Hi,
Just wanted to know... how do I make a file with all 1s or 0s or something
with a certain size (eg. 100Mb)?
I was thinking 'dd something' but there is probably a better way?

On older Asus Dual boards you needed to disable MPS 1.4 in the BIOS
otherwise you would get lock ups. I haven't tested this on the newer boards
but it might be worth trying. Also make sure the PSU has enough power, a
300watt should be enough for the second machine. Finally are you using ECC

Earlier in this thread, there was a question of how hardware RAID would
handle the failure of a drive on reboot. While at LinuxWorld I asked the
Intel team how their controller would handle it.
The answer was that the card would note the disk failure, notify you
of the problem, rebuild the ar
As was pointed out to me, really helpfully, check out the
"debbootstrap" package - it'll give you a decent starting point,
probably. I used it to build a fake server environment for a vserver setup

I´d like to get a Firewalling LINUX with IPTABLES into 100 MB for use on a

For this I`d like to use a stock debian, install onto a slightly larger
partition and (scripted) remove excess software to make the 100 MB image.
