What's the command that turns the results of make into, say, an rpm? Thanks, Michael From memory, that depends on the version of RPM you have installed, if this is an older version (ie: Red Hat = 7.3, not sure about 8.0) then try the following: rpm -tb /path/to/something-cool.tar.gz If it's a newer version (ie: Red Hat 9) then it's: rpmbuild -tb /path/to/something-cool.tar.bz2 If you want binary AND source rpms then change the -tb to -ta. If you need to pass different or special build-time options then you'll have to unpack the tarballs and edit the spec file(s) (something-cool.spec) and then either re-pack them again or just move a copy of the tarball to to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ and a copy of the spec file to/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/, then cd to the SPECS directory and issue this at the CLI: rpm -bb --target=i686 something-cool.spec (assuming your machine IS an i686 - if not, then change it match your platform or leave the--target= out).

[ SCO ] Darl McBride's Letter to Open Source Community
What a dweeb! http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/09/09/1327245 snip - by Darl McBride - The most controversial issue in the information technology industry today is the ongoing battle over software copyrights and intellectual property. This battle is being fought largely between vendors who create and sell proprietary software, and the Open Source community. My company, the SCO Group, became a focus of this controversy when we filed a lawsuit against IBM alleging that SCO's proprietary UNIX code has been illegally copied into the free Linux operating system. In doing this, we angered some in the Open Source community by pointing out obvious intellectual property problems that exist in the current Linux software development model. snip -- Myles Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] Slackware-9.1pre + IceWM-1.2.12 + Sylpheed-0.9.4 -- Alberta Mirror Linux-SxS.org http://linux-sxs.org/ ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: System Drag

I run no outside services - this is purely a desktop system. However, as I intendto play with it (when I get time), I chose the INSTALL ALL option. Following an uneventful install, I used the Redhat Up2date manager to update all versions and patches. Twice I had my ISP network fail duringthis process, nevertheless I did manage to finally get all the packages pulled down and installed. However, since that time I have noticed network transactions, particularly web page loading to be very sluggish.On a hunch I checked and found that when pulling down web pages my CPU rate hits 100% and in some cases stays at that level for the 10-15 seconds it takes to load the page. This is unusual, as I am on 3.0Mbs broadband DSL, with about 2.0 - 2.5 actual. Memory usage is high, but not into swap. I checked background process in all runlevels and found nothing unusual,except that for some reason sendmail was active in runlevels 3, 4 and 5. I have disabled that. I also disabled the firewall, but the differencewas minimal. The router shows no unusual volume or activity. And I can see no obvious unusual entries in my boot or system logs. Any suggestions, folks? -- burns Hi Burns, I found that installing RH9 cured the problems I experienced with RH8, which were very similar to what you describe. IMHO, RH8 was like the typical RH x.0 release and RH9 behaves more like a RHx.1 or x.2 release. IOW, RH9~=RH8.2.

I tried it out here and liked it because it detected and set up everything that was plugged in and/or turned on during the install - it even picks up newly attached or detached devices (at least on startup/reboot). You will likely need to find and install certain multimedia packages (mp3 players, video players, etc.) but, being Red Hat, the binaries are never far away or hard to find.

For now, I'm only announcing this to this list since we still need to get our ducks in a row before announcing it publicly. In chatting with Wade, we talked about how best to organize the new project to ensure that all areas are covered. I suggested that we organize it by function, which would mean categories like: * installation * configuration * administration * documentation Those are simply example categories. The goal is to ensure that all *major* aspects of running Gentoo in a server environment are accounted for. That seems to align with the ideas that have been discussed here on the list so far. Your comments are, of course, welcome. I'll be the project admin, at least for now. Wade expressed some concern about the amount of time that I'll have for this project. As I told Wade, this project aligns more closely with my personal interests and I've already informed the management team that I'll be withdrawing from my responsibilities as PR manager and (interim) Portage manager. Going forward, I will be focusing on Infrastructure and this project. Right now, Wade is the only other member of the project. We need to change that. :) If you're interested in participating, please contact either myself or (for a faster response) Wade at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please include a general description of what area(s) you are interested in helping out with and what skills you can bring to the table. --kurt Enjoy!

And the RH manuals are quite good for the most part. But 98% of the stuff in the in the older manuals will still apply and the rest can be gleaned from the online RH docs. I still use my RH 7.3 books when fiddling with RH 9.0. Of course, he can download the documentation for older versions also: all of the manuals should be available as .rpm files. They might be available as an .iso image called the documentation CD, if he can find an older ftp site, but I think that they were also available as individual files. As an aside, this is the second comment this morning on this list about which distro to use when learning Linux. It used to be (even up to last year) that for those who wanted to REALLY, REALLY learn Linux were pointed towards Slackware as so much of it had to be set up manually via configuration files --- which was considered to be a good learning experience. Of course, one problem with this is that Slackware uses the BSD-style init scripts, and uses the .tgz package manager so that those using it as a learning tool would not get the knowledge of the Sys V init setup and .rpm that seems to have become the de facto standard for Linux distributions. But has Red Hat really become so dominant that it is now the standard when it comes to learning Linux? And more importantly to me, when I dump RH 7.3 at the end of the year from RH not supporting it any more and go back to Slackware, will I someday be the only Slackware user left in the world? g Nope. I use it here as well, starting w/ Slackware 3.2 (or was it 3.4?). Oh, I venture off to check out other distros once in a while, but I just gotta have my Slackware.

Look at it this way - if YOU don't have to be bothered with security measures etc., then what chance do you have of keeping someone from taking over your box(en) and using it/them to attack other systems. THis is a Bad Thing (tm) as the authorities then come gunning for YOU not 'them'. but hey! they're your boxes...

Hi Per, I ended up scouring the manufacturer's website for info on Linux support and found (eventually) that there is a Linux-specific BIOS for that motherboard (Shuttle AK35GT2R Socket A).

Hardare RAID (0+1) and Linux (Slackware 8.1).
I'm trying to set up a server to replace the system currently hosting my mirror of linux-sxs.org and have run into a problem that currently has me stumped. Here's a list of the hardware invloved: Case - Chieftech 26 full tower MoBo - Shuttle AK35GT2R w/ onboard HighPoint 370/372 RAID controler CPU - Athlon XP 1800+ RAM - 2 GB Samsung DDR PC2700 (4 x 512MB) HDD - 4 x Maxtor 40GB ATA 133 (Liquid) CDROM- LG 52x Floppy - Panasonic 1.44 MB Video - Nvidia TNT2 M64 32MB VRAM NIC - D-Link DFE-538TX/R 10/100 I can create a RAID 0+1 setup in the HighPoint BIOS if, and only if, I leave the drives jumpered as 'cable select'. If I try to jumper them manually it can only see the two slave drives - incorrectly identified as having 70+ GB capacity. Slackware has a bootdisk with the correct drivers for the HighPoint chipset which boots up fine and then asks for the 'root disk' (which is actually a set of 5 floppies labeled install.1, install.2 etc.), then I get to select the keyboard and login as root but after that, all I get is screenfulls of scrolling hexidecimal (?) numbers. Anybody seen this or have any suggestions? I'm all ears...
