If your rescue disk is dinged, then go to a PC somewhere and download
tomsrtbt -- there is a version you can install from DOS.
http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb/
tomsrtbt is a Linux-on-a-disketter. Use this as your rescue disk, mount the
partition that contains /etc, and edit the fstab file.

According to the fsck man page, these options use CAPITAL letters.
But I think all you need to do is
fsck /dev/hdc5
Give the default answer to all the questions and you should be
okay.

I used to have TERRIBLE troubles with this problem of random freezes --
and all my questions to newsgroups etc seemed to elicit answers that it
is a "hardware problem". Not very helpful for a newbie --
However, I am now running SuSE6.1 with its stock IDE kernel2.2.5, and
have reconfigured my Linux hard disk to use Normal CHS addressing, and
NOT LBA addressing. This seems to have *Almost* completely cured the
freezing -- the only freeze I had was when trying to redial with Kppp
too fast (which might have happened in *any* OS!!)
Hope these random thoughts shed some light on the situation --

I'm sorry. I read the man page too quickly. There is an -a
option for automatically fixing the file system. But I still
think if you just do
fsck /dev/hdc5
you will be okay.

Run /usr/sbin/timeconfig. You will get the same screen you got
during installation where you move among choices with the tab
and arrow keys and you mark boxes with the space key. If the
first line referring to GMT has an X in it press the space key
to toggle it off. Then continue by choosing your timezone
and exist the program.
More simply look at /etc/sysconfig/clock and make sure the two
entries are set to false.
You may have to reboot and/or reset the system time and clock
time with timetool. Or you can do it in a terminal window with
date and clock.

Hi,
I am not sure of the problem, but I think it is related to glibc2.1 Go
to Linuxberg and download a saint1.4 from there. For that, you can do a
make linux-glibc21
and it will (hopefully) solve your problem. It did solve for me.

OK, finally managed to get Linux (Redhat 6.0) installed on my PC *and*
seeing my SDSL line (the last was the tricksy bit). Ah, at last! I shall be
free of the eternally crashing Windows OS and the tyranny of Chairman Bill!
Liberty shall be mine!
Er...maybe.
First off, I must be some sort of God of System Failure, as 'crashproof'
Linux bombed on me with Gatesian frequency. A few samples:
a)When I installed my ethernet card (using linuxconf). It nicely installed,
and I could then 'ping' anywhere I wanted, proving I was on the net, DNS
was working, etc. Tried to launch Netscape. Nothing happened. Tried some
other apps. Nothing happened. Tried to logout (this is all under Gnome,
BTW). Nothing happened. No windows could open, it seemed. Finally had to do
a power-down to get out of it.
b)Installed 'metacard' (a hypercard clone) off the Redhat applications CD.
Tried to run the demo. My screen went black and my mouse decided to move to
the lefthand side of the screen without my hand being on it. Charming.
Again, power-down was the only solution. (I did get the application to run,
but I've been afraid to try the demo since then.)
c)Not quite a crash, but several times, when I have tried to go to a page
that 404s under netscape, netscape just closes down. Charming again. (Go to
the Linuxberg page, go to Gnome software, go to Newsreaders, click on the
first one, it's the only 5-penguin product. Try to go to the home page.
Kaboom!)
d)A few other crashes, I forget the circumstances. Rather than the robust
he-man operating system I was expecting, I find I am terrified to do
anything, for fear of having to reboot yet again. (At least when Windows
crashes, it displays a dialog box TELLING you it has crashed. Linux just
sits there, taunting you.) (I know, I know, "I kept my Linux box running
for 14 months and it only stopped because the local power plant exploded."
But let me guess -- it was running as a server, happily chugging through a
limited set of routines. It didn't actually have a real human being
pounding on it, running dubious shareware, mucking with config files, etc,
did it? Aha. Didn't think so.)
Now, on to software. First off, has anyone thought of putting in the
INSTALL text file words to the effect of "you better untar this from /,
otherwise, you'll end up creating a zillion useless directories where you
don't want them because there's no way to tell tar to go to the root to
start?" Apparently not. Do not assume your users intuitively know where
software is 'supposed' to go, especially if they've been trained on OSes
that don't give a damn.
First task, of course, is to find a decent newsreader. It appears there
aren't any, at least if I want to use something a little more
sophisiticated than trn, tin, slrn, or other 'cat walking on the keyboard'
inspired names. Those were lovely in 1980. This is almost 2000. I couldn't
find anything under X to compare with Newswatcher on the Mac or Free Agent
under Windows. Ditto, nothing to match Eudora for mail.
Of course, of the software I did find, I couldn't get any of it to run. I
attempted to install Doom (shareware version) and Gnomehack (A gnome-
enabled version of nethack).
Doom:Untarred it into my home directory. Discovered that it really wanted
to be untarred from the root directory. Tried to copy it there, found out I
had to BE root to copy it to \, su'ed to root, tried it again, untarred it,
tried to run it...got some random 'file not found' error.
Gnomehack:More-or-less the same phenomenon. Addendum:The INSTALL file for
nethack tells you that, when you're done, to just type 'nethack' and play!
Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you the nethack executable is buried in the
src directory. It also didn't work.
Thus far, this has been inauspicious. I'm not giving up -- I know most of
my problems are due more to newbie cluelessness than OS problems, and I
intend to dive in to man pages, documentation, etc, in order to figure out
what I'm doing wrong. But there's plenty of people who won't make the
effort, and, if you REALLY want to unseat Chairman Bill, you've got to
think about them.
A few suggestions, mostly random:
Why the SMEG does X write output to STDOUT when you can't SEE it until you
leave X? At the very least, the user should have the option of all error
messages being written to an X Terminal visible on their desktop. There's
nothing like shutting down X and seeing a screenful of error messages which
would have been a lot more helpful to know about WHEN I GENERATED THEM!
If you are going to have a taskbar at the bottom of the screen, make sure
the applications know it is there. Maximizing Netscape hides the taskbar,
for example. For that matter, clicking on the various task buttons (like,
to bring up one of my terminals) just plays a pretty 'boing' sound. I have
to manually minimize windows to find the one I want. So what's the point?
(Maybe some error message was displayed...on the text screen I can't see
'cause I'm running X!)
Is it just me, or is X rather, uhm, sluggish? I have a PII 400 and the
whole GUI felt like it was running in molasses. Is there some 'trick' to
speeding it up?
'Samegnome' is disturbingly addictive.
Directories do not need version names, especially for enduser apps.
'FooBar1.01-45A-intel-linux-2.0' is a *stupid* name for a directory. (Or a
file, for that matter). Since the Macintosh, which also permits very long
file names, is NOT afflicted with this sort of nonsense, I don't see why
Linux has to be.
More rants as the situation warrents. BTW, how good is CodeWarrior as an
IDE? I used it on the mac and loved it, and it's for sale cheap for Linux
at my local CompUSA...recommendations/condemnations welcome.

Try MeshTV (http://www.llnl.gov/bdiv/meshtv/). This requires a special file
format (API is included). However the results are well worth it. You can
interactively zoom, rotate, plot 2-D slices, many more things. The only thing I
don't have working is the OpenGL engine (there is apparently a bug in the code).
Oh, and you'll need Motif to compile the source.
