#linux-india-bot continues to be an alternative channel for bawt+linux
lovers. The bawt freedom is back to the main channel with the chanop mary
promising to provide more intelligence to the bawts once she is free. 
In the meanwhile the bawts play while mary (and OldMonk) are away from the

 You should make the bots send excerpts from the channel logs to the list
 every half an hour. That way, there would be no risk of anybody missing

[ilugd] Is Linux Compatible with Centrino (Dothan) Processor

2004-06-15 Thread Kunal Singhal \(Linux\)
Hi Everyone.

I am planning to buy the new Dell 8600 notebook with Intel Centrino 745 1.8 GHz 
Processor Codenamed Dothan. This new centrino has 2MB Level 2 Cache as compared to 
1 MB L2 Cache in the earlier series of Centrino Processors.

I would like to know if the latest Linux kernel supports the Dothan range of 
processors.

If yes, is there any major distribution built on this version of kernel.

Thanks to everyone who responds.

[ilugd] Problem with GRUB

2004-06-15 Thread Kunal Singhal \(Linux\)
Hi

I have a bit of problem booting with GRUB. 
I am using a dual boot system with Win XP and Linux.
I installed PCQ Linux 2004. 
The GRUB loader was working perfectly until one day the boot loader gave me the GRUB 
Prompt instead of the GUI Screen.
Since i had the kernel and initrd locations written, I managed to boot into linux.
I do not know how to reload GRUB GUI,
so I used the Install GRUB option from Webmin which comes preinstalled with PCQLinux.

But things got worsened.
Firstly, the boot msg showed:
Loading Grub stage1.5
instead of stage2

and then nothing appeared on the screen.

However to my surprise the boot loader is working.
If i press the Right Arrow key instead of Enter by moving on the right choice, it 
boots on to it.

Windows is booting perfectly.
But when i boot into Linux, during whole text portion gets filled with absurd lines 
all over the characters.
Although it works perfectly normal when it reaches the GUI screen.
Similarly while shutting down the text screen again gets filled with absurd lines.

Kindly help me to sovle this problem and tell me how to properly re-install and bring 
back the GUI screen of GRUB.

Thanks to everyone who responds.

[ilugd] Query regarding FC2 Installation

2004-06-15 Thread Kunal Singhal \(Linux\)
HI

In the recent mails in the mailing list, I have learned about the problem of 
installing Fedora Core 2 on a dual boot system since it changes the Partition Format 
from LBA to CHS.

The solution suggested by someone was to manually select LBA option for the hard disk 
from the BIOS.

I have Intel D865GBF Original motherboard with Seagate 80GB SATA Hard Disk.
In the BIOS settings, if I select the HDD to Auto mode,
the BIOS takes LBA Support as Enabled.
If I select User Mode,
then the BIOS gives me the options to set LBA Mode to either Disabled or Auto

What should I do now?
Should I keep it to Auto and proceed with the Installation or still wait for Fedora to 
patch the problem.


Secondly, I wanted to know about swap space allocation.
I have read that the swap space should normally be twice the size of RAM.
I currently have 256 MB RAM, so i have a swap partition of 512MB.
But I am planning to upgrade to 1 GB Ram.
What swap space should I Allocate Now??
Should it be 2 GB or less?

Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me out.

The Dothan looks like just an improved version of the usual centrino 
processor. I don't see any reason why it would'nt work with linux.

RE: [ilugd] Query regarding FC2 Installation

2004-06-15 Thread Devendra Burman
Hi Kunal,
For LBA:
Auto option will go.
For swap:
It is always recomended that swap partition should be double the size of 
your RAM.  It is not mandatory.  However presently you can choose 512 MB and 
latter (when you update your system) you can increase the size of your 
partition.  If this is the case please make a prior planning of your hard 
disk lay out.

Regards,
Dev.

Bunkum.  As amount if RAM increases, the swap space I require will
_decrease_, not increase.  Any questions?

For certain values of thumb rules, the amount of real RAM should be at
least one-third of the total system memory available.  This is quite
different from the advice above.

Kumal, if this is a desktop, you may require no swap at all.

The ``swap twice size of RAM'' is a rather old concept, dating from
the days when RAM was 32 or 64MB, processors were 66MHz and disks
transferred at 1MB/s.  Make a lot of swap if you plan to have tons of
apps that aren't used very frequently open simultaneously.  However,
in general with newer systems I find 256 to 512MB of swap more than
adequate -- the values under are for a KDE desktop with 4 shells,
Xemacs, OOo, Licq, gkrellm, multiple Galeon windows and Gaim
permanently open:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ free
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached

- -/+ buffers/cache: 291560 223696
Swap:   265032 103648 161384

Hmm, /why/ do I have Licq open?  I can't remember the last time I
received an ICQ message... must do something about it, in the fullness
of time, when the time is ripe, at the appropriate juncture.

Kunal Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me out.

Uh, just thanks?  You mean you aren't paying?  D*mn!
