Hey! Anyone downloads RedHat 6 from its ftp site?
What do you use to download it?
I'm using cuteFTP and it keeps resolving those symbolic links and keep
repeating downloading the same files a couple times!!!
Eg. 'cat' is a link in usr/bin, but it keeps resolving its location and
download the real 'cat' program!!
Can anyone help me?? Thanks

Subject: 2 linux/unix newbie questions!
Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 00:34:40 -0400
Hi all,
I just install RH 6, which went pretty smoothly, except for a few small
bugs. The first time I log in as root, there's a core-dump file (now,
everytime I log in as root, there's a core-dump file). How do I find
out what caused it?
Just try out the new gcc (2.8.1???), but it couldn't find stdio.h. I
found the file somewhere in /usr directory, but gcc couldn't. Any
idea??
Thanks.

Find it as rufus.w3.org in /linux/3/contrib/libc6/SRPMS.
Be sure to disable those ``oh so clever'' insults in config.h.

Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 06:09:38 GMT
I recently upgraded from kernel 2.0.36 to 2.2.3. I have the following
questions:
1) With kernel 2.0.36 my parallel port/printer is detected at /dev/lp1,
and at /dev/lp0 with kernel 2.2.3. Why?
2) I've changed the symbolic link /dev/mouse from /dev/cua0 to
/dev/ttyS0. The permissions are different for cua0 and ttyS0;
cua0: crwxrw---- (I think)
ttyS0: crwxr--r--
Should I change the permissions for ttyS0? Why/Why not?

Hi all-
I'm trying to set up PPP on my Compaq laptop, which has an
integrated 56K modem. Initially, it was set to some odd memory addresses
(it has two, now set to 2F8 and 1400h, IRQ3). I can't get Linux to operate
it, even as root - it keeps coming back with "Modem is busy", even as root.
Any ideas? It works with Windoze. Thanks.

SuSE releases an updated version of their distro every three months.
These are regular releases. I purchased SuSE 6.0 because I wanted the
upgrade to glibc. I upgrade the rest of the system by going to an FTP
site and downloading new kernels, or whatever. MS does not leave this
as an option for it's customers. You want Win2000? You are going to
play for it. Forget the fact that you have been using personal
computers for the last 15 years and have been forced to purchase
upgrades.

They are not really upgrades, as much as they are making it convenient
for the consumer. SuSE 6.0 was based on the 2.0.36 kernel, while 6.1 is
based on the 2.2.5 kernel. Rather than spend hours downloading the new
kernel and some package upgrades, those that had not already purchased
6.0 did not have to spend all of that time for the download and have a
set of CD's, just in case the hard drive goes south :) I would expect
that 6.2, which wil probably be out around August (normal scheduling for
the releae), the kernel will be 2.3.6 :)

Extremely bad. Big root filesystem is less than bright idea even with
big disks. The most fundamental thing about disks being: they fail. At
the most inconvenient moments. Add to that tons of self-inflicted fuckups
(ever did something on Friday evening?) and you'll see why one wants to
have root small. Keeping everything on one filesystem... Well, good luck
cleaning the mess after big mailbomb targeted to one of your lusers.
Ditto for situation when some moron tries to relay through your box.
For several hours. At night. Yup, ignoring 550. Ever seen a gigabyte of
sendmail logs? Ditto for the situation when a motherfucker in two hops
from you decides to go for BI above 10^6. Ditto for the crapware written
by local C++ duh-veloper (of "C++ for Dummies" persuasion) that goes berserk
and starts shitting with ten-megabytes turds. Into /tmp. At rate of one per
minute.

Subject: X11amp Stereo Separation Problem
Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 07:48:30 GMT
I am using RedHat Linux 6.0 (normal installation)
with x11amp 0.9beta1.1, on a machine with a fairly
strong CPU, using SoundBlaster 16.
The problem I'm having is the stereo separation.
Normally the sound quality is very good, but
sometimes the stereo separation gets garbled up
(not lost but garbled up) so that some of the
sounds can only be heard by your left ear and
some other sounds can only be heard by your right
ear. (Especially, the high-frequency sounds can be
heard either on the left or on the right when
the problem occurs.)
The problem goes away when I restart a song or
I use the drag bar.
So I guess the problem is with the mp3 decoder
(because resetting it makes the problem go away).
Is there anyone experiencing the same problem?
Where exactly is the problem? Kernel? OSS?
Sound card? My ear?
Thanks....

So, to be clear, you're happier downloading some pre-compiled binary

TCL is enough to put anyone off nay system for good. So far as I have
been able to determine, for N TCL applications you ave to install N+2
versions of TCL.
I don't install TCL based things, I only have 10 gig of disk and life
