Hello, everyone, I am sorry if my question is far off topic. I do not know exactly which mailinglist I should post this question to. I have a bunch of mpg files.

Re: Free partitioning software ?
Great! Then I do not have to spend money on partition magic any more. It is huge and who need to install PM on win2k for a once a year partition change? Anyway, Reuben, I would recommend that you defrag current partition thoroughly and make sure no file exists at the end of the partition. Then, start your PC with the first Mandrake CD ... Good luck.

Re: Free partitioning software ?
GNU parted sounds promising. Although you should be SUPER careful about its command line syntax. Anyway, Mandrake linux's partition tool diskdrake supports resize. Does anyone know what kind of resize it is? Can it move existing data around if necessary? If it can, diskdrake is much easier to use than parted.

Re: Free partitioning software ?
I read a little bit of its FAQ. If I am not mistaken, it resizes partitions by: 1. change the partition size. 2. let win2k/win98 fix/recover the remaining files. This is NOT safe at all. If I have 2.5G data on a 6G drive and resize the partition to 2G, I will lose data. Also, data on a partition is generally not continuous so even I only have 1G data, they have good chance to be at the end of the partition.

Re: Free partitioning software ?
Sorry that I misunderstood the original email. My case was that I had a 6G and I bought another 80G. When partition magic (it claims that it can handle 80G HD) failed, I used win2k disk manager to make partitions for both win2k and Linux and it worked well. It is true that win2k can not resize partition. The only tool I used for this purpose is partition magic.

If you are using win2k, you can use its own disk manager to make partitiona, format etc. And then run Linux installation. It worked well for me, even for my 80G HD.

Re: Newbie question: configure, make, make install
Simply put: ./configure.. there are more than many Unix systems and they all differ in minor ways. ./configure is a script to detect your system settings. Usually, .h files will be generated for later use. make.. compile surce files (for example .c .h ) to executable files. make install... put the executables in place. This is the usual use of those. Someone can, however, let configure, make, make install do whatever they want. :-) Bo On Mon, Aug 26, 2002 at 07:50:53AM -0700, Brian Lucas wrote: > I have been able to build several programs following the standard > configure, make, and make install programs.

Re: ssh server installation problem.
I tried from a server in the same subnet.

ssh server installation problem.
I installed Redhat linux 7.3 without openssh-server. I then downloaded and installed openssh-server-3.1p1-6. However, when I started sshd via /sbin/services sshd -start, I could not connect to my machine from any other machine. I always get "FATAL: Connecting to bp6.stat.rice.edu failed: Connection Refused" I believe that my ssh-server is installed and running since I can ssh localhost. My ssh client is working OK since I can connect to other machines. I checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config (I was told that I need to change nothing.) and found nothing wrong. I also checked /etc/hosts.allow and ... Where else might I do wrong? Thanks.
