Mike, I think you'd have to do that with a loop. Loops can be entered on the command line but you may be better off to write it into a script file. But first, note that you can do the

Setting the tape as unit 0 makes the tape map to /dev/nst0 (no auto rewind) and /dev/st0 (auto rewind). Once booted and before loading any modules I put a blank tape in the drive, logged in as root and typed mt -f /dev/nst0 status and the system told me all about the SCSI controller and the drive, including the fact that it had a tape in it. ' tar cvf /dev/nst0 /home' worked immediately :-)) The bottom line is that on my rig installing a DAT tape was much simpler than I'd expected.

I don't know if this may be your problem, but one that a few people fall into is putting their HDD on the same IDE port as their CDROM. Having a CD drive on the same IDE port/cable can (not always) slow down HDD data transfer considerably. It is often best to have HDD at /dev/hda and CD drive at /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. __ I'm far too young to be this old. __ -- From: "Shippy!" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: OpenSSH on Mandrake 7.1 Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 17:36:00 -0600 I'm running OpenSSH v2.1 on my machine and I'm getting the following error when trying to connect to my machine: Bad remote protocol version identification: 'sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

I had basically the same problem you are having when I used Disk Druid from RedHat v6.1 to create partitions. When I created them manually using fdisk, I was able to assign them and install just fine. -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (C.J.) Subje
