Good Linux to e'body,
Pl tell me :
1) If HDD have saparate partition for RH6.2 . Booting to linux from C:
drive via loadlin. In such case, is LILO neccesary ? Booting parameters
are passed to kernel directly or through LILO ? Or something else is
happening .
2) What is the meaning of this :
In your /etc directory there should be a PPP directory:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 9 11:01 ppp
If does not exist, create it with these ownerships and
permissions.
i) What is the exact meaning of "drwxrwxr-x". I think d=directory,
rw=read/write access. What is remaining part ? And the succeding "2" ?
ii) How to assign ownerships and permissions in above case ?
3) What is the meaning of this :
If users other than root are to setup PPP connections, the pppd
program should be set uid root:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 95225 Jul 11 00:27
/usr/sbin/pppd
If /usr/sbin/pppd is not set up this way, then as root issue
the command:
chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd
i) "set uid root" means what ?
ii) "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd" means what ?
3) How to achieve this :
When I get local mail , a message " You have new mail" appears . Is
it possible to do something , so that along with this message only
the headers of the accumulated mail are displayed on the screen ? If
yes, then how ?
4) While creating, compilling and linking and checking the o/p of a C
program in DOS, I use Turbo C IDE.
Is there such IDE in Linux ? If no, then how to automate these
jobs in one go ? Can somebody provide me the shell script ? Or is there
some-way while we are in "vi" editing mode ( any other editor will do )
.
5) Can I run foxpro and/or clipper in Linux ? Directly or through
UMSDOS will do. If yes, how and will the .dbf files created so in Linux
portable in DOS. ( I had read about Clipper in some magazine, but do'nt
remember ).
6) My friend said Linux is not a "pure OS". When asked to elaborate, he
could not reply. Is there any such concept of Pure OS or Hybrid OS ?
N.B : If some questions in this posting are not in the limit of LIH, pl
ignore those !
Regards & thanks in advance !
