  Yes, you can try:
  ftp://crys.dntis.ro/pub/linux/redhat/6.X/RPMS/i386/avifile-0.6.3-1.6x.i386.rpm
 
  Its a snapshot from CVS on 2001-04-19, not a release version.
  Work very well for me.
  Its for Red Hat 6.2 + updates + XFree86-4.0.3 + qt-2.3.0 + libmng-0.9.4 +
  SDL-1.1.8.
  You will find all this RPMS in the same directory.

 Are there SRPMS too? I'd like to make an RPM for RH7.x.

Yes, normally.

  I have an ethernet driver running on a system which has 2 similar ethernet

 Also, i need to program the Node Address for both with unique values. The

 driver, it programs both boards with the same MAC address. how do i avoid
 that? I have the process explained below.

  insmod tstdrv.o MACAddr=11223344

 after i do this  type in "ifconfig", i see

  eth0 programmed with the HWAddr 11223344 
  eth1 programmed with the same HWAddr 11223344..

If the driver supports this, you can change the MAC address after loading
the module (but before bringing the interfaces up) with 'ifconfig eth0
hw ether ...' or the like.

You can also set it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX, with
MACADDR= keyword.

If Red Hat's archives were working, I'd refer you to a recent thread on
exactly this topic. But since the archives are worthless...

  PuTTy URL:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

It's Open Source, and it's a single EXE file. No DLL's and no install
routine. Just drop it in a directory and run it. It supports SSH1 and SSH2,
using IDEA or Blowfish. It supports RSA authentication and if you need to
use telnet for some reason, it's terminal emulation is lots better than the
brain-dead telnet utility that ships with Windows.

Re: modifying bootnet.img for RH 7.1

2001-04-21 Thread Leonard den Ottolander

Hi!

 I wrote:
 
  I created a bootnet-plip image for RedHat 7.1 as I described for 7.0 in the
 PLIP-Install-HOWTO. In short the procedure adds the 3 modules necessary for
 PLIP to modules.cgz, and adds entries for these modules in modules.dep and
 module-info. This scheme works for RH 6.2 and 7.0.
  I had to delete one module (pcnet32.o) and its corresponding entries due to a
 lack of space on the disk. For some reason /sbin/loader hangs. I am wondering
 what causes this behaviour. Does loader do a checksum on the files on the
 bootnet disk? Or shouldn't I have deleted the pcnet32 module and/or its entries
 in modules.dep and module-info? If that is the case I might try to fit
 everything on the disk by clearing some msg files.

 I created another copy, with all the modules still there. To get the space I 
needed I emptied all .msg files. But the problem is still there: Booting goes 
fine, but /sbin/loader hangs. Have you got any idea why?

Bye,

Leonard.

I use 'putty'.  The ssh client is small (one executable) and downloads
in seconds.

Putty also includes the following clients:

  * PuTTY (the Telnet and SSH client itself) 
  * PSCP (an SCP client) 
  * Currently in the development snapshots only: PSFTP (an SFTP client) 
  * PuTTYtel (a Telnet-only client) 
  * Plink (a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends) 
  * Pageant (an SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink) 
  * PuTTYgen (an RSA key generation utility). 

I've used Putty for over a yr and it's rock solid.

Perhaps you could tell us more the 'bunch of errors'?  If it locked up your
machine I'd be inclined to think that not being able to run updatedb was
another symptom and not the cause.

Here is a big hint.  The line that does the work will be something like:

grep "$1 $2" .addr_book

This is if you call the script using something like "lookup john doe"

do i need BIOS support for large drive ?

2001-04-21 Thread Jerry Queirolo



Stupid question... does my BIOS need large drive support for 
RH 6.2 to recognize the drive? I have an old p100 that's running rh 6.2, 
with 3 scsi drives (1,2, and 4G). The power supply has gotten too loud, so 
I have a new case and pwr supply (old one was non-standard) and when I move 
things over, I'd like to swap out the 3 scsi drives and replace with a 20G IDE 
that I already have. The mobo is an intel zappa (advanced zp), and the 
bios is 1.00.04.BS0 (AMI). I see intel has an update (1.00.06.BS0) 
available, but says nothing of large drive support. I found a 3rd party 
bios (mr.bios) that say they added large drive support, but that's another $50 
I'd rather not dump into this machine, if I can avoid it.

Stupid question... does my BIOS need large drive support for RH 6.2 to
recognize the drive?  I have an old p100 that's running rh 6.2, with 3 scsi
drives (1,2, and 4G).  The power supply has gotten too loud, so I have a new
case and pwr supply (old one was non-standard) and when I move things over,
I'd like to swap out the 3 scsi drives and replace with a 20G IDE that I
already have.  The mobo is an intel zappa (advanced zp), and the bios is
1.00.04.BS0 (AMI).  I see intel has an update (1.00.06.BS0) available, but
says nothing of large drive support.  I found a 3rd party bios (mr.bios)
that say they added large drive support, but that's another $50 I'd rather
not dump into this machine, if I can avoid it.

Thanks in Advance,
Jerry Queirolo

Red Hat Linux and Road Runner

2001-04-21 Thread Clarence Donath

Has anyone here any experience getting Linux to work with the cable
Internet access service Road Runner?  Is it doable, is it difficult or
easy, and did you have to do anything special to get it to work?

I'm asking, not having the service myself, but for a member of a group I
belong to and provide Linux support.

Thank you very much,
Regards,
Clarence

 I'm asking, not having the service myself, but for a member of a group I
 belong to and provide Linux support.

I have it and it was easy. I'm using a NIC to a hub situation. I just set
up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 as follows:

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPADDR=
NETMASK=
HOSTNAME=alan.harry.net
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no"
BROADCAST=
NETWORK=
USERCTL=no

After that, made sure the NIC was working and a simple (as root):

/sbin/service network restart

Comes up on its own at boot.

I've had a problem or 2 with modules however (not related to RR) in that
they weren't getting installed at boot. So, I changed the atboot= line to
no, manually rmmod, insmod and ifup in the rc.local script whenever that
has happened (like it currently does). I get that as follows:

/sbin/ifdown eth0  /dev/null 21
/sbin/rmmod tulip  /dev/null 21
/sbin/insmod tulip  /dev/null 21
/sbin/ifup eth0  /dev/null 21

That always works, whether the modules manage to get installed properly in
the first place or if they fail, just as long as the modules work at all
(tulip mods sometimes are screwy). Change the module to whatever yours
uses.

As always YMMV.

sendmail.cw is the same thing as local-host-names.  Either file is fine as

You don't need to do all that you mentioned on the modules.  Just edit
/etc/modules.conf and use alias ethX tulip where X=ethernet card # and
whatever module happens to be yours.  Run depmod -a afterwards and your all
set to include being recognized at boot time.

No, you do not need large drive support to use Linux.  You do have to
create a /boot partition completely in the part of the drive the BIOS
can handle.  It works best if you do not have any partitions when you
install Linux.  If fdisk sees the hole disk, (it usualy does), then you
are all set.  Just create a 8-16M /boot partition at the start of the
disk, and partition the rest of the disk any way you want.  I have takes
several drives that needed a BIOS extension.  (disk manager and similar
products that drive manfactures shipped with drive kits.)  Under Linux,
I do not need any of that.  The key is to make sure the BIOS can see the
part of the drive that the kernel in so, because lilo uses the BIOS to
load the kernel.

Sometimes, you will have to specify to fdisk the drive specs, and also
put them in /etc/lilo.cof.  But for most drives, Linux fdisk finds the
correct numbers.
