RE: rpm seg faulting

RE: How to start KDE

my hard drive is failing (running Red Hat 7.0) and last night i discovered it making the insidious 'clicking sound' only when trying to log to /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure. when i took a look at messages i discovered it had grown to over 11 gigs (don't ask me how) and i couldn't read then end of the file (obviously). someone had hit me 5 times per second for nearly 12 hours! i'm assuming this might have to do with the ramen worm. anyway...i simply removed both messages and secure and 'touched' new files in their places. could this physical error be due to the oversized file (and the attempts to write to it)? -- Jack Wallen, Jr ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Urgent LILO failure: former - to recover damaged partition
if you can use a windows boot disk you can get to an prompt and type fdisk mbr which will return your master boot record to the original 'windows' version. if you do this you'll have to use a boot floppy to boot linux (of course i'm sure you can get lilo back onto the mbr). see what you said. :I'm a novice, but I think if you use your redhat disk and run the install :program until it comes to making partitions, it will recognize your win98 :partition if you use fdisk.

nope, once you run the rpm you have to go to /boot and take the new entry,

upgrading to 6.2 a different approach
i'm sure others have done this already but i wanted to report that i upgraded my home machine to 6.2 one piece at a time. it only took me an hour or so but i dl'd, letter of the alphabet at a time, each package and rpm -Uvh'd them until i was finished. the upgrade was flawless and now i have 6.2 Zoot running just fine. in fact there are things i noticed that didn't break like they did when i upgraded to 6.1.

i am wanting to compile a list of hardware that is *known* to work under Red Hat 6.0 and up. what i would like to have anyone willing do is send me what kind of NIC and modem they've managed to get working under Red Hat 6 and up.

Re: How is RH6.1 as a workstation only?
i've tried Red Hat 6.1 (and earlier versions), Mandrake, Caldera, SuSE, Slackware, and Turbo Linux. Of these distros I have found Red Hat to be the best all around. Yes, it has issues but they are not insurmountable. Each distro has it's strengths and weaknesses but I'm convinced that Red Hat's set up (with linuxconf, the new rp3 tool, printtool, netcfg, and other tools) has the most to offer. yous said: Hello, Amoung the distributions, is RH6.1 a good choice if used only for a home/work PC as a workstation?

Re: Chinese ban windows
i'm currently doing an article on this very topic. it seems that the subject has been bantered back and forth among the interested parties and now the gov't of china is saying that it never said this. what it does seem is that they may 'encourage' the gov't to use domestic softwares...but who knows. that's the biggest problem and the biggest difference bewtween the Linux and Windows communities - the Linux community always knows what is going on and the MS Windows community does not. there is certainly something to be said about knowing the truth. yous said: According to the Yancheng Evening News, an official Chinese newspaper, Windows 2000 has been banned from government computers.

odd ethernet problem
With Red Hat 6.1 i'm having this very odd problem: my cable modem was working fine. then all of a sudden (with the same configuration) it is not. when i try to ping something i can see the activitiy lights working but i'm getting nothing returned to the machine. to test this further i put the cable modem to my laptop (also running 6.1) and with the exact same config it worked fine. i re-install 6.1 on my machine. still the same thing. it looks like it's working but Red Hat is not reporting anything and i can't get outside of the modem. am i overlooking something here? thank you so kindly Jack Wallen, Jr. Editor in Chief of Linux Content www.techrepublic.com -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

RE: Which Modem?
external modems are just more reliable (well, except that darn Viking modem). pluse they have an on/off switch that allows you to manually 'pull the plug' if there are problems - so you don't end up having to reboot your machine (coming from much experience there).

dual boot question
hey everyonei'm wondering: the Linux+Win95 mini howto says the following: "With a Linux/Win9x installation It is VERY IMPORTANT that your Linux partition start before (below) the 1024th cylinder, otherwise you will be unable to boot the machin. What exactly is the 1024th cylinder? That's where IDE ends and EIDE begins-- that's the 528M "mark" on your hard disk. Start your Linux partition at around 520M, so the entire kernel and other boot/loader files will completely reside below that cylander." has this changed with the newer releases of Red Hat or the newers kernels? the reason i ask is that i've done many successful Red Hat+Win9x dual boots where Linux resides well beyond the 528M "mark" (unless i'm misunderstanding this information). if i'm clueless on this 'mark' could someone set me straight? thanks to all.

an interesting bug in 6.1
has any come across red hat 6.1 totally rendering a external modem useless? last night my modem's (connected to ttyS0) speaker went dead and then would no longer connect. when i checked i found that i was getting an error that it could not activate /sysconfig/ifcfg-ppp i ended up re-installing but a fresh install did the same thing. then i loaded up 6.0 and the problem was solved. if anyone has come across this problem, and knows of a solution, i'd much appreciate it.

Looking for writers
Hello Red Hat fans, I work for TechRepublic and I'm looking for content authors. We pay .25 cents per word for in-depth articles on various topics and I'm here to recruit writers of Linux content. I'm looking for people to write about various topics such as: Red Hat Linux - or any distro SQL (in any of it's forms) Enterprise Linux Development Linux Networking System Admin with Linux and any other topic I can come up with along the way. These articles need to be in-depth and technical in nature. If anyone is interested in actually making some cash off their Linux knowledge e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll talk. Thank you all and sorry if this is off topic (but I've trolled around the Red Hat List for a long time and know that the knowledge here is very strong).

Re: icq
zicq is a console only client and it's really clean.
