Dont worry. Redhat 9 is no longer supported by Red Hat network. So you wont be able to register/update your system. They terminated my *paid* Red Hat Network subscription after they changed their Red Hat release policy. If you want Red Hat Network support, upgrade to the paid Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and then join the paid RHN online support. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.

Googlising MC the didn't help much. MC MC TIA MC from the manpages of fdisk: There are several *fdisk programs around. Each has its problems and strengths. Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk. (Indeed, cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on the par- tition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition tables. Use it if you can. fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS par- tition tables. Avoid it if you can. sfdisk is for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is more correct than fdisk and more powerful than both fdisk and cfdisk. Moreover, it can be used nonin- teractively.) so what you probably need is sfdisk. also check out parted. and dont forget to Read The Fine Manual.

[ilugd] Significant performance issues in RHL 8.0/9.0
Have you seen updatdb freezing the machines on these RHL machines? I digged around a bit, and found this bug report. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69900 Basically check out this sample session. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# time grep '^' /var/log/messages /dev/null real0m3.062s user0m2.780s sys 0m0.080s [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# export LANG=en_US [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# echo $LANG en_US [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# time grep '^' /var/log/messages /dev/null real0m0.031s user0m0.030s sys 0m0.000s === Basically a lot of text related programs are slower by orders of magnitude because Red Hat Linux default to UTF-8 processing for its work. And UTF compliant programs like grep spend a lot of time looking for multibyte characters(as in UTF) where mostly there arent any. I am guessing here, but maybe updatedb can run faster too. Havent tested it yet. If you are unlikely to work with UTF-8 based text(i guess on most servers as opposed to desktops which have a lot of UI dependent on it), you can change the value of LANG in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and speed up many applications on the machine. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.
