Thanks for your suggestions.  However, someone just gave me a 
3Dfx Voodoo Banshee 16Mb :)  Thus I won't have to spend a penny
for now.  This sure is a reasonable choice against a S3 Trio64v/+ 2Mb.

I know it works under Linux as the person who gave it to me is a
fellow on another Linux Forum.

Cheers.

That depends on what you need. There are lots of opion pieces about this
posted around the 'Net. Generally, if you need a more complete SQL
implementation, including row-level locking and transaction support, use
PostgreSQL. If you can use a simpler implementation that excels on reads,
use MySQL.

I prefer PostgreSQL because it has everything I'll need and the latest
versions are also fast enough that speed is not an issue.

dri modules for 7.2

[Bret Hughes]

I am trying to get dri working for my new sony laptop.  The dri FAQ on
sourceforge says that I should be using the dri modules from the XFree
code rather than that from the kernel.  The modules in question are
located in /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/char/drm on my machine
and rpm reports them as belonging the kernel rpm.

Does anyone know if these modules should work?  I am having a hard time
believing that modules compiled elsewhere are going to load properly. 
There is a lot of documentation out there and as normal some is
contradictory.

Does anyone have any pointers to getting dri working under Red Hat 7.2
(yes that is a boxed set) on an ATI Rage Mobility chip?

I have exhausted my resources without asking someone and if I have to
run glxinfo one more time tonight I am going to commit hari kari with my
pocket knife.

Any tips greatly appreciated including hey dummy that is not going to
work in spite of the docs.  Apparently there a several versions of the
chip and I can't get any decent info on which ones work and which ones
do not.

FYI here is what XFree86.0.log shows about the card.

  (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Mach64 LM rev 100, Mem @ 0xe900/24,
0xe810/12, I/O @ 0x9000/8
  

Then a little later on:

(--) ATI(0): ATI 3D Rage Mobility graphics controller detected.
(--) ATI(0): Chip type 4C4D "LM", version 4, foundry TSMC, class 0,
revision 0x01.
(--) ATI(0): AGP bus interface detected;  block I/O base is 0x9000.
(--) ATI(0): ATI Mach64 adapter detected.

I did find one guy on the dri-devel mailing list that seemed to get this
working on a dell with the same reported chipset but he was asking
questions about compiling a mach64.o module  is this what I need to do?

TIA 

Bret

Kernel-headers is the correct package. Sorry, my mistake, I thought you 
were trying to upgrade to rawhide kernels. In rawhide, kernel-headers has 
been replaced by glibc-kernheaders. 

The kernel headers i386 package is correct for athlon systems. There is 
no athlon specific kernel headers package.

I've been very happy with my Matrox G450.  I initially had some major
gripes with Mandrake about their support.  For a while, Mandrake's
releases claimed to support it when it left systems so hung that a
power-down was the only option and Mandrake refused to distribute
Matrox's binary-only driver even though it was freely distributable. 
Later on, the G450 became well-supported by XFree and was one of the
first cards to offer anti-aliased font support in KDE and now even has a
good 3D implementation out of the box.  I've got no issues at all with
TuxRacer on a fairly stock Red Hat Linux 7.2 system.

I have a lot of RAID 5 storage at work.  In fact, I use controller-based
RAID 5 (on redundant controllers) and then use hosts in separate data
centers to mirror the storage.  This gives me fault tolerance as well as
disaster tolerance.

Ditto for RAID 3.  There are bunch of other obscure RAID
implementations, although most are not officially recognized by the RAB
(Raid Advisory Board) but made up in vendors' mind and sold like a
standard.  RAID 7 and RAID S are among these.

Re: RH 7.2 not use Linuxconf? And VGA on-board problem

linuxconf is just not default installation anymore. you can install it by 
yourself.

about your vga, my guess is that Xfree86.4.x doesn't support it , you need to 
get Xfree86 3.3.6 or Xfree86svga 3.3.6 , it would work.

The "read" reads a line of input (in an interactive script this will be
from user, via the terminal) and stores the line in the variable $_ANSWER.

The next line is actually mistyped. It should read:

: ${_ANSWER:=$DEFAULT}

(Note the space after the first colon.)

This is actually a parameter substitution (see that section in "man sh").
The expression ${_ANSWER:=$DEFAULT} works as follows:

- if $_ANSWER is set and not null (not empty) then use $_ANSWER
- otherwise use $DEFAULT

The := operator here is very much like :- except that also, as a side effect,
it will set $_ANSWER to $DEFAULT if that was used. So from this point onwards
the script can use $_ANSWER, which will have been filled in from $DEFAULT if
needed.

The ":" at the front in the null command, which does nothing (like "true"
does, though historically ":" was built into the shell and "true" was
a separate program).

Its purpose here is so that the ${_ANSWER:=$DEFAULT} can take place (as an
argument to ":") with no other side effects.

In terms of what it achieves, this line:

: ${_ANSWER:=$DEFAULT}

and this line:

[ -n "$_ANSWER" ] || _ANSWER=$DEFAULT

do the same thing. Personally, I prefer the latter.

That is the common "NetBus" exploit port target of Win95/98/NT boxes. Just block ports 
12345:12346 in your firewall rules (I assume you have a firewall :-))

broken fonts with 7.2?

[Christian Forst]

Hi,

I have problems with fonts in the 7.2 distribution. For example, when
starting the program 'plan' I get a warning of a 'bad font' for
calNumberFont. Also the fonts in the menues are just squares and not
readable letters. Similar phenomen can be observed when using 'xmgr'.
Again menu entries are just squares and not readable letters. I was unable
to identify the corresponding font-family, but I downgraded to 75db and
100db fonts from the 7.1 distribution.
What's wrong here?

Thanks
Christian

Subject: OT-picture from text file


This may sound dumb but there is a good reason for asking and so far I
cannot find an answer.  I need to convert MS word documents to
pictures.  They contain fonts of other languages.  The picture gets
around the fact that those receiving the information do not have to
install the appropriate fonts.  I can convert the document to html but
it appears that unless the fonts are all installed on each machine using
a browser the foreign text is converted to English characters. An of
course if pictures of the text are used it also obviates the problem
those using Linux would experience.  I realize that I could print out
the pages and use a scanner but this is way too slow for the large
amount of work.  So I need to create a pictures file directly from the
word document.  There would be a problem because I think MS Word has
imbedded controls.  But I think I could get away with some kind of cut
and paste.  This means I would have to past into some kind of picture
processor that would accept the text without attempting to format it and
treat is as text.

Any ideas?

Re: Booting a new untested kernel remotely

[Dan Egli]

use the -R paramater for lilo. I.e. if your lilo.conf file reads as this:

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.10.img
label = stable

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.16.img
label = untested

then execute lilo -R untested, then reboot. Upon reboot, untested will load.
And then the next time the system is restarted, the normal selection process
occurs.

OK, I'll plug Blackbox :-)
What I like about it is how *dissimilar* to the windows interface it is. 
But very lightweight, fast, and efficient.  Been using it for a little

Blackbox handles both without problem, and without the bloat of those two
environments. Mike

Re: RAID Question !

Sorry do correct you Ed, but

RAID 5 is not striping + mirroring, it is stripping with distributed

It is the best compromise when you need fault tolerance, it`s cheaper
then
RAID 1 (mirroring) and the fault tolerance is also ok !

You forgot RAID 4 it is stripping with parity on one Disc ! It s

XWindows Clients for Win32

[Calbazana, Al]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good, and free of course, XWindows
client for Win32.  I have run across a few, namely VNC and a few trial
products.  I was wondering if anyone had opinions any free products out
there?  Mainly, I am interested in command line apps (so I think VNC might
be fine for me...).  SSHing into my Redhat box kinda screws up VIM sessions,
some text displays, etc..  

Thanks,

RE: pam.d related?

[Wartnick, James]

I had a similar problem 1 year ago. I was running RH 6.2. I was unable to
log on as ANYONE. The only way I could get in was booting single user mode
and automatically getting in as root. I changed the passwords as you did,
and nothing worked. What I found out was interesting (even though I never
solved the problem). When I went into single user mode, I noticed that all
of the administrative log files in /var/log were pointing to /dev/null. I
sent out messages to people who are pretty good with security. Their
thoughts were that someone hacked into the system, disabled all logins, and
were using the machine to spam or launch DOS attacks. Since all of my logs
were pointing to /dev/null (/var/log/maillog, /var/log/lastlog, ...), I was
unable to confirm this. Everything else on the system worked fine except the
fact I could not log in (the web servers were operational). I ended up doing
three things:
1) Upgrading to RH 7.1
2) Removing the RH source 
3) Removing any compilers installed

I have not had any problems since. However, I never verified if the problem
was RH or hacker related. Your problem description sounds EXACTLY the same
as mine. Check your administrative log files.

GCC 2.96 downgrading under Red Hat 7.2

[Daniel BI]

Hi all!

Cold anyone tell me how to downgrade the gcc 2.96 compiler
under linux red hat 7.2 to 2.95 ?

I ended up messing my C libraries..

Anybody could tell me exactly what C related 
(cpp, gcc, gcc-c++, libstdc++, etc.. ??!!!) programs and 
libraries do I need in order to make it to work (compile) ?

When trying to run .configure in order to build up MySQL 4.0,
it says that it has gcc, c++, but it says that the C++ cannot 
build executables..

A link to where to find them all at once (rpm preferrable),
would also be great, but I can find them if I know what I
need.

I did some rpm -ivh --force because I had some version
conflicts.. anybody can enlight me a little bit :) ?

Thank you !
DBI

I get the same thing - I use PortSentry, which somehow attracts a lot of hits
on that port, but they are false positives.  I read somewhere that PortSentry
makes it appear to portscanners as if NetBus is installed on your computer,
so the idiots keep pinging me all day because they mistakenly think my
computer is an easy target (it's not).  It leads them forever to a dead end
even though the lamers still go on thinking in their thick heads that they've
made some "real live hacker" progress.  It was annoying to me, even

It's a fairly popular trojan port. According to:

It is used by (at least) the following trojan programs:

GabanBus, icmp_client.c, icmp_pipe.c, Mypic, NetBus, NetBus Toy, NetBus

sendmail/imapd/getmail configuration

[Edwin Humphries]

I'm trying to run a sendmail/imapd/getmail (or 
fethchmail, but getmail is what I'm playing with at the 
moment) setup to:

*   send mail from clients via SMTP

*   collect mail from external pop accounts and 
distribute them to relevant users (we don't have a 
fixed IP)

*   trap internal emails and hold them for collection

*   forward email to one account for an external ISP

I can successfully use sendmail to send to any external 
email address, but at the moment, I'm having two 
problems:

1.  I can send mail to either username@domainname, or 
username@servername; but I can't get it via pop - 
the clients (Pegasus 4 on WinNT4) don't report any 
error code on sending or receiving, but the emails 
(tests only, thankfully) aren't found. The imap 
server is the Mark Crispin one that comes with Red 
Hat 6.2 - documentation is almost non-existent. I 
presume it's not finding the sendmail mailboxes, 
but I don't know how to change this. Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.

2.  I don't know what to configure getmail to as the 
default directories into which it will place the 
got mail, so that imapd will serve them to the 
clients. It seems the sendmail mailboxes are files 
rather than directories (is this right?); how then 
do I post the emails to them?

3.  I believe I can use sendmail to forward the emails 
externally using a /etc/mail/virtusertable; I've 
also picked up that I can create a .forward file in 
the user's mailbox, and it will be automatically 
forwarded (by sendmail or imapd?). Which is the 
better approach?

RH72 shipped with Nautilus instead of gmc. Nautilus is a resource hog that's
not worth what it takes to run it on my machine (K6/350MHz, 220MB RAM).

First, start gmc from an xterm as a background process:

  gmc &

Look for the GNOME Settings menu and select "Session". Then select Nautilus
and change it's property from respawn to normal, then kill it. Then select
gmc and change it from normal to respawn. If that's not enough difference,
try a lighter window manager like XFCE.

These are all updates, I believe? If so, and the MD5 sums are good, 
install with rpm -Fvh to freshen the packages. -Uvh (upgrade) will work 
as well, however, it will also install packages which are not already 
installed.
By the way, you can also check the md5sum using:
md5sum filename
or
md5sum *.rpm to check all the rpms in the directory.

Another good reason to install the man pages, 'man' is your friend.
man md5sum, for example. ;)

> SRPMS:

You probably don't need the above rpm installed.

> athlon:
> kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm
> kernel-smp-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm

Unless you have a dual processor Athlon system, forget the kernel-smp 
package. If you don't have an Athlon system, forget all the Athlon 
kernels. ;)

> i386:
> kernel-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm

If you install the Athlon kernel package above, you shouldn't need this 
one. If you have an Athlon system, and it runs well with an Athlon 
optimized kernel, then I'd stick with that. If you get random kernel 
panics using the Athlon kernel, you can boot with the noathlon flag, and 
then install the i686 (or i386) package.

> kernel-source-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm

The above is used if you plan on compiling your own kernel.

> kernel-headers-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm

This should be installed.

> 386/kernel-doc-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm

kernel documentation, optional.

> kernel-BOOT-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm

This is the kernel used by the installer, you can leave it out.

If your running an i386, don't install the athlon kernel.
You probably want:
One kernel package to match your machine architecture.
The kernel-headers.
Possibly the kernel-doc and kernel-source packages.

This is the source.rpm used by redhat to build all the kernels. You 
probably don't want that, but the kernel-source.rpm instead.

You'll probably want to install the man pages, they come in handy. I use

RMT DEVICE HANGS

[Pablo L. Robles]

Hello Fellows!

I need some help... when I use the "mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn offline" command
and the device is not plugged to the data cable it hangs and there is no
kill that will terminate the the process other than a reset of the
workstation. Before someone tells me to connect the device.. I work
testing tape backup drives, 24 drives are tested at once and if one has
a bad interface card, the same as having the cable disconnected, the
device will hang until the next reset. I tried resetting the device card
via an utility provided by the vendor. In the messages log I see how the
card resets and comes online again, but the kernel will not release the
device, keep getting device busy when trying to access the device. If I
close the xterm where I ran the command the PPID changes to 1. Does
anyone knows of a way to stop this type of command? Why don't I get a
drive not present or I/O error message? By the way the device type is
fibre channel.

Enlighten me please...

Pablo L. Robles

Re: linux-windows network

[hanfamily]

Hi,
What are your trying to do? I have found it easiest to
work on one thing at a time. There are plenty of people
on the list that will help you if you can't get it to work
after reading the howtos. You can use your Linux box to
connect to your ISP and share the connection with the
windows box. You can share printers and copy files back
and forth with samba. I started by getting the network
connection working
Here is what I did to get network up with my card. The
notes are from when I was running 6.0 but will give
you a place to start.
I am running RH 6.0 and it was incredibly simple
1. Install Network Card and attach to hub.
  I use D-Link DFE-530 TX Cards the module
  comes with RH 6.0 it is via-rhine
2. Put  IP addresses and names in /etc/hosts
   (You can actually do this with linux conf put
 I did by hand)
3. Make sure /etc/host.conf has
order hosts, bind
   make sure hosts.allow and hosts.deny are setup right
4. Enter linuxconf and go to Network configuration
Basic Host  Assign Machine Name and
IP Address
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 or private addresses
5. check to make sure
alias eth-0 via-rhine
was added to /etc/conf.modulees (subsititute module you need for your
card)
6. Reboot Computer
7.should show starting eth0 and l0
type
   ifconfig -a
   should show eth0 and l0
  ping 127.0.0.1
ctrl c to break out.
  If you can not ping yourself you proably do not start network in sys
services
  ntsysv
  turn on network
  reboot
  try again. If it works Install on next computer.
8; try ping and the new computers ip address

What I did to get samba working:

1. Deleted NetBeui protocol from windows machines
   set up user name and password to match unix login and password
2. set netbios name in smb.conf
3. set workgroup name in smb.conf
4. uncomment bsd printing line
5. uncomment encryption ( with shop will need to uncomment password as
mixed case)
6. populate smbpasswd
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd
set smbpasswd with smbpasswd command
7. set up file shares for zipdrive made change to etc/fstab for user
   mounting of dos zip drives
8. start samba with /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
9. change system services so samba will start on boot
Part of smb.conf file
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed

#=== Global Settings
=
[global]
# set the netbios machine name for the server
  netbios name = A

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name

Well, you're sorta comparing new oranges to old apples there.  Both 
KDE and Gnome's speed seem to be on a par with the latest Microsoft 
GUIs, but all are considerably slower than Win9x.

You should investigate a lighter window manager.  I'm an Enlightenment
devotee; it's truly beautiful, and is faster than the heavyweight
desktop environments, but takes more time to learn to configure and
use, and can be equally slow if you go too heavy on the effects.  
FVWM is unbeatable for speed, but not particularly easy for a Winbie
to get used to.  I haven't tried XFce, but from what I've seen and
heard, it looks like a good combination of useability and light
weight.  Any of these can be made intuitive, though, if you take the
time to configure an environment that's appropriate for the user.  I
use Enlightenment in my public kiosk build, which traps the user in
Mozilla, and no one even knows they're not using Windows.  Just about
anything is possible.

Nice thing about KDE is that you can configure lots of its display 
aspects that affect speed.  Same may be true of Gnome, I just haven't 
spent as much time with it.  Pay attention to the options KDE shows 
you when you first fire it up for a new user.

>(e.g., the distinction between X, Gnome, and
>Sawmill is not clear to me).

Briefly and perhaps not perfectly accurate, but close enough for rock
and roll: X is basically the video driver.  Sawmill is the window
manager, which controls where windows go and how you interact with
them. Gnome is the "desktop environment" -- the eye candy, toolbars,
menus, and other things that enhance useability and accessibility.  
In X, unlike in Microsoft Windows, these components are mostly
interchangeable, but some packages (such as Enlightenment) strive to
do more than one of the above.  That, I'm sure, is why Enlightenment
was dropped from the default Gnome installation -- it was trying to be
too much of an "environment", and was fighting with Gnome for control
over things like the background settings.  Sawmill is just a polite
"yes man" that only does one thing: manages windows.

The quickest way to speed everything up is to add memory, and it's 
dirt cheap right now.  Load it up.

Good luck ... -d

Re: Command Line audio player

[Statux]

sox does .wav, etc. Use sox with the play command:

# play sound.wav

mpg123 is the most widely used mp3 player for Linux, I'd have to say. In 
fact, XMMS, for instance, uses mpg123 for its backend processing of MP3s. 
XMMS is mostly just a front end, FYI.

Making Gnome+RH 7.2 faster?

[Alan Mead]

I am preparing a used computer for my mother.  I installed win98 SE and then
Enigma.  Of course, I'm rooting for Linux but I notice that when I boot
Windows it flies while Gnome is quite slow.  KDE seems to run faster (also
the little "hourglass" animations are psychologically pleasing).  Is it
possible to make Gnome faster?  Can it be configured to have "hourglass"
icons?  How would I diagnose the choke points? Or should I just stick with
KDE?  Although I've used Linux for years and I've used an old RH 7.1 desktop
for a while, I have not tinkered with GUI much and really don't know the
first thing about the internals (e.g., the distinction between X, Gnome, and
Sawmill is not clear to me).

The machine has two WD drives, a 20GB primary and a 4GB slave, both on ide0
controller.  I don't know how fast the drives are.  The machine has 96 MB
RAM and is a PII/266.  I installed Linux with 250 MB of swap, a boot
partition, and another big root partition--all on the big drive.  The extra
disk will be a shared vfat disk.

Thanks!

Apache under very high traffic

[Fire Dragon]

I am currently experiencing some strangeness with Apache 1.3.19 & PHP 3.0.18 on RedHat 
7.0, 7.1 and 7.2.

Servers are HP LP1000r Dual CPU Pentium III machines with 1GB ram.

In looking through this we have recompiled apache and php with different options 
including trying with dmalloc to see if this is a memorly leak. I have used mtrace 
against the httpd daemon itself and against everything it links too and it blesses 
each file with no memory leaks.

There are approximately on average 100 apache processes running at any given point in 
time each taking up between 4MB and 9MB of ram.

Approximately 2 weeks ago we started having problems with the machines running out of 
ram. Before apache starts the first time there is about 800MB of physical ram free. 
After around 10 minutes of running we are down to about 4MB of physical ram free and 
it starts hitting swap space. We shut down apache and that frees up around 400MB of 
ram. Now there is only 400MB of free ram and then we restart apache. Now we are having 
to restart apache every 10 minutes to keep apache serving requests.

Any suggestions?

This would be the logrotate script running to rotate your apache logs.

Apache must be restarted to rotate the logs other wise you will end up with a log file 
that has nothing in it to the same byte position as where the rotation took place. 
This prevents you from say rotating a 1GB access log file and starting the logging in 
apache at the 1GB mark.

IP forwarding problems

[Art Ross]

I've transfered my home network router from one RH6.2 box to a new RH6.2
box.  The new box is just the canned RedHat Server installation.  I've
managed to get the two interfaces working (eth0 and a modem) and
ipchains up.  There is a variable that must be set to the value of '1'
to forward ip requests through this box.  It is
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.  This can be done manually by using the
command; echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.  My problem is this.
The value will not stay at '1' after a reboot or restart.  Right now, I
use ssh to remotely correct this problem everytime the system restarts
but this is getting old.

Thinking that I simply needed to set 'FORWARD_IPV4' in the
/etc/sysconfig/network file to 'yes'.  I tried this but it didn't
correct the problem.

What am I overlooking?

Best Regards,
  Art

This did the trick.  I didn't try it previously because I have a duron, but
I guess Red Hat also installs the Athlon kernel on Durons.

Re: KPersonalizer and Autostart

Edit the one in /etc/skel/.kde/Autostart/Autorun.desktop

Then each new user created gets that as the default.

You may find you can use this technique to fix your above problem as well,
but I can't say for sure. "/etc/skel" is where you put all your "default
stuff to give each new user" stuff.

Have fun,

Thanks. So far everything has gone fine. As you said, the nvidia drivers
were easy to install and work great - you have to love 1600x1200 on a
laptop. Sound and ethernet (both built in and wireless) work
automagically as pretty much everything else did.

It looks like we need to compile in a kernel module to make the i8k
stuff work. I installed it and got that far. When I do my kernel burn in
test, I'll mod the kernel config. First off I need to make sure it works
ok under w2k - aparrantly some people are experiencing lockups due to
nvidia driver problems. I've had it lock up on me twice, but it's hard
to tell what happened since it was idle at the time.

I am having trouble finding a css library for xine to play encrypted
DVDs. I seem to be able to play unencrypted DVDs ok, but with an older
(maybe .4?) version with support for encrypted DVDs I couldn't get sound
to work. Anyone have a newish version of xine that works with encryptred
DVDs?

Under w2k I can hot swap the floppy/DVD, so I'm hoping to find a way to
do this under linux too. Linux does this happily with hot-swap hard
drive carriers as long as there is a drive in when you boot. Without it,
linux somehow needs to be told to rescan the IDE bus and detect the
device. I believe the same needs to occur here with the floppy/dvd
switching. Anyone know how to do this?

Oh, I had to do some manual rpm conflict resolution toget ximian gnome
to install - right after a fresh 7.2 install. I dunno.

otherwise very happy.

I want to use the same router ( old which supports
well for IPX ) . I want to know how do I tunnel IP
over IPX using LINUX (REDHAT) , so I can communicate
with IP over IPX router between two.


Could someone guide me.

It is telling you it doesn't have the public key it needs to verify the 
files.
You need to download and import Red Hat's public gpg key. It should be 
available from their website, it is also possibly included on the install 
cds. I seem to remember it also being imported when you run up2date, and 
up2date tries to install a package.
Save it to a file, and then use gpg --import [filename] should do it.
'man gpg' for more detail.

Yes.  I copied and pasted the command from RH 7.2 upgrade guide.

I recognize having committed a mistake.  Now it worked.

Did you copy and paste the command from somewhere?
The above is telling you that '$' isn't a valid command, which is correct.
The command you want is: rpm -K --nopgp *rpm 
The $ is intended to represent the command prompt.

RPM is probably already installed.

> 2) Is the abovementioned package sufficient for upgrade the kernel ?

Yes. Though you shouldn't upgrade the kernel. It's generally better to 
install the new kernel alongside the old one, so you have a known good 
kernel to fall back on if something goes wrong.
I generally use rpm -ivh for the kernel package, and rpm -Fvh for the 
kernel source and headers. 

> 3) Where can I locate the  "header" rpm ?

Kernel headers have been moved to a new package.
glibc-kernheaders is the new package, I believe.
Since this is a new package, you'll need to use rpm -ivh on this package.

Hope that helps,

i've been running rh 7.2 on an inspiron 8100 for a couple of months now --
love it, just love it.  apparently, there's a collection of i8k user-space

Another alternative is to use the fdisk provided with Redhat in the CD its
in the subfolder Dostools
that works well

Right click on xmms -> options -> easy move (or just click CTRL+e).  Then, 
you'll be able to move the xmms window by clicking anywhere in it.

Also, I believe that most window manager default settings include 
ALT+Button1 as an alternative to moving windows by grabbing the title bar.

Upgrade to the libvorbis and vorbis packages from Red Hat 7.2.  If you 
upgrade both, there won't be a conflict.

red hat 7.2 rebate offer and really p*ssing one off

[rpjday]

  a number of folks on this forum probably remember the rebate
offer associated with red hat 7.2: send in proof of purchase for
both 7.2 and a recent, previous version of red hat, and get
$20 back.  sounded like a nice idea at the time.

  for technical reasons (being in the midst of messing with my
print system at the time), i wasn't able to download and print
the PDF rebate form from red hat's site, so what the heck i
thought, i just printed the critical info neatly on a blank
piece of paper (you know, name, address, etc.), tucked my
UPC codes and receipt in an envelope, and mailed it off.
and waited.  and waited.

  and just now, i got an email from "the rebate center"
(clearly an independent organization to whom red hat 
sub-contracted the rebate process), telling me that my
rebate has been denied.  reason?  original rebate form
not submitted.  apparently, the fact that they clearly
have all the information they need is not enough, no,
they want it on the *exactly* the form that was on the
web site.  which, naturally, is not *on* red hat's site any
more since the rebate offer has ended.

  if that's not stupid and inflexible enough, the email
return address is "Rebate Center"@localhost.localdomain,
just to make sure they make my life as inconvenient as
possible -- they supply only a non-toll-free number that
i can call to (apparently) argue my case.

  and, oh yes, just to make this as annoying as possible,
the email was in HTML.  so, red hat, i'm curious --
did you *deliberately* look for the most inflexible,
bureaucratic, incompetent company to handle these rebates?
or did it just turn out that way?

  god help us all if you hire your trademark lawyers from
the same place.

rday
