I don't have the time to check and see what the latest Red Hat RPM kernel file available on their servers is. In any case, if you are referring to the pristine source from kernel.org or one of their mirrors, take a look at the README file once you extract the tarball. You have all the directions there. On the other hand, if you have the RPM kernel you should install it using the regular 'rpm' command although most likely you'll want to make sure you run it with the 'rpm -ivh' options instead of 'rpm -Uvh'.

Are you trying to install Red Hat Linux into a laptop via NFS? If so, how come you are using Linuxconf from the laptop? Perhaps just testing it? We need to know what error message is the client getting, and also what error you see on the server side. First of all, try running the following command from the laptop (as root): mount server:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom This assumes that you also mounted the CD-ROM under /mnt/cdrom on the server side. Now, what error do you get from this command? What do you see in the /var/log/messages file on the server when running the command? Other things you can do from the laptop too: /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p server /usr/sbin/showmount -e server What output are you getting from these? Did you run the 'exportfs -s' on the server after setting it all up?

You'll have to add something like this to the header of the script: #!/bin/sh -x This will display a lot of comments as the script runs which should help you figure out what is wrong with it. In any case, whenever I encountered this error with my own scripts it was usually because I forgot to add the closing brackets in a while or if loop or something like that. It seems to be due to syntax errors most of the time. Other than that, you may want to try editing the file in vim again to see if you are welcome with an error warning that you should run vim with the "-r" option to reopen the previous session that crashed.

RPM packages are most of the time relocatable, right? If that's the case, you should be able to use the --relocate option with the 'rpm' command. See the man page for more information.

It seems to me that you may be confusing the concepts of directory, partitions and file systems although I may be completely misunderstanding you. If that's the case, my apologies. What's the _complete_ output of the 'df -h' command? I'd say you are simply moving files from "/" to, say, "/usr", but _both_ are actually mounted on the root filesystem. Does it make any sense? The "mounted on" does not mean that you have a whole partition mounted on a single directory. It is mounted on that directory and subdirectories too, and this includes /usr, /var, /tmp, etc. If that's the case, simply moving files from / to /usr would not save any space at all. -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Can you think of any reason as to why nscd is returning the following error?
connect(6, {sun_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1
ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
Also, are you in a NIS environment by any chance? I can see several system
calls that involve a NIS configuration. Are you running 'nscd'? Check it
out with 'ps auxw | grep nscd' for instance.

Basically, the whole thing boils down to: o "Sources familiar with the situation emphatically insisted the two companies are not near an acquisition deal, nor have they discussed one." o "Still, even if the two companies are not considering a merger, AOL Time Warner could license Red Hat for use on PCs or other devices for use with its online service." Something like this would still be great news for Red Hat (especially since they have been pushing their toolkit for embedded devices lately) and would still keep the company's independence as we all like it. On the other hand, when it comes to AOL it seems to me that they have already seen the writing in the wall, just like Netscape did several years ago. If Microsoft's monopoly in the desktop market is left untouched (and the latest news we got from the DOJ vs. Microsoft case seem to point in that direction), they'd better figure out a way to steal market share from Windows XP et alii or Microsoft will also end up imposing its own MSN and related applications in that market. Summing up, it seems to me that we are not witnessing an acquisition but rather a "strategical partnership". -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

In any case, I'm not saying I'm really excited by the news. All I'm saying is that, given the track record of Red Hat so far I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. As I said in my original message, if they do something I don't like I will _then_ jump to Debian most likely. In the meantime, all I'll do is _prepare_ for the eventuality. That's all. Let's not forget that Netscape was doomed way before AOL bought it, and they still seem to be supportive of the Mozilla project anyways. Nevertheless, if I see something like what happened in the case of Netscape also happening to Red Hat (i.e. employees fleeing the place), I will then consider switching to another distro. I don't feel any sort of loyalty to any institution (and this includes governments and countries as well), but rather to the people behind them. If knowledgeable Red Hat employees that I respect start leaving the company, I may switch to Debian then.

If a merger or buyout does happen, you can bet I'll be trying to get more familiar with Debian, just in case. At least they cannot be bought. Yet, there is no doubt in my mind that I'd rather give Red Hat the benefit of the doubt. They have turned out an excellent product that, at least in my view, far surpasses the overall quality of the other distributions in the market. This is precisely what drove me to use Red Hat back with the 4.2 release several years ago, and I don't think it has changed ever since. Second, Red Hat has proven their commitment to open source so far where it matters: with their products, and not only with words. They have been releasing everything (as far as I know) with a GPL license, which among other things has been used by certain people to start their own distributions. Not since the old days of the SLS distro has another single distribution spawned so many other players in the Linux market (well, perhaps Debian is on a par with Red Hat here). Third, Red Hat still has excellent developers and employees who have been working their asses off for several years to turn out great products, great service and great support. While they remain in their positions doing what they have been doing all these years, chances are they will still have my support and I will still use Red Hat. I also dislike the elitist comments I read in some messages regarding AOL, and sort of reminds me of the position a lot of people in the Linux community take to Eric Raymond's calls to make the OS more user-friendly. The fact that something is more difficult to use does not necessarily mean it is a better technology. Yes, the opposite is also true, but let's not use this as an argument. Finally, the messages that seem to blame AOL for Netscape's doom seem to forget that Netscape was doomed a long time before AOL even stepped into the stage. By the way, they are also the guys who have been feeding the Mozilla project for several years now. Thanks to then, we have Mozilla and Galeon, among other things. ... and no, I'm not linked to either AOL or Red Hat in _any_ way whatsoever. It just annoys me to see this type of reaction when both Red Hat and their employees have given so much to the Linux community. -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Booting a new untested kernel remotely
Got a simple question, although perhaps the answer is not so simple. I have a RH 7.2 system running LILO that I'm using to test new kernels. Yet, there is not graphics console attached to the system. I'd like to know if there is any simple way to configure LILO to boot a new untested kernel only _once_ so that if it fails I can always shut down the system and safely boot into the old tested kernel. Is there any way to either configure LILO to do this or pass a given option to 'init' or 'shutdown' so that it automatically boots into a given kernel _only_ once?

I just thought it was important to point this out since the default kernel does not come configured with these tools to the best of my knowledge. -- -- Nitebirdz -- XFS for Linux: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I've been wanting to try XFree86 on Windows for a while now. I do run Cygwin on my wife's Windows computer to write shell scripts for backups, etc. (Windows _really_ sucks at this), but didn't find the time to play with XFree86 yet. -- -- Nitebirdz -- http://www.linuxnovice.org News, tips, articles, links... *** XFS for Linux: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs *** *** http://www.mozilla.org *** ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

He released that update as the 2.2 kernel maintainer, not as a Red Hat employee.

All of a sudden, with > 7.2 booted you think you're gonna die waiting for anything you do. > Fred, I installed the beta version of Red Hat Linux 7.2 on a system with 128 MB of memory, and also noticed how slow it was compared to my main system (256 MB of memory and SCSI drive). I first blamed it on the smaller amount of memory, but then a fellow pointed out that there is a good chance it could also be due to the kernel itself and all the VM issues it has been experiencing. Did you try installing a different kernel from the 2.4 series? Did you try with the ac kernels? I still have a feeling if you add more memory (pretty cheap these days, isn't it? :) ) it should work fine. Of course, that brings up a completely different issue: is Red Hat Linux able to run on older hardware with not so much memory? My guess is that it would as long as you don't install XFree86, KDE, Gnome, etc. but this is admittedly only a guess. -- -- Nitebirdz -- http://www.linuxnovice.org News, tips, articles, links... *** XFS for Linux: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs *** *** http://www.mozilla.org *** ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Also, check out your /var/log/sa directory to see if the files are there. They should be ASCII files. Also, check out the manual page on 'sa1' and the cron job in /etc/cron.hourly, since it seems to me that it is running from there. -- -- Nitebirdz -- http://www.linuxnovice.org News, tips, articles, links... *** XFS for Linux: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs *** *** http://www.mozilla.org *** ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

It's a package managing system, not so different from deb in Debian or the ports collections in the BSDs, or tardist in the case of IRIX. If you're really interested in building RPMs, subscribe to the rpm-list: http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/rpm-list/index.html You can also obtain more information here (the last one may be especially useful to you, since you seem to be interested in using RPM in a non-Linux UNIX environment): http://www.rpm.org/ http://www.linux.ncsu.edu/lug/lectures/rpm-pres/ http://www.redhat.com/docs/books/ http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/index.html http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/RPM-for-Unix-HOWTO.html CVS and RPM are two totally different things. The first allows you to manage source code: versions, multiple check-ins, roll backs, etc. The second allows you to build a package that you can easily install and upgrade on a RPM based system. Not sure what you mean by "a hook" between them. Their goal is completely different. -- -- Nitebirdz -- http://www.linuxnovice.org News, tips, articles, links... *** XFS for Linux: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs *** *** http://www.mozilla.org *** ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
