[ilugd] Changing partition size without formatting
Hey Guys, I installed postgres in our linux server. I didn't see the partion size of /usr. It is just 7 GB and rest 73 GB is spare in /var. How can I give a part of /var to /usr without formatting both of them?

If that is the case, I shouldn't have got such an error :o( [Error] File C:\installs\PYTHON23\lib\site-packages\pyPgSQL\PgSQL.py, line 3072, in execute libpq.OperationalError: ERROR: cannot extend [Table Name]: No space left on device. Check free disk space.

Please suggest me if I am wrong or have done a mistake and how can I rectify that.

Shutdown your server, find your $PGDATA directory, copy its contents into /var/whatever, and either link the original directory to the new one, or pass a different -D argument to the postmaster. -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

How to create bootable floppy disk in Fedora 2.
I don't have a fedora 2 system at hand right now, but RedHat 9 systems
come with a /sbin/mkbootdisk shell script that will guide you through
the process. It is the part of mkbootdisk package. I am sure it should
be available under Fedora too.
Alternatively, you can have a look at the QMkBootDisk, which is a GUI
frontend for making boot floppies.

[ilugd] Top / bottom / Inline posting
I am not hoping to start a relgious war here but I was wondering how strict should one enforce the idea of bottom or inline posting vs top posting. I understand the idea that we should have the complete context in place but does that really mean I should be forced to bottom post even if I am giving a two line reply to a two line request ? My observation is : 1. top post if you are giving a one line reply to a one line request 2. Bottom post if you are replying to a substantially long request and the complete text is required to understand your reply. Also bottom post only if your reply is short and answers the whole block. 3. Inline post if you are replying to a posting in parts. Mithun __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
