Re: How to run LILO on a floppy?
If you're looking for LILO on the floppy, use mkbootdisk (man mkbootdisk for more info). If you just want your system to boot from a floppy then do something like the following: # dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k The latter option will write the kernel image out to /dev/fd0. The kernel image is really a bootable image (readable by the BIOS on x86 systems for example). This option is far quicker than the former, but it lacks the ability to allow for system rescue in case your init is missing or something to that extent. Best choice is to keep one of each around, but use the faster method unless you run into problems.

You should now have a floppy that boots your linux install from The disk at /.

Re: rationale for mount --bind
Well, if I understand correctly, say you mount something to some directory but later find that you want it elsewhere (ie. you mount a cd to /mnt/floppy out of haste, but later correct yourself by --bind'ing it to /mnt/cdrom). It's merely a convenience thing cause stuff might be running on the mounted partition preventing you from unmounting it to remount it elsewhere. That's MY understanding.. but who knows?

Re: difference between run levels 1 and S
I think we figured all of this out already. Runlevel 1 is a defined runlevel (/etc/inittab) who's behavior is based on the related rc.d scripts (Runlevel 1 could therefore spam the screen with ascii art and do nothing more). Runlevel S, obviously, is what one would use if you were just going to get things going (good if you're building a system from scratch... or doing a major rebuild of a b0rked setup). Runlevel 1 would seem to be accessible via init/telinit (since traditionally, runlevel 1 means that none of the network stuff is going among other things), whereas Runlevel S would logically be best (if not only) accessible by rebooting.

Hmmm. Not sure that is true but the init man page does seem to have some conflicting info. From the init man page: BOOTING After init is invoked as the last step of the kernel boot sequence, it looks for the file /etc/inittab to see if there is an entry of the type initdefault (see init tab(5)). The initdefault entry determines the initial run level of the system. If there is no such entry (or no /etc/inittab at all), a runlevel must be entered at the system console. Runlevel S or s bring the system to single user mode and do not require an /etc/initttab file. In single user mode, a root shell is opened on /dev/console. then later: BOOTFLAGS It is possible to pass a number of flags to init from the boot monitor (eg. LILO). Init accepts the following flags: -s, S, single Single user mode boot. In this mode /etc/inittab is examined and the bootup rc scripts are usually run before the single user mode shell is started. 1-5 Runlevel to boot into. Is the issue whether s is entered at boot or via telinit? Not sure but like Mr Wagner, I have always assumed 1 and s were the same but clearly they are not.

Re: 2GB Limit?
RH7.0 doesn't, as far as I know, support it. However, if you managed to get the latest e2fsprogs and kernel, etc, you might have some more luck. As far as the file size limit.. I think there's some kernel patch that works around it. the 2GB deal is the limitation (ultimately) of the processor (32bit). If not for the lil -1 that has to be used, you'd be able to have about 4GB no prob. Any work around patch, etc, will be all emulation, though. It's pretty well implemented in many places though, even for emulation. I'm not sure about Ext3. Basically, any 64bit filesystem will rid you of the 2GB limit, but yer sorta stuck with Second and Third Extended for now. Others can prolly tell you more than I can though.

Re: Why ftp time out??
I am using normal dial up connection. And using ftp command to download files. Sometime the following 2 things happen while downloading files: 1. It gives Connection time out. And the file was partialy downloaded. 2. If net connection is break while downloading, the process is hang for ever. It does not come out or it does not detect the net connection break. Does this happen: 1) On just one host in particular? 2) On a defined set of hosts (like always the same ones)? 3) Randomly? Q1. Why is connection time out is happen while downloading ?? Tons of things affect network traffic. There really isn't a clear answer. Q2. What is exact technical reason for time out?? Usually no packet transfer for X amount of time. (X is defined by the server). Lost routes, down routers, severe latency (lag), etc. Q3. Why it does not come out after net connection break ?? The server probably has broken the connection upon time-out on its end, but if you've never received the packets telling you of this (because you aren't receiving any other packets), then the client will just sit there waiting since it can't assume what the server is doing. Some clients do have time-outs of their own, but in the interest of not tripping over the server's feet, they usually let the server do all the talking.

Re: Adding a harddrive
1.. This is fdisk version 2.11f. Listing the known partition type does not show me ext3 nor ext2, so I chose type '83 Linux' and then primary no1. Is that correct? partition types and filesystems are different things. fdisk only understands partitions. 2.. How do I edit the fstab file? I read the man page for fstab, tried various ideas I got from reading it and clone some lines from it, but then the machine won't boot properly. 1) make sure the mount point directory exists on the host fs. 2) just copy an entry from /etc/fstab (other than / or swap, since the settings are different) and make appropriate changes. 3.. What about the mounting point. Do I have to create it first with 'mkdir /xxx' ? Yes. It must be on the host fs (ie. if you're making a /usr/local partition, make sure /usr/local is first created on the fs where /usr's contents are located). Order of fs mounting is a biggie too. If you have a complex tree of filesystems, make sure you mount the filesystems that host the mount points for other filesystems first (ie. if you have /, /usr, and /usr/local partitions, mount them in that order). Since you have 3 harddisks, you prolly have some number of partitions :) Looking forward to read your replies. Thanks in advance.

Re: Question about Uptime
In the load average, it means thah I am using just the 0.01 % of my processor in a 5 minutes load average and that the max load I can have is 100.00, or it means that i am using the 1 % of mu processor and the max load is 1.00 Load is defined as the number of processes in the run queue. So load averages (3, 5, and 10 minutes I think they are), means that over those periods of time, there were an average of how many processes in the run queue. You can have a load average of 5 or 50 or 500 if your system can handle it. CPU can affect these numbers. Slower CPUs or even more intense processes can cause higher load since processes will sit on the run queue a little longer. Basically, if you have 1 process sitting in the run queue (the things marked with an 'R' under the ps -aux output, for instance) for 5 minutes straight, then your 5 minute average should be 1.00 (given nothing else was runnable during that time). Also, don't forget that only one process can run per CPU at any instance :) Hope this helps. -Statux ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Adjusting playback level.
Try increasing the mixer volume. Use xmixer or aumix (console). On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, David wrote: 1) What are you trying to accomplish? It's as if you forgot to make note of why you're doing any of this to begin with. Well, I wasn't doing any important thing in particular. I was just trying to play some mp3s and having found that the volume is a bit soft, I just wanted to adjust it. 2) -g is gain. Typically you don't touch this. If you play electric guitar or do sound mixing of some sort, you'll know what this is. I do know what gain is. It is simply put: a ratio of output to input. This -g option I presume will adjust the output gain of my sound card. So it seems to be the right option for me. Unfortunately, it did not work. Maybe the driver does not support this option. 3) -f is scale factor. Not sure of the logic behind this. The -f option is sort of like the software version of volume control as it controls the scaling of the wave data before it is passed to the sound card. But the default level (according to the man page) is 32768 which is the max (half of 2^16). If I adjust this, which is possible, I get a louder sound but the louder portions of the music becomes clipped.

Re: ext3 or ext2 ?
Are there good reasons for not using ext3? For now this machine won't be my main machine. With proper backup of important files it could fail without being a major pain ... Despite the fact that people say that ext3 is good enough for production use, you can't ignore the dozens and dozens of complaints people make about it constantly. In all honesty, ext3 is still under development as are most journalling filesystems. I wouldn't use it, say, for the root partition, but I might for a lesser important one... just until you get the hang of it and until ext3 is well enough developed to the point where the complaints stop :) ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Unremovable file
c---r- 1 8224 8224 32, 32 Jan 30 1987 CVS see if a stat CVS works, or even just an ls -li CVS which will tell you what inode it is. From this point, knowing the inode, I would fire up debugfs (after reading the manual for it first, of course). # debugfs -w /dev/hda1 or whatever the partition in question is. The -w option tells it to allow writing operations on the partition. Typically you'll want to have the partition unmounted if possible, but always run an fsck on the partition after (this means reboot if necessary). I guess you could just touch /forcefsck before rebooting if this is the / partition. Inside debugfs, you'll issue something like the mi X command where X is the inode of the offensive file. Zero the link count and give the dtime a non-zero value (something higher than the mtime, atime, and ctime, I'd say). Then quit and go about getting the partition rechecked. I used to use debugfs all the time. I would typically use it to relink deleted files to the partition again. Works for most recently deleted files up to a certain size :) # lsattr lsattr: No such device While reading flags on ./CVS No biggie. I get that too on my /dev/sndstat device which for some reason isn't being used anymore (must have been written out of the recent kernels). NOTE: This is how debugfs used to work to the best of my memory.
