Re: [newbie] Removing a full directory via command line
Just because I can't help myself, RTFM! OPTIONS -d, --directory Remove directories with `unlink' instead of `rmdir', and don't require a directory to be empty before trying to unlink it. Only works for the super-user. Because unlinking a directory causes any files in the deleted directory to become unreferenced, it is wise to fsck the filesystem after doing this. -f, --force Ignore nonexistent files and never prompt the user. -i, --interactive Prompt whether to remove each file. If the response does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped. -r, -R, --recursive Remove the contents of directories recursively. -v, --verbose All of which is located in the manpage, on your machine. But I will add some remarks to what other people have said. In your .shellrc there are some "dummy aliases." And there is one for rm in there. Of which most people think having, is a really good idea. Even those that are extremely comfortable with command line operating and would prefer to do work that way, leave that in there. Because you can type the correct command, but in the wrong directory. For example, you want to delete your Netscape cache, so you type: rm -R * But if you're not in $HOME/.netscape, but you're in $HOME/ then you've just created a really bad day for yourself if you haven't backed up your system very recently! So I would suggest leaving the alias in your .shellrc file for safety, and those half asleep nights when you're trying to do something before heading to bed. tdh T.

[newbie] RH 6 src.rpm for Mozilla 0.8.1 -- URL!
Dear friends: If you would like to download the Red Hat 6 src.rpm file for the recent Mozilla 0.8.1 of March 26 (compatible with LM72), go to: http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/software/RH6/SRPMS/ The exact name of the file is: mozilla-0.8.1-1.src.rpm 06-Apr-2001 02:10 29.9M This will allow you to rebuild the src.rpm as your own full suite of mozilla files (mozilla, mozilla-psm, mozilla-mail, mozilla-developer). If you have an AMD K6-2 as I do, you will be able to rebuild the RH file as i586 files. I have been told that performance should dramatically improve and you should (I hope) have no error messages. To rebuild the src.rpm file and produce the four or five mozilla rpms, type in xterm as root: #rpm --rebuild mozilla-0.8.1-1.src.rpm Be prepared to tak a LONG break. It will take a good two hours or more to rebuild the RH source file. I mention this partly because, in spite of assurance to the contrary, the Texstar rpm version of mozilla 0.8.1 (rebuilt from the Cooker directory, which uses rpm version 4) yielded the error messages: "runtime mismatch, so leaking context." I am not a programmer, just an ordinary user, but when I tried to use the Texstar mozilla 0.8.1, it repeatedly crashed or froze. I was very unhappy and went right back to mozilla 0.8 (also available on the Texstar site -- and the 0.8 version worked very well). You might wish to bookmark the Red Hat site for future versions of Mozilla, especially the long-awaited upcoming "recommended beta" version .9 and, then, of course, version 1.0.

[newbie] Need help installing 2 NICs
I'm setting up a firewall system for a DSL connection using 7.1. I'm using 2 identical ISA NE2000 comp. cards. Win98, on the same machine, recognizes both of them and sets them okay. I'm assuming I have to get Linux to recognize these before I can assign them as eth0 and eth1. The installer wouldn't recognize them (although I did try). How do I go about doing this?

Re: [newbie] Alan - Help, I can't take it anyore. Trying KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.01
In my experience and humble opinion, Upgrades are always evil! It either doesn't add something, or it's unstable. I've tried this with many OS's, meanwhile Windows is the worst at this, but I did upgrade 7.1 to 7.2 and it burped or something because it wouldn't read my .bashrc. The system would function, but I had to source my .aliases and other files in order to read them. After I just reinstalled, everything worked fine. That machine's been up ever since. [timh@yoda timh]$ uptime 9:36am up 54 days, 9:41, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 What I do suggest, is to install /home on a different partition, or drive all together if at a possible. So when you do reinstall the system, you don't format /home so the user directories are only updated with new info that's needed. So you will be able to keep your aliases and .*rc files for various apps you've already used and configured. From there you just have to install some of the software you installed before you did the new install. I also install a developmental workstation because it tosses in a lot of extra libs and what not. I don't have many problems with getting errors on the depancies when I do that. But my first machine was a workstation and I would get those depandency errors all the time. So there's my $.02, and I can make change! lol tdh T.

[newbie] DiskDrake w/ PartitionMagic
I recently installed Linux-Mandrake 7.2 on a machine that already had a single Windows Me partition on a 60G IBM hard drive. Although I'd already purchased a copy of PartitionMagic (v. 6.0) I wanted to put Mandrake through its paces, so I used DiskDrake to reduce the size of the FAT32 partition and to create my new Gnu/Linux partitions (1 swap, 3 ext2). After installing PartitionMagic I used it to split up my Windows partition (going from a single FAT32 partition to four FAT32 parti- tions). This worked fine. PartitionMagic doesn't see the Gnu/Linux partitions, however. It displays them as one big contiguous "Type 85" partition. Naturally I haven't tried doing anything with this via PM. Other than this, everything's working fine. Both the Me and Gnu/ Linux sides are booting (using Grub) and running properly -- but I *would* like to be able to manage my Gnu/Linux partitions with PM. I should point out that all of the Gnu/Linux stuff is at the end of the partition map, well beyond the 1024-cylinder frontier. Anyone know what might be going on? Thanks Mark Shaw

Re: [newbie] RH6 Mozilla src.rpm fails
I must sadly report that my attempt to rebuild the RH6 src.rpm of mozilla 0.8.1 has failed. Lots of error messages have caused the rebuilding to abort. Haven't tried the src.rpm. How did it just abort? Did you get a signal 11 or something? I built mozilla (0.7?) once from source just to see how hard it was. It turned out that it really didn't take an inordinate amount of time (I had only a P-100 then) but I really couldn't do it until I upgraded my hard disk and got DSL, because of the bandwidth and storage space required. I upgraded to a 30 gig harddrive back in October. I used the tarball rather than a a source rpm. I had heard stories about it requiring 256 megs to compile and 64 megs just to link. I don't remember it taking up inordinate amounts of memory (I had 96 megs of RAM back then.) The final link did take up 128 megs of RAM though :(. You should probably do fine on a k6-2; it's faster than what I used to have. Other than simply time, if you've been able to successfully compile other stuff (kde sources, for instance) you shouldn't have issues unless the RPM is looking for something specific you don't have. Try the source tarball or cvs and see if that helps. I've an Athlon 1ghz now with 256 megs of ram. I might just give it a try and see how much faster things go :). I did notice initially that when I did my first install (back in January) of Mandrake 7.2 that there were quite a number of missing things that I had to install manually - things like aclocal, automake, gettext, etc. At one point I think even 'patch' was not installed.

[newbie] Bootnet.img problems
I know this is supposed to bea mandrake forum but I commonly see posts about Suse and other distributions.

If anyone knows how to do a network install of mandrake please let me know. I cannot read cd-r's, so going the .iso route is out of the question.

Re: [newbie] locked cd roms
new system (Athalon 750, 250 meg ram etc...) with mdk 7.1 and a GoldStar CD-RW. It seemed to work fine, and I even burned a couple of CD-r's and I recently upgraded as well, but I don't have a cd-rw (at least not yet). I don't know if this is really apropos, but "locked" cdroms are usually a sign of a process still owning the device which prevents unmounting. This could be as simple as a shell still sitting in a directory underneath that device's mount point. Then, last week, it got to where I couldn't mount the floppy any more - either with supermount or manually. Then, the problem spread to the CD drive. Finally, over the weekend Kudzu (the auto hardware detect code, Wierd. I haven't experienced something quite like that, but I did have an issue a few years ago where the thing would sporadically not boot; turned out that it was a short in the power cable leading to the device (hard drive in my case.) Kudzu is another issue. I had some issues with it when I upgraded to an athlon-based system a few weeks ago. I had gotten a new sound card (SB Live) and a graphics card (Matrox G450) and had prebuilt a new linux kernel and a new X the weekend prior to installing the new system. I had trouble detecting the card with kudzu, and ended up bypassing it and configuring it manually with XConfigurator. And the system still tries to load the modules for my old ISA sound card that's no longer in the system. Since I'm running off of a boot floppy with 2.4.2, it just bypasses that (since it can't find the modules). It may not be 100% what's supposed to happen but it works. David E.

[newbie] problem with too much ram
Hi everyone, I have a problem with adding RAM that I hope someone can help me with. We have a Compaq SP750 (dual P3 866 Xeon) that had 1.5GB of RDRAM. When we added another 512MB to bring the total up to 2GB, the LM7.1 installed on the machine refuse to boot. It gets to the place where it's suppose to load the RAM disk (I think) but go into kernel panic: unable to mount root. We tried just putting in 1792MB of RAM, then the machine boots up w/o any problems. Anyone has any idea why? TIA. Andy

Re: [newbie] Slow hdd access
First of all, unless you have the newest kernel, 6.1 does NOT support ata/66 or ata/100. Second, try hdparm settings like hdparm -u1 -c1 -d1 -m8 -a8 -X66 /dev/hda # or hdc or wherever you have these hdds. check before with three tries of hdparm -t /dev/hda only the third result is likely to be meaningful. (no other programs running, especially none using disk cache) And again after the hdparm setting (and a 2 minute wait), try three times with hdparm -t ... You may see a performance improvement. Third, if you have WD drives, don't bother. They seem to run better at ATA/33 and they do comply with the ECC for that level (sort-of) while they fake it for higher speeds. On the other hand, running WDs at 66 or 100 often results in geometry misrecognition, massive data corruption, kernel panic on boot, and destruction of data for other drives on the same channel with timing chatter.

He says you tell the people hosting your DNS server that you want all your domains and sub-domains i.e.. www, ftp and mail for each domain to point to the same IP and you let Apache figure it out. That is the concept of virtual hosting... Why have a separate IP for each... that is not really "virtual" hosting. What do you think? I put in a call to my DNS people and they set it up...

Then Rex, I told him what to post and he did not ask anything about "off the record" he just assumed that because I was grumbling about my machine that it was what I wanted posted and took it as dictation, so I kicked him.

Re: [newbie] Telnet vs SSH
you can shutdown with telnet log in as a user, su to root and then shutdown -r now - Original Message - From: "Tim Holmes" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 1:02 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Telnet vs SSH The difference is in security for the most part. There are some other perks to SSH that telnet does not allow. For example you could shut down a machine with the command: ssh -l root hostname.dns.com shutdown -h now Once you execute that command, it will ask you for the RSA key passcode and then log into that machine, execute that command and then log out. The machine will then shut down. This can't be done in telnet. And if it can, it's not done easily, I've tried the command and it won't allow it or look like there's a simple way to do that. [timh@r2d2 timh]$ ssh yoda uptime timh@yoda's password: 11:39am up 51 days, 11:44, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 There's an example. There's also the security. With Telnet, you can't telnet in as root due to the fact that it sends a plain text passwd and it's not hard at all to catch those passwds. SSH sends a plain text key. The key has the passcode encrypted within that key. Windows comes with Telnet. And it's installed by default in Win98SE, and up. (If you actually disable networking, you install the telnet.exe to install the Windows networking.) Windows does now however have a SSH anything. I don't know if they ever will, and since they're recent statements about OpenSource, Linux and GPL, I doubt they will do something like that any time soon. There are plenty of applications you can buy or download as FREEware. Personally I like and use SecureCRT. Which can be coupled with a SFTP client. SecureCRT does suppor telnet. Hummingbird has a good suite for telnet, I believe it supports SSH, and it should connect to an X Server. However it's pricey. Last I heard it was like $700 or so. But there are other ways of getting software that will perform the task you need with out spending a dime, or with out spending an arm, a leg, and a knee cap!

RE: [newbie] compiling kernel
I'm also getting this problem. When I boot the new kernel I get the follow module! module! error net-fr-1 I imagine that it has something to do with the network. I'v tried changing all the thing that could be changed with out success. I'v gone throught the whole complie process. Checked Lilo and so on but still with no success. Still drinking Coffee Cheers Duncan -Message d'origine- De: dooshiant % [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: lundi 9 avril 2001 16:46 À:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet:[newbie] compiling kernel hello Since a while I've been having problems compiling the 2.4.x kernel on LM7.2 and what should I put in the processor type section. I am current ly using a Duron 700 and I choose the Athlon/K7 as processor type to be compiled for. BTW is there any guide to intalling glibc 2.2 on mandrake. cheers dooshiant here the error msg i always get when compile: In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/string.h:21, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h:23, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h: In function `__constant_memcpy3d': /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h:305: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h: In function `__memcpy3d': /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h:312: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
