Re: Transferring updates across local network

Using RHN I have updated one of my three RH8.0 systems. All three of them are on a LAN, at my home. Since this updating is kind of a courtesy from Redhat, by virtue of my buying RH8.0 from them, I can only update one machine with RHN (or so I gather). So one machine is updated. The other two are not. It would seem logical to me that I should be able to then update the other two machines on the LAN then, by merely copying the files. Is that true? Or am I being overly naive/trusting/innocent??? Anyone done it? John I am sure there are other methods of updating over a lan, but this works for me. I am making the assumption that all 3 have internet access. I also do not run the rhnsd. I update by running up2date. You need to register all 3 machines with RHN. Not to worry... registration is free. I have 3 machines registered right now under one account, using different machine descriptions so I can tell which is which. Two of them run on separate partitions on one box (one for test and one for everyday use) and one is at work.The thing is, only 1 can be active at a time. When you want to update a machine, login to RHN and make that machine active. Then run up2date on the active machine. To save bandwidth and time, I make sure I configure up2date to save the update downloads. I think the default dir for the downloads is /var/spool/up2date. I have changed the default to a directory mounted to a shared partition on my home box so both installs can use them without having to copy the files. For work, I burn a CD and then copy the files from it to the default directory. When up2date connects, you tell it what to update. If the files are where up2date expects to see them, it will skip the download part. I even burn an update CD for a friend of mine so he doesn't have to download the updates over his dialup connection. Since his install is a little different from mine, he still has to download an update from time to time. Just a side note. I have recently paid for basic service. Although I could keep up2date for free, I wanted to give at least some support to my distro of choice.

Re: php/sendmail/apache/linux...(oops)
When I pasted your code from the email... got some strange characters in the paste. When I deleted them, I also deleted the '.' in front of the Reply-To causing the parse error. Works fine as is on my machine. Sorry for the waisted bandwidth.

RE: Scroll wheel not working in X
When I last tried to use a mouse through a KVM (one with external power and one without), I was using RH7.0 and XFree 3 ( I think). Scrolling didn't work on either of the linux boxes, so I hooked a separate mouse direct to the linux box and forgot about it until now. I unplugged the mouse direct to the linux box and plugged in the KVM mouse cable. On the non-powered KVM, RH8.0, XFree 4... scrolling works just fine now! Maybe the newer XFree? I'll try it on the powered KVM when I get back to work on Monday. Anyway, I have a little more desk space now... and no more grabbing the wrong mouse. :) Doug Interesting...perhaps it's the KVM switch that I use then... Craig I gave up trying to get linux to recognize the wheel through my kvm device (both at home and at work). It works fine on the windows boxes connected through the kvms, but not on the linux boxes. I finally gave up and connected a mouse direct to the linux box. Scrolls just fine that way. I've heard that some kvm's work with the wheel... and some don't. Doug I had given up a long time ago because I really didn't care enough to figure it out BUT this thread got me thinking about it. Turned out that I got it to work finally...I had 2 mice configured in /etc/X11/XF86Config Mouse0 DevInputMice. I commented out the latter throughout and restarted X and it now works. Not important but wanted to let you know that if you look at it, the answer is quite possibly in front of you.

The symptom you described is consistent with not finding the boot loader. That's why I was wondering if the device (HD) names had changed. mw I'm relatively new to linux and very new to grub. I've been reading the manual and searching google to learn about grub before installing it. One thing the manual said... Normally IDE drives number less than SCSI drives. That would seem to mean that (hd0,0) now points grub to the ide instead of the scsi. I expect the grub command line still works? If so, at the grub prompt try find /boot/grub/stage1 That should list the drive where your boot images are. I guessing it is now (hd1,0) instead of (hd0,0). If so, you can edit the grub.config or boot from the command line by entering: (assuming this is the kernel you want... otherwise change the kernel and initrd version) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ac4 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=791 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19-ac4.img boot Remember... I haven't used grub yet... this is guess based on my understanding of the manual. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
