Title: RE: how to tar a filelist ?
Tar will accept the paths as command-line parameters or from a specific text file.
Warning: tar will tar the directories _and their contents_ if you include the directory paths (e.g. /usr/bin). You could filter your filelist with something like this:-

Make VFAT modular (not built-in) and then:-

that)

That's probably what's wrong. You need to install the cdrecord RPM and then
install the gcombust RPM.
You can go to rpmfind.net and find the set of RPM's specific to your
particular Linux distribution. That should do the trick.

It's a kernel bug. I remember reading about this in Kernel Traffic. Try
searching February's archives. I think the only solution was to rebuild the
filing system completely (i.e. copy everything to another fs, reformat the
first one, then copy it all back). Or, you could wait for the next kernel

Try 'rpm -v groff' to see if the groff RPM has become corrupted. Has it done

As far as the timezone thingy goes:-
If you set your system clock to 12:00 (midday) under Windows, RH7 will think
it's actually 07:00. RH7, unlike Windows, leaves the BIOS clock (is that

The new web site is at:-

After running the INSTALL script, type:-
# cd /usr/share/mondo
# gcc mondo-filelistchop.c
# mv a.out mondo-filelistchop
# chmod +x mondo-filelistchop
This will be incorporated in the next release.
If you haven't already done so, you need to

Mandrake and Red Hat use different RPM's, so you _could_ really mess up your

Just my 2 cents.
It would be more advisable to go to the 'Rpmfind.net' web site and download
the Red Hat-specific KDE 2 RPM's from there. Or, go t

Assuming that Mandrake Linux 6.1's i586 RPMs were compiled using pgcc/egcs
