Subject: ...a Linux RedHat Technician/Superuser ?
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 23:48:00 +0200
Hi...
I have been a SysAdmin for 3 years now, but I'm fairly new to Linux.
I bought a book on Linux called "Linux Secrets" which is OK for an
everyday user I guess. The only problem is I won't become a
poweruser by reading only this book, or a Linux technician for
all that it matters. I need some HEAVY material, something
that any good Linux technician should know. Seeing that Linux
is not too well known in South Africa yet, I have a difficult time
in getting my hands on the right study/reading material.
If there's any above average Linux SUPERUSER or technician out
there that can give me a hand/hints on proper reading/learning material
I would appreciate it very much.
I am currently running Win95/Winnt 4 Server/RedHat 5.1 and we all
know which is the best O/S....
Thanks Guys & Gals

If that is the case then the sections saying you can't sue for damages are
also null and void...

I've wondered about that. I've installed X-Windows software on to
PCs and not had to frig around.....Gah, I've just realised why!
The PC software must be using the Windows API so it doesn't need
to set those details - they are already done.

Even so, it just doesn't rate removing an American President.
An abidication earlier on would have served some moral purpose.
This hypocrisy of dragging him through an impeachment serves
no moral purpose (except to a few people fooling them selves)
and only serves to damage the office (of president) further.
That is considerably more important than this particular
wanker (far more important).

Have you tried using the fdisk that came with your version of Linux, or you
could try a version of fdisk from (perish the thought <grin>) windows 95 or
above. i.e. not DOS 6.2 or below. in there should be an option to delete
a unrecognized partion.
Have fun ;-)

That is true. Even Which? magazine pointed that out a few years ago when
they looked at a warranty for Stacker (the disk compression software). I
do wish people would take more notice of these things.

Okay, that's kind of what I gathered so far. It sounds really cool, but
I've heard it's kind of difficult to install and configure. I've also
heard that some people have trouble with it crashing. I'm going to be
running a K6-3 300 with 64M of RAM. Should I have a problem?

The docking bar and dockable applets are useable in E also, are they not?
Right now, I still think that Window Maker is my best choice.

Okay, I wasn't sure whether or not it had been overtaken.

Hehehe. Yah, I've noticed that there are quite a few KDE zealots out
there. I don't know about that one. The idea of the apps being all
glued together and built in isn't that appealing to me.

Yah, I was talking about the themes on http://gtk.themes.org . Are they
WM-independent as long as you're running GNOME, or what? I know most (if
not all) WM's are themeable by themselves, but how does GTK themes apply

So, you're running 1440x1080 on a 17" monitor? You mean you're not blind

Is this the only terminal that allows this? I was looking at the
AfterStep theme called "Translucency" on this page:
http://as.themes.org/themes.shtml
Here is the screen shot: http://as.themes.org/shots/Translunacy.jpg
Is this something that the WM allowed the designer to do, or what?

The partions should be fairly easy to delete, I think you referring to LILO,
in which case you will have to do a "fdisk /mbr" to "wipe" the drive.

The problem seems to be somewhere else. top reports the following:
39 processes: 38 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.0% user, 2.9% system, 0.0% nice, 97.1% idle
Mem: 386084K av, 133996K used, 252088K free, 27712K shrd, 68612K buff
Swap: 130748K av, 0K used, 130748K free 43892K cached
This should be enough memory.
The manpage for semget() says something about the constant SHMMAX:
Maximum size in bytes for a shared memory segment: implementation dependent.
This constant is set to 33554432, which is 32M.
What I need is a workaround, to get a shared memory segment of 200-250 MB.
Thanks.

But... the XF86Config "Modeline" information will, eventually, be
converted back into values which will be stuffed into the adapter's
control and data registers. Admittedly, the number, location, and
meanings for these registers will be highly chipset-specific, but for a
given chipset / adapter, those _are_ the complete set of available knobs
to tweak. Doesn't matter if the controling software is the adapter's
BIOS, an OS/2 display driver, or the SVGA X Server, those registers are
all the software has to configure the chipset for a monitor. Or have I
overlooked something?
The only (;-) problem would seem to be constructing Modelines _from_ the
register contents (and hoping that EGA-style write-only control
registers are now completely out of fashion). Trivial (;-) E.F.E.
(Exercise For Engineers), right? (;-)

Thank you for the good illustration. An automatic transmission requires
complexity of design and manufacture, but it's _not_ complicated to
_operate_.
Or a typical "WYSIWYG" word processor, where I don't have to to worry
about kerning, and I can use multiple fonts without having to manually
position each sentence on the "page".

Understood. The good news is that monitors are getting "smarter", and
newer standards look like they allow monitor data to be communicated
directly to the adapter. It'll make life easier for Those Who Come
After Us.

I think that the problem is that you need to have the boot on a parition
<8GB... HOWEVER, I have a Quantum Fireball 12GB that simply shuts down.
My MB is capable of UDMA and I have a Quantum 8GB drive that works just
fine. I am installing the new 12GB as a master disk on the secondary
controller (no other devices on that controller) and Linux simply
reports that the device is busy ... continuously.
So, if I may pirate this posting and ask if anyone else has seen this
problem, please let me know what the solution is! I am running kernel
2.2.0 and i386.
Baffled, the problem with the 8GB limit is the age old 1024 cylinders
problem... some machines have a BIOS that will see past this limit
at boot time, others don't ... my guess is that yours doesn't!
Hope that this helps,
Brad
