internationalization

I can't seem to rebuild rpm's that install files into /usr/share/locale anymore. Specifically, those files don't get created in the build and the rpm fails to build the binary because of the files missing from the files list. Are there some packages I need to have installed that I don't that

Re: error: xemacs cannot be installed

Does anyone have a clue why the following may be happening? error: xemacs-20.4-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed When I try to install all of the xemacs files at once I get the following: error: xemacs-20.4-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed failed dependencies: xemacs =

egcs

OK, currently I'm running RH5.0 with the updates applied, but want to try out gnome but certain gnome packages require egcs to compile. My question then is, can I safely update to egcs? Does it require me to nuke gcc from my disk? Is it OK to install the compiled binaries, or must I compile it?

building gnome

I've been trying to install gnome here, and building the objc package it dies because I don't have egcs. I really don't want to install it, and am unsure if I need this rpm. Anybody know? Thanks. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES!

DNS resolution

Having just moved my machine back home I'm trying to get my dialup to my ISP going again. My modem works, and I can connect and start ppp just fine. The problem is that I have no working DNS. I have a line in the file that ISP-Hookup-HOWTO says to (I forget which that is) that says "nameserver

Re: adduser

Now what? Do I manually make an entry in /etc/passwd? And if so, what do I use for a passwd since it's encrypted in that file?? I think as root you can do "passwd houze" and change that users password. Or log on as that user and just run passwd. (I don't know if you can log on as that user

question about shutdown

According to the man page for shutdown, I can create a file in /etc called shutdown.allow with a user name per line to allow that user to shutdown the system. I have created said file and added the user I want to be able to shut down as to it, but if I run "/sbin/shutdown -r now" it says that

cron ?

I set up a cron job to run fetchmail for me on my new install, but now root recieves a mail from cron after every use of the tab. Is there any way I can supress that behavior? (Preferably without using procmail to filter those messages out.) -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and

lilo config

I recently added a second hard disk to my machine, and decided to do a second install of redhat on it so as to correct all the mess that I've made on my current system. Anyway, I now need a way to boot it since I didn't want to trash my ability to boot at present. As it stands no, the new install

directory recursing script needed

Specifically, I have large directory structure of html and need to make some changes to the whole works in respects of colors and fonts. I am not sure how I can go about making these changes in mass, but was thinking that there's a simple script out there somewhere that can change all instances

Re: question about netscape

does anybody know how to stop netscape from popping up those highly annoying additional windows full of ads when visiting sites like geocities.com ? yes, i know i can just minimize them, but then they popup again. what i'm looking for is some configuration option to not have them

Re: Not a Desltop OS (was: RE: thanks, but no thanks)

I agree. I personaly don't like Windoze, but there are thing Linux can learn from MS: mainly, some easy to use interfaces that can help those who just bought Linux to configure their machines and learn the basics, so they would be able to go deeper after that.. The basic

Re: Not a Desltop OS (was: RE: thanks, but no thanks)

I'm afraid I need to disagree with this. I picked up linux mostly because I wanted to have some understanding of unix, but it does have potential to be a desktop os. Think about the ease of use complaints, the original poster complained about not knowing how to even change directories.

in.identd

In my logs I have entry after entry like this: Mar 10 01:04:13 Tarats inetd[11056]: execv /usr/sbin/in.identd: No such file or directory Mar 10 01:16:26 Tarats inetd[11061]: execv /usr/sbin/in.identd: No such file or directory Mar 10 01:24:34 Tarats inetd[11066]: execv /usr/sbin/in.identd: No

inodes

After restarting linux this evening, during bootup it complained about "/dev/hda2: Deleted inodo 14989 has zero dtime" for about ten different inodes. Now, I understand what an inode is, so does this mean that a file just got the axe for each of these? Is there any means of checking what, if

compile errors

Sorry to take this stuff here, but I'm trying to compile some stuff for a class on my 5.0 machine and it keeps complaining about undefined references. No normal error this or that. It throws up a list of files with a .o extension all located in /tmp and then declares "undefined refernce to: cout"

fetchmail at startup

OK, having finally got fetchmail and sendmail working right I would like to be able to start up fetchmail as a daemon when my system starts. I figured (erroneously) that I could just put "fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc" into rc.local. I've got the /etc/fetchmailrc setup to start fetchmail in
