cyclic redundency check (I think). Are you trying to load from CD-ROM or floppy?

CRC error
CRC = Cyclical Redundancy Check. It's an algorithm to verify whether or not data has been corrupted... and it's implying that something is, indeed, corrupting data. Since it's happening across distributions, I would probably start to suspect your RAM.

Amanda Howto?
Hello, I was wonderring if there was a quick and easy HOWTO for Amanda out there I've looked in linuxdoc.org and run basic searches. The only one I found was the Linux Backup HOWTO which didn't cover any advanced things or ven really Amanda at all except to say it's out there and beyond the scope of a simple HOWTO ...and I did find one HOWTO for Amanda in Spanish. Anyone know enough technical Spanish to translate? It's at: http://www.samtek.es/howtos/amanda/amanda-howto.html Anyone out there have a relatively simple set of instructions for getting it up and running with minimal hassle? For those interested, here's what I'm trying to do: At work, we need backups made nightly, with weekly fulls. Amanda to run on a PIII800/384 Mandrake8.1 to later be moved to an Athlon1900+/1024/RH7.2. Tape drive is an HP Surestore Autoloader (1/9) with Ultrium tapes.

Re: Amanda Howto?
On Thu, 21 Feb 2002, Paul Lussier wrote: I was wonderring if there was a quick and easy HOWTO for Amanda out there No, but she comes with extensice documentation in the docs/ subdir of the source. Been there. That's what I'm complaining about. They are great if I wanted to modify or troubleshoot, but I'm trying to install and configure tyhe initial amanda.conf files etc. If you installed the RPMs from RH, I highly recommend you 'rpm -e' immediately and install from source. RH not only places the amanda stuff in really bizarre locations, but they don't even configure the package properly. Most problems I've seen on the amanda-user's mailing list over the past couple of years have been easily solved by installing from source over the RH rpms. Yup. Been perusing that thread on their archives. I had initially installed from source any way. At the time I didn't even bother looking for the RPM because it wasn't on the sourceforge download page. If the maintainers don't make the rpm, and it didn't get installed when I installed the OS, I will generally install feom source any way. Anyone out there have a relatively simple set of instructions for getting it up and running with minimal hassle? No, other than following the docs/* files. Amanda is an incredibly complex package, and as a result, it's not *easy* to do anything with it until you really know and understand how she works. So I'm seeing. But with all the good press it's gotten I figured someone would write a decent install doc. The one in the doc/* directory blows. It's misleading, incomplete, and plain wrong. I've been using Amanda for years, so I'm quite familiar with her quirks and idiosynchrosies (for a while my wife was referring to Amanda as the other woman because fighting with her cause me to get home so late so many times :) LOL I'm beginning to think a wife might be easier to handle. For those interested, here's what I'm trying to do: At work, we need backups made nightly, with weekly fulls. Amanda to run on a PIII800/384 Mandrake8.1 to later be moved to an Athlon1900+/1024/RH7.2. Tape drive is an HP Surestore Autoloader (1/9) with Ultrium tapes. There is about half a TB that needs to be backed up at the moment. First thing is this: Amanda uses a dumpcycle during which you are guaranteed to get fulldumps done at least once per file system, but not all at once, nor on the same tape. That's just the way amanda works. Amanda is designed to load balance everything for you and take the hassle out of trying to figure out which level to do when. That's part of what I like about it. Most comercial packages, when they work, are flakey and each one is a completely different animal. That being said, you can do what you want, you just need to be creative. I've been doing this for quite some time. What I did was create 2 configurations: 'fulldumps' and 'incrementals'. [snip] I hope that helps. Feel free to e-mail me privately if you get stuck! G I think once I get a cycle (or two) going, I'll be Ok. I just need to get the initial configs working. The examples were mostly useless, and the Linuxconf plugin wasn't much better. Looks like I'm going to have to wing it from the docs available. Maybe I can keep a log of what I did and write the beginnings of a mini-howto.

Re: KDE/GNOME Customization?
You can customize the keys mouse buttons in control center - sawfish - shortcuts. I use middle mouse button on the title to raise/lower, F7 to iconify, etc. I don't use the menus but I bet if you dig into it, there is a way to do it from shortcuts. You can set it to pop the apps menu or the main menu (the foot).

The 'fulldumps' dumpcycle is 1 week, but in the disklist file, I force a level 0 on every run. I offsite the fulldumps, and keep the incrementals on site. This allows for quick recovery of a file lost to the 'oops factor' without having to resort to getting the tapes from offsite.

Take NH-111 West all the way into Nashua - Be warned that NH-111 makes two 90-degree right turns for this route, which are quite easy to miss, so keep an eye on those signs. One is by I-93 in Windham, the other is in Hudson right after a Time Square sign that looks like a clock. 2. Turn right when you reach Main Street. - Next to a Texaco station; you see City Hall across to the right 3. Take a left at the first lighted intersection. 4. The first entrance on the right is the parking lot behind Martha's. * To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *
Re: MELBA meeting next Wednesday, 27 Feb 2002, 19:00ish
Martha's Exchange is a restaurant on Main St. in downtown Nashua. Very easy to get to from Rt. 3. There is usually plenty of on-street parking, but the parking garage at the Bus station is less than a block away, and is very cheap.

Re: backup DNS
Hi Rich, You might want to look into some free secondary DNS services like www.granitecanyon.com. If not, I'll do what I can for you here from my home network.

Re: backup DNS
I've used mydyndns.org for a few other things as for backup services they want $20 for life (and they're NFP, volunteer run), but I figured for a LUG site there would be someone out there, and several people have stepped up. thanks, --rdp On Thu, 21 Feb 2002, Kenneth E.

Re: GPG and different mailers
[EMAIL PROTECTED] forged: I changed my mind; I take back everything I just said. GPG is useless and everyone who uses it are a bunch of kneebiting jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the $%@! hits the fan... My point has never been that forgery is impossible, so your forgery stunt illustrates... what? It's like sucker-punching a coworker who is unconvinced by any of your other attempts to persuade him that the workplace is a dangerous environment. There! You see??! That PROVES it! My point has always been simply that this channel has a blessedly high S/N ratio that is worth preserving, and pointlessly cluttered messages degrade it. PGP is pointless here because this channel (and GNHLUG in general) is a safe environment. If it ever got to the point where I had to wonder if a given message here was forged, my response would not be to inflict PGP clutter on everybody else. I would simply interpret that as the death of the GNHLUG and be sadly on my way. In the meantime, though, since forgery is a total non-issue on this channel, the PGP clutter is no more appropriate here than any of the other clutter (eg. HTML, TNEF, RichText, etc, etc...) so please allow me to beg y'all not to inflict it on the rest of us. --Michael O'Donnell * To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *
Web gateway (was: Interesting Newbie...)
On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, Bruce Dawson wrote: The web site was created so that people who are more comfortable with the web than with mailing lists can participate in the group - an attempt to open a channel to a wider audience for promoting Linux in New Hampshire. Your difficulty with the web site (and the mailing list discussion) is making me re-think this approach. I have been thinking about that too. One thing that occurred to me is that a web-based interface perhaps lacks something. Subscribing to a mailing list requires making the commitment to participate in the forum. You can post what you want -- but you also have to read the replies [1]. With a web-based forum, it is easy and common to post a message and then forget about it, or ignore the flames and wait for the next top-level thread. I think gating the mailing list to the web for reading is a definite good idea. I suspect that, for myself, I would prefer the more traditional method of email being required to post. But my opinions on this are still largely unformed, and I certainly don't speak for anyone but myself, let alone GNHLUG as a whole. What do others here think? Footnotes [1] Yes, I am aware it is trivial to circumvent these restrictions.

GUI vs CLI (was: Interesting Newbie...)
On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, Bruce Dawson wrote: But to be honest with you, I believe the biggest problem ex-M$ users have with Linux is Linux's command line heritage. I disagree. In my not-so-humble opinion, I think the whole GUI vs CLI argument is a red herring. Choice of user interface style has little to do with the complexity of computer systems. Whether you are using vi or GEdit, you still have to know what you are doing to configure routing properly. Whether you are using REGEDIT or the MMC, you still have to know what you are doing to configure NTDS properly. The issue is the inherent complexity of computer systems, not the user interface. I do know, without a doubt, what the biggest problem facing people looking for an alternative to Microsoft products is, though. Go into a Best Buy or a Circuit City or a CompUSA. Or go online and look at Dell and Compaq and Gateway. Or open up your mail order catalog, or go to a local computer show. Go anywhere, and try and find an IBM-compatible computer that *DOESN'T* come pre-loaded with MS-Windows. That is the biggest problem right there: Microsoft has leveraged their monopoly to the point where MS-Windows and computer are practically synonymous for the mass-market. To use the classic argument: How well would Pepsi do if you had to buy a Coke with every meal? But, for the newbie, there's probably a better solution ... Newbies should not be trying to install an OS. Installing and configuring a full computer operating system is a pain in the ass, regardless of Linux, Windows, or PC/GEOS. Going from newbie MS user to installing Linux is a hell of a big leap. (This is not a Linux problem -- these newbies are equally screwed when their Windows system needs CPR.) If I have been riding a bicycle my entire life, trying to learn how to drive by building a car from parts is going to be painful. -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
