Re: RAID

[tcurl]

I want to set up a RAID using udma drives.  I don't think soft RAID is a 
good solution from a performance standpoint.  I searched all the hardware 
RAID vendors to find one providing a udma hardware RAID controller that 
would work with Linux.  None, so far as I could find, do.  The two closest 
seemed to be Promise and Adaptec.  Promise says they will be able to do it 
in 6 months.  I have not yet gotten and answer from Adaptec.

I'm very interested in RAID and the Promise SuperTrak controllers.

Re: Is stronghold the only way to my own CA ???

[tcurl]

Issuing CA's is pretty easy.  If you were using Lotus' Domino, you'd find 
that it does this out of the box.  And the CA's issued are great for your 
own use in recognizing the people to whom you granted a CA.  You can 
almost look at them as really secure cookies.

On the other hand issuing CAs that other people will recognize is an 
entirely different story.  That's more akin to printing money, that is 
issuing a paper certificate that can be used in the conduct of trade. When 
you issue that kind of CA, someone asks to be trusted in a transaction, 
pointing to you as the agent certifying that they are who they claim to 
be.  Well, for that, you need to have stature, e.g., a government, or a 
government certified operator, like a major bank, etc.  It is certainly 
unlikely that a CA issued by an individual, or small, non-regulated 
enterprise would carry any weight at all.  Except with itself, of course.

The answer is easy, unfortunately.  Most rational people seek the easiest 
solution, it's easier to ask than it is to look it up.  That's why people 
call information rather than open the phone book which might be sitting 
right on the table.  The answer, charge for the service, or don't provide 
it.

The problem is that you really do want people to get the answers they 
need, and it's not easy for you to know if the reason for the question is 
the inability of the asker to find or perhaps understand the material 
available, or if it really is laziness.  Certainly one approach might be 
to simply state, "The answer to your question can be found in  .  .   ". 
If they still need help they'll ask again.  If they find the answer 
themselves they'll be so proud of their newfound ability that they will, 
hopefully, continue to employ it in the future.

No it does not. It only work once. xinetd starts linuxconf only once (this
is a service of type wait). This linuxconf instance will serve all request

I don't think it's a joke.  I ordered it last week and it arrived the next

was required, do I agree with the license, and what language, I found it 
to be at least 200% faster than any other distribution.  The most amazing 
thing was that I was able to run the MS version with the CPU removed from 
the motherboard.  There are a lot of other great features as well.  With 
the MS version of Linux running, the PCs power supply works backwards and 
actually puts power back into the wiring, so you can run your refrigerator 
off of your PC.  And all the open source people are always talking about 
"free beer", well MS offers an option on MSLinux to install a spigot as a 
peripheral device to actually get the free beer.  MS may make Linux a 
truly world class monopoly.  Wow!

Although Luke's solution also works, yours is simpler (after changing 
flist
from "abcde bc de" to ". abcde bc de ." -- see my reply to Luke for
details).

And this begs the question -- how does one know when single quotes, double
quotes or no quotes are appropriate?  Is there a "regexp for Dummies"
document out there (the man page is a bit thick)?

Note the included delimiters on either side of the variable, and the

Re: WINE (Re: Trouble)

Bret, I am running it on a "clean" RH 7.0 without a problem.  I loaded and
ran the version 1 eval on a RH 6.2 without problem, but later had a good
deal of difficulty with the 2.0 eval that even their tech support people
couldn't figure out.  After that I downloaded non-free package, it is
supposed to be the same code base as the eval, but with a different
license.  In any case, it loaded and is running fine.  In fact I am writing
this using a Notes client on Win '95 in Win4Lin 2.o running on top of RH 7
with the standard kernel (2.2.16-22).  Try calling, or e-mailing their tech
support, they may be able to assist.

I signed up for the eval for win4lin but having problems getting the
kernelt worked
out.  I am currently running a self-compiled 2.2.16 and there is no patch
for it
evidently.  I used the patch for 2.2.14 and I think the only problem was
the
Makefile version and I made that change myself  I made modules and
install-modules
but the kernel won't boot.  The machine just reboots when I try it.

I have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?

Why not try VMware?  I run a Linux desktop and use VMware for Linux to run
Windows in a virtual machine for all my must-have-windows-only software I
need to run.

Sure it costs more than Win4Lin but I feel it is well worth the extra.  You

get things like:
- 100% Windows compatibility, you even get a BIOS!!!
- Support for bi-directional parallel devices like printers
- Support for Sound
- Networking (which is lacking in Win4Lin IIRC)
- Undoable disks (discard changes you have made to the virtual computer)
- The ability to run other OSes rather than just Windows.  This is
excellent
for testing Linux upgrades etc
- You can run Windows that has been installed into a partition, not just
virtual ones...

Re: WINE (Re: Trouble)

[tcurl]

I tried WINE without success. I believe this to be more my fault than that 
of the software.  I found that getting it working was much more 
complicated and detailed than I believe reasonable for what I am trying to 
accomplish.  Those, with Windows experience, who have tried to move a 
running system from one Windows box to another can relate to the problems 
of finding and moving all the required DLLs.  This is basically the same 
problem a WINE user has.  Depending on the software you are trying to run, 
the experience can be a relatively easy, excruciating, or a completely 
frustrating waste of time.

My goal is to migrate business clients to Linux.  The server part is easy, 
substitute SAMBA for NT, and I've done a lot of that.  The desktop is more 
difficult as there are cases, accounting is certainly one, where no good 
replacement products, open or proprietary, that run on the Linux platform 
are yet viable.  For example if a customer is already using Peachtree 
Accounting, DeLorme's mapping software, or Lotus' Notes Client, what do 
you do?  WINE could be an answer, but is simply not, in my opinion, a 
practical one, in a commercial environment, given the difficulty of 
getting a particular piece of Windows software running, and even then not 
knowing if all of the functionalty is really going to work.  99.9% may not 
be good enough in a commecial environment.

These issues will pehaps get resolved, somehow, although I don't see an 
easy answer.  Using the installation included with most Windows products 
which takes care of the DLL placement is unlikely to ever work on a 
Linux/WINE platform.  The QA issue is the more important one, and it's 
really only the software author who can do that effectively.  When an 
author ports to WINE and certifies his product on the Linux/WINE platform, 
the problem will be somewhat resolved.  The problem here as I see it is 
that the author will only be able to certify his product on a particular 
distribution or set of distributions of Linux with only a particular 
version of WINE. 

In the meantime I still need to run pure Windows applications on Linux. 
So, I am testing Win4Lin.  Yes, the purists among you can argue this is 
still Windows and still requires Win' 95 or Win '98 licenses, but so what, 
the client already has these,  Step 1, get them to Linux, Step 2, replace 
the Windows only software with suitable substitutes, when they become 
available or the author ports them to Linux.

Why move the desktops to Linux at all you might ask.  Because Linux is 
better, for all the reasons we already know, people want it, and it helps 
ensure the freedom of choice, which Microsoft continues to try to 
eliminate.  PLEASE understand, I am not suggesting Microsoft's behavior is 
"bad".  On the contrary, the behavior is perfectly normall, kill off all 
the competition and maximize the probability of your survival and the 
survival of your progeny.  Microsoft is particularly good at this.  It's 
just that I don't want to live in a world populated by a single species, 
and in this regard WINE is already helping.Tom Curl

Hi there.

I installed samba on the linux box, used swat to configur it. Now I can 
see 
the linux box in the NT Network Neighborhood but when I try to explore it 
I 
get a message saying  is not accessible, The network path was not

If this is a password problem then the message is stupid. But can anyone

Re: Kind of OT: (Redhat) Linux vs NetWare?

[tcurl]

Dan,

I'll not spend a lot of time on this, but here are some thoughts.

1.  You want to avoid, as should your client/employer, a multiplicity of
OSs unless there is a compelling reason for the diversity, e.g., they are
used for testing multiplatform software.

2.  Having said that, you need to decide what should remain.  In most shops
you will find Windows to be the predominate desktop OS, so as a minimum you
will need to be very conversent with the Windows products in order to
provide end-user support.

3.  Given your need to be familiar with Windows desktops, you will have a
definate headstart on the admin of NT/Win2000.  So that's a good bet for
your servers.  But Linux running Samba provides better stability, and you
seem to be comfortable in that realm.  So, unless they are running NLM.
client/server stuff that required Novel, that's the one to dump.  If it's
just file/print servers, that's a no-brainer.

4.  I'd be inclined to migrate all of the NT/Win2000 stuff to Linux/Samba
that I could, except, again, for stuff that only runs on those platforms,
maybe a FAX server, Exchange, whatever.  Get a good book(s) on NT/Win200o
system admin and go for it.  (O'Reilly has some decent stuff.)

Good luck,

Tom

Re: Network cabling

[tcurl]

Hi Gustav,

Re; established standards, sure.  First the key is not the wire color,
while that's more a less a standard, there are certainly cables using
different trace colors than the ones I provided.  The real issue is
pinouts, and how they are interconnected.  Each end of connection has a
transmitter and a reciever.  One uses pins 1 & 2, the other uses pins 3 &
6.  Transmitters must connect to recievers and visa versa.  So, if you were
to connect two NIC to each other pins 1 & 2 on NIC A would have to connect
to pins 3 & 6 of NIC B, and pins 3 & 6 of NIC A would connect to pins 1 & 2
of NIC B.

There are cables connected exactly like this.

  NIC A
NIC B

 1 -- 3
Xmitter {
}Rcvr.
 2 -- 6


 3 -  1
Rcvr.{
} Xmitter.
 6 -- 2


However:

Rather than use crossover cables as shown above, the convention is for NICs
to be wired as shown and Hub to be reversed: ala'

  NIC
HUB

 1 -- 1
Xmitter {
}Rcvr.
 2 -- 2


 3 -  3
Rcvr.{
} Xmitter.
 6 -- 6

The connections between a Transmitter must be "balanced".  Balence is
provided by twisting the two wires so that each wire in the pair picks up
"approximately" the same amout of ambient electrical noise from the
environment.  That way the noise arriving at a the reciever, know as the
Common Mode Signal can be rejected, and only the "real" signal is received.

So you need two pairs of wires.  A second benefit of twisting the wires is
that the impedence of the pair is controlled, about 100 ohms in CAT5.  By
matching the output impedence of the transmitter to the cable and the input
impedance of the cable to the receiver, the deliverery of signal power from
transmitter to receiver is maximized.

The signal is without polarity, so while it might seem that pin 1, of a
pair, should go to pin 2 on the opposite end and pin 2 to pin 1, this is
not neccessary and allows cables to be wires "straight through.  1 to 1, 2
to 2, 3 to 3 and so on.

You may find some networks wired with two pair cable, it's cheaper than 4
pair CAT5.  It works, but it does violate the media standard for Eithernet,
(802.3).

You may also find systems wired using the telecommunications (telephone)
industry color codes, (EIA/TIA-568).


Pair 1TipWhite/blue
Ring Blue

Pair 2TipWhite/orange
Ring Orange

Pair 3TipWhite/green
Ring Green

Pair 4TipWhite/Brown
Ring Brown

This will also work fine, just ensure that you have pairs between pin sets
and are using appropriatly certified wire for thespeed at which you want
the circuit to operate.  Buy CAT5, and you will be doing that.  In other
words don't accept UTP-3, UTP-4, UTP-5, or STP-5.

Of course, while installing the cables, you will want to ensure you do not
exceed the "recommend" pull force of 110 Newtons, per standard SP 2840A.
Please recognize 110 Newtons (about 25 foot pounds) is only a
recommendation as it has not yet be accepted as a "standard".   :<))

Hope this helps,

Tom

Tom,

I have been doing my own cables for a while. My primary reason is that I
get them in the lengths that I prefer. I don't need to use a twenty feet
cable where a twelve feet cable would do.

I have always been following the instructions in a users guide I
received when I bought a hub from Linksys. That's so far been my only
reference.

I noticed that in the guide I have, they have inverted the use of pins 4
and 5 compared to your explication. This shouldn't be of any importance
as long as I'm consistent.

But can you confirm that your explanation adheres to established
standards and that there is a bug in the Linksys guide?

Re: Network cabling

What are we talking about, installing a networkk, or making cables?  Making
cables is a waste of time, you can buy 10' cables with RJ45s on each end
for less than three bucks.  If you are talking about stringing CAT5 thru
walls and ceilings, a book won't help a lot.  What you need is a roll of
cable, a 24" long 3/8" drill bit, and a step ladder.  Or you can call an
electrician and tell her/him where you want the wires to terminate.

The electrician can also put the connectors on.  But if you want to do that
yourself put OG/WT on pin 1, OG on pin 2, GN/WT on pin 3, BU/WT on pin 4,
BU on pin 5, GN on pin 6, BN/WT on pin 7, BN on pin 8.  You can buy a tool
for installing the RJ45 connectors for about $22.00.  The wall plates have
punch down strips in them, tool about $3.00

Have fun!

There are probably real books, but I learned the little that I know from
talking with an eletronics distributor and getting some catalogs from him
that have LOTS of info in them about various wireing configs.  I don't have
them at hand right now but seems like the Black Box catalog also has some
stuff in it.  The ethernet howto has wiring diagrams for common ehternet
scenarios, including a crossover ethernet cable.

I'm guessing your next question might be "how?".  I don't know.  I
downloaded an X Windows server to an NT workstation and I can get it to
connect, but so far no luck in running a Linux X session.  It might be
easier from a Linux box, I don't know haven't had time to try.  If I were
you though I'd try to get it running on a LAN connected machine before
trying a remote connnection, that way you can see what's going on at each
end.

Good Luck!

Re: minimal install

Linda,

Another option is a "real" terminal.  As these get replaced with Windows
PC's running terminal emulators, they become more and more available, often
for no cost.  Check with municipalities in particular, I've seen a lot of
good ones just thrown in the dumpster.  You'll need a serial connection of
course but that's no big deal.

4M is about as low as you will want to go if you are installing RedHat.
You can get a working system with only 2M, but I don't think the RedHat
install will work with that little memory.  I did have a working system
with only 1M, but that was with a 1.0.X kernel, if I remember right.
(Back when I was running Slackware, and installing from floppies!)

You probably know this alreadys, but make sure you don't run any
services on this box.  For a terminal, you don't even need cron or
syslog.  You probably don't even need inetd running.

I've used a device similar to this, but its just controlled by a phone
connection - you plug a phone line into the box, then you can call it,
enter a secret code, and it cuts off power from the PC for a few minutes.

Re: Hardware Watchdogs / Alternatives

[tcurl]

Looks good, I have used similar for monitoring remote, network connected
systems but, and I quote;

"The first thing you'll need is two computers.  You need not have identical
hardware in both machines (or amount of memory, etc.), but if you did, it
would make your life that much easier when a component fails."

For bigger installations heartbeat would be fine, but for the single system
user who need an alert if/when the system becomes non-functional it;s a bit
overkill.  I think the request was for a board to be put in the box which
could send a signal if the box died.  Obviously this couldn't work if the
board depends on the system power to do it's job, and that happens to be
the failure mode.  So a "board" mounted outside the box, with independent
power is what's called for.  I suppose to be really safe the system could
also watch the "board" to make sure it has not failed.  But that's why I
suggested the picked relay, a failure would cause a dropout.  But you can,
of course. go on and on with, this, maybe two bells with independent power,
etc, etc.  Maybe even the heartbeat package and two complete systems.

There was a guy once who said the only reason he would fly on airplanes
with four engines was because no one had one with five.

Re: Hardware Watchdogs / Alternatives

Most software doesn't run very well if the sytem board hangs, or the power
supply dies.  To be effective a watchdog need to be outside of the box
being monitored, and looking for a periodic signal that the box is still
working.  A typical, far from perfect, but nevertheless easy method is to
have a box with a bell, light, or whatever that is turned on by a relay
dropping out.  The relay is held picked by a re-settable one shot, e.g.,
555.  If the one shot is not reset within a pre-set interval, say 1 second,
it drops the relay and the bell goes off.  What's the reset?  Well it might
be a program, running on the system that brings one pin on a parallel port
high for a millisecond once every 1/2 second.  As long as the program is
running the bell is quiet.

I don't know what a 'watchdog card' is.  There are software packages like

I don't know if it's still being made but we have a set of devices called,
I think, X10 or X11 that are designed for this.  There are client devices
that mediate between the computer and the wall socket and another device on
the controlling computer's serial port (and also plugged into the wall
socket).  You have to write serial port software to control the client
computers.  I've seen similar units sold for home automation.  IIRC, they
don't work across circuit boundaries and they require that the controlled
devices actually get plugged into the wall (as opposed to, say, a UPS).

All that said, the only times I've ever had to reset a Linux box was when I
was screwing around with the hardware.  (We bought these X10 units for
controlling a multi-computer DOS-based homegrown C process for processing
faxed test scores into psychological reports.)  So I don't know whether I
would bother.

A regular modem has hard set com ports and IRQ's, usually set by jumpers

it get's set temporaroly in a type of flash memory on the modem. This is
why winmodem's don't work in linux, or any other type of non-windows

Re: Stupid question about winmodems

[tcurl]

The real question you want to ask is the difference between "hardware"
modems and "software" modems.  Modems, were always "hardware", yes they
used firmware burnt into proms to control their functions but they were
what is commonly referred to has "hardware devices.

Then someone got the idea for cost reduction by eliminating the proms and
firmware, replacing them with a software module running in the system CPU
under control of the OS.  The OS was usually, at least that was what the
software was written for, some variant of Windows, hence Winmodem.

Re: Leaving the computer on

[tcurl]

Fans are required when convection/radiation cooling are inadequate.

Using lower voltage chips, the power dissapation drops, e.g., 5 volts at 5
amps dissipates 25 watts, whereas 2.5 volts at 5 amps is 12.5 watts.

Yes, by eliminating the fan, there is a cost savings, but there is also a
noise reduction and reliability improvement.

I believe the fan-not-included was more of a cost-factor rather then
an engineering break through. Lets see the fan displaces heat thus
keeping the thermo movement to a minimum. Also lets not forget that

Re: Leaving the computer on

It's easy.  When does a light bulb fail?  When you turn it on.  Why?  All
those cold, low resistance circuits draw a lot of current at turn on, there
are mechanical as well as electrical stresses on all those junctions, to
say nothing of the trauma to capacitors.

The monitor is the power hungry beast in the configuration, but if you have
a "green" monitor and take advantage of all the power saving features, you
don't need to turn it off, it will do that by itself.

I don't know what a PIX is... but if I understood Duncan correctly, his
internal LAN was using the an IP address space that he doesn't own (Duncan,
is this correct?  this the crux, yes?).  These machines were being serviced
by an IP Masq firewall that translated from their IP addresses to one
legitimate IP address.  His machine is a web server and (whatever port 22
services) and the firewall is configured to expose his machine.  I'm
curious about the details of this but I assume that he has a single
interface that is connected to his LAN.

Anyway, he asked how to use IP chains to block all outside traffic except
ports 22 and 80 and allow all internal traffic.

Duncan, if this is correct, I don't think you can distinguish internal and
external traffic on your machine.  This has to be done at the border
between your LAN and the outside world (I think this is what Gordon is
saying).

Or, you could just trust all traffic from the IP space of your internal LAN
and hope no one who really owns that space attacks.  Actually, doubts creep
in as I write this... how would your routing return packets correctly to
internal machines?  If the packets are being routed correctly to your LAN
peers then I guess you have little to worry about the legitimate users of
this IP space because they'll never see responses to the packets they send?

Ahbaid,

I'd use a product called Ghost.  Boot it from a diskette.  It will clone
any HDD to another so long as the second is larger than the first.  One
problem, I think, with your approach is that it does not consider the
partitioning of the second HDD.

Hi all,

I have a RH box with an ide drive on /dev/hda

I'd like to clone this drive...

Question:

Can I plug in another IDE drive as say /dev/hdb and run the following
command to do the trick?

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1
If not, what's the best way? Assume the person doing this is an end user

thanks,

Re: US West DSL service

[tcurl]

Bob,

The ISP provides the connection.  What you attach is your business.  If you
have a coke machine with an ethernet adapter that can talk IP to your
inventory dispatching system a generic DSL connection from US West will
support it.  US West, the support organization, however probably won't,
when you call for support.  When you tell the help desk person your coke
machine can't connect to your AS400 you probably will find the US West
support person pretty clueless and probably useless in helping to resolve
the problem.

So putting that in a Linux perspective, the US West DSL connection will
work with Linux, or any other operating system you choose to use provided
it uses TCP/IP.  But most, if not all consumer level ISP support desks,
don't even know that there are any OSs other than Windows '95/'98.  Some
may have heard of NT, but even then the answer is NT?, our system doesn't
work with NT.  Nonsense of course, but expect it.

Tom

Okay, I have learned that US West is now offering DSL service in my area
and my line qualifies for always on, fixed IP address service at 256 K
for US 29.95/month or 2 hour at a crack limit for US $19.95/month.  Does
anyone have any issues with US West regarding their acceptance of
Linux?  If so let me know before I jump in.

Thanks

Re: win modems

[tcurl]

Robert,

You should wait for the New "Bob" modem.  It only dials MSN, but hey if you
are not dialing MSN you've probably got a serious problem anyway.  So wait
for Bob.  :<))

Take nothing I say as serious, nobody else does.

Re: Commercial BACKUP software

[tcurl]

My take;

 Arkeia - nice looking interface but very complex to setup and use.  For an
enterprise level back-up with a full time backup operator it will be great.
They should have made an abbreviated setup for the smaller site.

ArcServe - should be in some other business.  Their products occasionally
don't work as advertized and their customer service is abominable.

BRU - don't have strong opinion either way, but it seems to be an adequate
system.

Look at Lone-Tar

http://199.72.66.91/ibapps/products.nsf/AK/9A090C5E9127CFE78525670E007C7DCF

Good luck,

Subject:  Commercial BACKUP software


I plan on getting a new 2U rackmount with one 9G and two 36GB SCSI's for a
SAMBA server.
I use tar currently for my mail server and it works fine.  However, for
this SAMBA server
I'd prefer a "commercial" solution. I need to *remotely* backup/restore
this server...no
monitor or keyboard will be hooked up to this server. Any advice or
recommends (as they
say in Japanese music stores) will be appreciated.

In addition planning to get a external DLT 40/80GB tape drive $4500 (ouch).
Tapes around
$80 a pop this ain't gonna be cheap.  I wish we could go with a DDS-4
20/40GB tape drive
but it probably won't be big enough.  Or is it cheaper to get a DLT tape
library of a few
DLT 35/70GB tape drives?

Commercial Backup Options(any others?)

--BRU 16.0beta  downloaded it and it was easy to get working.  However, the
promised web
based administration wasn't available yet but should be soon for testing.
Kinda like
SWAT:901 for samba. http://www.estinc.com $299 (I think that is the price)

--Arkeia 4.2 30-day demo.  Going to try this once again.  Don't like the
interface all
that much but will reinstall and try to get the Web-based JAVA interface up
and going and
see what that is like. http://www.arkeia.com

these prices are from http://elinux.com
#57879 Arkeia Interactive Backup System $164
#57880 Arkeia Basic Linux Offering $289 (is this all I need?)
#57881 Arkeia Mini-LAN $479
#57882 Arkeia Enterprise-LAN $839
"Arkeia Linux as a Backup Solution" classI wish I could have gone today
but couldn't
get away from work.  They had a free class at the La Jolla
Marriott...shucks would have
been a good overview I'm sure.

--ArcServeIT for Linux 6.61beta relased Jan 6th.  I wish I could login or
give this a test
drive.  Anyone have any luck? I guess to get support the email address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  that's what the tech support phone dude told me to
try.
http://www.cai.com $695 Workgroup (think this is all I need) or $1395 for
Advanced
edition.

I've tried it on Redhat 6.2 English and got the web interface to come up
but wasn't able
to sucessfully login.  So I installed a fresh copy of Redhat 6.2 Japanese
and the
directory "ja" doesn't exist..thus the symbolic links aren't correct.  Yes
it supports
Japanese cuz I looked at the web interface images which have kanji, etc.
The "nls"
directory does exist just not the "ja" directory.

Re: Best Book ever?

[tcurl]

Not so much a "good book" thing as it is the author's perspective.  I must
have 30 or so volumes. some are outdated, but not yet trash, as they
sometime provide clues newer books assume.  One book I like is Red Hat
Linux 6 Server - Kabir - M&T Books.  More or less complete for a new
sysadmin on Linux.  But very sparse on some points.  And of course you
always want to look on the net for HOWTOs.  They generally, if found,
provide good step be step for accomplishing what you want to do.

Subject:  Best Book ever?


I am a "Newbie" and am enjoying the new adventure.  I like to use books
to instruct me in new things.  I have purchased several books on Linux,
however, even though I have gotten some good information from them it is
not enough.  I would like to find a VERY complete book on all Linux
commands which is more indepth than "man" or LDP.  These seem to lose me
quickly because, although, they give the commands that's about all.  I
need an instruction manual which gives step by step instructions with
the reasons and expected results (and problems).  So, if any has some
suggestions which would help me out I would appreciate it.
Michael
