Why not start at the bottom and work your way up? 1.) Turn off all unnecessary services (especially Shorewall) 2.) Change the default runlevel in the /etc/inittab to 3 instead of 5 (this gives you a console login) 3.) Double check your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for any anomalies or misconfigurations I'll assume that you're obtaining an IP address with DHCP, ya? You might want to use more than two DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf - especially one that is a backbone or primary DNS NOT related to your ISP or provider (I use two for Australia and one from Asia) Reboot - watch - and once you login to the console, run dmesg and look for any aberrations there. If all goes well, and you login nicely, run startx to fire up your default XWindows default GUI; are there any further problems? If not, then you can go back to your /etc/inittab and change the runlevel back to 5 from 3 so that you have a graphical login session. All in all from what I'm gathering here, something is hosed in either your overall networking or in the KDE (if that's your default) configuration...

Ok, apologies for pressing send on my email program too soon (see previous message). And million thanks to everyone who contributed with their ideas. The problem is now solved (wait, there is the next problem). I followed the strategy of disabling services and re-enabling them. Now I found the offending service (or one causing this behavior). That is the good news. The bad news is that it is DEVFSD. Ok, I am an end-user, I am trying to use my Linux box purely as my desktop. Reading the man on devfsd left me very confused. Could I just leave devfsd off (sounds like not so good idea). Or should I do something about it to get to the bottom of it? Any thoughts? Saku Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Saku I find it strange that THAT would be the offending party in this saga; you could, however, turn the service off and see if it directly affects anything that you do as a desktop user - as well - being that this is merely a client machine (or desktop) are there any other services running that you might not need? I found the following (so someone else had the same problem, with 10.1 Community): http://quanta.homeip.net/pipermail/linuxr3000/2004-November/000745.html I did what he did, installed udev (not sure that I need either one of them) and run that at startup. Everything seems to be working ok. So in case of if anyone is interested the list of services that I run at startup is: alsa, atd, crond, cups, hotplug, keytable, kheader, network, ntpd, numlock, partmon, postfix, rawdevices, shorewall, sound, sshd, syslog, udev, xfsd and xinetd (this according to drakconf). I think I need all of them: I have my uses for sshd and postfix. I am not sure that I need rawdevices, but I can live without finding that out. Thanks!

This is also exactly where I would look first. Make sure the first line of you /etc/hosts file looks like this 127.0.0.1 hostname.domain.com localhost -- /g Thanks for both of you for your suggestions.

When it stops and you get the long wait before it proceeds, that is where the problem is. Let us know what part of the text feed it waits on and maybe we have a better idea of how to help. Normally it is a hardware issue and disabling harddrake on start up will fix it. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Thanks: Tried that. Actually, hitting Escape after login does not do anything (strange, I also thought it should do something). Tried disabling services, disabling harddrake does not help. I tried disabling sshd too, because every time a boot I get the following noise on my auth.log: Nov 19 10:06:42 saku sshd[3087]: Received signal 15; terminating.

The behavior of the computer has changed now a little though (with Harddrake and sshd starting at startup), now the freeze happens before the login window appears. But I can still open up the TTY's and the second login to a TTY will go through fine, while the X-window system and the first login hang about five minutes. Strange.

[newbie] Bash Prompt
I am of course new to linux, I'm taking a class in which one thing we learned was to change the environmental variable of the prompt using the line PS1= I want my prompt to display my current working directory, and the way I did that in the class was add PS1=`pwd` Now the class was an older version of the bash shell running out on a free-bsd server. I tried to get my prompt on mine at home by adding the same line to my .bashrc file in my home directory. It only displays my home directory, even when I change into other directories. So can someone help with what I'm doing wrong and/or what's different than the bash at school, that makes this difficult. I appreciate all the help you've given me thus far. Thx, Elliot P.S.

Re: [newbie] Error at boot: BIOS data check successful...?
Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work.. Also, I had to press Escape to leave the graphical LILO menu before being able to write the line linux noapic noacpi. I suppose that is normal... (?) I have an Intel Pentium 800 MHz with PhoenixBIOS (v.4.06) and 128 MB RAM. The chipset is a Intel 800 series (yeah, I admit - haven't got a clue what that means... ;-) ).

Of course that is trying to set up a network. I just don't find it clear whether setting up a router/modem plus ethernet can be done with nothing more than getting the devices recognised by the system, or that you also have to have the beginning of a network as well. Most router/modems work based upon dhcp, which means that they automatically assign an IP address, netmask, broadcast, gateway, (some even do the domain name) to the cards that are plugged into their systems. So, simply letting the MCC wizard detect the card and then using the default selections (they default to DHCP IIRC) should result in a working network configuration. That is pretty much why I suggested the router/modem route. Otherwise, you have to configure the USB device, but then you are also going to have to configure the Network connection with ID/password, etc to get the DSL connection running. And I don't know of any standalone router device so, if you want to share the network connection, you have to set that up on the machine too. Again, to each his own, but I can't imagine any situation where the USB one would be easier than ethernet. We seem to be drifting a bit here... As I said in my original message, I need a solution that doesn't involve screwdrivers - not just because I'm a girl (!) but I have ME - the combination of brainfog plus physical limitations means that installing anything that involves taking the case off the box is beyond my capabilities. As I understand it, an ethernet card would be installed inside the box - which means that I'd have to pay not only for the card but for the installation of it, and of course there's the inconvenience of having to take the box to the shop etc...plus the cost of the router which appears to be considerably more expensive than the USB modem. Right now, I can afford the broadband service plus the USB modem. I'd have to save up for another 2-3 months to go for the other option. I'd appreciate your opinion on this - will the ease of use of the ethernet option be worth the wait and the extra expense? Thanks Margot Margot, I think you need to be listening to Paul and Bryan, et all, who suggest you go the hardware route and avoid USB/ Speedtouch (akin to the aDSL version of a 'winmodem'). There is absolutely no problem associated with removing your case cover and installing a cheap D-link NIC in a pci slot. Takes less than a few minutes, harddrake will find it on the next boot. I can't believe that if you don't wanna do it, you can't find somebody to do it for you. I believe you read the cooker list, an you should also be seein the buggzilla's. If not, then just search them for 'speedtouch' and 'usb'. I think that should be argument enough that Paul and Bryan are givin you the best advice. Which is why I've stayed out of this till now. https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/ The only thing I'd add is, (as root) 'urpmi rp-pppoe' and run 'tkpppoe' to answer about a half dozen questions. Provider, userID, password, DNS from server?, stuff like that. Your adsl connection can then be started with 'adsl-start', and terminated with 'adsl-stop'. It's easier to enable aDSL service this way, than under Windoze. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Margot, If your close to Manchester I can drive over and install it for you.

OK, so now you have this router/modem(by the way what sort of port is that, or is it PCI device?) and a single ethernet card all nicely plugged in and detected by MCC and working. So then I need to network my other computers via this 8-pot 10/100Mbps switch DES-1008D, the so called D-Link, that is not so easy ? John The router works the same as a hub, so you will be able to uplink it to your switch and extend your network. The router normally has one wan port/modem connection and 4 lan ports. So you will have 4 - 1 for your uplink + 8 - 1 for your uplink so you will now have 10 ports.

RE: [newbie] Microsoft slammed over misleading Windows Linux claims

Hall Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 1:52 PM To: Mandrake OT-List Cc: Mandrake Newbie-List Subject: [newbie] Microsoft slammed over misleading Windows Linux claims http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18067 Compared a mainframe to a dual 900MHz Xeon kit By INQUIRER staff: Wednesday 25 August 2004, 08:24 THE UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a series of public complaints over an advert in a magazine comparing the cost of Linux versus Microsoft Windows. An advert it ran compared the two operating systems to each other, but Windows was running on a measly dual 900MHz Xeon configuration, while Linux was running on a z900 IBM mainframe. The advert appeared in an IT magazine and was headed: Weighing the cost of Linux vs Windows? Let's review the facts. The ad contained a graph comparing the cost in US dollars between a Linux images running on two z900 mainframe CPUs and a Windows Server 2003 image running two 900MHz Intel Xeons chips. The ad claimed: Linux was found to be over 10 times more expensive than Windows? Servers. It said that in a recent study audited by leading independent research analyst Meta Group, measured costs of Linux running on IBM's z900 mainframe for Windows-comparable functions of file serving and Web serving. The results showed that IBM z900 mainframe running Linux is much less capable and vastly more expensive than Windows Server 2003 as a platform for server consolidation.* The ASA said the asterisk linked to a footnote that said: Results may vary outside the United States. The people who complained challenged whether such a comparison was misleading, because the operating systems were run on different hardware. In its adjudication, the ASA upheld the complaints. While the ASA said the advertisers wanted to compare how competing file set ups were audited by Meta, it took expert advice. The IBM z900 running Linux was 10 times more expensive than running the Windows OS. It would have been possible to compare the two OSes on similar hardware. And the ASA ruled readers would infer the ad compared Linux and Windows OSes only. The ASA said: Because the comparison included the hardware, as well as the operating system and therefore did not show that running a Linux operating system was ten times more expensive than running a Windows operating system, the Authority concluded that the advertisement was misleading. -- /\ Dark Lord \/ What depths are they willing to dive to try to hoodwink innocent users. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.

I was trying to steer the original poster away from the low level format trap since it tends to damage old drives of unknown pedigree sometimes. The first point I made in my reply was that it's probably easier to use the original manufacturers tools to do the job, then I threw in some smart ass comments. Little math lesson: Let say there is an empty place on a disk. That's the place, where we write the bite we want to be there. We have a 20G disk. There are 171798691840 empty places ( (((20 * 1024) * 1024) * 1024) * 8 = 171798691840 ). If we write a file on disk, we can do it by 5MBps. That means we can fill 41943040 empty places in 1 second. If we format a 20G partition with HardDrake, it takes about 20 seconds (I don't remember the correct time). So, if we format a disk (partition placed on entire disk), we are touching only 838860800 empty places on the disk and 170959831040 are untouched and containing old data. If we make two different formats (difrent filesystems), we just decrease this number maybe by another 838860800 and that is not enough. IT IS NEED TO TOUCH EVERY SINGLE BITE ON A DISK TO BE SURE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT!!! Touching all bites on 20G disk takes about 68 minutes by speed 5 MBps. What's the point? I openly stated that guarding against that type of forensic analysis was not going to be accomplished by what I was recommending. Are you trying to prove you are more capable and more intelligent than I? Fine you win. Much of the world fits that description. Counts are only guesses (I really have no glue about writing speed on a disk, but I thing it is something about 5 MBps. I guess there are really only 60 seconds in each minute and only 1024 bytes in every single MB If I wanted to study math I'd enrol in University, wouldn't I? I don't have the time.

RE: [newbie] tools for partitioning and formatting hard drive(diatribe alert)
I can't remember where I read it, but the securest way to wipe the data is to put random data in each bit, you need to do this numerous time to get to each standard, one standard is 30 another 60 times (not sure the correct amount of times). The reason you use random data is due to the way the bit does not totally lose 0 or 1. This obviously takes a lot longer than 30 to 60 formats. These tools no doubt give you these options, but the securest way is to put magnetic iron filings on the drive, but that is not a definitive way, just a quick way.

RE: [newbie] tools for partitioning and formatting hard drive(diatribe alert)
I think it was from a real data recovery company, talking about the DOD standards. Digging deep in my memory (ouch!) I think it is the residual charge in the bit can be available for a long time, so formatting does not change it completely, the overwriting it clears something and changes the charge in the bit, and doing it multiple times is more secure. It was all interesting but slightly over my head so I did not retain it all. Look at it like writing a number down on a piece of paper with a pencil. Only after you rub it out until you destroy the paper do you eliminate the number. If you rub it out normally you still have the imprint in the paper. Rub it out and write over it and it becomes harder to work out the original figure. Do this multiple times and you will not be able to see the original number. Obviously hard drives don't damage the platter when formatting so it will always carry the original charge for a lot of cycles, albeit reduced. That was painful. I don't have to think that hard normally. Only an hour to go and then bliss.

The reason you use random data is due to the way the bit does not totally lose 0 or 1. This obviously takes a lot longer than 30 to 60 formats. These tools no doubt give you these options, but the securest way is to put magnetic iron filings on the drive, but that is not a definitive way, just a quick way. Which still begs the question. Who wrote that, and how do they know? I mean, have they actually tested it, do they have equipment necessary to perform advanced data recovery, etc? I actually think that the securest way to wipe data is to drill open the hard drive, grind the platters down to dust and then melt the entire thing in a blast furnace, but again, I haven't ever tested that method against data recovery methods, so I wouldn't want to say for sure. -- Bryan Phinney -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.

I just wanted to ask, my play machine at home, at the moment runs as a dual booting system, with both windows XP Pro and MDK 10.0 Community, now it was running fine up untill last night, I bought a processor and GFX card for the machine, now when I put both in the machine, it wont send a signal to the screen, however if I leave the new gfx card in the machine, and simply put the old processor back into the machine, it works, although now I have kernel panics in linux, and my windows xp has lovely Blue Screens of death ? The only thing I can think of is that the machine has now got corrupted system files ? Maybe when I put the new proc in ? The machine as I said is only a play machine and therefore has a celeron processor in it, I put a new Celeron D proc in, but as I noticed this wont work, but now if I put my old Celeron standard 1.7Ghz chip back into the pc, it starts the screen fine, and sends a signal and everything to the screen ? The OS is not a problem as I have bought a new hdd for the machine and well it was going to be replaced anyway so its not the biggest problem, the problem I am now worried about is that I have in some way stuffed up my socked on my MOBO by putting in a Celeron D chip as apposed to putting a normal Celeron chip in ? Is this possible? They are both socket 478 chips, nothing wrong there, I just dont think the D chip is compatible with my mobo ?

I was doing a domain name transfer, the people who had it refused to transfer after about 1 month so I thought nothing of it, godaddy charged me each month for hosting the web site even though they were not hosting it. I noticed this after 4 months (don't check my account very often) and asked them for a refund, they refused as I had requested the domain transfer and did not cancel it after they emailed me with the confirmation that they could not host it. I stupidly assumed if they could not complete the transfer (host my site) the contract between us was broken and I would not be charged. However the contract is not broken till you cancel it even though the only service they are providing you with is the removal of your money from your bank account (Did that sound bitter?).

Heres what I'm trying to do. I have a script that will report spam automatically to earthlink. Below is a snip from a reply I got from one of the techs when we discovered that my reports were going out ok, but being rejected by EL's abuse mailer: AHA! That's the problem. Your 'envelope from' does not use a FQDN (chris.localdomain does not resolve). There is an anti-spam measure running on the MTA (Exim) for abuse.earthlink.net which will reject all mail from domains with no resolvable 'A' record or 'MX' record. This is the same machine that [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwards to. The same rule does not run on the earthlink.net MX, which is why you could find no errors in your local mail logs. Your box handed the report off to the earthlink.net MX just fine, but when *that* rotor attempted to deliver the mail to us at abuse.earthlink.net, it was rejected like so: Of course, you never saw this, because [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't go anywhere. Configure your MTA to announce with [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the 'MAIL FROM:' command (or just something resolvable), and that should fix it. Notice this has nothing to do with the parameters in the script. That only specifies the 'Header from', which is what is visible as the 'From:' header when reading e-mail. But the 'Envelope From' is entirely different, which usually translates to be the 'Return-Path:' when you view the extended headers of an e-mail. Ok, so, I went to the main.cf in /etc/postifx and made this change: myorigin = [EMAIL PROTECTED] #myorigin = $mydomain Now for some reason the headers of the msgs look like this, which I know is incorrect: Status: RO Return-Path: chris@@earthlink.net Received: from chris.localdomain ([xx.xx.xxx.xxx]) by quail (EarthLink SMTP Server) with ESMTP id 1bLh4S53N3NZFkZ0 Thu, 15 Jul 2004 17:59:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: by chris.localdomain (Postfix, from userid 501) id E2AC0584002; Thu, 15 Jul 2004 20:59:52 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, for now I've shut off the reporting script.

It draws one huge desktop, then divides it up into 4 'quadrants' (actually, this can be configured differently as well, but that's another story), so that when you move down from viewport 1, the mouse'jumps' over into viewport 3. Sounds like either Pekwm, Kahakai or Waimea to me, but there may be others that do this.

As you can see by the sig (below), there's no fortune currently displaying, and that confuses the heck out of me. I've put my taglines into a %-delimeted file in /usr/share/games/fortunes as a file called myquotes, and have run strfile myquotes to generate the .dat file. That seems fine, near as I can tell. I've got Kcron setup to generate a new .signature file every 5 minutes (I want to change that, too, but need to figure out what else is wrong first) and, indeed, if I manually run now with Kcron I get a valid tagline appended to my sig. Each time I run it manually it works just fine. However, after the 5-minute period is up, the signature generated is like the one below (i.e., minus the tagline itself). Maybe I'm just too tired, but I don't see what's wrong here.

HTH, -Frans I think you are right. From the looks of things, Linux know how to handle that PCI card, and is assigning the ports to /dev/ttyS4 and /dev/ttyS5 (or /dev/tty/S4 and /dev/tty/S5) I believe the reason it is not using /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS2 is that there are addresses associated with /dev/ttyS0 through /dev/ttyS3 and they are not always detected at boot time, depending on boot parametors. (COM1 through COM4 in DOS.) So the PCI ports are assigned to the ports after them. Depending on what you are planning to use the ports for, you will probably be creating, or having the system create links to them from more descriptive names. (modem, mouse, pilot, camera, etc...) Mikkel Okay, mandy has found the to ports, so I have connected my modem to one of the ports but Mandy can't find the modem. So what do I need to do next? Thanks, Tony. Are you using MCC to configure an internet connection with the modem? If so you can tell it to use /dev/ttyS4 or /dev/ttyS5 in Mandrake 10.

What is the opinion of this group? If I do decide to build the module myself, should I remove the current NVIDIA_kernel-xx package first? I assume I don't since the module is installed in the proper kernel module tree. What about NVIDIA_GLX?

Margot No sooner did I post the link to Thomas' kernel, than he released an updated version2.6.4-1.tmb.4mdk Well, I've now experimented with several kernels, and the one which works best so far is 2.6.4-1.tmb.3mdk - machine still doesn't actually switch off, but everything else seems pretty stable. Perhaps now is the time to look at the acpi and apic settings that Tony suggested. I've seen these mentioned in other threads, but mainly relating to laptops. Mine's a desktop machine. I believe the general trend with 2.4.x kernels would be to disable apic and/or acpi. With 2.6.x and newer hardware, I believe it'll be to make sure they're both enabled. The only exception to that I currently know of is nForce chipset systems which don't handle them properly. You've got a VIA chipset which will. Are there any standard settings for acpi and apic for different types of machine, or is is just a question of trying various combinations until I find one that works? Yep, trial'n error I know that the settings appear in the append line in lilo.conf, but is this where I actually edit them, or is there another file for the settings which transfers the details into lilo.conf? No, edit lilo.conf, and try not to forget to run 'lilo' to write the changes before you reboot. (we all do sometimes ;) Margot, the behavior you describe is probly a hardware or bios configuration deficiency. Specially if you close all applications you don't want to start on the next boot, open a term and su to root, and type 'halt'. You might also experiment with 'reboot'. In any event, yes, you're probly OK to use the power switch, particularly if you don't see any file system warnings on the next boot. On an ATX motherboard, try either 4 sec delay or instant off bios settings to see if one works better than the other. Is ATX a brand name, or is it some sort of specification? Mine's a Shuttle Spacewalker MV42N - I don't want to start fiddling with bios settings until I have some idea of what I'm doing! Margot A specification. Your Shuttle is a micro ATX. and the system is up to date enough, that I believe with 2.6.x kernels, you should (even need/want to) enable apic and acpi. You do so by removing any 'noapic', 'nolapic', and 'acpi=off' (or acpi-=ht) from the 2.6.x kernel stanza in your lilo.conf. These features are built into the kernel, no need to explicitly enable them. With those option enabled, post the results of (should look somethin like mine): tom # cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i acpi BIOS-e820: 1fffc000 - 1000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 1000 - 2000 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: RSDP (v000 ASUS ) @ 0x000f62a0 ACPI: RSDT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc000 ACPI: FADT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc0b2 ACPI: BOOT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc030 ACPI: MADT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc058 ACPI: DSDT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x1000 MSFT 0x010b) @ 0x ACPI: Local APIC address 0xfee0 ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x02] address[0xfec0] global_irq_base[0x0]) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 0 global_irq 2 dfl edge) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 9 low level) ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0xe408 Using ACPI (MADT) for SMP configuration information ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040311 ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 *11 12) ACPI: PCI

I believe the kludge I've seen for nForce junk is to use 'apm=power-off' in lilo.conf See the source/comments in /usr/src/linux-2.6.?-?mdk/arch/i386/kernel/apm.c /rant/ Now before y'all nForce owners get upset, I use junk to describe win-hardware. nVidia designs and builds its chips to fully optimize under M$ operating systems, and in collaboration with M$. The rave reviews and hyperbole you read (based your hardware choice on?) have no relevance to use under a Linux OS. Mainly because nVidia refuses (isn't allowed by M$ licensing) to furnish source and hardware specs to kernel.org/OSS community. So if ya get upset with anybody, direct it at Billy Goate$ first.

RE: [newbie] After installing 10.0 Partition Magic from XP says that the partition di damaged
Paolo, PM reports this error when it is not really an error. You will always get it. (Have a look in the archives as there was a big discussion on this a while back). If you want to re-install Linux just put CD 1 in the drive and start again. My personal opinion is to not use PM at all. You can do all the partitioning through diskdrake. If you are happy with the current partition table you can just install over the top of the old install. As for the MBR I will leave that to one of my more knowledgeable list friends to answer as I never have had to deal with it.

RE: [newbie] Modify my home directory
All you have done is created /home in what was your empty space. MCC is helping you by moving the files across so you don't lose anything. You have 2 options either use the previous suggestion or (somebody jump in if I am wrong) reinstall would be the easiest way to restructure your drive. If you take the second option you will need to back up your data first.

But will the amount of space add up??? If you tell MCC to use the new partition for /home, the old one will be left unused. So no, the space will not add up. But again, I am not familiar with MCC, I might be wrong. raffaele Raffaele Belardi wrote: Christophe, see below. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Me again... I tried to make my home directory bigger... I first shrinked my windows partition (hda1) to obtain 8 Gb... Then I wanted to unmount my home directory (hda8) to make it bigger... When I click on unmount nothing happens... Why? You can't unmount a /home partition on a running system, because it's in use. You need to boot into single user mode for that (no graphic environment, only a shell), or boot from the MDK rescue disk into a shell. What is the difference between /home and /user directories? /home contains the home directories of your users. Standard MDK installation doesn't have /user but /usr. /usr contains almost all the executables - including gnome, kde, X. It does not normally contain user files. What type of file system should I use if I can not modify my /home directory? Resizing the /home partition means loosing all the data there contained. A better option would be to format the freed up space as a new ext3 partition, say hda9, and then mount the new partition somewhere under /home. For example, you might dedicate it to a user (in this case you'd mount it under /home/newuser, for example), or to increase the space dedicated to an already existing user (for example, if userX needs additional space for mp3, you might create a /home/userX/mp3 directory and mount hda9 there).

If your install goes as well as mine did, I think you'll enjoy it! You should see a difference in performance as well. Remember to set / for 2.5 Gb's and /usr for at least the same amount. /var can live with 1.5 Gb's, and you should make your swap file at least 400 Mb's. On a side note, I wanted to ask the list about something I just discovered. When I did my 10.0 RC1 install, I created a 4 Gb root partition ( / ), a swap and /home partitions as well. However, the /usr partition used up almost half of that. The next time I went to install an application, I found out that I was out of space onn the / partition. Having some left over space on my drive to be used as storage, I deleted the storage partition, and added a new /usr partition. This is where it's gets a little sexy. As soon as I selected /usr for the mount point, diskdrake popped up a new window asking me if I wanted to transfer the data from the /usr directory ( still sitting on the / partition ), to the new /usr partition i was creating. It then procedded to transfer the data without a problem, updated /etc/fstab, and it was done! Is this a feature that everyone knew about? Or is this a new feature in 10.0 ?

[newbie] RE: First 2.6 Beta
Steven, Is not the fedora core for people and not business (and not really Red Hat at all)? If this is the case, then Mandrake does do a Corporate Server and does include server software for business in it's normal releases. Admittedly MDK Corporate Server is not in 2.6 beta, then on the other hand neither is Red Hat's corporate offering's. All Linux press is good, but sometimes not so big Distributions miss out. Please peruse the MDK web site and you will see it is aimed for people and business. Thanks, Tony. -Original Message- From: Steven J.

Admittedly MDK Corporate Server is not in 2.6 beta, then on the other hand neither is Red Hat's corporate offering's. Mandrake has none of the corporate support though needed to make it a significant business player. To be a serious player in the area my readers care about, 24x7 support, long term technical support contracts and the like are even more important than the the technology. Any Linux distribution can be turned into a business distribution, but to be taken seriously by business requires far more than just technology. All Linux press is good, but sometimes not so big Distributions miss out. Please peruse the MDK web site and you will see it is aimed for people and business. Now, Mandrake does appear to be heading in that direction, but when I last talked to them their focus was 90% on the personal Linux market. That's fine, that's great, but that's not the kind of Linux company my readers care about. I am keeping an eye on Mandrake and if they take the business side a step or two more seriously, I'll be writing a story about them with a title like: Mandrake Moves into Business Linux Market or some such.

RE: [newbie] How to go about creating a new partition.
Marc, When creating partitions on Linux, they run with numbers, and they go in order. You fstab uses these numbers to mount the partitions. If you create a new partition at the end of the drive it will get a number after the last partition, i.e. last part is 12 new will be 13. If you create the new partition before the last partition, all partitions after the new one will increment by one. So new part is 8 and old part 8 turns to 9 etc. This will mess up fstab. You will need to manually edit this before rebooting your box if you use diskdrake. You might find that diskdrake will do this for you (not used it for ages so not sure). Hope this is clear enough. Tony. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marc Resnick Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 3:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] How to go about creating a new partition. Last time I tried to make a partition to give Linux more hard drive space, I completely screwed up Linux. Here's my plan for doing it this time. If there's anything I might screw up by doing this, please tell me. 1. Use Partition Magic in windows to resize my NTFS Windows Partition. 2. Boot Linux, use Diskdrake to create a partition from the free space, place it at the end of the sector.(I want to use Linux to do this so it 'knows' that I added this partition. Last time I think the problem was that it took mdk by surprise, screwing up the labels.) 3.
