Do you realize that a CGI program cannot write a web page to the client,
and then expect to read something back via HTTP ? That is, when you
click the "SAVE" button, a new independent HTTP request of some sort
is sent to the Apache server, which will start a fresh copy of whatever
CGI program is mentioned in the URL. This is radically different from
running a single program at the command line which writes to the TTY
and then waits to read a reply. Maybe you could post some code here ?

I've been running RedHat 5.2. for a few months now and need to add a new
hard disk so I can run more applications (e.g Oracle which required 600MB).
Does anyone know if this can be done in Linux?
I guess I need to split the existing /usr directory across the old and the
new disk. How do I do this?
Can anyone give me a set of procedures I need to go through when adding the
disk drive?
Any help much appreciated!

If you have defined your 'subnet mask' to be more than 16bits (i.e.
255.255.0.0),
you'll have to stick a router between the two Linux boxes. You see, they
look to
be on different subnets, and would ignore each other if they were.
Rather than add more hardware to your lan, either
a) change the IP address on the new Linux box to a 192.168.16.x address
(like your first Linux box has), or
b) change the subnet masks on *both* Linux boxes to be 255.255.0.0
(in order to put both machines on the same subnet).
Of course, option (b) above may have detrimental effects on your
existing LAN.

I was reading over the bogomips howto today, and the numbers really
surprised me.
Consistently, socket-7 or super-socket-7 systems are twice as fast as
comparable
slot-2 systems. For example, a Pentium MMX 233 is as fast as a
Pentium-2 466.
A AMD K6-2 440 is twice as fast as a Pentium-2 450. Why is this? The
AMD K6-2 440
beat out all single processor Linux systems, including Alphas! (for
32bit math). It
was almost as fast as a Cray J90!
(FYI, I have actually seen this, our Pentium MMX 233's are about 33 %
faster than our
Celeron 333's), and they Celerons are noticibly slower.
Why?

I have been trying to load RedHat 5.2 and it keeps rebooting my system
in the middle of copying the files to the hard drive. It started out by
rebooting during formating and installation of ext2 filesystem. The hard
drive formats and works fine in DOS, I would ask RedHat but they
misprinted my reg # on the case so I'm waiting for the mess to get
fixed. The hard drive is a Fujitsu mpc3043at 4.3Gig. If anyone has any
ideas I would appreciate it.

I think that whatever package manager you are using should be smart
enough to figure out what distro you are using. This is a major
project...but it would be a great benefit to all concerned. Create a
specification for the software creators to follow in specifying where they
want it installed. The package will have a database of distros that will say
where they will allow things to be installed, and if there is a conflict, it
will then create symlinks in the place the package wants pointing at the
place where the distro wants the package installed. If the software creators
want to do some extra work, they might be a option for different sets of
configuration files for each distro. Another option will be to check for
dependancies...some programs have none, others a great number of them.
Now, I am not totally familar with Ports, or the Debian package
managemetn system, since, alas, I used to run SLS, and now Slackware, with a
year long flirtation with Red Hat.
I've been using Linux since kernel v0.12, and have see all sorts of
package systems, they are great for many people...but there will always be
us who like to compile things and install them ourselves. Yes, we may be
twisted...<grin>...but the heart of Linux has always been flexablity. And I
think it would be a shame to loose that flexablity.

Linux is *free*. There is NO shareware version. You don't need to buy a
licence. It is *absolutely free* -- check out www.gnu.org for more info on
its licence. In essence, the GPL says that it's copyrighted, but you're

b) modify it (the source code has to be provided with a GPL app)

The integrated Compaq 32bit SCSI controller does not show up on the Redhat
supported hardware list. I think
this is unique chipset, custom made for Compaq. Also, you don't specify the
NCR chipset -- while many NCR chipsets are supported under Tier 1/2 , some are
not. Have you verified that Redhat supports the specific chipset
on your card?

Subject: Trouble getting ftape to work properly with DJ-20 (QIC-80) floppy tape

I'm having trouble getting ftape to work properly with my tape drive.
I'm
using the ftape version that comes with the 2.2.5 kernel distribution.
My tape drive is working properly in NT, so I'm certain that its a
configuration problem and not a hardware problem. Whenever I try to do
a ftformat ( from the ftape tools distribution ), I get the following

I am certain that there is no problem with the tape or with the drive.
I've tried ftformat, ftmt erase, mt erase, and doing a backup with tar.
They all give the same problem.
The lines that stick out the most to me are lines 13 and 19. Does
anybody know what ftape error code 26 is, or what "wrong signature in
header segment" means? I've searched all over the ftape web page
looking for info on this, and there just doesn't seem to be any.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I dunno...the whole lot of package tools would have to be evaluated
before any one could be selected.
(Which is why the summary selection of RPM without ANY consultation

Diald provides a way for anyone to interact with it via a named pipe. I

HP3000 run MPE(XL) not HP-UX. This hardware can be easy converted to
HP9000 (by running service tape) that run HP-UX. As I remember MPE
has no CPIO , just STORE/RESTORE. Latest MPE has built in POSIX
tree commands (UNIX on top of another OS!!) that may include cpio .
In this case you should ask parameters (block size) of cpio command.
I was successfuly read tar tapes done on HP-UX and never tried
cpio from MPE !!! HP claims that this commands only POSIX compliant.

Oh yeah! tell me about different OSes compatibility...
OK, let us _assume_ Windows initializes the modem in some obscure way,
which is kept kinda hidden in all those modem drivers supplied for
Windows. There is the following AT command which I found in the list of
commands for Zoltrix and Aopen modems, and i guess it is rather
standard:
AT&V Display Current Configuration and Stored Profile
That is, you start Terminal (is it Windows' for minicom?) and after the
modem has been initialized you look up its current configuration (all
those S-registers: S??=??...).

After the modem has been configured and starts dialing, this is _up to a
modem
and the remote computer_ to negotiate the connection speed. Make sure
that
AT&V reports _the same_ current configuration under Windows and Linux
and
try a few connections, to get some statistics.
Please keep me informed about what happens!
Cheese,

Jason,
Just dump the line
yes no
into a shell script (you may want to put a #!/bin/sh on the line before
it, but since Linux seems quite happy w/o it). Call the shell script
'no'. Put it somewhere along your path, do a 'chmod u+x', or whatever
permissions you want to give it, & that should do it for you.
