Switching to another version won't help.
What can't be found is libICE*
what I did on my system:
[brusso@smegma X11]$ locate libICE
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libICE.so.6
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libICE.so.6.0
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libICE.so.6.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.3
[brusso@smegma X11]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/opt/kde/lib
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
/usr/lib/games/doom
You will see that /usr/i486-linuxout/lib
is listed. So I am set. I run ldconfig.
know the compile finds it.
Or if I didn't want that directory in my ld.so.cache
I could edit the Makefile for the package I was installing
and add either directory that the libICE.so* stuff was in
to the
LIBPATH
variable in the Makefile.

I thought it was just me, It took my a hell of a long time to get a decent
display at 1024x768, allthough I can't now get any other resolution to behave
sensibly. The strange thing is after achieving this I actually found out what
my monitors parameters are, changing X to suit these accurate values resulted
in a worse display!
I'm now back to my working 1024x768 display which I'm pretty satisfied with
(although a little flickery).

Linux. Does anyone know how to make Linux know that 8.3 filenames are not
used anymore and that long filenames exist? Because when i copy files on

Subject: dual booting NT and linux without windows boot loaders
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 01:35:27 -0500
Greetings. I have searched the web, many linux documentation sites,
usenet groups, and several HOWTOs and I have yet to find an answer for
this. Every mention to how boot loaders are configured to boot both NT
and linux use the NT boot loader as the primary loader, in the MBR, and
call LILO or similar as a chain loader.
My problem stems from the fact that NT 4.0 workstation failed to provide
me with a boot loader even after several different installations. During
it's install sequence after formatting the partition and installing a
series of programs in C:\ and C:\Winnt\, it asks that I reboot without any
disk in the floppy drive or CDROM drive, inferring that the MBR is set and
it will boot NT for further installation procedures. Each time I reboot,
I find whatever boot loader I last had in the MBR to be completely left as
it was. This was even the case for an empty MBR.
What I am interested in is finding either information on how to have LILO
boot the NT partition, or find an alternative to LILO that can accomplish
this.
Let me know if you know of a fix to this. Thx.

P.S. Isn't it funny that Java is supposed to be so cross-platform, but Sun's

whats the main differences - Im guessing from the posts in this thread that
RedHat is more easily setup - but what has Slack got that RedHat hasnt (just

Finally, Ive currently got Win98/NT 4 dual booting on a single drive - how easy

So try to edit the Makefile. There should be something like "CC=gcc". Try
to put "g++" or "c++" instead gcc.

I believe you'd have to create the filesystem, then mount the ramdisk.
This isn't something you can do automatically through your /etc/fstab
file, I'd make it part of my init.d sequence. AFAIK, Linux defaults
ramdisks to 4 MB, I haven't messed around enough to find out how to
bypass this limitation.
For the poster (above) asking what the advantages of a ramdisk would be,
over, say, a cached disk partition, my understanding is:
- A ramdisk is addressed as memory, not as a filesystem. On a
sufficiently volatile system, a given disk page will not remain in
cache for long.
- A ramdisk, OTOH, will be swapped out if system memory loads demand.
This swapped image is _still_ addressed as memory, which is faster
than the corresponding disk access.
....not that I've tested this myself, but that's the theory.
OTOH, a Sun E10K I used with 11GB RAM mounted as /tmp did perform fairly
spectacularly..... <g>

There have been some recent changes in accounting file structures. You

I'd tend to agree that OSS QC is more concerned with results (working
code, function, correctness) than with process (CMM, ISO 9000).
The best "nuts 'n' bolts" software construction methods text I know is
Steve McConnell's "Code Complete", Microsoft Press, 1993 (irony noted).
Steve has also written "Software Project Survival Guide", you'll find my
name among the acknowledgements. I feel the first was by far the better
book. Among its pluses is an extremely extensive bibliography which
mentions virtually every significant work in the field.
Other notable authors include: Brooks, Yourdon, Wienberg, Lister,
DeMarco, Jon Bentley, Knuth, Eric S. Raymond (The New Hacker's
Dictionary), Davis (201 Principles of Software Development), Larry
Constantine. My opinion is that the relevance of an expert wanes
quickly with their departure from active coding. Old words may remain
golden.
I've maintained a periodic correspondence with Steve, in particular WRT
OSS and Linux development. IMO, OSS is the distillation of 30 years of
programmers hammering the same advice into management's deaf ears:
start simple, build slowly, compile/test often, fix bugs first, get it
right, "fast, good, cheap, pick any two", Murphy was an optimist, use
peer and code review (public code). I found Jamie W. Zawinski's
(http://www.jwz.org/) BALUG talk on Mozilla's development practices to
be fascinating, and passed comments on to McConnell.
Steve is currently the editor for IEEE Software
(http://www.computer.org/software/), and maintains a website with other
quality related information (http://www.construx.com/stevemcc/). IEEE
Software just featured a relatively decent Linux special issue.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On 13 Feb 1999 14:32:07 -0600, Leslie Mikesell did say with great verbosity:
:Is there some reason for putting this under /usr/doc instead of
:/usr/lib/sendmail-cf where the original redhat version lives?
Instead of building it as a different package (as redhat did) we have
included it in the main RPM as we feel you *need* to have these files to
install/run sendmail properly. As for their placement *shrug*.
Under /usr/doc/sendmail-rhcn-%version it works equally as well, and does not
get killed/overwritten when you upgrade from one version to the next (your
changes will remain in /usr/doc/sendmail-rhcn-%version/cf/cf).
:Also, is there any explanation for the items in the mc file
:that differ from the redhat version. I appreciate having the
:rpm package but I still like to know what it is doing and why.
the cf/README file and sendmail ops manual explain all the options fully.
The configuration we provide is proven to work well on most systems, and in
the case of busy servers or not-included features will you have to tweak
some of the values, inwhich case the .mc file is also provided...
It is a good point though, and maybe in the next version we shall include a
README with the .mc file to detail the settings we have.
Hope that helps answer your questions.

Sounds like a lilo.conf problem. What's your lilo.conf file look like
(copy it in post). Re-run lilo, making sure you've got the correct root
partition specified. I'm not very good at reading device/partition
(30:2) specs, but I think you should have something more like "3:02b"
than "30:2b".

I would keep the 2.2.1 source but can the older stuff. Make sure you
create a link between linux/ and linux-2.2.1/ with:
ln -s linux-2.2.1/ linux/
When I upgraded to 2.2.1 I forgot to "unlink" these so untarring and
gunzipping in /usr/src/ messed up my old source. Solution: I deleted
linux/ and linux-2.0.34/ then untarred and unzipped the new source
again, so now I don't have any of the old source around. I'm testing out
the new kernel and am having some ppp troubles and IP Masquerading
troubles, but everything else seems to be ok.

: Uh, I thought Rock Ridge extensions were for long filenames, and
: Joliet was for unicode, or multiple code pages, or some kind of
: foreign character thing.
man mkisofs
...
-J Generate Joliet directory records in addition to
regular iso9660 file names. This is primarily use�
ful when the discs are to be used on Windows-NT or
Windows-95 machines. The Joliet filenames are
specified in Unicode and each path component can be
up to 64 Unicode characters long.
...
-R Generate SUSP and RR records using the Rock Ridge
protocol to further describe the files on the
iso9660 filesystem.
So yes, you are right too.

Note that one of the limitations often cited of CERT is that it is _not_
a full disclosure service. CERT issues advisories, but does not always
provide all information required to assess, recover from, or prevent a
given exploit.
You might want to check also with BUGTRAQ and the newly announced HERT
(Hackers Emergency Response Team), both of which specifically address
the full disclosure issue.

In my understanding, writing a directory means modify it. Probably you
should give some more details about your problem.
