I am absolutely a newbie at this Linux thing (I've had it going for 6
days now!) but I managed to upgrade from 2.0.36 (mandrake 5.3) to 2.2.3
without any problems save a printer that quit working (fixed now -
thanks - I know what happened.) I even got full sound in the bargain.

Hi!
You can always find the newest kernel versions at ftp.kernel.org. As this
server is never available for downloading kernels due to high load you
should use either ftp.us.kernel.org or ftp.ca.kernel.org. The kernel can be
found in the directory /pub/linux/kernel. As of now, there are two different
kinds of kernel source code available, one is the 2.0.x, the other one the
2.2.x. For 2.0.x 2.0.36 is the newest version, while for 2.2.x 2.2.3 is the
newest release of the kernel.
The 2.2.3 has a lot of major improvements compared to 2.0.36 but also brings
some bugs with it. You can always find the changes in the source code tar
archives. Only be sure that you don't download a version with an odd middle
number (minor version number) like 2.1.x because these are considered
development versions and hence are often very unstable!!
To install (this varies among the distributions but hopefully this should
work):
1. Be sure you have root permission.
2. Copy the xxxxxx.tar.gz into the /usr/src directory.
3. Remove the symbolic link linux with "rm linux".
4. Untar the archive with "tar -xvzf xxxxxx.tar.gz".
5. Rename the created directory to linux-2.x.y (set x and y according to the
downloaded version) with "mv linux linux-2.x.y").
6. Create a new symbolic link to the new kernel source code with "ln -s
linux-2.x.y linux".
7. Change into the source code directory with "cd linux".
8. Run "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" (for this you have to be in
XWindows) to configure the kernel.
9. Make the appropriate settings and exit the configuration system.
10. Run "make dep zImage modules modules_install", which creates the kernel
image file used for bootup. (This takes some time)
10b. If 10 should fail because of a too large image rerun with "make clean
dep bzImage modules modules_install".
11. Copy the image file into the root directory with "cp
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /test" or replace zImage with bzImage
in case you used 10b.
12. Configure /etc/lilo.conf with a text editor. You have too add the
following lines:
image = /test
root = /dev/*** (where *** specifies the correct hard disk drive and
partition, e.g. /dev/sda3)
label = test
13. Run lilo by typing "lilo".
14. You should be all set!! :) -> If lilo outputs the "boot:" prompt you
write test and press return.
I hope I didn't make any mistake while describing the process since I am in
WinNT right now.
Sincerely,
Lin Zhi-Ming

Do you have net access at home? If so, get yourself VNC; you run your
Linux apps at home and display them on your NT screen.

Well, my wife is a freecell lover, but she demands more
I may need a freecell with the follow capabilities:
1) Be able to generate pattern for different difficulty levels.]
2) Be able to provide hint if she can not figure out next move.
3) Be able to provide the record of best solution(fewest steps) for each
pattern.
4) Or for shortest time.
5) be able to provide best solution automatically (fewest steps)
I may have to hack some version of free freecell and add those functionality.
Is this project feasiable?

Subject: umounting big FileSystem
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 17:32:52 +0100
Hi. I got a big filesystem with 29 Gigs.
I don't shut it down many times but when I do,
when it restarts the fs usually are broken and I
have to reboot with a floppy and do a manual e2fsck.
It even says when it shutdowns that it can't
umount a fs because it is busy.
It's an old slackware that has been upgrading. Now
it's got kernel-2.2.2.
When it shutdowns it does this:
if [ ! "`mount | head -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 5`" = "umsdos" ]; then
umount -a -tnonfs
umount -a -tnonfs
echo "Remounting root filesystem read-only."
mount -n -o remount,ro /
else
umount -a -tnonfs -tnoumsdos
umount -a -tnonfs -tnoumsdos
fi
I doubled the umounts but keeps doing it.
It's a pain because it takes hours to reboot.

I have a similar problem with a adaptec card.
going back to kernel-2.0.36 solved it.

That can be done easily with dhcpd or bootp.
With bootp just edit the file /etc/bootp.conf and follow the
examples you'll find there.
Then just launch bootpd.

The router part depends on what you want the win95 clients do.
If you want mail and web. Install a web proxy such as squid
in the linux server. Install also sendmail and cyrus-imap and
configure the win95 clients to read and send mail to the linux.

Hi,
I have encountered a bit weird problem lately. Running a server (Pentium, 2.0.35)
with 3 AVM-Fritz-ISA-Cards stuck inside for incoming calls on 1TR6 and DSS1,
the server _sometimes_ cuts every connection and seems to hang - you won't connect to
it
via ISDN until reboot mostly, but ocasionally it's getting back to work smoothly......

This may or may not be AMD related, but anytime I try to compile
the kernel with X running, I get a Signal 11. If I exit X
and untar everything again, and recompile, it works. I don't
remember this happening on my Pentium, but I could be wrong.

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.
Your feed back is apprecieated.
Regards

Exclude /proc, it is not a "real" filesystem. /usr/bin/updatedb is actually
a shell script, take a look ... you can configure where to search and might
exclude other directories like /tmp, /var/log etc. too.

The last step is /sbin/lilo

Subject: Shell Provider - FreeBSD
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 22:56:48 GMT
Hi,
I am looking forward to providing shell access on a machine running FreeBSD.
What are the trouble spots in terms of security will I have to look out for to
prevent hackers ?
Also, how will I go about adding new accounts to the machine without giving
too much access to system-related activities ? Will using the command
'adduser' be good enough to restrict the new account's access to the system
files ?
Thanks.
Regards.
