I used apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-386 to update my kernel.   I added a line to lilo.conf regarding initrd=/initrd.img (or whatever it was that I was told to do while the new kernel was being installed).  Everything went swimmingly.  When I rebooted my system, I couldn’t see any p

I have 2 boxes with Debian installed.  I thought I’d done things pretty similarly but they must have diverged at some point, because one of the boxes is prone to losing touch with the network.  If the power adapter slips out of my switch (if I knock it for instance) and is then replaced, th

Needing an old version of gcc...

2002-12-16 Thread alan brown
When installing oracle9i the installer threw an error before it even got started saying that it couldn’t find a gcc file that it needed, namely libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2.  So I looked in my /usr/lib directory and saw that I had files very similar to those files (libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.

I have a linux box and a win xp box connected to a linksys firewall router.  They’re sharing an internet connection and are able to ping each other as long as I use their IP address.  However, only my xp box is recognized by name by my router.  The linux box appears to be nameless.    So

I have the newest version of cpio (as confirmed by apt-get).   I’m trying to install oracle.  I’ve downloaded the 3 huge files (xxx.cpio.gz).  I copied them onto CD under windows XP and then copied them onto my linux box (because Oracle’s website wouldn’t work with Konquerer or Mozilla!).
