Howdy-doo,
The name should have been misterbooboo to start with.
Sorry - I set up the newsreader too fast, not paying attention.
I hate MS 'wizards'!
I changed fstab to
/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdromiso9660noauto,user,ro0 0
and the goober CD drive now works.
This is a first! I didn't make something worse by changing it.
I'm almost worried about that lol
Thanks for the tips :-)

Hi Jon:

Cdrom (/mnt/cdrom -- /dev/hdc) no longer allows mount :-(
What command are you attempting to use?
Here is what I do;
First add a line to your /etc/fstab (fstab is Linux for File System
TABle);
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
Now you should be able to mount your CD rom like this;
mount /cdrom enter
You will not be able to open your CD drive door until you unmount the CD
rom;
umount /cdrom enter

Try not to change posting names too often; It gets confusing.

try:
tr -d '\015' FILENAME.DOS FILENAME.LINUX
where FILENAME.DOS is the DOS text file you want converted FILENAME.LINUX
is the file you want the output written to.
just trims the DOS carriage returns, but useful to have on hand...
substitute $1 for FILENAME.DOS and $2 for FILENAME.LINUX and make it an
executable file that accepts parameters.

I don't know for sure (not having been around Linux from the beginning),
but it was probably the ACK (Amsterdam Compiler Kit) C compiler that
came with Minix that was _first_ used to compile the Linux kernel.
I assume that ACK generate binary code for intel i386 hardware then I can
understand that we can generate linux kernel on Minix machine. What if we have
to generate binary code which is differnt from the host machine? For example,
the OS I am learning is L4/MIPS. We can compile it with a cross-compiler on a
Solaris machine then the cross compiler can generate MIPS codes. The thing
that I do not understand is that how can a compiler can generate a kernel which
is run on different hardware? Or, let me rephrase my question this way, can we
only boot linux kernel but do not install any compilers and libraries on this
machine? What a system looks like if it only boot linux kernel? If possible,
I hope that someone can direct me how to boot only a linux kernel.
Once Linux was running
well enough, GCC was recompiled (again, using Minix's version of GCC)
to run natively under Linux.
ok... I got some of the ideas and it's making sense to me now.
Actually, the root of _this_ OS tree was hand coded in PDP-7 assembler,
and cross assembled on (IIRC) a GE system (running GECOS). You might
want to check out Lucent Technologies "History of Unix"
I ckecked this out. A great resouce on Unix!

It is actualy more than slightly patched. If you install kernel.*.src.rpm
from the SRPMS dirctory you can see in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES what
patches are actualy applied.
So how can I get back the original RH version of this directory, and

Install the kernel-source rpm package from the RH6.2 CD. Possible with
the --force flag to force package overwrite. The original config files
are found in /usr/src/linux/configs, one config file for each of the shipped
kernel versions (386, 586, 686).

Hi,
Mount the RedHat CD and find the RPMS directory on the CD
(/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS IIRC). The kernel source is one of the few

I am now using an external CDROM with a parallel port interface to

by Vintech in a store near us. Do PCMCIA CDROMs made by Vintech Linux

Agreed. They should write it in Java. That way, KDE and GNOME could run on
an array of embedded applications (such as the Palm pilot). We'll
see a lot less of Windows CE. I'm tired of seeing Windows CE running on
embedded applications.
Java? Please, NO! I have a NEED for SPEED!! I don't think even hotspot can
make up for the performance hit I'd take with java. When doing complex
analyses on up to 10 gigs of byte-sized time series data, even a 15% speed
hit is significant. So why accept it when you can just use C++?
JAVA isn't slow. JAVA apps. running on modern JDKs (like 1.3) can be as
fast as normal C++ code - and some code even runs faster as in C++.
JAVA-based (Multithreaded) MPEG 2 encoder/decoder comes in mind...

Hi,
I am a beginner on learning Linux. In my PC, I've already installed
Win98. Now I also want to install linux in order to dual-boot between
2 os. But every time when i am going on the last stage of installation--
"Lilo setup", whatever i do , Lilo can't be installed.
If i choose to use SCSI device, it looks like being ok. But when the
computer reboots, i can only see many blinking lines on my screen,
which means i can neither work on win98, nor Linux.
If i choose not to use SCSI device, Lilo can't be installed and SETUP
can't be finished.
Because there are some bad sectors on my hard-disk, i wonder whether
Lilo is just going to be installed on those bad sectors, which leads
the problem i get stuck in.
There is anyone to help me to point out the reason and a way to solve
this problem.
(There is no any SCSI device on my computer.)
Thanks!

just slot your CD into the drive, select Play File, browse over to your
CD mount point (or wherever is specified in your settings for the CD
Audio input plugin) and all the tracks should appear there.
How do you mount an audio CD?

Have a look at the samba logs. If you run SWAT (Samba Web Admin Tool (?)),
you can configure samba very easily and see in realtime who's logged on

I think you mean: "Is a character device available for hard drives"?
I think the way it was said was reasonably well-put.
Yeah, you figured out what he meant and I figured it out, too, but
your definition of "reasonable" is quite a bit looser than mine (given
that you consider calling a character device a block device
"reasonable").
I have a partition and need to access it through a raw interface.
Basically the aim of my program is to bypass the buffer cache and be
assured that every read/write operation results into disk activity.
I fancied a post where it seemed that someone was able to do it with
RedHat 7.0. I didn't see it in the docs and I haven't had time to
look into it yet, but Stephen Tweedie's raw disk I/O may be there.

There's a version of TeX (pdftex?) that creates pdf output

I've never tried it. You can't use EPS figures w/ pdftex (which

You'll generally get much better PDF results if you use

If you use the PostScript fonts in LaTeX you can get
pretty good results. Have a look at the PDF files on

Also, I installed a new 'microcrap wheelmouse' on my box lately.
I found out how to set it up using 'mouseconfig'. It works on the
console, but not in 'X'. It jumps around the screen and acts like it
was on coke or something. DOes anybody know what's up with this ? I
don't care about if the wheel works, I just want to get my fucking
mouse working so I don't have to quit X windows every time.
You can also try the xset command:
xset m 5 2
should give a more manageble mouse speed.
the first number is the acceleration value
and the second is the threshold.
"m" is mouse

After 5-10 mins of being booted up my SuSE 6.4 Linux runs "Find" on
its own accord. Whether or not I'm connected to the net or running X
seems not to matter.
What makes this happen? What is it looking for? Can it be stopped?
Just curious to know whether anyone else has experienced this.

Subject: creating default route kills network interfaces
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 01:33:25 GMT
Recently, I worked with a friend to [try] and resolve a very odd problem. We
have a Linux-based router with two NIC's that have the interfaces eth0 and
eth1. The interface eth0 is for the internal network 192.168.1.0/24, and
interface eth1 is for access to the Internet.
We can bring both interfaces up using static IP addresses. Once the
interfaces are up we can ping both. However, if we establish a default
route then we can no longer ping either the eth0 or eth1 interface,
but we can ping the loopback address.
I have verified that a route is created to 192.168.1.0/24 over interface eth0,
and so a default route should not affect a ping to either the interface
or to any address on 192.168.1.0/24--yet, for some reason it does.
We tried using both real and fake gateway addresses on both the local
and external networks as the default route gateway just to see what happens.
Everytime both interfaces become inaccessible. However, once we tear down
the default route then the interface are again accessible.
The NIC's are DLink's, although I'm not sure how that will affect
the situation.
Anyway, I am a bit lost as to why this is happening. Any ideas?

ANyone know where I can find a "powered by linux" GIF image that I can
insert into the opening page of my website? Something like the small
GIF file on the redhat page in the lower left-hand corner.
Thanks in advance!

I would like a program to convert Unix format to DOS
All that is needed is to add an extra carriage-control to the end of
each line. A short perl line like this will do:
$ perl -pe 's/$/\r/' -i.org unix.file
Where 'unix.file' is the input file (could be *). This will leave the
original file with a '.org' extension. Just replace the above '-i.org'
with '-i' if you don't want the backups.

Minix was constrained by its design for the 8086 and 80286, and did
not use GCC at all, but, as you said, used the Amsterdam Compiler Kit,
IIRC. Minix also has a commercial license and at the time, was at
to be fair, only few people had internet access then, and tanenbaum
felt going through a publisher was the best way to make it widely
available. the license was designed to let people experiment with the
system, but you couldn't distribute modifications without going
through the publisher.
The license from Prentice-Hall didn't allow distribution of the
source code that came directly from them. There was a Minix
FTP site. A good number of the Unix programs had been ported
over, and some were rewritten so they would fit in the 64K
code/data memory space.
I e-mailed this originally, because it seems off topic here.
Apologies!

How to setup dual/multiple monitors ?
Is dual monitor possible in Linux? Multiple monitors?
I have RedHat Linux 7.0.
Has anyone successfully installed multiple monitors? How did you do it?
