How did you get to your root shell session?  If you su it doesn't
load in root's .bash_profile  setup the normal PATH for root.

Try su - (su space dash) instead, which does load root's profile 
should setup the PATH to include /sbin in your PATH.

 For a price: say ballpark AU$40 a year at most.

Hi Mary,

ozhosting.com may be another option, although the disk space you're
after will push the price over your budget.

try doing the 2 commands in the opposite order, setting everything to 664, 
then set the directories to 775, ie:

chmod -R 664*
chmod -R 775 *.

 But then if I do a chmod -R 664 *.jpg (and

 it works in the directory I'm presently in, but doesn't recurse.

Re: [SLUG] FC8 Installation Problems

2008-01-24 Thread Bernie Pannell
G'day Nigel,
I don't suppose you have another scratch system you could test
installing on?  That'd at least show whether the installation media is
ok.  Then if that works ok, you could try swapping parts like the dvd
drive, etc.

 Trying to upgrade one of our back office servers from FC6 to FC8.

 Downloaded the FC8 DVD iso file. Generated the checksum. Compared okay.
 Booted the DVD. Ran the Test Media option - worked find. Started the
 install.

 After that it gets a little odd. The first time I got around 3/5
 through the update process and then got an Unable to read package file
 message which it just could not get round.

 Tried burning other DVD's but got a lot less further - either fails
 during the boot or I get a load of error messages about :
 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block nnn repeated again and
 again.
 Any ideas? Sick drive maybe?

My uneducated guess is that it's dependent entirely on the ISP's

RE: [SLUG] Replying to the list

2003-04-03 Thread Bernie Pannell
 From: Mick Boda

 I'm using Ximian as my mail client.  To post to the list do I hit reply?
 Or will this use the private email.  As Jeff Waugh pointed out, my RE:'s
 keep changing, that's because I usually type a a new e-mail to respond,
 fearing that hitting reply sends the email to the private address.

you want your replies to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
for me, using Outlook, I must hit Reply to All to get the slug address
included, otherwise, like you, if I hit Reply it only goes to the private
address of the sender, which, in my opinion, is broken, meaning that Reply
*should* default to the slug address.

As others have just indicated, looks like Ximian has a Reply to List
button.

Regards,
Bernie.

  Committee agreed to spend ~$2500 (a very rare large expenditure) on a
  digital video camera to record SLUG talks and events. Everyone has seen
  Jan behind the camera at our meetings, it also came in handy in Perth for
  linux.conf.au. ;-) Thanks to Jan for doing the research, keeping it safe,
  and being SLUG's head cameraman!

I'm interested in this... are the recorded talks  events available
publicly?
I'm in Gosford  haven't managed to make any SLUG meetings yet...  Thanks.
