Hello,
        I installed rpm on my slackware box via the Slackware + rpm
mini-howto.  I am assuming rpm was installed since every time I try to
install a rpm package i get failed dependencies to libs/files that are
already installed.  I am pretty sure that there should be a file to tell
rpm where these libs are? /usr/etc/rpm contains some interesting files,
but no lib= entry. Anyone know how to tell rpm that the libs are already
installed?
                                        Thanks,
                                                Navi

I started the FTP under Netscape, taking care to write down the entire
URL.
When the line dropped, I restarted it by using ftp (by itself -- no
netscape).  After that, every time the lie dropped, I used a reget
instead of a get to resume the download from where it left off.
This worked fine.

I have the same problem with the video card.  I haven't investigated
yet (no time) but I suspect that the default list of screen modes Redhat
provides for my monitor happens not to match the list of screen modes
for the ATI card.
The solution is probably to add a few entries to these configuration
files.
OS/2 and Windows 95 have no trouble reaching higher resolutions.
Maybe your Debian config files would provide a clue?

In hindsight, we should have backed those up, but they are gone forever. Maybe
a newer version would help, we used 5.0 but I can get a 5.2 CD. What did you
use?

It seems to work fine with libc5.  When I got it there were two download
options, one with a single large file, and one broken into 8 segments.
I could not get the 8 segment version to work, but the single, file
worked.

Subject: Linux fails to boot after dual-booting Windows 95;Reinstall LILO and it works 
again!?
Date: Thu, 07 Jan 1999 01:31:24 GMT

Hi,
        Has anybody ever had problems booting Linux after exiting
Windows 95 on a dual boot system using LILO?

I had a perfectly working dual boot system (Debian 2.0 / Win95) a few
days ago but after I installed a US Robotics 56k Plug N Play external
modem under Linux and then Win95 (both without problems) I couldn't
boot Linux off the hard-drive when the last boot-up was to Windows
95...

I don't think LILO is really failing since I get almost all the way
through the boot sequence before the computer simply resets itself
(like someone pushed the Reset switch) at the 'Loading vfat' line and
I am left watching the BIOS bootup screens.

So the order of events is like this:
1. Turn on machine; Get LILO boot: prompt.
2. Choose Windows 95; Win95 boots correctly.
3. Shut down Win95; Reboot machine; Get LILO boot: prompt.
4. Choose Linux; Watch boot messages (gets past HDD detection,
mounting drives, fsck)
5. Machine reboots itself when loadable modules line is displayed
(Loading vfat...), right after vfat item is displayed.
6. Insert Linux bootable floppy made during inital installation.
7. Boot again; No LILO prompt (from hard-drive).
8. Boot correctly all the way.
9. Reinstall LILO; Reboot machine; Get LILO prompt.
10. Choose Linux; Boot correctly all the way.

This is so strange since this system worked perfectly before I
installed the 56k modem, which works great under both OS's! Why would
re-installing LILO fix the Loading vfat module problem? What does a
modem have to do with LILO?

Please give me any advice you can, I am losing my mind...

Thanks in advance,
Eric Hardwick

You can find a lot of discussion of this with DejaNews. Probably
the c.o.l.developement.system NG.

I think it had something to do with being able to "lock" the
incomming and outgoing ports separately.  Two schemes for this
developed.  Probably the two-name way was better in some ways,
but to many people where confused by it, and the battle was
won by the one-name crowd.  It mostly affects the programmers.

I wonder if your "problem" would be solved by pointing /dev/modem
to the other port.  Some software creates lock files based on
/dev/modem and some on /dev/cua* and if you don't configure things
right, the SW can't figure out what you want.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am trying to install a Digi Acceleport/Xe on a RH 5.1 box.

The software installation goes OK.  I can look at /proc/devices and see
the digi stuff.  No errors on boot or kernel recompile.  The digi
devices (ttyD?, cud?) are created in /dev.

When I do ditty /dev/ttyD0, I get 

/dev/ttyD0: No such device

This is an ISA card with some sort of software config for the IRQ and
memory window.  I'm guessing that the problem is an IRQ conflict or
memory window conflict.  I can't seem to be able to find out that IRQ /
mem window the board is set at, so configuration is trial and error-so
far, mostly on the error side.

Any ideas, HOWTOs, or FAQs on installing this board?

TIA,

Yan

yikes. How well does the FAT filesystem handle the lotsa-little-files
problem so common with news spools? Most modern generic Unix filesystems
don't handle it overly well. FAT32 would greatly reduce the overhead from
slack space. But I understand that FAT was originally written for floppies
in mind and so is really simple but doesn't handle large directories very
well (i.e fast or efficient).

bye

(When I get more disk space, I want to try out the reiserfs. It's
supposed to be very good for lots of little files)

I'm trying to use a RedHat 5.2 Linux serve to serve up "X" over the

Xwindows client. 

Is there a decent FAQ or HOWTO that explains this well?  The ones with
Redhat don't seem to explain anything except local X setup for the Linux
box itself.

What setup do I need to do on Linux to properly setup for remote X?
Also, what is the setup to do securely via SSH 2.0?

You mean that /etc/hosts is supposed to contain all information about

What exactly is being looked up is not clear yet.  It might be
corona.snydernet.lan, or something else.  See below.

Named doesn't use /etc/hosts.

The domains behind the "search" keyword (corona.snydernet.lan and
snydernet.lan) aren't looked up by themselves.

Sendmail uses DNS for several things which you might not expect:

(1) Resolving the local hostname to an address.

(2) Resolving the addresses of all your network interfaces to hostnames.

(3) Canonifying mail domains (the part after @).

For (1) and (2), just make sure that your hostname and your interfaces are
in /etc/hosts where sendmail runs.  For (3), set "FEATURE(nocanonify)"
in sendmail.mc if you use it, or disable the address rewrite rules that
use $[ ... $] in sendmail.cf.

Hope this helps.                                                  Vincent.

Well, this doesn't answer the questions you ask.  However, if your goal is to

And, diald is available, pre-compiled and ready to go in an .rpm at

Okay, the most probable thing that is happening is that your path does not
contain the current directory.You have two choices: add the you current
directory to your path issuing a command like PATH=.;$PATH or try to do the
make including the full path, such as /usr/src/linux/make mrproper.

Wow, there is a LOT of misinformation on that site. I'd be embarrassed to
use that as ammo for the suits. Sounds like it was written by a clueless
suit. No offense, but perhaps you'd be better off doing some research and
validating your claims before you publish and advertise something like that.

The shutdown system doesn't know that you have xdm is running.  Disable whatever
you're currently doing to start it, and instead start it by editing
/etc/inittab, changing the line

    id:3:initdefault:

to

    id:5:initdefault:

This is known as "run level 5", and will automatically start xdm at boot time
under RedHat, and will leave some kind of trail so that the shutdown system
knows that xdm needs to be killed inter alia.

Hi All,

I am using RedHat 4.1. I am fiddling with the .rhosts, hosts.equiv stuff. 
So far, I have disabled the tcp wrapper for rshd, rexecd, and rlogind. I 
tried adding .rhosts afterwards, and it fails. Then I tried removing all 
these .rhosts files and then add the remote hostnames in hosts.equiv, and 
it works for ordinary users but not the root. After I read the man page, 
it does not help as those daemons don't accept the -h option as those are 
old versions. Besides, the man pages do not say that it needs special 
options anyways to make the thing work for root. I know that using 
"telnet", I can't login root directly. Is there anyway to get these BSD 
services to work for root? If you have an idea, let me know through email 
to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Thanks!

This might be a stupid question, but did you unpack those rpm's?  Gotta

Were you in the /usr/src/linux directory at the time?  If so, is make

I've got it running under Slackware 3.4 which still uses libc5 as far as
I can tell.  Works beautifully.  One slight installation caveat is the
file I downloaded was labelled GUILG00.gz when in reality it is a
gzipped tarball.  I simply renamed it to guilg00.tar.gz and proceeded as
normal as per the instructions.
