 installation proceeded perfectly well.
 What could be the reason? I am unable to configure my x-server.
 Help please.
 Earlier, I had installed FC-3 on the same machine and it was coming
 out with full GUI.

Does X try to come up at all? If not, run the following commands:
cp /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.old
sed -e 's/id:3:initdefault:/id:5:initdefault:/'  /etc/inittab.old \

   Hi

 I am currently using Windows XP(Professional) and want Linux as another OS,
 alongwith Windows on my system.   I have following queries:

 1)  I have Pentium 4,3.00 HT, Processor with 915GV Intel motherboard. Hard
 disk is 80 GB Serial ATA(Seagate).  RAM is 400FSB, 512MB. Can Linux be
 loaded on SATA hard disk?

Yes, you can. If you don't have any free partition, you can do the following:
1) Defragment your hdd
2) Use a partition program like partitionmagic, fips, parted etc. to resize 
the partition
3) Create partitions for linux.

Mandrake has the partition resizing program in its installer itself, IIRC.

 2)  From where in New Delhi, India can I get Linux for free/at reasonable
 rates?

You can get them from one of the many resources. Ask at the ilugd-cd list.

 3)  Which is the latest version of linux introduced?

Depends. 2.6.10 probably.

 4)  Which linux is best suited for me?(Red Hat/Mandriek)
 i need linux for just trying it out and basic purposes initially, and later
 for advanced applications and utilities.

I would suggest you go for SUSE, mandrake or OpenLX. SUSE because it has this 
thing called YaST which will never force you to go to a terminal to perform 
even the complex tasks. Mandrake because if you dont want closed source or 
non-free SUSE. OpenLX because it is indian and has many added stuff over FC. 
It contains CollabCAD, Kalculate, Flash player, Sun's Java, bootsplash etc. 
Normally, you wouldn't find these in any other distros. Also, it is backed by

[ilugd] /proc/cmdline

2005-02-15 Thread Arjun Asthana
Hi,

On my school's computer, I have made a script that executes another script if 
it gets the specified options from the kernel's command line parameters. The 
script is a part of rc.local. It is:
---SCRIPT---
if grep runX /proc/cmdline  /dev/null 21
   then while true
  do /etc/X11/prefdm
  done
elif grep text /proc/cmdline  /dev/null 21
   then for i in $(seq 1 6)
  do ( while true
 do /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty$i
 done
 ) 
  done
   fi
---/SCRIPT---

The parameter that I give in the kernel is that same as the output of cat 
/proc/cmdline. It reads:
ro root=/dev/hda9 vga=791 acpi=off 7 runx

The text part works fine. The /proc/cmdline reads:
ro root=/dev/hda9 vga=791 acpi=off 7 text

PS: I have already created runlevel 7, okay? It is just a copy of 3 with some 
services removed and gettys removed so that I can specify everything on the 
cmdline. I also know that it can also be done in init and will be better. 
But, this is just for rd.

Friends, help needed.

any other information on the sale of boxed software will be useful.

Also, how much did govt of India + state govts+PSUs +nationalised
 institutions spend on software lisences?

How much was spent by educational institutions?

BTW, as per the NASSCOM report, the IT sector earned just over 3% of India's
GDP in 2004.

And govt will spend 3% of its budget on e-governance.

Does it connect somewhere?

 i am installing FC3 on 120 GB SATA and getting some problem,

Can you elaborate? If you say `getting some problem', the common response 
would be `did you try poking it with a stick?'

 so just to
 make sure i am not exceeding the maximum allowed size of

 / (slash)
 /root
 /etc
 swap etc. etc.

I think i know your problem. /etc, /bin, /sbin, /dev, /lib should be on the 
same parition. Also, create a partition for /boot of around 150 MB before any 
other partion to make sure it comes under first 8 GBs.

I'd suggest that if you really need enterprise-grade systems, then go for 
whitebox. Else, use fedora or debian. They aren't so bad. My experience with 
RHEL 3 is not good. You dont get any pre-compiled packages and sometimes, 
though you're running X, the configure script is unable to find it (as in the 
case of icewm), you have to give the specific include and libs path. Some 
things (even if you manage to get pre-compiled, arch independent) dont work 
on RHEL (eg: zdoom). Whitebox is RHEL compatible if you really need RHEL.

 Is it true that numbers of Red Hat supports call are found on popular Linux

by mistake I sent my reply to the list. Now I have sent a new reply to
 ehealth as follows. Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your email. You will be happy to know that a free alternative to
 MSOffice is available. The user is free of worry of crime and anti-piracy
 laws. it is called openoffice. The makers invite anyone and everyone to
 use it without paying a paisa. Hope you like it. yours sincerely

Re: [ilugd] Volunteers in Gurgaon/Delhi office of ehealth-care

2004-11-05 Thread Arjun Asthana
Dear Sudev,

No, this is an opportunity. Can you help these people move over to OSS?
Can some of us tell them ways to utilise OSS tools for doing their job? can 
we provide support for these people to install, develop, run, operate the OSS 
tools to solve their problems?

Can we prove that Linux/OSS is better suited to their use? can we volunteer 
to help them?

There is a world beyond the box of technology.

Atul

Re: [ilugd] Ubuntu Fedora's Display together...

2004-10-31 Thread Arjun Asthana
Hi,

On Sunday 31 October 2004 03:54, you wrote:
 Hi all,

 I have Ubuntu  Fedora, both installed in my hdd. I usually boot into
 Ubuntu  have stable working environment there. But my brother has a
 peculiar liking for his home account in Fedora. Everytime he sees the
 computer free, he just reboots it into Fedora  i have to reboot it
 again to get back into my Ubuntu's account.

 To get GUI's running simultaneously from both distro's, i tried the
 following

 I mounted Fedora's partition on /fedora in Ubuntu, then...

 [03:46][root:/ root]$ chroot /fedora ### did this from ubuntu
 [03:46][root:/ /]$   ### chrooted successfully
 [03:47][root:/ /]$ umbrello
 umbrello: cannot connect to X server :0.0 ### This is the ERROR
 [03:47][root:/ /]$

 So, you see, the problem is the cannot connect to X server :0.0. Every
 application gives the same prob.

 If i can get this thing to work, i can start KDM from the newly chrooted
 system  it'll probably start the KDM on next free DISPLAY number. That
 way, Alt+Ctrl+F7 will have Ubuntu  Alt+Ctrl+F8 will have Fedora.

 So me  my bro will happily co-exist without rebooting :-)

 Please help me out with the DISPLAY problem...

I'd suggest you use Xnest to solve your problem. Run:
$ Xnest -ac :1 
$ chroot /fedora
$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ umbrello

Check umbrello's man page to check how to use another display if this doesn't 
work.

 Thanks,
 makuchaku

Which bootloader do you use? In it's config file, under the linuix image, put

 Is there any parameter i can pass to the kernel to

This message has been sent to all active GNUWin II contributors via the web
 interface

Hi everybody,



It was a lot of fun constructing GNUWin and seeing it grow. But I don't find
 the time and motivation anymore to continue the project. I will stop my
 activities for GNUWin.


Concretely that means:



- I will not add new contributors or languages anymore

- The construction interface will be closed end of October 2004 and a last
 set of ISO images will be released.
- The GNUWin server will continue to exist until end of February 2005. After
 that, it may vanish without notice.
- I will not invest time to find a replacement server

- I will not invest time to find a new head for GNUWin



If somebody is seriously interested in leading the GNUWin project, please
 contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]




So long and thanks for all the help ;-)

 Yesterday I landed into this crisis, on my 64MB, P2-233MHz, FC1-GNOME,
 notebook:

 System boots fine, but as soon as init scripts start, I start getting lots
 of FAIL all indicating /dev/null : read only filesystem.

 My god, I never faced this all my Linux experience. e2fsck's show clean
 filesystems. fdisk -r /dev/null also showed a read only file system (Zero
 length File system) What is this??

 I found the following solution through Google, and it worked:

 1. mount -o remount, rw /
 2. rm -f /dev/null
 3. mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3

Well, a simple chmod from the root user (chmod 666 /dev/null) would have 
worked.

 Gurus!!

 What was that??

Which distro do you use? The /dev/null thingy had wrong permissions.

 Why did it happen in the first place??

Your distro. did not set the right perms. Or, maybe you fiddled with it ;-)

 What are the basics
 about that Character Device and Major and Minor numbers??

It's too tough to explain. Well, lets try. Open a terminal and go to /dev. Do 
an `ls -l' on something, lets say `hda hda1 hda2 ttyS0 tty1 console zero 
random' etc. You will see a result like:
- -
crw---1 all  root   5,   1 Sep  8 15:41 console
brw-rw1 root disk   3,   0 Aug 31  2001 hda
brw-rw1 root disk   3,   1 Aug 31  2001 hda1
brw-rw1 root disk   3,   2 Aug 31  2001 hda2
crw-r--r--1 root root   1,   8 Aug 31  2001 random
crw---1 root root   4,   1 Sep  8 15:41 tty1
crw-rw-rw-1 root uucp   4,  64 Sep  8 15:40 ttyS0
crw-rw-rw-1 root root   1,   5 Aug 31  2001 zero
- -

The first letter in the first row specifies the type. 'c' stands for 
character device, 'b' stands for block device and 'p' (dunno where it is 
found) stands for named pipe.

The major number is like the 'class'. It specifies what belongs where. There 
are upto 255 major numbers. minor number is like the section which tells what 
is what. You canm get a full list in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt

 wont be a problem!!).

 1. please suggest me which flavour should i go for?
 REDHAT 9.0 / Fedora Core 2 / etc 

You should go in for gentoo(not for new users)/ debian(pretty good)/ 
FreeBSD(umm, maybe not). These distros have ready made packages for you to 
install. Debian uses apt-get, gentoo uses emerge and freebsd uses..., well i 
forgot it's name. They automatically upgrade your system by one or two 
commands. Fedora's packages are available almost everywhere.

 Anybody used Xandros, is it worth looking at
 ?(commercial version is there too i guess).

 2. should i go for 'linux for each user' (standalone)
 or deploying LTSP is ok (will save lot of maintainence
 etc.). Does LTSP a good choice in a environment which
 will extensively be using browser to access oracle
 application server and generating reports 'online'(it
 will be on LAN anyway :) ).

LTSP seems a better choice. The server should have ample ram (512MB-1GB) and 
the clients need only 16MB ram.

Friends,

An NGO requires help in creating and maintaining its site.
The site (initially) will not need dynamic features other than form to send
 mails. Most of the pages will be static. The NGO requests help on voluntary
 basis. The job can be done remotely by collaboratig thru emails. 2 to 3 hrs
 per week may be sufficient.

The site will need to be created, hosting and sitename are already catered
 for. Contents will also have to be managed. Some amount of creative skills
 in site design and content designs will be needed. Graphic skills will be
 greatly appreciated.

If you know graduate students who may be able to contrbute, please pass on
 this mail to them.

All those who can contribute consistantly, may please contact me at

Hi,

I am looking for a browser based FTP solution on PHP. The objective is to
upload large files (500MB and above) to specific authorized directories on a
linux web server. The normal browser upload function refuses to function for
various reasons. One primary reason is that the PHP.INI file has a statement
restricting browser based uploads to 20MB, and the web hosts are not willing
to modify this for obvious reasons.

The solution is being made for an agency which requires a simple browser
based interface to transfer files between itself and its customers. The word
SIMPLE means that they dont want their non-IT-savvy clients to get stuck
with FTP clients.

Any ideas?

[ilugd] PHP5+Apache2

2004-07-16 Thread Arjun Asthana
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I'm trying to install Apache2 with PHP5 not as a DSO but a module. I 
installed php in /usr/local/apache2/php5 using:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php5 --with-mysql 
- --with-apache2=../httpd-2.0.50 --with-gd --with-sqlite --disable-libxml 
- --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr 
- --with-xpm-dir=/usr 
The documentation says that you have to build apache with
$ ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a (other options)
It failed saying that the option is not recognised. So, I built it with:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/httpd 
- --enable-modules=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a --enable-cgi --enable-so
Then it says that the module does not exist. In fact, the src dir does not 
exist. Now, how do I build apache with PHP? I'm currently using apache 1.3.20 
and PHP 4.0.6.

[ilugd] Booting win from another drive through LILO

2004-07-10 Thread Arjun Asthana
Hi,

I got a strange problem here. While, for most, booting win through  LILO 
works, but for me it doesn't. I got windows in /dev/hdb1 and linux in 
/dev/hda1 (/boot), /dev/hda2 (root) and /dev/hda3 (swap). Now, I added an 
entry in /etc/lilo.conf for windows which is as follows:
-
#Win98
other=/dev/hdb1
   optional
   label=win
   loader=/boot/chain.b
   table=/dev/hdb

I started from a few and searched the net for more info and added them as 
required, but still I'm unable to boot into windows. It stops at
`Loading win'.

I tried GRUB (using grub-install), but after doing so, I was not even able to 
boot linux and I was dropped to a GRUB prompt. When I loaded the kernel and 
booted (in GRUB), it had some errors regarding the filesystem.

Please help. Currently, I have to changed the settings in the BIOS to boot in 
win.

[ilugd] Made a script to make bootable floppies using busybox

2004-06-20 Thread Arjun Asthana
Hello,

I have made a script to make bootable floppies using busybox. It will have 
your own kernel and can also have your own program.

It is not at all tasted (or tested) (since my floppy drive does not work and 
kernel compilation is too long for me and `make oldconfig' does not work with 
this script because we cannot use modules).

Please inform me if something wrong happens and, if possible, send me the 
exact output before the crash. There must be many bugs.

If there are some devices missing, tell me and I'll add them.

The liscence is GPL if open-source apps are included and LGPL for properietry 
apps (so that you dont break law).

Download from: ilugd download page

Reference: I found an article somewhere by Bruce Perens (the original maker 
of busybox, now maintained by Erik Andersen) that said how to make a floppy 
based distro. (I dont know from where). I made a srcipt out of it and added 
some devices.

There's another cute thing called bubblefishymon which is a cross of

 What you are talking about is software tech standards, which would be
limited to systems which are capable of  operating  these
technologies/protocols. This way, you would end up leaving out a very large
chunk of software which runs on very small embeded systems, who may them
selves be autonomous in their operations.

 Very large number of mil softwares do not run on processors which can
handle these tech standards. They are designed for single small job.

 I was talking about quality standards by which, the design, testing,
integration and everything else takes place. The software may or may not
follow the tech standards mentioned by you. Your definition will disqualify
almost entire mil aviation software which uses its own protocols and tech
standards.

You are simply quoting the broad principle on which these specifications are
based. ( Mil grade means the software does exactly and only what it is
suppose to do). And it doesn't takes care of interoperability/compatability
btw.

Let me simplify it for you. Let us say the military buys OS A which does
exactly and only what it is supposed to do. And it also buys product B
which also does exactly and only what it is supposed to do. But product B
despite qualifying your broad principle, doesn't runs on OS A. Usually apart
from real time OS/applications concerns, the second factor of major concern
is will it work with what we already have in place?.

Your deifinition of  Mil grade means the software does exactly and only
what it is supposed to do hardly takes compatability into account, does it
?.

Your definition will disqualify almost entire mil aviation software which
uses its own protocols and tech standards.
Pardon ? how so ? I merely said that US has such and such standard and
*most* of the other countries borrow from what US has so far done(and others
obviously either make their own specifications on the fly). If mil aviation
software has its own standards, then mil grade software would be one which
complied to such protocols and tech standards, correct ?

I was merely saying that your definition of Mil grade means the software
does exactly and only what it is supposed to do was incomplete since it
didn't take interoperability into account for example.

As for Vivek's second query about whether linux qualifies, it completely
depends on which military. Several governments have officially adopted linux
and would probably have no qualms adopting it for military usage as it is
posix compliant to a large degree. Some of others make their specifications
on the fly. US DoD required certification. Last I checked Linux was posix
compliant to quite a degree but not certified.

Abhi

Rod Smith's Linux Distributions Guide

I've written this page to present my opinions of several Linux
distributions.

... but many Linux newbies are faced with an important question: Which
Linux OS to get?

Unlike most OSs, the individual components of Linux (the kernel, the
core libraries, startup scripts, shells, GUI tools, and so on) are all
available separately. Over the years, therefore, several Linux
distributions have arisen.

Each distribution takes some set of components and packages them
together, typically on a CD-ROM, along with custom install routines.
Different distributions can take different approaches to creating a
working Linux system.

... The end result is that each distribution has its own personality,
and some distributions are better suited to some tasks than others.

This web page summarizes my experience with several popular Linux
distributions.

i.e. suppose you are downloading a file with, say, 50 threads (like a CD or so?). The 
connection
is slow and your first thread finishes before any other thread starts. If this would 
have been
GetRight, it would have continued if the second thread wouldn't have started or 
continued at some
other point in between. Same in axel.

Get it from: www.lintux.cx

The current release (AFAIK) doesn't have the above features. This new version will be 
there at
ILUGD download page very shortly with the permission of the author the author (Mr. 
Wilmer van der

never released
it.

Re: Re: [ilugd] Re:MIlitary Grade Software

2004-03-18 Thread Arjun Asthana
Dear Abhi,

What you are talking about is software tech standards, which would be limited to 
systems which are capable of  operating  these technologies/protocols. This way, you 
would end up leaving out a very large chunk of software which runs on very small 
embeded systems, who may them selves be autonomous in their operations.

Very large number of mil softwares do not run on processors which can handle these 
tech standards. They are designed for single small job.

I was talking about quality standards by which, the design, testing, integration and 
everything else takes place. The software may or may not follow the tech standards 
mentioned by you. Your definition will disqualify almost entire mil aviation software 
which uses its own protocols and tech standards.

 No. Not exactly. Mil grade means the software does exactly and only what
it is suppose to do.

*Sigh* What is an elephant really like ? - Asked the blind men (no offence
intended).

US DoD has Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating
Environment(DII COE) stanard in place for this purpose. DII COE is a set of
standards and guidelines that describe a plug and play open architecture
designed around a client/server model defined by the Defense Information
System Agency (DISA). DISA collects the requirements from the U.S. Army, the
Navy, the Air Force, and so on, and then works with the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, to create a platform-independent environment
called the COE Kernel. DISA distributes this code to vendors and integrators
for porting to various platforms. DISA also distributes a set of
requirements concerning features of the environment (for example, minimal
required tools for networking, system, and account management) and the
procedures to be followed in order to be certified.

DII COE is designed to provide a common information technology architecture,
to promote interoperability, and to establish cross-platform capabilities
for the increasingly diverse US Department of Defense (DOD) operations.
These criteria include compliance with industry standards, commercial
testing, and satisfaction of DISA interoperability, security, and functional
requirements. But the Kernel Certification program has however been lately
stopped.

Basically since most of the other countries adapted to computers etc. on a
mass sale much later than US, it made sense for them to simply adapt USA's
standards (which were already in place) regards this. Some of the standards
included in COE are POSIX (1003.1  1003.2), X11, Motif, CDE, TCP/IP.

Quoting just *one* of these criterions would be plain wrong.

Perhaps the original poster should have also mentioned which military ?
Answer will differ depending on that.

First of all if I hurt your feelings, that was certainly not intended and 
I apologise for that.

I don't see a mention anywhere for the Indian military. I certainly did 
not mean the Indian Army. I am quite aware of the military services in 
the country and would not ridicule them at any time.

Just one more comment I'd like to add here, the world over the military 
services are certainly not know for their intelligence, they are all good 
at following orders in fact, its gets to be dangerous if they try and 
take decisions, they are not trained for that they are literally trained 
only to follow orders!

Anyways sorry for that.

 but you can download it from http://kernel.org  and recompile it easily.

How can that be? I run redhat 7.2 and uname -r gives me 2.4.7-10.

Hello,

I'm unable to go directly to gui mode (runlevel 5 on RHL). When I do so, the 
screen goes blank after the init thingy starts the services and a few seconds 
later I'm transferred to runlevel 3 (text mode on RHL). But I am able to run 
/etc/X11/prefdm when I log into root from the runlevel 3. I had updated xfstt 
and installed evilwm and from the next boot onwards, the problem had started.

 Great - we have one volunteer who is based in Delhi.

 Also, noticed that Glynn Foster (aka GMan ;-)) is thinking about

(http://www.gnome.org/~gman/blog/15122003)

   Sounds like Linux Asia 2004 is going to be big , and we need to showcase
   GNOME there.Lets start working on this.

  After looking at http://www.linuxasia2004.com/program/, I believe that
  we would be better suited to the Hub

  Potential demo areas would be

  0. GNOME l10n support
  1. GNOME for the ordinary Suresh Das user
  2. GNOME as a development platform (Glade/Anjuta/what not)

  By that time, GNOME 2.5 *may be* demoable - and also, combining that
  with the Freedesktop Xserver - we may have some real fun ;-)
  Of course, that machine would have to sport a label - Technology
  Preview - Unstable - may cause physical harm

  Also, it would be nice if we can have some ideas on what is done in
  GNOME booths at [GNU]Linux shows worldwide.

  Also, do we get to do talks - or is seperate registration reqd. ?

  And, maybe it can be nice if someone contacts iLUG-Delhi and find out
  if anyone is interested in volunteering.

  The charges for HUB is  Rs 1 per PC.
  So we need to find out how many PCs we need (do they come preinstalled
  with anything??)

  Also, if someone comes from outside Delhi - we'll need to provide
  travel/lodging/food expenses.

  So, we need to get in action fast.

  Let us first formulate the things we are going to demo/speak about.

  Then we can get an idea of how many computers we need - how many
  volunteers we need - total cost.

Subject: [governmentforge] Shocking news about Microsoft's ability to kill 
Open Source
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 14:10:55 -0600
From: Tom Adelstein [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Gov open source [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,

I'm scheduled to speak at the Desktop Linux Consortium on November 10th
at Boston University. My subject relates to Linux in State and Local
Government, a subject about which I have some knowledge.

This morning I discovered from a reliable source that we will not be
invited back because Microsoft offered BU a Gold Partnership agreement
and marketing money to never do this again.

Jsut slightly infuriated, I inquired anonymously about the situation. I
contacted the Department of Justice and spoke to an attorney. Imagine my
surprise to discover Microsoft didn't do anything wrong. What they did
doesn't violate the law. I couldn't believe it.

Imagine, all the time spent trying to stop them from restraining trade
and it means nothing. They can pay companies to not sell Linux. They
can provide marketing money to make sure their products are put ahead
of others, make sure certain products don't get shelf space, advertise
on every page featuring Linux or Open Source Software and they don't
break the law. Basically, they're not considered criminals as far as I
can tell.

Now, if they threaten you with bodily harm, that's different. But what
does one get other than maybe a settlement if they do? That's something
else I found out.

I've followed Microsoft's antics for years now and seen some amazing
things. Some of those include what I thought were kickbacks. But in
reality, they must not be kickbacks. I guess if they won a contract and
paid the procurement officer, that would be a kickback. But, no one has
accused them of that - at least not in any way about which I know. Price
cutting, sure they do that. Lobbying, they do that too. Whining, I hear
they whine and spin. Evidenttly, nothing is wrong with that either.

So, all I can conclude is that we shouldn't call them crooks. We might
wind up the subject of a defamation suit.

I wonder if we could suggest a boycott?

Would doing that be a violation of law?

Tom

I'm a member of the local LUG, but they're pretty anti-XML as a group and
 many of them Java for that matter.  This will probably have to be a Java

 end up using MySQL or PostgreSQL as the database, but the app server side of

  I'm implementing a public case management application/database in

  My app has an XML push/pull mechanism as the only way communicate with

  added.  I'm looking for an open source database application that can
  receive

  available to other applications that request this same information.  What
  this will do is keep case management data synchronized across multiple

 Dear all,

 You all will be aware that Reliance has extended the facility of surfing

 checking the same I observed that there are drivers for win98, win2k and xp
 but not for linux.

 I would like to know if there is any possibility of it configuring it over
 linux and if anyone of you has configured it in your linuxbox  if so, I
 would be obliged if I am provided valuable guidance for the same.

 For your

 If it hangs it's probably an RPM problem.  Try the following:

 Thanks! It solved the problem. But I am unable to get/install anything using 
apt-get. Maybe because of missing pkglist.os. Can someone send me this file

 2. If that doesn't work, a reboot usually clears the problem.

 This is due to some bad locking in the rpm command as far as I know.

 Hi Neeraj,
 About the easiest way to install , i guess you

 anyway the gr8 MS funda goes whats can be blindly clcked can be
 installed easily , anyway for that you can get RH8 or RH9 .. its bcome
 so user friendly these days the basic essence of a Unix falour has gone
 away , its not RH these days its generally any distribution except some
 like Debian that are very easy to install .. diffculties  arise in
 places where partitions are needed to be made, for that yiu can use a
 third party partitioning tool like Partition Magic to make your linux
 partiions from windows and then just guide the installation wizard to
 that partiion , once you cross that , other things are very easy .. what
 i suggest is you try either RH8 or SUSE 8.* i dont remember the exact
 version (sorry for that) .. you can contact Atul at
 http://www.seascope.co.in  .. he is a good guy dealing with software
 distributions, SUSE is now judged as much user friendly than RH and is
 also much cheaper .. all depends what purpose you want your installation
 to work as ... otherwise a pack of CD from Linux Bible is enough to set
 up a Server ..

  Take care .. all the best . hope this works

 “You look everything but you see only what you want to
 SEE.”

 Never really believed in this until I joined an
 organization a few days ago (39 days to be exact).
 This organization deals with research and
 implementation of free / open source software. The
 concept has been there for quite a few years now but
 never gave it a thought. A friend has been an active
 member of ILUG-D, Prateek Khanna, a few of u may know
 him ;o). He tried to explain the whole concept
 n-number of times but a dud brain like mine couldn’t
 grasp the idea. And yes, an idea can change your life.
 It did, once I tried to look in to the matters myself,
 seriously. I am working with one such firm that is in
 to promoting the idea (and at times, !dea ). Coming
 back to the quotation I started with, You see what you
 want to see… suddenly I see that there are so many
 magazines, journals, white papers all over the
 internet and in print media that serve the purpose of
 software freedom. The latest issues of PC Quest, Linux
 for you… you name any software magazine and its filled
 with articles that talk pro freedom of software. Guys
 like you are also doing a great job. My work is
 basically to “enlighten” people (yes, there are people
 in the real world who have no idea that there are
 softwares besides the ones provided by Microsoft). To
 distribute knowledge you need to have some yourself.
 So I log on to google.com and search “free software”
 and get 2,480,000 in 0.11 seconds (this is just the
 list of articles and write ups), and a search result
 of 20,600 in 0.27 seconds for “Linux user groups”.
 PHEW! I was zapped. Free software is there for FREE. A
 normal human brain would call it free of cost. But a
 genius one like mine (contradicting my own statement
 of it being a dud) knows that it’s the idea that’s
 free. The concept of freedom of speech, freedom of
 thought, freedom to decide is same as this one. No
 strings attached. The best part is that we are not
 working against or with any one in particular. The
 general conception is, “Ok so you are into promoting
 Linux and you are condemning Microsoft?” No way, the
 theme here is to provide the user with the “freedom”,
 to let the programmer, the hacker inside you, free.
 So, let the white pigeon fly, cut the red ribbon,
 unveil the stone and enter a new era where all are
 benefited from the geek minds. As I would like to put
 it; Use – reuse, recycle!!!


 warm regards
