Hi,
I have seen a number of products, such a CodeWarrior and Flash 5 that
indicates that they require RedHat Linux version. Is this just a way
of saying "it will run on other Linuxes, but we won't support you" or
will these programs genuinly not run on other Linux distributions, for
example on SuSE.

I recently added a second hard drive to my computer and, using Partition
Magic V4, copied all (almost - more about that in a minute) of the Linux
partitions from the master hard drive (hda) to the new slave (hdb) an
resized them larger. Then I brought up Linux on hda and mounted the hdb
copy of the root partition and modified that partition's /etc/fstab and
/etc/mtab to point to the hdb versions of the partitions (except for the
'almost'). I then created a boot floppy with lilo to boot the hdb copy
of Linux and it came up OK.
First question: This almost seems too easy. Is that all there is to it?
Yes, nice heh :-)
(But check with `mount` that no hda partitions are used)
I want to delete the hda Linux partitions so that I can increase the
Win95 and OS/2 partitions I have on the first drive but I don't want to
do it until I'm sure there isn't some problem lurking in some hidden
corner.
The hidden corners belong to windows, not to linux ;-)
Second question: The 'almost' I referred to was the swap partition.
Partition Magic has documentation that says it has full support for
Linux ext2 and swap partitions. Except, it seems, that you can't do
anything with a Linux swap partition except delete it. Partition Magic
had all other options greyed out or missing regarding swap partitions.
Couldn't copy, move, resize or create a Linux swap partition. So, for
now, Linux on hdb is pointing to the swap partition on hda. How can I
create a Linux swap partition without making Partition Magic think that
the partition table is corrupt? Creating a partition with Linux fdisk
won't do. That leaves the entire disk "bad" to Partition Magic and
results in fdisk for OS/2, DOS and Win95 useless even for the other hard
drive. All three fail to come up once you've used Linux fdisk to create
a partition.
Then you do something wrong
I have absolutely no problem with any DOS/Win98/WinNT on partitiontables
created
solely with the help of linux' fdisk. (I don't have OS/2, but it should not
be different)
You must however take in consideration that PM is very strict on what is
allowed in
a partition table. As long as you stick to those restrictions, you're OK.
Usually it's just so that different CHS values are used. Check what PM uses,
and verify
that linux thinks the same. If not, don't use linux fdisk.
If they are equal, use cfdisk (instead of fdisk).
Eric
PM documentation says for error #120: "This error occurs under some OSs when
logical partitions are not chained together in the expected order. DOS, OS/2,
Windows 95, and Windows NT require that logical partitions be chained together
in ascending order. ... Some versions of Linux FDISK utility chain logical
partitions together in the order they are created..." Note particularly "Some
versions." Perhaps your version is different.

Just one thing,
I checked one of your old posts,
lilo.conf had *no* entry for a 2.4 kernel.
You are aware of that?
(I know you said it is the default option, but please check again)
So: Are you sure the new kernel is at /vmlinuz
c'n'p
lilo.conf:
verbose=3
delay = 50
boot=/dev/sdb1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
root=/dev/sdb1
prompt
default=default
# the default kernel image to use
image=/vmlinuz
label=default
read-only
# the stable kernel image to use
image=/vmlinuz-2.2.14
label=linux
read-only
# A test kernel
image=/vmlinuz-2.2.14-new
label=test
read-only
# End lilo.conf
The entire chain must be correct.
If you link several bootloaders in a chain, it's hard to say where it
goes
wrong.
I have another idea for you, if you can, try to change the boot-order.
See if you can boot linux directly, without the intervention from
another OS's bootloader.
How do I do that?
Change the boot order in the BIOS.
Set it to boot from the linux disk.
You're sure that you're looking at the right LILO code (not the old
code)?
When you install the new kernel, you get "no setup signature found"
When exactly does this message appear?
I've tried the latest lilos I could find and compiled them
from source. I've thinking about trying an RPM or something
just to see if my compiler setup is wierd. Most things I compile
all work fine though, and the lilo compile and install goes fine.
At least no compilation errors are reported.
Then I doubt that's the problem.
Any of the other linux-kernel images still are bootable, right
The last lilo I've installed is 21.7. I have had many lilo versions
installed on that disk. As I indicated in a previous post, this
disk has had Linux on it for quite a while.
What happens is I get OS/2 Bootmanager. I pick the "LINUX" selection.
At that point LILO starts up and I get the LILO "GUI" with the three
kernel selections. I pick the option for the 2.4.x kernel which is
default. Then I get something like this:
LILO
Loading default.
... no setup signature found.
Then the system hangs. I'm not sure of the exact number of dots.
You're done with LILO.
It looks like the kernel image itself has a problem.
It is odd though that it does boot at another system.
Does that system have the same physical setup?
Perhaps you should try to run `badblocks` on hdb.
I really don't know what the message means, but you I can
tell it comes from the kernel
/bootstrings vmlinuz |grep setup
No setup signature found ...
/usr/src/linuxfind . -type f -exec grep -wi "setup signature" {}
\; -a -print
no_sig_mess:.ascii "No setup signature found ..."
! Setup signature -- must be last
./arch/i386/boot/setup.S
no_sig_mess:.ascii "No setup signature found ..."
! Setup signature -- must be last
./arch/i386/boot/bsetup.s
Binary file ./arch/i386/boot/bsetup.o matches
./arch/i386/boot/bsetup.o
Binary file ./arch/i386/boot/bsetup matches
./arch/i386/boot/bsetup
Binary file ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage matches
./arch/i386/boot/bzImage
(PS. this is for a 2.2.x kernel, maybe things changed for 2.4, but it
appears to be a check,
to verify that a correct kernel is loaded)
I don't know how to solve this, but i'd try the next thing:
run a `make mrproper`
**beware the .config file is removed! You will need to run the entire
configuration again**
then rebuild your kernel again, and try that new kernel.

But why do companies centralize around particular distributions when
there are plenty of people willing to repackage for other distributions?
I imagine it is because some companies are unwilling to give out their
source code that may well include full pathnames, and cannot be
bothered to support more than one distribution, so they pick the one
that they perceive to have the largest number of users that are likely
to want to use their product.
Alternatively, perhaps not all distributions follow the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard perfectly, and they cannot bother to deal with all
the differences.
In almost all cases, distribution (as opposed to kernel or library)
dependencies are in the installation script, or the packaging they
used, as opposed to the actual program (which is often made for many
different UNIX systems, so is generally fairly portable in the core).
I know in some cases, though, the differences in the libraries cause
the problem. When trying to run IBM DB2 UDB V6.1, it would work on the
glibc-2.1.1 version, but would put several of the servers into an
infinite loop with the glibc-2.1.3 version so Linux would not even
boot up (because DB2 is started in /etc/rc.d/init.d). IBM claimed that
this was due to a bug in Red Hat's version of glibc-2.1.3 and IBM put
out a service pack that could be installed to overcome this. The
service pack is a download of over 100 megabytes and it sure took a
long time to download over my 56.6K dial-up connection. Even then,
there were a lot of difficulties, since the service pack could not be
installed until the older version of DB2 was installed, and it could
not be installed because of the bug, so you had to do a lot of
monkey-motion to partly install the old version of DB2 and then
install the fix-pack.
I imagine IBM would not have wished to do that with more than one
distribution.
Is it because they made some deal with the people at Redhat to be able
to call them up if they get stuck on some issue? I can see that at some
small software house that can't afford to hire a couple Linux experts.
But Oracle? I guess Larry made his billions by being stingy.
I never tried Oracle, but I used to work for a large company that made
computers, and large software systems (UNIX OS for various machines, C
compilation system (compilers, libraries, run-time packages), ditto
for C++, etc.) and it was really tough, even though we presumably had
THE authoritative authors of those things working for us, just getting
the stuff to work for the machines we built ourselves and the others
we used in house, and for our own distributions. The problems with all
the different versions of the UNIX OS (there were 12 of our own that
we had to support at one time) were probably the biggest problem
(other than our marketing ineptitude) in making the UNIX OS a viable
commercial product. Several times we tried to reconcile all the
different versions of the UNIX OS into just one or two, and we never
really succeeded. We tried to do that again with the Berkeley,

I would guess at least 40GB, depending on the degree of compression
you can achieve. In my experience, things like jpeg files do not
compress much if at all, binary files (i.e., programs) compress quite
poorly, databases do not compress well, and ordinary text files
compress very well, so it depends on what you are doint.
Are there better compression tools I could
use?
There probably are not any unless you are prepared to write a very
sophisticated compressor that can deal with the specific files you are
dealing with. That is seldom worth the trouble.
I use a tape drive that can optionally compress in hardware. That way,
I can use any tape writing program I choose to gather and organize the
backup files. If money is no object, get the BRU backup software
package, but if money matters, I suggest you seriously consider find
(man find) to get the files you want, and cpio (man cpio) to write
them onto the tape. I would avoid tar as there are too many problems
with error recovery.
I know the size of the compressed archive is highly dependent, but
even rough ideas would be fine.
Thanks.
While I'm at it, anyone have any luck with network attached storage and

I never tried it. I use nfs a little bit on my LAN (two machines), but

I found a program called masqidentd that was supposed to solve the problem,
but it doesn't seem to work (Can't remember the error msg it generates, but it

It seems reasonable that an auth request would NOT normally get forwarded,
since it's not originated by a machine behind the firewall (ie it's a request,
not a reply). For example, if you had httpd running on a machine behind the
firewall, an http request would not be forwarded to it (right?).
Not that I know anything about identd, though...

I have noticed some popular IRC servers that are broken. I run identd as

In terms of identd, just make sure port 113 is open.

Have you though of setting up a perl script, which could then be run via the

perl can access the db, and can be made to analyse just about anything, some
major companies happen to use it for checking their data for fraud, and
today i just found out from slashdot that their is a 7 kline piece of perl
that will decode DVD CSS encryption (perhaps an insult to the term

perl could do it nicely. but you will have to write it yourself. but you can

for suggestions on how to do this? Is there any Linux application
available (free or not) that could automatically get data from a mySQL
DB, or any other data source which I could produce using PHP/mySQL, and
then do a series of computation, returning the results in my DB or in
some other way...?
Looks complicated, and I'm open to every suggestions! :)
Thank you,
Guillaume.Boudreau

Let's see... mmm... ps -Ao fname,vsz |grep tclsh... pmap 6514...

Looks like between 250 and 300 Kb for each new interp on both
Linux and Solaris. The rest is .so's.

It depends on whether you already have an interpreter already present.
The overhead for a separate interpreter within an already-running
process is pretty small...
Thanks, Donal. You've answered a question that I wanted to ask. :-)
Can you just explain a little bit on the term "already-running
process" please?
Does it means within same shell, or same user or same X system...?
