avail.
 All of them complain that they can't find either the boot
 image or the boot.catalog file. I have tried placing the
 floppy image everywhere I can think of and it has
 permissions that would allow everyone from Charles Manson to
 the Pope to read it. This is frustrating because my old
 system (7.1) with kisocd just worked by giving it a file
 name and location. Unfortunately kisocd is no longer
 supported it would appear.
 
 README.eltorito says that the boot.catalog file will be
 automatically created but doesn't say where. It also speaks
 of the boot image but doesn't say where it needs to be.
 Absolute paths don't find it which is totally confusing. The
 CD-writing howto on LDP just points to the README.eltorito
 file included with mkisofs.
 
 What is the magic step here to make this work?

i assume that the files and directories from which to create your iso image are in a 
directory named to_be_burnt. and you're creating an iso image in ~/burn

first:
create iso image like this
cd to_be_burnt 
mkisofs -v -r -T -J -pad -b boot_image -c boot.catalog -o ~/burn/image.iso .

then
cd ~/burn
cdrecord -v speed=? dev=?,?,? image.iso

replace ? with appropriate values
boot_image is the image from which the cd will boot. it has to be in the cd! give the 
path from where you're creating iso.

 Hi list,
 does anybody used kcdlabel and resolved the configure problem for it?
 It complains that the libQt version is not =than 2.31 this is wrong for

 I thought it might be a good trick to link /usr/lib/qt2 - /usr/lib/qt
 because the configure looks there, but I had no success.
 The homepage for kcdlabel: http://kcdlabel.sourceforge.net/

 I could even ask for a hint at the homepage but thought that this list
 might be a good choice also.
 Or I'm wrong?

 By the way isn't there any other program ready for mdk that is able to
 print round cd-label?
 Thanks for reading...
 Bernd

i've built kcdlabel-2.7 with qt-2.3.1. it runs fine
maybe u need some devel rpm, like libqt-xxx-devel. look at what is installed 
by typing:
rpm -qa | grep qt

to build some kde/qt apps, u have to set KDEDIR and QTDIR before to compile. 
on a rpm based system type this:
export KDEDIR=/usr
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt2
sometimes, it's useful to add some options to configure so that it can't 
ignore where is qt ;)
./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt2 --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt2/lib 
--with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt2/include
type first ./configure --help to know the right options

xsane was built with gimp plugin support. xsane and xscanimage are present in 
the gimp plugins directory, gimp and xsane have been built with the same 
compiler, gcc-2.95.3, and with the same libraries.

with some old gimp versions, all what u had to do to add xsane plugin was to 
create a symlink in /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.x/plug-ins. then xsane was avaible

 So far (about three hours) I can't get any of them to work, but I'll

 just entirely killed sound that had previously worked.

 The Linux sound HOWTO just says (basically) to copy /dev/audio or
 /dev/dsp, but neither of those do anything useful at all :-(

 I guess that my embarrassingly simple question isn't really
 embarrassingly simple at all.

 Everything else to do with sound seems to work fine (I can play CDs,
 listen to WAV or MP3 files or grab RealAudio off the Web). So I'm sure
 it isn't anything silly like a fundamental configuration problem. It
 may, of course, be a fundamental lack of understanding problem :-)

 I remember way back in LM 7.0 getting sound to work using sox without
 any trouble. But things are obviously more complicated these days.
 artsdsp rec output.wav produces a file with a WAV header, but nothing

   that I researched how to set up one of these scanners in Linux (about
 six months ago... I have one 3200C too) it wasn't possible. If you
 really need a scanner under linux you should look for one of these SCSI
 models, not the cheap parallels...

i have a HP PSC500 which is a printer scanner and copyer on // port.
i had to compile sane to have support for the scanner. all drivers for 
printer or scanner are avaible at hpoj.sourceforge.net and all run fine.
the only thing to do before to buy a scanner is to have a look at the sane 
site to know which are supported.

 Hi,
 I would like to be able to use the JDK1.3.1_02 or any JDK on my Mandrake.
 I tried to install it but I couldn't cause the extension was rpm.bin
 Can anyone tell me what to do.
 Thanks a lot in advance

why to install by this way?
j2sdk1.3.1 from blackdown.org is avaible here:
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.3.1/i386/FCS/j2sdk-1.3.1-FCS-linux-i386.tar.bz2

all what u have to do is:
to choose a directory to unpack it. /usr/local or /opt or any other
then to unpack with tar xvfj
at this point, java is installed. but it's better 
to set PATH in .bashrc or /etc/profile or any other file where variables are 
initialized, by editing and adding this:
PATH=/path to/j2sdk1.3.1/bin:$PATH
export PATH

if u r not satisfied with it, u can remove the repertory where java is 
installed with rm -rf. it's easier than any make uninstall ;-)

 Hi List,

   I'm using Gcombust from MDK 8.0.  It works gracefully to burn CD

 tried to set up gcombust so.  But I when I burn a virgin CD for the first

 to continue to add others sessions.  However If I take a previous recorded
 CD in Winblows as multisession, Gcombust - Data Files window - Compute
 estimate recognise the previous session, and so I can add another session.

   Can someone give a explanation about this behaviour, please?

 Thanks in advance,

i don't use any gui to burn cd's. so i can't help u with gcombust, but i can 
give u the right way to burn a multisessions cd with mkisofs and cdrecord:

assuming that your burner is /dev/scd0 with scsi adress 0,0,0 and can burn at 
speed 8. replace with right values!...

1rst session:

mkisofs -R -o image1.raw /path/file(s)
cdrecord -v -multi -data speed=8 dev=0,0,0 image1.raw

2nd session:

#eject and reload cdr then type
cdrecord -msinfo dev=0,0,0
#output is something like 0,18524 
#replace 0,18524 with the right output.
mkisofs -R -C 0,18524 -M /dev/scd0 -o image2.raw /path/file(s)
cdrecord -v -multi -data speed=8 dev=0,0,0 image2.raw

following sessions except the last one:

#like 2nd session

last session:

#like 2nd and following sessions except the last command line
cdrecord -v -data speed=8 dev=0,0,0 imageN.raw

Le Vendredi 26 Octobre 2001 20:19, vous avez écrit :
 I've not tried this on non-Mandrake boxes, but I think it may be a
 problem with linux in general not just Mandrake.

 As root

 touch /home/user/test1;chmod 600 /home/user/test1
 touch /home/user/test2;chmod 600 /home/user/test2

 As user

 mv test1 test3
 mv test2 test3

 Both succeed with no trouble (the 2nd one will ask if you want to
 override the mode 600).  mv basically does a cp and a rm doesn't it (I
 didn't look at the source, just guessing) and you shouldn't be able to
 rm a file you don't have permission to write on.

 You can mv the files anywhere in your home dir you have write
 permissions, but you can't seem to move to say /tmp  It would seem that
 if an admin put a specific file in your home dir that they didn't want
 you to modify, you could either move it or even replace it with this
 setup.  I'll admit this would be a little odd, but still a bug.

 Since I'm not sure who to report this too, someone please let me know.

 Julia

not a bug!

if you use umask 022 on /home, /home/user is 755 user user
so, user can modify/erase all files in its $HOME.
directory's permissions have prior on the files permissions
if root wants to put a file in /home/user that he doesn't want user to 
modify, he has to put it in a specific dir which he is the owner.

try this as root:
cd /home/user
mkdir test
# test must be 755 root root
cd test
touch test1
touch test2

now try as user to mv or rm test1 and test2 in /home/user/test.

one more GUI for cd burning?
it doesn't seem to be quite stable! :-((
i can't help u about it, but if what u search is a gui to make common 
burnings, prefer gcombust which is stable and accepts ide-cdreaders as source 
even if they are not ide-scsi emulated. (cdwriter have to be)
for more complicated works, the best gui that i know with kde is konsole, 
which allowes you to do almost what u want. 

i had a look on the homepage of koncd. it supports burnproof technology. 
whow!... how great!  the first time i can see that! a software which can 
support burnproof! i thought that it was only dependent of the cdwriter, and 
that cdrecord was said to support it only because it doesn't stop to work 
when fifo is empty ;-)

IDE 0MSTR-HD1
IDE 0SLAV-HD2 
IDE 1MSTR-CD-writer
IDE 1SLAV-CD-ROM 

If you like to write from both HD source and CD-ROM source, you should have
the following configuration: 
IDE 0MSTR-HD1(does _not_ hold CD mastering data)
IDE 0SLAV-CD-Writer 
IDE 1MSTR-HD2(holds CD mastering data)
IDE 1SLAV-CD-ROM

  Kaffe is a *very* poor JVM IMNSHO as it doesn't support, well, much of

  the IBM or SUN JDK/JRE and use those. I've had very good luck with both
  of them.

 I see that there are a lot of diferent types of Java at sun, java 1.31,
 java 1.4 beta, java 2 enterprise edition, standard editions, etc, etc...
 Anyway, is there any java package in rpms ? I didn't found it in rpms at
 sun, but as you can see I'm a bit lost.
 Thank you!

as i like to use blackdown java, i give you this url:
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.3.1/i386/FCS/
here you can download j2re or j2sdk
j2re is a runtime environment
j2sdk includes development kit
the way to install is really easy.
after downloading the tar.bz2 file, as root, move it in /opt, then
tar xvfj j2sdk_or_j2re.tar.bz2
a j2sdk or j2re directory is now created in /opt and that's all what you need 
to install. no ./configure, make, make install.
now add the path to the java exec in PATH. it could be 
/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin or /opt/j2re1.3.1/bin. several ways to do that. for 
exemple, for a single user, add theese lines in ~/.bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin
export PATH
then verify if it's good:
$ which java  #answer to this command must be:
/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin/java
now you can type java at command prompt and most apps using java can run with 
that. some needs to set a special ENV like JAVAHOME, but you can know which 
by reading the README or INSTALL files for thoose apps.

 Hi everybody,

 After mounting my FAT32 partitions, all the files are marked executable.
 How can I mount them so that normal (non-directory) files are
 non-executable?
 In addition, I only want root to have write permission.  All other users
 should only have read permission.

 Currently, I mounted with noexec option.  But the files still appear to
 with permission -rwxrwxrwx.

 TIA.

 Cheers,
 Jeremy

i have no win$ partition on my box, so i'm not sure of the answer. but as i 
can remember, you can set permissions on your FAT32 partitions by specifying 
umask in /etc/fstab for each of them.
if you want all files with 644 (or -rw-r--r--) then umask=133
some can correct me if it's wrong...

u can also replace all spaces with ? (most appropriate) or *

If so, it is pretty normal.  So is the eventual data corruption you will get 
above UDMA2 (33MHz).  WDs simply do not have the hardware to cope with higher 
speeds and cannot do the required 57-byte CRCs.  And if you don't believe me, 
email Andre Hedrick direct.

If it is not a WD, then it is SERIOUS.  It means dump the drive or the mobo
