Something like:
find /path/to/directory -type d -exec chmod 775 "{}" \;
Or, if you want to be prompted before each chmod command is executed:
find /path/to/directory -type d -ok chmod 775 "{}" \;

The base install should take less than 200 megs. You may have selected
other package groups which require sendmail or ssh. Would you mind
sending me a copy of /root/scripts/install_log offlist?

Just to clarify:
We don't, and never have, called RULE "Red Hat Linux".
We do however call it an installer for Red Hat Linux. Quite some time ago,
I asked about this on the Anaconda-devel list.
Here is a short snip from the mail detailing both my question and an
answer from Red Hat's Matt Wilson: (The full text is available in the
anaconda-devel list archives.) I am not a lawyer, I don't think Matt is a
lawyer, this shouldn't be relied upon as a legal opinion, etc

To which Matt replied:
Since your project uses original (unmodified) Red Hat Linux CDs or
other install media, and since it's not a commercial endeavor, this
should be fine.

Removing the lockfile (/var/lock/subsys/httpd) should allow the service
command to work normally. If you use the service command rather than
"killall' to stop the server, the lock file will be removed in the
process. Try "service httpd stop" to shutdown httpd.

I don't disagree.

There are plenty of cases where backups aren't done, or aren't done often
enough. (Think home user) I wasn't advocating Red Hat including a
function to back up the rpm database (or anything else), just a quick
script for a user to do it manually. Sure, you back up your data, and I
back up mine. There are plenty of cases where users don't create backups
of anything at all. In such a situation, a user created cron job to make
backups of the rpm database can't be a bad thing. If they loose a disk,
they are sunk anyway, but if they hose the rpm database, recovery is as
simple as a 'cp' command.

Actually, I wrote it in response to a posting on one of the Red Hat lists.
Someone was trying to salvage a database, and asked how to do it.
I moved the rpm database out of the way on a test machine, rebuilt it, and
created a script of the commands I'd used.
I've used it for a client or two since then as well.

It's GPL, they know where to find it if they want to include it. ;)

Hrmm, not a bad idea. Simple enough to accomplish via a cron job.
You'd want to add some error checks and remove older backups, but
basically this should work:
#!/bin/bash
newdir="/var/lib/rpmdb-$(date +%Y%m%d)"
mkdir -p $newdir
cp -a /var/lib/rpm/* $newdir
chown -R rpm.rpm $newdir

Just to clarify what happens with /var/logs/rpmpkgs, logrotate isn't the
big problem
/var/logs/rpmpkgs gets overwritten daily by a cron job. If the cron job
has run with no database, the file will probably be empty. However, you
should have a copy that is a week out of date. /var/log/rpmpkgs.1 to the
rescue, in that case. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

If /var/log/rpmpkgs exists and is current (Save it quickly before it gets
rotated by log rotate), and you have available the rpm packages (On CD,
in /var/spoll/up2date, etc.) I have a script that can help.
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/hacks/recover_rpm_db.sh
./recover_rpm_db.sh
Usage: recover_rpm_db.sh -f [file_name] -p [path[s] to rpm files].
Where 'file_name' is a file containing a list of rpm packages
that should be included in the rpm database, and -p is the
path or paths that contain the rpm packages.
Hope that helps,

No message is sent if the ‘To:’ or the ‘Cc:’ line does not list the
user to whom the original message was sent or one of a number of
aliases for them, if the initial From line includes one of the strings
- -request@, postmaster, uucp, mailer-daemon, mailer or -relay or if a
‘Precedence: bulk’ or ‘Precedence: junk’ or ‘Precedence: list’ line is
included in the header. The search for special senders is made case-
independant.

I am sure there are other ways, and this is not a very good solution
You can set the users shell to /bin/bash, login as the user, set up
vacation, exit, reset the shell to /sbin/nologin. The user will need a
$HOME directory, or vacation will probably fail as it can't write to
$HOME/.vacation.db
Not an elegant solution by any means, but it does appear to work.

It seems to work here on my system. (I maintain a vacation rpm that works
with smrsh.)
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/vacation-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm
I installed the package, and then logged in as a user.
(The /etc/smrsh link is created by the package when installed)
I ran vacation without options, which creates .forward and allows you to
edit .vacation.msg. (Exit the editor (vi by default) with :q)
Then run vacation -I
Mail sent to the user gets a vacation message in reply.
Hope that helps,

The mysql directory above looks suspect. It should be the path to the
mysql libraries, not to the mysql include directory.
Try replacing /usr/include/mysql with
/usr/lib/mysql
Then run ldconfig again.

You might try the lha package included with the distro. I've never used it
myself, but it appears to do what you want:
$ rpm -qip /devel/dist-7.3/stock/RedHat/RPMS/lha-1.14i-4.i386.rpm
[...]
Description :
LHA is an archiving and compression utility for LHarc format archives.
LHA is mostly used in the DOS world, but can be used under Linux to
extract DOS files from LHA archives.
Install the lha package if you need to extract DOS files from LHA
archives.

If the user is using the KDE desktop:
rm ~/.kde/Autostart/Autorun.desktop
Other options:
rpm -e autorun
rpm -e magicdev
Removing both packages is the first thing I do on a new system.

This may be a silly question, as I haven't followed this thread.
Are you sure m4 is installed? I recently set up a server, and selected a
custom install of base packages, named, sendmail, and a few other package
groups. On startup sendmail didn't work. It turns out that m4 didn't get
installed. Sendmail-cf didn't explicity list m4 as a "requires", so it
didn't get pulled in. The error messages generated did nothing to help
track down the problem.

If the correct comments are added to the startup script, putting the
script into /etc/init.d/ and running:
'/sbin/chkconfig --add script_name'
'/sbin/chkconfig script_name on'
is all that should be required. The links are managed by chkconfig, and
there is no reason to attempt managing them by hand.
The required comments needed in the script are:
# chkconfig: 2345 11 89
# description: starts my script
2345 denotes runlevels where the script should be activated.
11 is the boot time start order.
89 is the order of shut down.
Chkconfig will create and manage the K89myscript and S11myscript links in
/etc/rc*.d
You may want to add functions to the script for 'start', 'stop',
'restart', etc. Have a look at an existing script in /etc/init.d for
ideas on how make the modifications.

That's the thing about defaults, you don't have to ask. ;)
You can specify how large to make the file system, though.
The smallest I've been able to actually create is 64k.
Anything smaller results in:

Install the cabextract and xf86-corefonts rpm packages, then just run the
setup script: /usr/X11R6/bin/core_font_install.sh
It will install Microsoft's "core fonts for the web".
Hope that helps,

Others have already answered, but none really addressed the issue above,
as far as I saw.
First, I don't believe you lost any mail. It appears from my logs that
spamassassin stops processing the message, but it is still delivered.
Jun 1 20:46:22 paradox spamd[16464]: bad protocol: header error:
(Content-length mismatch: 3769 vs. 3766)
Jun 1 20:46:22 paradox sendmail[16458]: h5H0kLXc016441:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local,
pri=87644, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
Each error in my logs is immediatly followed by another indicating
delivery.
- From the logs, and the fact that the message appeared in my mailbox
without any spamassin headers, I'm guessing spamassassin didn't process
it, and it was then delivered. I've also found that most of the messages
triggering this are, in fact, spam. ;)
I haven't done a lot of testing, and I've since upgraded spamassassin to
version 2.55. I just rebuilt the src.rpm from rawhide.
(spamassassin-2.55-2.src.rpm)
I added a line to /etc/init.d/spamassassin:
export LANG=en_US
I've no idea if the above line actually helps any, but it was suggested
here:
http://spamassassin.org/dist/INSTALL
Look for the paragraph header:
Note for Perl 5.8 Users (incl Red Hat 8)
I haven't seen any log messages related to spamassassin since upgrading
and modifying the init script.

Then, you should apply all the available updates, one of which addresses

You'll need to check the config file, and verify the ports that portsentry
binds to, making sure they don't conflict with mysql, etc.

With the exception of the kernel (only because no i386 package is
distributed with the release) all the Red Hat 9 binaries should run fine
on an i386.
The rule project's "slinky" installer (Which does contain an i386 kernel)
should be able to handle this task without much difficulty.

You really want a firewall, portsentry isn't enough.

Modules.conf entries are unlikely to help with a lockup. Is X locking up,
or the kernel? Are you using KDE or Gnome?
If you are using KDE, and you start GAIM as 'artsdsp gaim' does that help?
artsdsp is a script that attempts to reroute calls to /dev/dsp through the
sound server. The soundserver locks /dev/dsp when it is in use, and can
prevent non arts aware programs from accessing the sound device.
You might try the same thing with xmms as well.
There is a similar script for Gnome, called "esddsp"
Sorry, I don't use either application here, so I haven't seen this
problem.

I believe it is the arts sound server probing for sound cards.
I stopped it with the following entries in modules.conf:
alias sound-service-0-0 off
alias sound-slot-1 off
alias sound-service-1-0 off

It means the permissions are different on the 2 versions. The modules

I assume this is while running the old kernel, and the module that is
loaded is the module for that version?
Not being able to see what's happening, I'm guessing here..
If the root filesystem is connected to this controller, you probably have
to include the module in the initrd.img file so that it is available
before the filesystem is mounted. In other words, if the module isn't in
the initrd.img, the kernel can't access the /lib/modules/.. directory to
load it, since it can't mount the file system.
Does the file /boot/initrd-2.4.18-27.8.0.img exist? If so, does grub (or
lilo) have a pointer to it? Here is my stanza from /etc/grub.conf:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-27.8.0)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-27.8.0.img
You mentioned an error or warning when installing the kernel package
previously, I believe? Can you provide more details? This would make
sense, if the above is correct. At the time you installed the kernel, a
module that should have been included in the initrd didn't exist.
You can try creating a new initrd.img: (from memory, man mkinitrd for
details)
mkinitrd -f -v -with=hpt302.o /boot/initrd-2.4.18-27.8.0.img 2.4.18-27.8.0
I'm not sure on the 'with' parameter, or if it is really needed in this
case. It may need the module name, or perhaps the full path. The output
from running the command should give you a clue.

You can import Red Hat's key into the rpm database. All official Red Hat
packages are signed. To import the key:
rpm --import /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-8.0/RPM-GPG-KEY

I don't use Konqueror, but I'd guess this is a configuration option.
In a previous mail, you checked your java version by using
/path/to/java/plugin -version. Your result was: java version "1.3.1_02"
You really want to check for the java executable, not the plugin. The
plugin can be checked in Mozilla, click help -> about plugins
Check in /usr/java/ which is probably where the j2re package installed to.
If you installed the Sun rpm version, 'rpm -q j2re' should return the
package name and version. If that works 'rpm -ql j2re' will list all the
installed files. If not, use 'locate'. I get:
$ locate java | grep "bin/java"
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin/java
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin/java_vm
The j2re-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin file is the java installer and is
for a different version (1.4.1-01 not 1.3.1_02). The file you have is the
blackdown java installer, and does nothing until you run the installer.
Before trying to do so, you should really figure out where your existing
version is installed.

Hrmm, this should work.
Can you post the Makefile, and the errors you are seeing?
If you are using the hpt302-opensource-v10.tgz file, I've built modules
for the 2.4.18-27.8.0 kernel. I can make them available on my webserver.

You have to manually edit /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt and remove the files
listed that do not exist on your machine. A script you may find useful
for this purpose was posted here a few months ago.
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-list/2003-January/166584.html
You'll then have to convince tripwire to accept the changes. This will
generate a new tw.pol file (encrypted) and accept the changes into the
database. Here is the command and output (pulled from one of my old
posts) This sets the security policy to low, and will report changes, but
still update the policy. The default is high security.
# tripwire -m p -Z low /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt

It appears the man page needs updating. Neither --nopgp nor --nogpg appear
to work as indicated in the "QUERYING AND VERIFYING PACKAGES:" section.
However, later in the man page, under "verify-options" neither is listed.
Instead, it suggests --nosignature.
rpm -Kv --nosignature package.rpm does work.

Install the updated kernel and kernel-source, but don't reboot. You'll
still be running the old kernel at this point. You can then build the
module for the new kernel. Just define KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4,
rather than the method I provided earlier.

Hrmm, you need to LOAD the driver into the current kernel, before
rebooting?
You'll need to build it twice, if that's the case. Build it once before
upgrading the kernel-source package. Define
KERNELDIR=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build and build the modules. This will
build the modules for the current kernel. Copy the modules to
/lib/modules/{version}/someplace_reasonable. You should be able to get
them loaded.
Then, install the updates, run 'make clean' redefine KERNELDIR to
KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 in the Makefile (which should force them to
build against the new kernel-source), and build them again. Copy the
modules to /lib/modules/{new-version}/someplace_reasonable.

I'm not sure what you're trying to show here. This looks correct to me.
Kernel headers should only be included via "/lib/modules/`uname
- -r`/build".
Which is a symlink to the kernel source matching the running kernel. (Or a
broken symlink if it isn't installed.)
On my machine:
$ ll /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 36 Mar 18 21:10
/lib/modules/2.4.18-27.8.0/build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-2.4.18-27.8.0
$ ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
abi asm asm-generic asm-i386 linux net pcmcia rxrpc scsi video
One notable exception is my situation here. I have an ethernet module I
have to build myself. If I install a new kernel and kernel-source, I have
to either:
1. reboot without my network driver, and then build the module.
2. Commit a sin, and include /usr/src/linux-2.4/include, rather than the
proper /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include so that I can build for the
new kernel while still running the old kernel.

True enough. However, if they have already built a custom kernel, they
also had to run make config (in some form) and make dep, no? ;) No need
to run it again just to build the module.
If you are running a stock kernel, there should be no need to run make
oldconfig and make dep. As a matter of fact, if you do, this may cause a
kernel/module version mismatch. Red Hat's included Makefile defines
EXTRAVERSION = -27.8.0custom (for example). I'm guessing that once you run
make oldconfig and make dep, any modules built against that source will
have the 'custom' appended to the module versioning, and refuse to load
into a stock kernel.

I used to think so as well. And I'm sure I had to do both in the past at
some point. However on the Pheobe list, this was disputed by
Arjan van de Ven.

I'm sorry to say it but you're full of shit here ;)
All you just achieved is that you've blown away the proper kernel symbol
version setup you need to compile against the kernel.
1) The *ONLY* place the kernel headers of the current kernel live is
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
not /usr/include/linux, not /usr/include/linux-2.4 not anything else
this is per Linus' decree fwiw
2) You do NOT need all these steps; the headers RHL ships by default
Just Work(tm) and will generate a module for the currently running
kernel.
End quote.
Just an additional data point. ;)

He only asked how to compile an existing driver, not how to write the
driver code himself. Building the module from the vendors source code is
normally pretty simple. ;)

If the driver source code is availble, it shouldn't be very hard.
It appears the source is available for the Rocket133 at:
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/hpt302-opensource-v10.tgz
You'll have to verify that this is the correct file. The drivers I found
are listed here:
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/drivers.htm
Once you have the correct file downloaded...
make a temporary directory, I used 'highpoint'.
$ mkdir highpoint
Move the driver archive to the new directory.
$ mv hpt302-opensource-v10.tgz highpoint
cd to the directory
$ cd highpoint
Extract the archive
$ tar -xvzf hpt302-opensource-v10.tgz
Edit the Makefile, and fix the define for KERNELDIR. Currently, it is
probably defined as KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux (Which is wrong)
It should be defined as:
KERNELDIR=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
(KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 would work as well, but the above is more
correct)
You need to have the kernel-source rpm package installed that matches your
running kernel. For example, I have:
$ rpm -q kernel kernel-source
kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0
kernel-source-2.4.18-27.8.0
Once you have done all that, you can build the driver with
$ make
Once it has finished compiling, the .o file(s) need to be copied someplace
suitable in /lib/modules/{version}/kernel/drivers/(ide perhaps?)
There are instructions in the readme.txt file for loading the drivers.
Hope that helps,

Did you run something like mii-tool at that time? It's the result of some

(most?) Modules that require the headers for the running kernel point to
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build. I don't have Nvidia's drivers installed but
I've seen others that do something like:
LINUX=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
CFLAGS=-DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DDBG=0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6
- -I$(LINUX)/include
> (not having the kernel source directory for the current running

But building kernel modules will fail, as modules require the headers from
the kernel tree, not the headers installed in /usr/include/linux/, (which
are the headers glibc was compiled with, and are provided by the
glibc-kernheaders package). Any kernel module that tries to include
system headers should generate warning messages similar to:
#warning Using kernel header in userland!
#warning Using kernel headers in userspace.
In the case above, if /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build is a broken link, the
build will fail with the above warnings followed by many parse errors.
So, the short version is reinstall the kernel-source package if you want
to build kernel modules.

I don't know how well it works with the Red Hat wine package, but the
latest update breaks codeweavers wine on an 8.0 system. Hence crossover
office (and probably crossover plugins) won't function after updating.
http://crossover.codeweavers.com/pipermail/announce/2003-March/11.html
I agree, this isn't a Red Hat problem, and I wouldn't expect them to test
for this in any way.

Boot disk with quite a few linux tools available at boot time:
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/slinky-boot.img
Boot disk that boots, and runs "detect" a hardware detection utility:
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/slinky/slinky-detect/slinky-detect-0.0.2.img
It's automated, the machine is given a unique numeric ID, and the hardware
info is written to the boot floppy in a file with that ID. There is room
on the floppy for the info from quite a few machines.
Hope you find them useful,

This is related to the switch to UTF-8 locales and is covered in the
release notes:
$ grep -A 20 Distribution
/usr/share/doc/redhat-release-8.0/RELEASE-NOTES-i386
Distribution General Notes
o Red Hat Linux now installs using UTF-8 (Unicode) locales by default in
languages other than Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
This has been known to cause various issues:
. Line drawing characters in applications such as make menuconfig do
not always appear correctly in certain locales.
. On the console, the latarcyrheb-sun16 font is used for best Unicode
coverage. Due to the use of this font, bold colors are not available.
. Certain third party applications, such as the Adobe(R) Acrobat
Reader(R), may not function correctly (or crash upon startup) because
they lack support for Unicode locales. Until third party developers
provide such support in their products, you may work around this issue
by setting the LANG environment variable at the shell prompt to C
prior to typing the application name. For example:
env LANG=C acroread

Well, they are being read. If you can't 'cat' a text file, it's a good bet
the program that needs to read them will fail as well.

I don't believe those lines load a single module. As I suggested

I'd be willing to bet there is no change in modules loaded.

It sounds as if you installed the kernel{version}.src.rpm. You want the

It would appear that my previous answer didn't make it to the list. I

Peter Molnar asked:

I experienced a strange thing today. I've paid little attention for
checking the GPG signatures of rpms downloaded from Freshrpms.net so
far. But today I decided to learn, how to do it.
I issued the following commands:

rpm -K xosd-2.1.3-fr1.i386.rpm (an rpm recently downloaded)

GPG#e42d547b)
Key IDs are the same, however either GPG does not seem to recognize this
fact, or (more likely) I'm doing something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated. :)

You must import the key using rpm's --import flag.

I haven't used the 'install' directive in modules.conf, but the man page
indicates that it takes 3 arguments. 'install cryptoapi command to
execute rather than the default insmod'
I have no experience with encrypted filesystems. A quick google search for
"cryptoapi+modules.conf" showed some promise. See if that helps at all.

You need to configure the rndc keys.

Without a key pair, rndc will refuse connects.

I took a bit of a shortcut, and rather surprisingly, it appears to work.
I have Sun's j2re prm package installed. I downloaded and extracted the
blackdown java compiled with gcc 3.2 and copied just the plugin to
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/javaplugin_oji.so
I removed the existing libjavaplugin_oji.so link in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and created a new one pointing to the new
plugin (javaplugin_oji.so). Seems to work fine.

You have to install the key using rpm's import flag:
rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt
rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* will list all installed keys.
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-e42d547b to querry the key.

- From the command line, try this:
$ /sbin/chkconfig --list portmap
You should see output like:
portmap 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on4:on5:on6:off
If not, you can set it up with:
$ /sbin/chkconfig --add portmap
Activate it:
$ /sbin/chkconfig portmap on
Portmap should start next time you boot. To start it now:
/sbin/service portmap start

Going to need more info. What have you tried, what's the result of those

insmod (or modprobe) your_module, not install your_module, as you have

Actually, a google search suggest the following entries might work for a
zip drive using the imm module:
alias scsi_hostadapter imm
alias block-major-8 sd_mod

The pre remove and post install lines are correct. The do nothing more
than load and save mixer settings for your sound card. Recreating the
file is probably what allowed it to work.

Load what modules?
The parport module is loaded by: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
The ntfs module should be loaded on demand when you try to mount an ntfs
filesystem (with mount /foo /bar -t ntfs ..., or an entry in /etc/fstab),
and I've no idea what /proc/scsi/imm is supposed to do.
If you are trying to load an scsi_hostadapter something like:
'alias scsi_hostadapter imm'
would be the syntax, but I've no idea if that is correct for your system.
I take it this is for a zip drive? You might try a google search for imm
and modules.conf to get the correct entries.
I'd love to give an example, but since those 3 lines do _nothing_ (as near
as I can tell) I'd be hard pressed to find a replacement. ;)
Prove it to yourself, remove those 3 lines, reboot and see if it makes a
difference. alias takes 2 arguments, in the lines above you've assigned
the names given to NULL.

Again, no. You recreated modules.conf, most likely replacing a corrupt
version. You said yourself that you can't cat the backup file.
> I still do not understand what happened here which
> caused it to screw up.
My best guess at this point is that /etc/modules.conf got corrupted. You
moved it out of the way, and replaced it with a good copy.

Had you rebooted since adding the ntfs line to /etc/modules.conf?

Several possibilities that may do more or less what you want.
emacs - has a diff mode.
xxdiff - (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xxdiff/) may be useful.
I've built an rpm package: (changed the qt dependency so it would install
without having to resort to --nodeps)
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/xxdiff-2.9.1-1.i386.rpm
tkdiff - http://www.accurev.com/ftp/free/tkdiff/tkdiff_3_09.zip
Accurev also has a commercial product that looks interesting.

I knew it looked too easy. ;)
However, can't you use sort's uniq flag (-u) with -n for a numeric sort?
$ sort -k 2 -nu test.txt
10 387

Hrmm, and those were probably loaded from the initrd.
Can you post as much detail as possible, including the error text, the
contents of /etc/modules.conf, and the output from ifconfig? Without
seeing the error message, it's going to be hard to even begin guessing
what's wrong.

I just tried the way I normally build kernels and it seems to work:
(This will enable the same options used in Red Hat's kernel-uml package,
unless you make changes during the menuconfig stage.)
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
make mrproper

make menuconfig
make dep && make bzImage && make modules
And if you actually want to install the new kernel and modules:

I'm not at all sure I understand what you are trying to do.
If you want to take the first set of data above, and end up with the
second set, you can try a few different ways. Here is the input file:
$ cat test.txt
1 eagle 197
1 bird 387
2 camera 91
2 dog 62
3 apple 89
Using uniq:
If the numbers in the first field are small enough, tell uniq to only test
the first (n) characters, like so (obviously, this will begin failing
when we reach 100 in the first field):
$ uniq -w 2 test.txt
1 eagle 197
2 camera 91
3 apple 89
You could also use 'sort':
$ sort -nu test.txt
1 eagle 197
2 camera 91
3 apple 89
If the numbers in the first field are larger, sort should still work:
$ cat test.txt
1 eagle 197
1 bird 387
2 camera 91
2 dog 62
3 apple 89
10 cat 21
10 horse 22
99 orange 42
99 pear 44
100 grape 84
100 lime 88
101 lemon 23
102 fox 24
103 bear 25
$ sort -nu test.txt
1 eagle 197
2 camera 91
3 apple 89
10 cat 21
99 orange 42
100 grape 84
101 lemon 23
102 fox 24
103 bear 25
While uniq will fail:
$ uniq -w 2 test.txt
1 eagle 197
2 camera 91
3 apple 89
10 cat 21
99 orange 42
100 grape 84
Hope that helps and is what you were looking for,

The rpm you are trying to install was probably built on a system using
NVidia's closed source drivers, and picked up the dependency
automatically. I seem to recall having the same problem when I had an
NVidia card and was using their drivers.
I just built the package, you're welcome to give it a try. It should
install without any dependency problems.
(I used source from:

Or this one:

OK, it's my project, I'm a little biased. ;)
Seriously though, the webFonts.sh script pointed to from the link above
only adds the fonts to the font servers path. It does nothing about
setting the fonts up using fontconfig/XFT

As was already pointed out, 'LANG="C" acroread' should work.
You could also try the packages available here:
http://gurulabs.com/downloads.html
They seem to work well, including the acroread browser plugin.

I just noticed this. You said you had installed pcmcia-cs-3.2.4, but the
message above seems to indicate otherwise:
Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
Did the stock kernel-pcmcia-cs packages not work for you?
How did you determine
PCIC="yenta_socket"
Most of the info I've seen for Toshiba laptops seems to indicate
PCIC=i82365 is correct.
I didn't find any info for your specific model, but others use i82365:
2520CDS
http://www.apsoftware.it/~cris/pcmcia.html
Most of the info available here:
http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/
Seems to indicate the same thing.
Hope that helps,

You might have a look at 'info grub' or 'man lilo.conf'
Swapping disks is handled differently by each.
In lilo, something lile:
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x81
In grub:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
I haven't actually done it either way, so please read the docs and decide
for yourself. ;)

I'm using the pcmcia-cs tools and modules included in Red Hat 8.0 on an
older Toshiba Satellite Pro 420 CDS with a Xircom NIC, and it works fine.
Keep in mind I know little about PCMCIA, but here is my config file:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=do_scan=0
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=-f
$ rpm -q kernel-pcmcia-cs
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9
$ cat /proc/bus/pccard/00/info
type: Intel i82365sl B step
psock:0
I'm not sure if the /proc entry exists before the pcmcia service is
started, so that may or may not be useful.

This may be due to the aRts sound server having /dev/dsp locked.
(KDE expects apps to use the sound server, but many non KDE apps don't do
so.)
There is a configuration option for telling KDE how long to wait before
suspending the sound server. In Control Center -> sound -> sound server
look for "auto suspend if idle" and try lowering the value.
Or, you might try forcing Real Player to use KDE's aRts sound server.
- From a console window, '/usr/bin/artsdsp realplay', I believe should do
it. If I recall correctly, this worked in the past for me.
artsdsp is a shell script that attempts to hijack calls to /dev/dsp and
reroute them through aRts.

It would really help if you pasted the output of the commands into your
reply. Seeing the output of 'ls -l /usr/src/' would be helpful.
I've no idea what happened. Something related to the commands you
mistakenly ran earlier, I'd guess.
Perhaps it's easier to reinstall the package at this point.
Try this: (assuming you still have the kernel-source package.)
rpm -e kernel-source
rpm -ivh /var/spool/up2date/kernel-source*.rpm

Glad it worked. I wrote that script quite a while ago. This topic got me
moving, and I've finally cleaned it up some. ;) In addition to what
should result in a cleaner and faster search, the script now writes a
file containing the names of any packages not found. (Also removed a lot
of rubbish from the screen while it's running.)

try this:
ls /usr/src/linux-2.4
which should be a symlink to the actual files in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-26.8.0
(depending on the kernel version of course.) I have
$ rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.18-26.8.0
For your purposes, setting the directory to /usr/src/linux-2.4 should do
the trick.

Good enough for me, just wanted to make sure you actually needed to
recompile.

If you used RHN to download the package, unless you've changed things, I
believe it also installs the packages, no? I've configured mine for
download only, but I seem to recall that download, install, and remove
the .rpm file is the default.
up2date downloads packages to /var/spool/up2date/
You can check to see if it is installed with
rpm -q kernel-source
If it isn't installed and the rpm file is in
/var/spool/up2date/kernel-source...
You can install it with
rpm -Uvh /var/spool/up2date/kernel-source*.rpm
For now, forget the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build symlink, it's not
important. Just verify that it still exists and points at
/usr/src/linux-2.4(some-version). To do so, let's see the output of
ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
Make sure you read the docs for the pcmcia package. By default, it will
decline to build new modules, as you already have the modules installed.
You'll need to do a bit of work to make it build the modules and the
userspace tools.

Perhaps up2date sees the existing (corrupt) kernel package in
/var/spool/up2date/kernel-something.rpm, and doesn't download the package
again. Try removing the offending package, and let up2date fetch another
copy.

Is there something wrong with the wavelan and pcmcia drivers that are
already installed as part of the kernel package?
$ locate wavelan
/lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/kernel/drivers/net/wavelan.o
See also:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/pcmcia/

Kernel-source, not kernel. Please make sure you have the right file.
If you have the kernel-source package that matches your running kernel,
install it using rom.
rpm -Uvh kernel-source*.rpm
should do it.

Probably the result of the earlier commands you ran. Have you installed
the kernel-source package yet?

It means you have some reading to do I'm afraid. ;)
The symlink was created for you, there is no reason to chmod anything.

is the output of a command, not something you should input.
You should have installed the kernel-source rpm package with
'rpm -Uvh kernel-source*.rpm'
Which would install the kernel-source package in
/usr/src/linux-2.4(version). The symlink /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
would have then pointed at your newly created /usr/src/linux-2.4(version)
directory.
What is the output of
ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
and
ls /usr/src
