1. i doubt that this is a fundamental concept. in general i would advise
against such a practice (though it might be ok on occasion)
2. how do you arrive at the (wrong) conclusion that it doesn't? it just
isn't called FORMAT (try mkfs., most likely
mke2fs)

you came to the right place, but as i said before, without having done any
research just asking would have been the better attitude

in unix systems you have a few other ways to do it as well (though you might

i wish i could, but that seems to presuppose that i know where exactly
that partition started and ended.
the table roughly looke like this before: [hda = 240heads / 63 sect /
1754 cyl]
hda1 6gig vfat (primary)
hda2 2.5gig ext2 (extended - contained hda5-7)
hda3 2.5gig ufs (extended/slice)
hda4 900meg ext2 (primary
hda5 /boot i think, 15meg
hda6 swap, 42meg
hda7 / 2.5gig
i am not totally sure about the order in extended hda2.
hda5 might have been swap, or /.
now i only got this:
hda1 4.2gig vfat (primary)
the file i am looking for is in the old hda7 (or / anyway).
so it can not have been overwritten.
after the partitions were busted by windows (i actually think scandisk
did it, cause it complained a whole lot, and thought i tried installing
win on a NTFS, error: SU0013) i removed them all in fdisk in linux.
why? because fdisk said that all partitions did not end on cylinder
boundary.
about hda2 it said: phys=(0, 13, 10) should be phys=(0, 239, 63)
how is phys interpreted?
so i tried running findpart.
'findpart all' and 'findpart 1' gives same output:

as you see it only finds one thing in addition to hda1.

It seems as the Linux partitions might have been made using a 255
heads or 16 heads translation, since they were not found so far. Next

0.49.13 comes with a slang version called "sfte". It isn't compiled by
default, you have to edit the TARGETS line in ~/src/fte-unix.mak. Seems
to work ok on the console, with the PuTTY telnet client for Windows, and
in a kvt (with the exception of c-pgup and c-pgdn not working) but the
keybindings get funky in an xterm (hint: alt -> esc).
You can change the font and get a smaller window for the xlib version by
editing main.fte and recompiling the configuration.
>and changing the default colours was a nightmare, I gave up with it
>in the end.
There are three pre-built setups and it is pretty easy to switch between
them. A full custom thing would be harder though. Not having an online
configuration maker is a bit of a pain but I don't normally fiddle with
that stuff too much once I get something reasonable set up.
I'm still playing around with it (downloaded when I saw the previous post)
so don't yet have a good feel for how well it will hold up over the long
term. But it is in fact pretty easy to get started with for DOS/Win
converts due to the CUA-style default key bindings and menus, so it'll
probably end up staying on my system for that reason alone.

Try the latest version of jed (0.99-8), which supports drop-down

The actual error message woudl be helpful.
However - one quick check. Did you set the "memory-model" parameter
in the second(?) screen on "make xconfig" (to 1GB or 2GB)? Without it
you will get errors about PAGE_OFFSET definitions.

I have a tape backup at /dev/st0 - I performed a backup using the tar
program, and the output was saved properly to the device. When I try to TAR
another directory, it seems that the first tar file on the tape backup disk
is erased? Is that how it's suppose to work? DO I have to append the first
tar files when adding new backups to the tape drive?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Been here, done this, got the three hours it took me to figure this out.
Get into the Adaptec utility (on boot up) and take the target for the
Yamaha down to 20 bps.
It cannot handle the Ultra, wide, etc SCSI calls that the SCSI
controller can.
Write me if you have further questions on this or if this makes no
sense. I'll try to write a cleaner step-by-step version.

If this wasn't so badly written and so full of stupid mistakes, I'd never
have noticed the trolling.
At least the length of the post (a lot more than the usual "Linux suxx
bigtime, why don't you leave Mr Gates alone.") shows that somewhere,
someone is getting more and more worried about Linux - which is good.

Actually if you use ip with the -a option, it tries to keep as much of
the structure as possible. It worked for me, when I moved to a new
drive.

Please show me where this is located in the FAQ. I'm looking at the FAQ
posted at http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html, and I don't see any question that
has to do with actually running the compiler.

Because the people I'm "polling" don't have anything in common except
for the fact that they happen to know who I am (many are not what I
would call 'friends' either.) They come from all sides of the political
debate. They are both rich and poor. They are both local and remote.
The only way Clinton could have such high approval ratings that don't
match with this by a fluke - a random roll of the dice that just so
happened to make it so that I only see those people who are in the
minority. It's possible, but not likely. Also, this is not the first
such poll that has given unrealistic results, so there's a history of
distrust at work here too. Another possibility, and one I have personally
participated in (by filling out a survey and watching the results later),
is when the pollsters ask one question, and then say somethi
