I have a K6-2 300 on a FIC 2013 with 256 meg of ram, Adaptec 2940 Ultra

recompile my OS in 118 minutes. A kernel recompile, from dead nothing,
takes a little over 3 minutes.

The fact remains that it has been done in practice.
The only question remains is why my alma mater could
pull it off in the 80's while that other fellow's
university can't seem to manage in the 90's.

1. The IP's you are using are not dummies, use IP's in the private
range like 192.168.x.x.
2. Your ISP's router doesn't know where your LAN machines are and is
unlikely to accept any routing from them, so it cannot route anything
back to them (probably looking for the real 198.1.1.2 if it exists).
Unless you buy more internet IP's from your ISP, you will have to IP
Masquerade or use a proxy.

Sounds like you may not have proper static routing to your LAN. The
LAN cannot be a defaultroute since that needs to be used for ppp.
Cannot tell what it should be without knowing what IP's are hanging
off of each of the ethernet cards. It would be much easier to make
each net card a different subnet (like 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1).
Then you could simply:
route add -net 192.168.1.0 eth0
route add -net 192.168.2.0 eth1

Yes, I agree that I've probably been using the wrong terms. What I
meant was free for use in GPL products. If that doesn't leave Yet
Another Hole. So what is the correct term for products that require
the purchase of a license before they can be used?
Also, it's been my unstated assumption all along that the library
would be statically bound into any product that used it. That's the
way I plan to use it, but I suppose other people might want to make it
a shared library.
If it was a shared library that would spice things up a little. Not
sure how the idea of a closed-source proprietary product using a GPL
shared library affects this... would company M be able to sell a
product that depended on a commonly available GPL shared library that
was a closed-source buy-before-you-try type product?

Well, we're getting real close, but I'm not "convinced" until I
release code under GPL or equivalent. No matter how much I may like
the idea now, it's "doing the deed" that commits one. -steve

Well, I don't know about that - everything worked fine before I screwed
with the system. I'm still a little confused as to what the current
preferred setup is, i.e. which version of egcs (if any) and which gcc.
Anyhow, the real questions are a) where did you get the GNUPro Toolkit?
b) is it in rpm? and c)what's in the package that would have solved the
shared libraries problem?
I'm curious what the result of rpm -qlp GNUProx.y.z.i386.rpm would be,
or what it installed or overwrote that fixed gcc.

It may *appear* to be an unreasonably overinclusive definition.
That doesn't mean that if the matter went to court that they wouldn't go
along with it being an infringement.
The fabled legal "reasonable person" could surely regard the inclusion
of a "cannot be sold for profit" component as being forbidden.
The matter could reasonably be interpreted both ways, with the result
that it is certainly not safe for the folks at CheapBytes to include
software licensed under such an arrangement.
And a careful VAR would be similarly careful to avoid inclusion of these
"free products with critical restrictions on their distribution;" while
it is unlikely that Columbia University would go after me if I built you
a PC, put a copy of Kermit on it, and failed to include a copy of the
documentation from Columbia Press, they would be rather more likely to
pursue the matter if I were selling hundreds of PCs and including
Kermit...

Some practical uses for adding hardlinks:
- you want to share a set of files with another account on your machine,
but would like to prevent either user from deleting the files (accidently
or otherwise).
- you want to use up somebody else's quota. (Hardlinks can have nasty uses.;)
Note that hardlinks are only pointers to inodes, and that a hardlink does not
consume disk space (not much anyway).
- you are a speed freak or hard link freak. The speed gain is so minimal
that if you notice it, there is something wrong.
I am kinda short on uses specific to hard links, but they can be handy.

Symlinks are handy because you can upload a file to the original and
all links will point to the new file. However, they are somewhat less
secure because they can link across filesystems and there is the
potential that a different file system could be mounted there.
Hard links point to the actual inode on the same file system, so they
should be more secure. If you edit such a file in place, all hard
links still point to that same inode. But if you upload a file to one
of the links, that link will be to a new file and all other links will
still point to the old file. So if you upload to a hard link, you
need to remember to redo all the other hard links to it.
Our apache webserver is running the 'suexec' option which runs CGI
suid as the directory owner. For security reasons suexec allows hard
links to CGI, but not symlinks. So if a single script looks at its
own name for options (different names to same script for different
options), we can now only do that with hard links.

Subject: Re: IDE RAID controllers for Linux
Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 02:50:06 GMT
Most computers today come with two onboard IDE controllers. If you need to
mirror lots of drives, you can install one DupliDisk RAID 1 controller on the
Primary IDE and another on the Secondary IDE. Each DupliDisk can handle up
to two pairs of mirrored drives--one pair on the Master Channel and another
on the Slave channel. If you hook up your four existing 6.5 Gbyte drives to
the DupliDisk on the Primary IDE, you can still add two more pairs of 6.5
Gbyte drives to the DupliDisk on the Secondary IDE. Or, you could hook up
one pair of really big drives to the second DupliDisk, using only the Master
channel of the Secondary IDE for mirroring. This would leave the Slave
channel free for a CD-ROM.

Just so you're not led astray, Graham, the other two posters were
correct--item 3 of this one is wrong. The answer is:
find / -name 'xyz*.*' -print
or, if you want a case-insensitive search,
find / -iname 'xyz*.*' -print
Check out the ls(1) and find(1) man pages.
