To uninstall from a running linux system do the following.
boot into linux.
login as root
/sbin/lilo -u
fdisk /dev/hda# or sda depending on your hard drive.
delete all linux partitions
quit and save changes
reboot with a DOS/windoz boot disk.
enter: fdisk /MBR
You will need to format the partition or drive back to a DOS/windows
format
OR:
Use the installation boot disk CD
Use the installation boot disk and CD to boot the system and follow
through the install up to the partitioning section. Delete all linux
partitions and then choose the "Back" button and save the changes when
asked. Then reboot the system with a windows boot disk and do a:
fdisk /MBR
You will have to format the disk backto the DOS format.

Yes, I am very familiar with permissions and therefore I totally agree
with what you said about how it should work.
However: I am sorry that I was not specific enough in my question, but
this IS happening while I am logged in as root - hence my original
concern...
thanks again,

all it's saying is u don't havepermission to view the contents (this
would be read permission) of the specified location.
run find as root and u won't see it. RAID has nothig to do with it.
IT's saying u don't have permission thus it is a file system issue.
REad the error and seek the solution.
you will get th emessages as soon as find finds a directory in which the
user u are logged in as doesn't have permission to access what the find
command is accessing.
running as root u do not get these errors however u have to be logged in
as root

Hello,
I have set up software RAID1+0 and I am now getting these two messages
immediately after invoking the 'find' command:
find: /proc/6/fd: Permission denied
find: /proc/116/fd: Permission denied
and then 'find' continues on as normal.
After doing a 'ps -ef |grep 6', I determined the following:
1) process '6' is 'mdrecoveryd'
2) process '116' is 'raid1d'
So my question is: Is it normal to get these messages for 'find'
after
setting up soft RAID? If not, then what can I do to fix it (it is a
little
annoying to have these pop up everytime I look for a file).
Thanks in advance,

Ok so I'll try:

Depends on how ./configure is testing for pcap.h. try ./configure

located. try a symlink in /usr/include to /usr/include/pcap/pcap.h

Here's the problem I'm having - I'm attempting to switch ports with
regard to ssh and telnetd. I've changed the ssh launch line to
"$PATH/sshd -p 23", which seems to work. I've changed /etc/services for
sshd to be port 23, and telnetd to port 22. Now, ssh incoming works OK,
but telnet incoming connects, then says "bind:address in use". Same
problem if I switch to some other random port that I know isn't in use.
Can anyone give me any help?

Any ideas/suggestions will be greately appreciated.
Take a look at lynx, "man lynx"; it's a text base browser that
supports the ftp protocol.

Perhaps not a solution in a true sense, but RH has a non-graphical
install mode. Using that will avoid some video card and chipset
problems. Try install that way (don't use a GUI install).

What I am trying to do is this:
I added the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
echo -n "Mount the RAID array [y/N]? "
read mntreply
echo
if [ "$mntreply" = "Y"] || ["$mntreply" = "y" ]; then
action "Mounting RAID array: " mount /dev/md2 /u
else
echo "RAID mount: deferred"
fi
but when the user enters a "y", it gives the following error:
/etc/rc.sysinit: [y: command not found
likewise if the user enters a "n", it gives the following:
/etc/rc.sysinit: [n: command not found
therefore there must be a different way to get user input inside of the
'rc.sysinit' script other than with "read"...

It appears to be working fine, as far as getting input goes.
But your conditional for the "if" statement is not doing what
you want. The "||" following the first "[ expression ]" is
telling the shell to test the expression and if it is /not
true/, to continue and do the statement following the "||".
"[$mntreply " is expanded to "[y" if a 'y' was input, and since
there is no such command the shell is telling you that.
Read the man page for bash!
To have multiple test conditions use "-o" or "-a" between them,
and the entire set of conditions is surrounded by "[ ... ]".
Also note that "[" is an alias for "test", and therefore a
space after it is required.
if [ "$mntreply" = "Y" -o "$mntreply" = "y" ]; then ...
However, there is a better way to test your response! Try
this shell script as an example, and work from there...
#!/bin/sh
echo -n "Say yes or no! [y/N] "
read line
case $line in
[yY]*) echo "Yes!";;
*) echo "No!" ;;

(Stanislaw Flatto) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Linuxgruven is Deceptive in their Ad Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 01:30:54 GMT Linuxgruven is Deceptive in their Newspaper Ad I checked into a job opportunity with linuxgruven a few weeks ago. I was not 'actively' seeking employment at the time. I did this solely based upon a fellow employee(where I currently work) who said he saw an ad in the newspaper that said $45K /yr, entry-level position, training for qualified applicants. There was a little more to the ad, but not much. It was a pretty small ad. I'm not quoting the ad because I don't have it laying around anymore, but it may have said, training 'available' for qualified applicants in the ad, instead of just training for qualified applicants. Whatever. The fellow employee that gave me the ad said that he called the 888 toll free number and inquired about the job and was told that it involved using Linux, and since he didn't know anything about using it but knew that I liked Linux he was giving me the ad in case I wanted to check it out. I said Oh Yeah! I'll call! I was excited at the sound of the opportunity. I would love nothing more than to get a job implementing, working with and using Linux. So I called. The person on the other end asked me a couple questions, and then gave me a number to call to set up an appointment for an interview here in Denver. I called the number and set up a time to come in. I then told my current employer that I needed the first part of that day off to go to a dentist appointment(guess you could say that's a little deception of my own). Then I went about updating my resume. The day of the interview arrived and I went to the address, a very nice office building in DTC here in Denver. I went into the office suite, which was also very nice. Secretaries were there at the front desk answering the phone with,"Linuxgruven". A gentleman came in to interview me. The interview lasted a while and went very well I thought. He said a few times that you have to be Linux certified to get the job, but it's fairly hard to find people because the 'talent pool' of people with Linux skills is really shallow. Then he said Linuxgruven 'subsidizes' the cost of the schooling and 'reimburses' you after you have worked for them for a year. He said the reason you have to be certified is to make sure you know how to do your job in the field professionally, and even though I may currently have good Linux skills they may not be up to a professional level. But, if I thought that my skills were good enough to pass the tests that I could just go ahead and take the tests, get the certification, thereby skipping the month of school. I agreed that even though I have a few years of experience of using Linux on my own, my skills probably weren't up to the par of a professional level and I would feel more comfortable about taking the tests if I went through the training/schooling first. Therefore I would plan on going through the month of schooling before taking the tests. I took what the interviewer said about subsidizing the cost of schooling to mean that they paid for the schooling as long as you work for them for a year, but if you leave before a year is up then you owe them the cost of the schooling. My current employer has a deal where they want to help you get certified(for these applications called 'Loadrunner' and 'Winrunner' - www.merc- int.com) by covering the cost of certification. You sign a contract that says you won't leave the company for three months after you receive the certification. If you do, then you owe them the $500 for the cost of the certification, and it would come out of your last check, I suppose. But you get/earn the certification on your own time after work, and it supposedly takes a few months and a total of 160 hours. But I know for a fact with my current employer that nothing comes out of your own pocket to actually get the certificate in your hand. I told the interviewer that I had considered getting Linux certified before, but it costs thousands of dollars. He did mention that the tests cost $400(four of them $100 each). The interviewer never once mentioned that I would need $2,500 for the schooling or the $400 to take the tests to come out of my own pocket. He never even mentioned anything about $2,500 at all. I didn't ask any real questions about the details of the cost of schooling or taking the tests because he kept making it sound like it would all be covered by Linuxgruven, as long I worked for them for a year after getting certified. I am in the position that I could quit my job in order to totally devote my time to

Hi all,
I just installed redhat 7.0, and compiled the kernel and everything seems
to be fine.
now when i log on as a regular user and start xterm i get the error
message:
There has been an error whil trying to log in
If you are using Linux 2.2.x with glibc 2.1.x , this is probably due to
incorrectly setup unix98 ptys.
I said yes to unix98 ptys when i compiled the kernel.
any ideas here ??
thanx

hi,
I'm a relative newbie. I am trying to update my kernel. I've gotten to
the point of configuring the new kernel. Unfortunately I have discovered
I don't have make installed. I assume it's on my CD, but haven't been
able to access it (when I type ls when in the CD directory I get nothing
- I'm not sure if that means my CD player isn't working or what - in
anycase I don't know how to determine it's exact name so I can use
rpm.). Anyway, I thought I'd try to get make by rpming over the net. How
do I do this? Where can I get the URL for wherever make might exist? And
if you have any thoughts about my CD or how to get make on there, any
info would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: [HELP] Toshiba Tecra 8100 doesn't see Toshiba disk
Date: 09 Dec 2000 23:16:34 -0500
At work I inherited a Toshiba Tecra 8100
laptop running Windows NT. Its hard disk, a
12G IBM DARA-212000, initially contained a
single partition. I used Partition Magic to
shrink this partition by 3G, created a second
partition, installed RedHat 6.2, and
installed lilo 21.5 for dual boot. Both NT
and Linux boot up without any problem.
Today I bought a new 12G Toshiba MK1214GAP
hard disk. This one has the same number of
cylinders, heads, and sectors as the IBM one.
It's supposed to work with the Tecra 8100. I
was planning to install Windows 2000 and
RedHat 6.2 on it. When I replaced the IBM
disk with the Toshiba disk, the boot-up
didn't see any hard disk.
Just to be on the safe side, I moved this
Toshiba disk to a desktop machine and
installed RedHat 6.2 on it. It booted up
without any problem.
What am I missing here? Do I have to run
something special for the Tecra 8100 to
recognize a new disk? If so, what may be the
reason for it?
Any pointers will be appreciated.
