I give stuff on the local 192.168 nets a single name, make sure it is in its
own hosts file and the others hosts files on the net.
Sendmail, configured as you have it will choke if it can't resolve its own
hostname. Somehow.

I'm sure this is an easy fix, and has been asked before, but I'm
currently Linux challenged and
haven't been able to fix this:
After I upgraded SuSE from 5.3 to 6.0 some of my applications will not
run. I'm using KDE and simply clicking on the application does nothing.
Reinstalling the software usually works, but sometimes I can't even
reinstall (e.i. Wordperfect -gives a cant find libc5 ~~~)
how can I fix this.
Free beer to who ever can help.
Thanks in advance,

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.

That was not true for me. I could recompile my RH5.2 kernel all right,
and
I didn't even install all the things from the CD. As for the setup

they are just that: scripts. Anybody can read and change them as needed.

And remember sendmail will no be satisfied until these hostnames are fully
qualified. Thus, if your host name is define this way in /etc/hosts
123.123.123.123 myhost
change this into:
123.123.123.123 myhost myhost.mydomain

Subject: Linux/Apache performance question
Date: 19 Mar 1999 14:01:40 GMT
Hi Everybody,
I'm trying out a Linux/Apache combination as a web server. Our
test model uses a lot of files (160,000) so we've tried both software and
hardware RAID at level 0.
The odd thing is that the Linux software RAID outperforms the hardware
RAID. I suspect the megaraid driver just isn't very good. There's plenty
of unused memory and CPU on the system, I don't know where the bottleneck
is. Perhaps I'm missing something? (So far the only suggestion I've
recieved is to switch to FreeBSD but I'll stick with Linux for now.)
The system is a 1-CPU 450MHz HP box, 1GB RAM, and a NetRAID 3Si controller
with 6 10,000 RPM SCSI disks. We've tried the 2.0.36 and 2.2.3 kernels as
well as the .92 and .96 megaraid drivers. I also upped the max number of
files, inodes, and percentage of memory used for file system cache in /proc.
Apache has plenty of servers configured (MaxClients, MaxSpareServers,
StartServers, etc) and doesn't appear to be a problem here.
Thanks for any help, ideas, or pointers you all can give.
-Greg

Well, there are several reasons I want to move it. First of all, it works
perfectly, second of all, the drive that it's currently on is slow and very
old and I don't really trust it anymore. That and I don't really have room
in the case for it with these new drives. I suppose I could do it that way,
but like I said, it's a server so I don't really want it down that long... I

Wait a second... crazy idea... has anyone ever moved a Linux installation

it very successfully to move NT before and it claims to do Linux... that's

When I need to move crap between drives I find the tar command to be quite
usefull:
Assuming you have your new drive mounted as /mnt/newdrive, and also assuming
you have this on one large partition (I usually would seperate out /home and
/usr, but it's up to you):
Go through every directory in / excluding /proc and /mnt and do the following:
[root@hostname /]# tar -c dirname/ | tar -xC /mnt/newdrive/
That should tar up the whole directory and pipe it out to another tar that will
be untarring what is coming through the pipe after changing the current
directory to /mnt/newdrive so that it all shows up in the right directory.
Make sure you don't do it for the /mnt directory (duh.. recursion). and just
mkdir /mnt/newdrive/proc but don't put anything in it.
This should work for copying the crap in /dev also (since a distro usually has
a .tar.gz of the proper /dev dir anyway).
You will also need to properly install lilo on the machine (I strongly
recommend creating a bootdisk with the proper kernel and initrd on it while you
still have your old hd up and running, then reboot with the disk giving it the
root=/dev/sdxN. If all goes well, reconfigure lilo, run it, and you should be
in business.
Dave.
P.S. YMMV, but the tar thing is a trick I like much better than using cp.

Actually...
Thats all I ever do. I use MC (midnight commander), and tag and copy files
and dir's over to floppies, by dir and only the ones I really need that I've
changed or added. I also make sure there is at least 2 hard drives in the
box. Then I mount that drive, formatted as ext2 of course, and just drag
copies of all homes and other important stuff that isn't backed up, and that
wont fit on floppies over there and have them available to restore
afterwards.
Another would be to use one of those parallel port Zip drives and fdisk and
format a few carts for it and do the backups to it. Since owning one of
these, they come in handy and you can make genuine ext2 zip cartriges out of
the regulars and they are reliable and nice to have on hand. If you need
help, holler and I'll pass on the proceedure to install the driver, make
them, mount and unmount them. I do it all the time and it's rather embedded
in my cranial.
Only copy the system stuff you need such as a few of the files in the /etc
folder and /usr. Even the /dev dir is recreated with standard stuff when you
install new. The rest of it is also recreated when you install new system.
If you are doing things right, any changes you made to kernal and other
stuff such as terminfo, etc., you kept a log of this so you can mimik it on
the new one right??!!! When done, just use mc, and drag em' back on there
and restart.

The /proc filesystem is a virtual filesystem and is created dynamically by
the loaded kernel. /dev is a different story. You may be better off
backing up your important stuff (i.e., /home & /usr directories),
reinstalling directly onto the new hard drive, and then restoring your
backed up stuff.
But is there any reason you can't keep your boot partition on the current
drive and just create new (and bigger) partitions on the new one?

The fact is the U*NIX I was talking about (SCO products) had problems in
the OS itself and in the applications.

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
you act.

I would use Ghost for this kind of job. This program will clone the old HD
into the new one in about 5 minutes. It even resizes automatically the
partitions in the case the new HD is bigger than the old one. A real jewel!

Subject: Vanishing CDROM

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Philip J. Le Riche)
I recently upgraded my Abit AX5-based poota (more RAM, Cyrix MII300,
2-speed SCSI CDROM -> 24-speed IDE) and all seemed fine until a couple
of days ago when Win95 lost the CDROM.
Linux can still see it and read it, but it's nowhere to be seen in Win95
Device Manager. I tried another IDE CDROM (broken mechanically but not
electrically) and it can't see that either, but if I put the SCSI CDROM
back it can see that.
I also noticed from Device Manager that my IDE hard drives (I have 2,
primary master and slave - CDROM is secondary master) are running in DOS
compatibility mode, but the help is very unhelpful as to what it means
or what to do about it.
Any ideas? Ta. - Philip
