 Hi,

 I am using Redhat Linux 7.0,  installed Java SDK 1.3, Jakarta Tomcat
 3.2.1-1(all using rpm to install), and it work fine for
 http://localhost/examples/jsp/ and http://localhost/examples/servlet/

 But I want to try to use it in other directory like http://localhost/jsp .
What is 'it'? The examples? Some webapps you make? All JSP pages??

to get the examples into /jsp :
cd $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps
(tomcat_home might not be in your path, just cd to the jakarta-tomcat
installation)
mv examples jsp
- restart tomcat...

Subject: Dell 120T DLT-4000 Autoloader w/Robot - Control?
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 03:16:00 -0500

We've got a Dell 120T DLT-4000 autoloader which was purchased with a Dell
Poweredge 2450 dual-Pentium server (very recently) preloaded with RedHat
Linux.  So far, we've found no reliable way to utilize this tape drive.
Dell has not been able to help, either.

The Arkeia software originally selected had the annoying habit of crashing
the server during backup operations.  Hardware was ruled out by Dell tech
support...  so the problem is in the software.  So Arkeia was ditched in
favor of simpler backup methods, since our needs are modest. The unit was
placed in sequential mode, and loaded with tapes for daily backups using
cpio or tar or an fbackup-type program.  However, this necessitates
resetting the sequence (to the beginning) manually every Monday.  Management
wants this automated...

So the one remaining problem is how to control the DLT autoloader...
specifically, how to reset the sequence under software (or command-line
script) control.  Does anyone here know how to do this simply?  Or does
anyone know of a *reliable* and *cheap* backup package that can handle this
DLT autoloader properly?

Our management is annoyed that they've purchased a $6000 tape unit and
cannot utilize it...   and they aren't willing to shell out thousands more
trying to find software to run it...   *sigh*

Hi there

I am running RedHat 7.0 with VA-Research kernel 2.2.18pre11-va1.1smp

All memory is available but the second Gig stays unused all the time.

 I don't load the IDE driver as a module, it is compiled into the kernel.
  I'll try to insert the hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc command in the 
 /sbin/init.d/boot.local file.

Next time I compile the kernel, I'm gonna turn off "use DMA by default"
and just enable it manually using hdparm in the init scripts for the
drives where it's useful.  It doesn't seem to do much anyway, since it
shows "hda:DMA" and "hdb:DMA" in the bootup messages but then hdparm says
they're not using DMA.  (See my other posting in this group entitled
"hdparm  UltraDMA")

I would reccomend at least splitting /home off - if you have to reinstall
the system for some reason, it is nice to not have to lose your /home crap.

Hello, 

For 24 hours, I compiled the full KDE 2.1 source code at the bottom.
Cause I'm using KDE 1.x right now, and wanted to see what's the KDE 2.1.

To compile it, I downloaded Qt-2.2.4 source code and build it. - 74M 
openssl-0.9.6 - 18M
KDE 2.1 source - 1.2G 

during compile, kssl part in kdelib directory had error so, I spent about 
two hours for patching the kssl source code. Fortunately, the guy who made this
source did very simple mistakes: A little type mismatch from 
openssl library and undefined functions and constants. 

The building process is as follow.
  Linux box: Celeron 450 x2
 Ram 64M

  Qt-2.2.4
  Openssl-0.9.6
   building kde 2.1 system
  kdesupport
  kdelib
  kdebase
   (and other optional stuffs)
  kdeadmin
  kdebindings
  kdenetwork
  kdepim
  kdeuitls
  
I got exhasuted cause in 3:00 a.m today I just finished KDE 2.1 compilation and 
set the environment variable. Then, startx 

KDE 2.1 showed it's face to me. Well, no impression. 
It was looking nice compared with KDE 1.x.but, just another clone 
of GUI for Linux system. Konquror showed very nasty rendering image 
to me. Maybe I have small RAM memory?  

I would say "The KDE teams have done a good job!" 
but, won't say "The KDE teams are great!"
What I felt was the duplication of Microsoft Windows 9x. 
The source code was huge! 1.2GB. It should be some million 
lines of code except the manual and documents. 

24 hours hard work and just one hour of demo, 
then it had to rest for some days. Cause kde 1.x and 
unstable netscape gave me comfortable. 

I felt the end of 2D based GUI system personally. 
It seems not effective compared with text mode enviroment 
when the job becomes more and more complex. For example, 
can Visual C++'s ID compile 10 projects simultaneously 
like Linux which just using Xterm and keyboard? I don't think so. 
The GUI system eat a lot of memory for

Thanks Matt,
you confirmed what I found through a little experimentation.
It does appear to be a problem (or at least an incompatibility)
with ide-scsi in 2.2.17.  When I removed the line

append="hdd=ide-scsi"

from the 2.2.17 section of my lilo.conf, suddenly I was able to
mount both cd-roms, but of course ide-scsi found no hosts.
I wanted to fix this so I could still boot 2.2.16 when I wanted,
so this is the fix (or work-around) I came up with:

Do you have auto dma enabled in the kernel?  I had the same problem -
unable to mount data CDs with my burner.  I compiled a kernel with auto
DMA disabled:
#CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO is not set

and that seemed to fix it.

hello!

well i wonder where the source to things like the ftp-command, ie the
client, and cp, mv and such is.
dont say "it comes with your distribution", because i am looking for the
authorative source. where do those who make distributions get the source
in the first place?

besides, in my slack7.1 i have found no source.

is there some main site that publishes all the sources? or are they
scattered all over the net? if so, how the h**l do i find them?

thanks in adv / alex k

There is a port of the kernel to the PA-RISC architecture, although it is
still in progress and only supports some hardware.  Go here:

for more information.
