Some of them are pretty severe. A friend of mine spent a

More information, please. And is this RedHat 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2? Anyway,
under RedHat Linux, things work like so: The machine starts up in
runlevel 5 (X enabled) and displays a graphical login window using gdm,
kdm, or xdm. You specify a username, a password, and a preferred
session type (GNOME, KDE1, KDE2, fvwm2, fvwm95, blackbox, etc) and you
get that particular window manager/desktop environment until you log
out, at which point the xdm/kdm/gdm screen comes up again. This is
normal behavior... what precisely do you want?

I have been using RH7 for a while now and I'm working my way through all the

BUGS yet, but there are a number of things that are different in it from previous
releases. Since I have been running Linux for a couple of years now, it throws me
when lots of things get moved around and things I used to know don't work any
more. There seems to be a lot of that In RH7.
I guess that's why they named it version 7.0, instead of version 6.x.

I have found in what little use I have had with Corel that there is little
or almost no bugs in the OS. However Redhat has a few too many I don't wish
to deal with. I am looking for something I can understand and grasp easy. So
far this one for me seems to work however everything is expendable.
Then try Mandrake Linux 7.2. Easy to install, manage upgrade based
on RedHat distribution plus enhancements. It's particulary good the
multilanguage support. And it's not as buggy aas RedHat 7.0

All kernels of the 2.2.x series use kmod instead, which is a kernel

Subject: cron did not run, why?
Date: Fri, 01 Dec 2000 16:24:52 GMT
I wanted to make a simple backup routine to back up nightly. My crontab
file looks like:
45 23 * * * /root/backup_script
Of course, this was a test on a local system with no other users. I
plan to put a similar script into /usr/local/bin (I don't mind regular
users running the backup script). I used "crontab crontab" and crontab -
l looks fine. It was actually 23:35 when I set it, so it was supposed
to run in ten minutes. I logged out of root and left it alone. When I
came back (0:05), the backups tars were not to be found. But after
searching for it (not in root), I heard the hard drive move and to my
surprise, the backups were made. So I'm wondering why my cron command
didn't run at the specified time. I ran "date" to make sure that my
linux box was set properly.
Since I ran it as root, it certainly doesn't have to wait until root
logged in. Did my computer go into suspend mode or something? If so,
how am I supposed to prevent it from suspending on real machines? Or
did it need time to register the new cron file (since it eventually ran
the script)? Any help...even guesses...will help.

Thanks for your input Mary. I had tried this a number of times already. What

that we could use Linux as a proxy server for internet access, so they
allowed me to setup one machine to act as a proxy. I managed to set it
up as a HTTP proxy, but do not know how to set it up to pick all the
users' mail from the remote mailbox, and distribute it to each user's pc
when requested. Or to send outgoing messages from user's pc via the
Linux server.
Do I have to setup proxy server settings on the client pc's? All pc's

Nonsense, you still have the choice of using C++. You should be able to
write a driver in C++ for Linux. A loadable module is just a slab of
machine code and data. As long as it behaves right and doesn't ask for any
symbols that the kernel can't give it, it's fine.
So for example if you wanted to use, say, C++ exception handling in your
driver, you would have to provide your own run-time support for it within that
object, since the kernel wouldn't resolve your undefined reference to
things like __throw() . Adding this support would take some work, so you
might opt for doing without the feature.

For Kde i think if you read the documentation on the kde website you can
use the redhat 5.x rpms for kde but you must uninstall the pre - release
rpms that you currently have on your system.
personally I would use Gnome instead, I used to use Kde but having used

go into linux fdisk. Type 't' (change partition id). Enter the relevant
partition and change its id to 7 (type 'l' to get a list of partition
ids). Exit fdisk with writing changes ('w') and try to mount under
linux. If Windows actually overwrote the whole superblock then this
won't work. If hpfs has a redundant superblock thing like ext2, than you
could find a way to get the whole thing copied. You could use 'dd' for
this.

I installed WIN95 :-(.
Win95 made of a HPFS partion a Fat Partition, that means
it declared it as a FAT-Partition. So, I can't access it form
WIN95, because the FAT Data are HPFS Data, from OS2 there is a FAT
Marker at the beginning , so Partitionmagic say it is HPFS , but I can
access it from there.
With Linux I tried to mount it with -t hpfs and -o nocheck
so Linux says the the superblock is wrong.
I have PTS Diskeditor, were I can change the relevant Sektor, but I
don't know what has to be written in this superblock.
Does anybody know an answer.
Thanks for any idea

Subject: installation problem on dual PII system
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 17:36:50 GMT
Hi all,
I'm trying to setup Linux on a dual PII system with only SCSI devices.
But early in the boot process my system hangs: the welcome message
appears were i can type boot parameters. The boot then continues i see
the Bogo MIPS rating and some other messages but stops after the
messages about the IDE device. My IDE device is properly recognized,
the message that it's disabled (BIOS) is also correct but the boot
process stops here.
I read the bootprompt howto and tried the following coomands at the
boot: prompt:
linux idex=noprobe hdx=none
linux ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe
linux ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe aic7xxx=extended
In all situations i keep getting messages about the ide device, which
gives me the feeling that these commands are ignored! Am i making a
mistake here???
This happens with both Redhat 5.1 and Suse 6.0 (with the latest
aic7xxx image from their website). I have an Asus P2-97DS board with
two PII 266 CPU's.
I have a few questions:
What should be happening directly after the message about the disabled
IDE device? SCSI recognition? Or is it still checking the ide
devices?
What can i try to get past this point?

Subject: rvplayer doesn't work after kernel 2.2 upgrade
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 15:23:05 GMT
Hello,
Has anyone else had this problem?
After upgrading my kernel to 2.2 (I
went to first 2.2.1 now 2.2.3)
rvplayer doesn't work.
The utility starts up no problem but
when I try to play any rm file I
get:
audio: write error: 384 bytes
errno: 0
in the shell that spawned it. The
pluggin doesn't work either. My sb
16 card is otherwise working fine.
Most of my audio utilities can still
play through the soundcard. I've
upgraded my entire system to be a
full Redhat 5.2 and mod_utils I
upgraded to the latest version.
Could I be missing a library or a
compile option?
If anyone has any ideas how this can
be solved, any help would be much
appreciated.
Thanks
