Hey, anybody can spare 50 meg of space to store this stuff in some
unreadable format! I'm going to set it to keep 0 newest messages and dump
messages older than 15 days and see if saves any space
was: 50,048 (keep messages which have arrived within the past 30 days)
is: 50,200 (keep 0 newest messages)
Hrm. An increase. Frightening. So whenever you try and take out the
trash it will punish me by adding to it? Moreover, just about everything
(view all messages) has disappeared, even though the files in xover-cache
are as huge (huger, actually) as they ever were.

How do you prevent file ownership changing and group membership changing
on a file when it is written to by someone other than the orginal writter.
New person has permission to write from belonging to the group of the
writer besides his own group. When he writes it changes the orginal
ownership and group to new one and stops orginal writer from having access.

Since each of these has a process-id, I do not see how you can say
they are part of the kernel; this is not a Microsoft system. top,
pstree, and ps report them all as though they were processes. Those
tools that list their swap status list them as swapped.
Are you saying that all these tools are wrong by listing them as
separate processes? How did they fabricate process identifiers?

To sum up the problem I'm having, LILO just won't see the Mylex 170 RAID
card that I'm trying to get working. When I do a lilo -T geom, it doesn't
show up. However, DOS's fdisk is able to see the drive, and DOS will boot
off of it just fine, leading me to believe that despite the lack of output
from LILO, it really is registering itself as a BIOS drive. I am using the
latest version of LILO, which supposedly has support for the Mylex 170. If
anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear about them. Come on, SOMEONE
must have made one of these things work before!

In the Laptops like this often there is an option in the BIOS of the machine to
select the OS which has been installed in the machine. You probably need to go
in the BIOS and select the proper selection from the dropdown menu and then
install Linux again. Hopefully this will do.
Good Luck!

Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 20:10:02 +0100
Hi,
I have resently changed the motherboard on a Linux machine, but when I tried
to boot the machine it only came as far as "LI" and froze.
I thought, well maybe it has something to do with the kernel not compiled to
the new
processor type so I booted the system from the cdroms (I use Suse 7.0 kernel
2.2.16) and
compiled the kernel (and modules) to the new cpu type. Running LILO and
booting again
just froze the system once more displaying "LI". In the Suse manual I have
read that
it could have something to do with geometry mismatch or because of a moved
/boot/boot.b.
I checked the harddisk specs in the motherboard BIOS and compared it to the
old specs on
the old motherboard and it was exactly the same.
I then removed (uninstalled) LILO completely from the system and installed
it again. Again
without any change.
When changing the motherboard I made no other changes to the system.
At the moment I have booted the system using the Suse boot cd's and from
there booted the
installed system on the harddisk. Everything is running as usual, but not
being able to boot the
machine without the cd's is terrible.
If anyone has any idears to what the problem could be, and how to solve it,
please forward the info.
I Use SuSE 7.0
The old system: AMD K6-2 350MHz.
"New" system: PII MMX 300MHz.
All the old hardware (nic, vga card etc.) is the same.
Thanks in advance

I am also running XDM on the linux box. I would like to be able

It is absolutely normal. Linux attempts to be very intelligent with its memory
allocation. If programs do not need the physical memory, Linux will allocate
the remaining bit for buffers and cache (assists the filesystem in handing out data.

Red Hat's setup does attempt to detect the monitor. However, it's not always
accurate because 1) your video card is masking the DDC ID of your monitor 2)
your monitor is not in the aging database. Also, detection of the monitor has
nothing to do with how X displays information on the screen (graphically) -
it attempts to configure X so that your refresh rates and resolution are
compliant with the capabilities of your monitor. It sounds to me more like
a video card driver problem. Which X-server are you running (e.g. what video
card do you have?)

Read the docs in /usr/src/linux/Documentation.
In particular the Changes one.
Especially the section labelled PPP.
This tells you what needs to be in yor /etc/modules.conf file for ppp
in a 2.4 kernel.
(And since you should now be running an up to date modutils you can
make the section conditional on it being a 2.4 kernel, just in case you
also boot 2.2 ones).

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested and although
ldconfig -v reports libjpeg.so.6 in the directories /opt/kde/lib/gnulibc1
and /usr/lib/gnulibc1 afterstep still reports that it can't locate the
library.
What does the line /opt/kde/lib/gnulibc1=libc5 mean?
Thanks,
Martin.

Hi,
I've just noticed that according to "top" although I have 136512k allocated
as swap
0k is in use.
Is this normal?
Thanks,
Martin.

If you have enough physical memory, is normal that the swap is not
used.

Reboot your machine, when "LILO" is displayed type linux 1 or linux
single, this will bring you in single-user mode. At that point, you
are root. Use passwd to change the root password. Use init 3 or init 5
to hop into normal-user-mode.

There is some compilation problem in the redhat 6.x rpms from kde.org.
It cannot recognize oss or alsa sound drivers.
You need to download the kdesupport and kdelibs src.rpms to compile the
kdesupport, kdelibs, kdelibs-sound and arts rpms for yourself.
Then apply these newly generated rpms again.
I wish these can help people who face the same problem.
Thanks for the internet resource!

Subject: Help for kernel 2.4.2!
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 18:51:16 +0800
I have compiled the 2.4.2 kernel and applied ppp-2.4.0 to for my RH6.1
linux box.
But as I connect my linux box to internet with modem.
It said that ppp support is not included in my kernel or loaded as
module.
As I try to modprobe ppp, ppp1 or ppp0, it said that ppp cannot be
found.
Then what I should include in kernel configuration to include ppp
support?
Thanks for your concern!

Thank you everybody, I worked it out with some help from a useful post in a
hardware newsgroup on CD's.
Nero - Nero wil try to launch a CD writing wizard. This wizard removes the
option to "Burn Image" from the File menu list. Cancel the wizard and then
the Burn Image option is back in the list. There is no mention of this in
the Nero help file - Nero ver 4.0.5.0. Nero is now on version 5 so maybe
this has been addressed.
The version of Nero that I have came with my Creative CD-RW package. No
doubt there are thousands of other people out there having this same
problem - Creative are probably one of the biggest sellers of CD-RW
solutions, at least in the UK.
Thanks again everyone for offering your suggestions and time, you are
appreciated.
Regards.

Don't be such an ass.
All it says on Tucows and SuSE and RedHat is that you "burn the ISO file to
a CD". It does not say that "burning" is different to copying. To a newbie
"burn" would appear to be slang for "writing files to a CD". I have often
heard people say "burn a backup onto a CD", which meant copy the backup
files on to a CD.
Peter if you are not capable of providing a helpful answer please don't feel
so impotent that you have be derogatory. Just because you don't know the
answer doesn't mean that you are stupid and useless, but by sending idiotic
replies this does prove that you are indeed quite useless and a waste of
space.
Regards.
