rawhide to ISO?
I want to burn 2 CD's with rawhide rpms. I found ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/README but this document (because its intent is to explain CD-filesystem and not vice versa) doesn't answer one question I have -- which RPMs must go into disc1 and which should go into disc2?

Take a look at the RedHat/base/comps file. Figure out which modules you are going to need, and make sure they are on the first disk. If you can fit it all on one ISO, it won't need to swap CDs. Otherwise you will have to spend a lot of time figuring out the dependencies and the correct install order. It will probably take a while and a little bit of trial and error and lots of sweat and toil. That's what we pay RedHat to do grin.

Is that the method that the upgrader uses? It seems that would handle a rename but might not handle a package that splits. The big thing about the installer upgrade process is that it finds orphan files and determines the new parent package for them. For example, if package foo owned /foo/bar in 6.0, but there is no package foo in 6.2, the installer notices that foo was installed on the system but there is no new foo package on the CD. It then searches through all the packages that ARE on the CD to see if any of them own a file /foo/bar. If there is such a package, it is marked for upgrade. rpm -Fvh also doesn't automatically add packages that are new and required by packages already on the system. For example, if the 6.0 box has package foo installed, and in 6.2 package foo grows a dependency for package bar, but package bar wasn't installed on the 6.0 box, the rpm -Fvh will not install it, and dependency will not be satisified. RPM will just exit without doing anything in this case. Finally, rpm -Fvh doesn't automatically add packages that are available that obsolete packages that are installed on your system. For example, if package foo was installed on 6.0, and package bar in 6.2 obsoletes package foo, the installer automatically adds package foo to the upgrade set. rpm -Fvh doesn't.

Install Win98 on the first. Install Windows NT on the second. Make the remaining space one partition and install Linux. Or, install linux on a third small partition and have a fourth for data. It would be better to have two drives and install the OS of your choice on the second one. Normally, a drive can only have two primary partitions, and the rest are 'extended' partitions. Your mileage will vary when trying to install OSes on them. Drives can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary and an extended partation. The 4th space is used to defind the extended partation, and that is then split into logical partitions. Please note, this only applies to "DOS" partation tables - the partation tables for hard drives normaly used on PC's. The rules are different for drives on a Sparc system, and for different versions of UNIX, as well as others. Also, some OSs will not boot from the second drive without some extra work done in LILO to remap the drives. Also, some OSs insist on being installed on a primary partation. DOS does, and I think Windows 98 does also. I am not sure about NT. Linux and OS/2 can be installed to logical partitions. It's been a while, but I've seen instances where NT's setup program simply won't recognize partitions larger than 2 gig. You have to use the other install method-- if you tried the cd, make the setup disks; if you tried disks, you'll need the cd; I forget which one has the limitation.

updating glibc and getting a clean shutdown
I remember last time I updated the glibc RPMs the machine wouldn't shutdown cleanly the first time afterwards (can't umount a file system because it's busy). After thinking about it, I still don't quite understand what the problem is but figure it must be something with the old glibc RPMS still being used by the kernel and they've tried to be deleted. Does any one know of a method to update to the new glibc RPMS and still get a clean shutdown? Note, I'm NOT talking about updating a RedHat 6.2 system to the 7.0 glibc RPMS. I'm talking about updating the 6.2 glibc to the newly released glibc RPMS for 6.2 that fixed a security bug. From reading the announcement, this appears to be only a security fix for local users (not remotely exploitable) and I don't have any untrustworthy users on my system so it's not necessary to do the update, but it still would be nice to know how to do this (if it's possible) for future reference.

Re: sendmail problem (rejecting connection)
Your sendmail config is set to throttle (stop accepting connections) when the load average peaks over a certain number. Edit you sendmail.cf file (/etc/sendmail.cf was the default with 6.2). Look for a line like the following: O RefuseLA=12 Increase the number (in this case 12), save the file, then do a restart of the sendmail daemon. You might want to keep an eye on this; if the load average is high and you increase it, you will just bog down the machine. It may be that you will need an additional mail server to help balance the load. - rick warner On Wed, 17 Jan 2001, Sergio Pereira wrote: Hi all, I use RH6.2 wiht sendmail 8.9 and I have a lot of list (petidomo).

Setting the hostname without linuxconf
Howdy, We have forsaken the use of linuxconf after it repeatedly did things like eat conf files (no kidding, it really demolished them), change the perms on important binaries to settings that don't work, and stoped services like FTP without restarting them. I know how to set the hostname by hand, but the other day we had a crash (overload) and when it came back up it had the hostname that was originally set in linuxconf. This cause some problems with things like log files that get named $hostname_$date.log - they all had the wrong hostname. I have temporarily fixed that by setting the hostname, however, I need to fix it permanently so that if we ever reboot again we won't have a repeat situation. I greped for the old hostname in /etc and couldn't find it anywhere except in /etc/HOSTNAME. I don't think that's what I'm looking for, because it seems like that was set up during bootup. So, where is the conf file that set the hostname during startup?

RE: NIC's stuck at 10Meg
Do you know where to go on their site? I just dug aroud and could only find a NIC detection utility. Thanks, Chuck -Original Message- From: Mitchell K. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 11:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: NIC's stuck at 10Meg What is the exact model of your NIC? If it is a 3Com 3C90x, 59x or 5x9, you should be able to run the 3Com config utility. You'll need to make a DOS bootable floppy and copy the utility to that. There are option for force the NIC to a particular speed and duplex. That is where I would start. If you are going to a switch, you MUST force the NIC to 100Mbps and Full duplex. Otherwise the switch can get confused. Make sure also that the switch is set to 100Mbps and Full duplex. If that doesn't help you let me know. Mitchell K.

They are 10/100 cards but stuck at 10. If I reboot and then plug the cable into a NIC, it will initially read 100M link, but some time later it changes to 10. These NIC's plug directly into an HP switch, and I have many other RH62 boxes (with intel and 3com NICs) on this switch with no problems (all ports on the switch are configured identically). I have played with a utility called 'mii-diag' the admin before me used that can disable auto-negotiation and force 100 Megabit. This utility is not working on this machine. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Here is the output of this 'mii-diag' utility: [root@fir /root]# mii-diag eth1 Basic registers of MII PHY #0: c000 c000 c000 c000 c000 c000 c000 c000.

a few questions
I'm using Red Hat 6. I'm a rookie at this. How do I login to my NetWare server? I do I have IPX setup. Also can I login to a NT server? Having problems accessing the Floppy disk using a dos disk. I'm missing the mcopy command, and can't mount the disk. I can ping my local network but not past, I guess the route is not setup. I'm using DHCP, do I need to setup the route manually? Also DNS is not working. Do I have to manually set that up also? Just tried to upgrade XFree86 to 4.0.2 from what ever version came with install 3. something errored at the end. the summary of the log says OS Linux 2.2.16-3smp i686 ELF Parse warning on line 77 of section Keyboard in file /etc/x11/xf86config ignoring obsolete keyword "leftalt" Parse error on line 77 of section Keyboard in file /etc/x11/xf86config "Meta" is not a valid keywork in this section (EE) problem parsing the config file (EE) Error from xf86handleconfigfile() Fatal server error: no screens found also during the upgrade of XFree I saw a message about missing gnu-tar , I don't know what that was all about..
