good choice, you could also consider cc-BY license (attribution-only
license) as this promotes knowledge-sharing further.

the FDL does a great job too, and is more suitable for manuals and
documentation. this works well for pH.D papers.

the researcher could do well to take a look at ibiblio.org to
understand what works best.

Dear Vivek  Vipul,

Regarding the queries :
a) He gets credit for the research
b) Any one using the research paper as the basis for
her research will give cerdit to original researcher
and/or will make research available under simmilar
license.

These are governed by the copyright Act, 1957 passed by the parliament of 
India.  With the rights in Act, the developer of the software (with strict 
condition that he  originally conceived the idea  expression) has the right 
over the same and enjoys the exclusive right ver the same.  Therefore the 
researcher can grant licence/permission to any person for use of the code 
with proper credit to the owner.

Now if anybody infringes the condition then he can be sued and you can claim 
the damages for the same.

Here the basic thing is that the idea/expression/software must by developed 
and published with these conditions.  This can definately sove your problem.

Re: [ilugd] answer seeking by an admin

2006-11-03 Thread Mithun Bhattacharya
1. Use lsmod to see whether a new module has been loaded or not.
4. Configure a bootloader like LILO or grub
5. Use smartctl

I am not sure about question 2 and 3. From what I understand every device 
driver available for a OS has a alloted major number. The number used by the 
current driver can be found from /proc/devices The minor number can be variable 
depending upon what sequence the device was loaded. If I am correct then 
question 2 and 3 doesnt make sense. Maybe I dont understand how this works or 
else these questions are not from RHEL exam ?

In one of interview of RHEL I have been asked following question.
Please help me in getting answers

1) Without using dmesg command and messages and dmesg log file, how
one will find that hot pluggable drive just inserted has been detected
by kernel or not.

2) Are device file corresponding to this drive will be created
automatically? If no which command will create corresponding block
device file in /dev.

3) If these is no way for automatic generation of block device, how
major and minor number of a disk can be figured out so that one can
use mknod device_name b maj_no Minor_no?

4) If this disk is configured and partitioned successfully. One has
copied /boo, / , /var and /usr of running system to this disk on
corresponding directory. What has to be done to write bookable super
block /MBR on this disk so that one can boot from this disk on next
reboot.

5) without using dmesg and message file, how one can get prior
information that a particular disk is malfunctioning and going to
crash / fail.

Thank in Advance
