AW: [SLUG] linux start up problem
Acctually I found out that the FSTAB file is fine, but I was hit by a hacker unfortunally, so I am going to reinstall the whole thing. And yes I am staying with Red Hat...

[SLUG] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hack - Thursday 12th May
The second in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get to Know Your Freedom series is on this Thursday night. When: Thursday, May 12th, 19:00 til 21:30 Where: Corner of Henry and Cook Streets, Turrella, Sydney. ( http://cat.org.au/where.html ) Who: This session is suitable for both complete Linux beginners and those with more experience who wish to share their knowledge and skills. What: In the last session, we learnt about PC hardware by pulling apart a roomful of dis-functional machines and making over 13 functional machines out of them. This time we'll take those thirteen machines, add a few more (or your own if you wish to bring it) and take the next step in getting to know your freedom - installing Free Software on the PC. We will be installing the Linux distribution Ubuntu for this exercise, in a choice of server or desktop configuration (depending on your preference and the machine you choose to install it on). Costs: Attendance is a gold coin donation to help feed the [EMAIL PROTECTED] For a double digit note donation, you can take home the machine you've installed Linux on (all bar five machines are available for this purpose). There are about 20 machines to choose from, from PII's, Dual Pentium Pro's, Apple Macs, Sun Sparc Ultra 5s and assorted odds'n'ends. I look forward to seeing you at what should be a vibrant and educational night.

[SLUG] Squid: Sometimes files stop downloading after 1 mb
Hey SLUG, We are experiencing a strange problem with Squid. We start Squid and it runs fine at first. Then after a period of time it gets into a state where when downloading a file after just before it reaches the 1 mb mark the download pauses as if it has timed out. Once Squid is in this state it can be reliably reproduced. I have sometimes found the downloads resume after a period of waiting, say 10-15 minutes, but are then corrupted. Once in this state it can be restarted and the problem sometimes re-appears and sometimes goes away. We are using Squid 2.5.9-6 Joel -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
