I'd recommend finding somebody with Partition Magic. I use the second latest version, not the Windows GUI 'oh great' version, the DOS GUI version. This will allow you to 'move' the Extended partition to the end of the drive, which will in turn move all the Free Space together.

[SLUG] Finding out the library versions
Hi, I am trying to upgrade some libraries and would like to find out what version is installed on my system. I have tried the "strings" command but am getting more confusing version numbers for each file. The "ldd" and "ldconfig" command did not help that much. How do I find out what version of library is on my system? Thanks for any help. -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ => Time is relative.

[SLUG] problem w/ partitions
hi firstly thanks for all the ppl who gave tips on backup methods i am currently trialing a few.. (i actually managed to build rsync from the source for win which is pretty cool) anyway I wanted to reduce my win partition from 6.5 gb to 3. so i did scandisk and defrag and split it with fips no problems reported. I then deleted the partition i had just created. the funney thing is and i am not sure if it should work or not if i try to make a new partition of all free space i cant get 8 gb as i would expect. or cant i join paritions that arnt next to each other.?? If so how do i mearge the 2 lots of free space together. the other thing is why does fdisk say tha /dev/hda2 exists and cfdisk says it dosent. what exactly is an extended partition again and why dosent cfdisk see it as extended. Partition Table for /dev/hda from fdisk Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 454 3432208+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 889 1671 59194805 Extended /dev/hda5 889 908151168+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 1658 1671105808+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 909 1657 5662408+ 83 Linux partition table of /dev/hda from cfdisk Name FlagsPart Type FS Type [Label]Size (MB) - hda1 Boot PrimaryWin95 FAT32 (LBA) 3514.62 Pri/LogFree Space 3359.79 hda5LogicalLinux ext2 154.83 hda7LogicalLinux ext2 5798.34 hda6LogicalLinux swap 108.39 Pri/LogFree Space 5101.61 This is what it should be and seems to be when running the system. hda1 is winbloze hda5 is /boot hda7 is / hda6 is swap and about 8gb of spare space. thanks all ghoti -- Sometimes i sit and think, Other times i just sit.

[SLUG] Fix to: Help - Disaster Struck
Thanks for those who responded. The fix was a bit of patience and Reading TFM e2fsck -b 16385 -c /dev/hdd1 The -c did a bad block check, in frustration I left the system overnight as it appeared just to hang... no disk activity for about 10 minutes. This morning it had finished (well dropped back to shell anyway), and now the fs is mountable. All fsck'ing now works ok with no block being reported as bad (probably -c may have repaired them) I was able to get the critical configuration files off the disk. The physical disk is now destined for the scrap heap as I ain't going to chance it in a live enviroment.

[SLUG] A super sparc?
Hi Slug, I have acquired a couple of new workstations. The problem is I'm not really sure what the boxes are... The cases are labelled "Axil 311" and they appear to have 6 CPU's ?? labelled "Super Sparc TMS390". Unfortunately there is no RAM, and the slots seem to need 100 pin ? memory which I've never seen ;( So, can anyone identify these boxes? Does anyone know where I can source some RAM for them? SMP linux is appealing ;) Cheers, Marty -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

At one stage they did, but PHB in the banks decided that IBM had
killed OS/2 and started to move them over to NT. There have been a
couple of rollouts of NT ATMs in Sydney I believe.
