I assume that by "virtual CD" you mean an image of a CD on disk, that you
can use as if it were a real CD.  There are two basic ways to build such a
beast:

1) Use dd or some other utility to copy an existing CD.  For instance,
   "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd-image.img" will do the trick, if your CD-ROM
   device is /dev/cdrom.
2) Use mkisofs, mkhybrid, or some other CD-R creation utility to build
   a CD image from files on your hard disk.

To USE the CD image, you need to mount it with the loopback device option.
For instance:

mount cd-image.img /mnt/cdrom -o loop

You'll probably need to be root to do this, and you'll need to have the
loopback device either compiled into your kernel or available as a
module, as well as the filesystem driver for the CD image (probably
ISO-9660).

He has to make sure that it is at least 2.3.6 because 2.3.5 is buggy enough for someone
to be searching for a shot gun to end it's misery.
What happened on the PCs I had this was that most of the time it would not dial the
first time unless I had just rebooted the PC. I would also get a lot of stalls. That
version was so useless that I would prefer to browse the net under winblows. This is
how bad it was. My problems went away since I upgraded to ppp-2.6.3-2

People who get Mandrake 5.3 or RedHat 5.9 have to watch out since they are bundled with
the broken PPP version.

[..original attachment deleted..]

David,
you may want to try my modification of the perl script you posted. The
main difference is that the output of the fortune command is now
assigned to the variable via backticks quoting which prevents the output
to be sent directly to STDOUT as you already stated and also I have
added a 'sleep 1' at the end of the loop because in many cases it just
happened that the loop ran twice per 'cat .signature'. Although I'm not
sure what the 'select' construct is intended for I assume that the idea
was to make sure that the loop just runs once per 'cat .signature' but
as I said, at least on my machine it didn't work until I added the
'sleep 1'.

while (1) {
  open (IN, "</home/xxx/mail-signature");
  @sig = <IN>;
  close IN;
  @fortune = `fortune /home/xxx/taglines/fortune`;
  @signature = (@sig,@fortune);
  open (OUT, ">/home/xxx/.signature");
  $ofh = select (OUT);
  $| = 1;
  select ($ofh);
  print OUT @signature, "\n";
  close OUT;
  sleep 1;
}

Did you run "depmod -a 2.0.35"? This is required to build the
list of module dependencies for the new kernel.

depends on how you want to go bout doin it??

1. adjust cmos time to correspond with GMT time

2. Run setup (if redhat 5.x) and set the time info in there...

Note: there are other ways for other distribs, but all i use is redhat atm.

I looked at all the above, but they don't fit with my long term

These involve providing a back-up system for a gatewayed mailing

What I don't think anyone in this thread have pointed out is that there
is a fairly good overview of linux games, at (guess) www.linuxgames.com.


The followups are sat to comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy. Silly discussions
about "my OS is better than your OS" shouldn't waste time for anyone,

Write them in 'joliet' format and use a recent kernel.  ISO-9660 doesn't
support long file names natively, but does so through extensions
(usually Rockridge on normal machines, but MS was slow in implementing
that and ended up making their own format instead of matching the rest
of the world).

Subject: Compilation fails

Hi everybody!

I get a strange error trying to configure x11amp and licq before I compile them. After
downloading and extracting the files x11amp-0.9-beta1.tar.gz and licq-0.61.tar.gz, I do

[/tmp]$ cd x11amp-0.9

I can't see what I'm doing wrong, because I have done this many times before.

  Don't know whether it 'take C++ from a Linux perspective' but _The

I've had trouble installing on systems with various wierd disk
controllers too; often, you can find information about new drivers or
whatever that'll render your hardware useful, but you can't get the
initial install to complete.  The thing to do in this case is get a
plain ol' disk (IDE or supported-controller-SCSI) and install on
that.  Once your system is running, you can get the latest, greatest
drivers, build new kernels, bring up your RAID hardware, and move
bits & pieces of the OS over to it, until eventually you have
everything where you want it.  Then you return the plain ol' disk to
whomever you got it from.
