Now that it is March, 1999 I figure I might as well get around to
asking. Are the years in Linux 4 digits, or are my server programs which
support Y2K going to get messed up next year?
Is there a FAQ about this somewhere?

i can accept multiple processes, none of which take up more than 2 (or
perhaps 3) GB each, yet the whole thing needs more than 4 GB to fit
into memory. the heavyweight application (yes singular, if you had
two independents, you could run them on two boxen) will need to be
written so that it uses multiple processes. some database type stuff
may already be in such a form.

the 68k was a wonderful processor. C compilers could easily figure
out the difference between an int and a pointer and put the right
thing in the right slot. that wasn't a pain at all. you could pretty
much guess what the C code would translate into. the m68k was a fine
cpu.
the small, medium, compact, far, huge memory model thing was much more
difficult. i remember working on both m68k and x86 back in 1990 and
the m68k just *so* much easier to deal with. x86 has register
over-specialization in combination with a dearth of registers. the
16 bit segments made it suck that much more.
i remember coding C for the x86 in 16 bit mode and it was no fun to
juggle memory models. huge pointers will break C++ for sure. look at
NULL, it's an int (or maybe a long). things go wrong if pointers are
64 bit quantities and NULL is a 32 bit thing. i am not sure if the
standard allows NULL to be 0LL. i know it disallows (void *) 0
(stupid yes, but that's how it is).
if i ever need to address more than 4 GB from a single process, it is
high time for me to get a 64 bit processor. it's as simple as that.

Hi there.
What you see is the result of using FIPS. It is due to the way how FIPS work
and how it made your partition smaller.
You can safely ignore this message from fdisk, as it will not have impact on
anything. If you want the message to dissapear, you will have to recreate the
partition you made smaller with FIPS.
LBA is addressing mode that enables your computer to access big disks. It is
important under Win95/98. To Linux, it is only relevant at boot time. LBA is
good on big drives, there is nothing to worry about.

I might have an application for pdfTeX, so I thought I'd give a try. pdfTeX's
author suggests processing example.tex, and studying how it does what it does.
So that's what I tried.
I have RedHat Linux 5.2, which comes with something called pdfTeX, but
without example.tex. I found example.tex on an ftp site, but it very quickly
caused an error in pdftex and quit. So I found a newer version of pdftex in
RPM format (apologies to the non-linux lurkers), downloaded that and
installed it. (BTW, I had to upgrade my tetex to do this... some dependency
was missing.)
Anyway, now I have what I hope is a consistent set of pdftex and example.tex
(they both came from the same RPM package).
But no dice.
It fails with "l.156 can't use 'file' and 'num' at the same time in goto
action" or somesuch. Well, I can find a "goto action" but any mention of
"file" after that is commented out. If I comment out the "num 1" we get past
that, but it fails at a color-changing directive.
Any help? It's hard to debug your learning tool :)
I can't find any version numbers on any of the pdftex stuff except the RPM
which I think is 0.9-14.

Hmmmmmm looks like it is the second drive in your box and like it is coneccted
to the SCSI controller.
I had a similar situation and have figured out that my Seagate Barracuda (SCSI)
spins down when it is overheating. It seems to detect the overheat and turns
the motor off. Any access attempt to the drive turns the motor on again.
I never lost any data from that drive, but it was annoying. An extra cooler for
the drive fixed the problem.

Mount all the partitions there, just like it'd be if you booted
up.. you know, /mnt /mnt/usr or whatever you like. Then do
cd /
find . | grep -v /mnt | grep -v /proc | cpio -dpmu /mnt
You should be able to edit your lilo.conf to point to the new drive,
then run lilo, then boot the new drive. This has worked for me, but I
may have left something out, so check the man pages and THINK before

If I got it right, you have a POP3 account somewhere and
want to read mail from your /var/spool/mail.
This is possible by using fetchmail. Read the manpage for
fetchmail and you will find everything you need to configure
it there. Once configured, it works pretty well and does
exactly what you need.

Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 12:09:46 +0000
kerneld is only obsolete, if you compiled your kernel with kmod support.
kmod is a part of the kernel that replaces kerneld.
Read about it in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kmod.txt. If you compiled
the new kernel with kmod support, you can remove kerneld, it is not needed
anymore. If not, recompile with kmod support and remove kerneld when done.
If you take look at your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script, you will see that
the script
checks for kmod presence and decides wether to enable kerneld or not, so
it will do no harm to leave everything as it is, even if your kernel has
kmod support.

My RH5.2 setup has a command-line mixer control command that is just perfect
for initializing the sound at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local (the very last
thing that is run before the login prompt comes up.) Actually I put a "play"
command in there too so the machine can make a nice hi-fi startup noise just
like UnmentionableOS.
In my machine, the cable from the CD-ROM to the sound card picks up noise,
although not terribly loud. I also keep the microphone input muted when
not in use.

Hello
During installation you cannot configure the NIC. Therefore after complete
installation follow the procedure given below.
1. Execute the command "insmod tlan" at the prompt. 2. Execute the command
"netconf" at the prompt. 3. Configure the NIC by selecting the "Basic Host
Information option" and entering the IP Address, Netmask, Net device as eth0
and Kernal as tlan. 4. Select the "Gateway and routing" option from main menu
and fill in the detail of Gateway address and without fail enable the Gateway
option. 5. Accept the changes and exit from utility. 6. If you are installing
Redhat Linux 5.0 or 5.1 add the line "insmod tlan" in
/etc/rc.d/init/d/network. 7. To confirm about the configuration execute the
command "ifconfig -a" which will display the details of your NIC configured.

If you installed RedHat, you can configure your connexion via the Control
Pannel (Liloconf).
There, you can configure the options for your network.
If you connect via DHCP, just mark the option dhcp, and mention the dhcp
server ip at the place where your local IP is required.
It should work !
If not, check the error message (like using dhcp on eth0 ... failed), and
mail it here :)

99% off all Unix programs are millenium compliant. Since good programmers
use the kernel clock. The kernel clock is 32 bits so the millenium bug will
happen in the year 2038. Though with the newest kernels this is changed to
64 bits so you can go about a few billion years further.,

As with all Unix systems, the time is a large number representing the
second from sometime in 1974. It will overflow sometime in 203X so the
Y2k isn't something we have to worry about quite yet....though we should
try to get it fixed long before 203X so we don't run into this problem

Nope that's not possible. When you've got the sources of those programs
then you can recompile them and if they are written with ANSI C or C++
