Actually, zImage is a bootimage file containing a gzipped kernel
wrapped in a decompressing relocator.
bzImage is a bootimage file containing a bzip2 compressed kernel
wrapped in a decompressing relocator.
Bzip2 does a better job than gzip, so the bzImage is somewhat smaller.

Subject: Re: mt ... fsf not working
Hello Paul,
this sounds as if you are using an "always rewind" device.
I'm not so familiar with the linux device names, but from my experience on
IBM and HP machines I know that there is a rewindable and a non-rewindable
tape device.
So for all but the last write you have to use the non-rewindable device.
That should work.

Hi Azfar,
did you install linux 2.2.9 over an existing linux 2.0.36? This is
the most probable source for this error. Extract your linux 2.2.9
into an empty directory.

Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 00:36:17 GMT
I have downloaded the BFRIS demo. The problem is when I try to run it it
complains that it cannot find "libX11.so.6" This exact file is in
/usr/X11R6/lib which is in my library path. No other program has a hard
time finding it. I even tried an LD_PRELOAD on the thing and ./bfris
still claimed it wasn't there.
I have mailed the aegistech people for help but it is a weekend so I'll
have to wait for an answer and they might not even know what the problem
is.
Has anyone had and fixed this problem with BFRIS or any other software?

There is only one "Pure, Defacto Linux". The different distributions just give
you different install methods and pre-packaged software. Sort of like the
difference
in computer manufacturers. Compaq and Packard Bell are both intel compatible
machines, just in a different package.
There will be no binarie incompatiblities with different linus versions. In
face I have
had more trouble getting Win3.1 and Win95 software running on Win98 than I
have getting any linux program to work.

Background: previously compiled and installed 2.0.36-0.7, moved back
to kernel 2.0.36
Problem: The module-info file points to 2.0.36-0.7 config and tries to

Hi,
i am trying to compile the 2.2.5 kernel under the redhat6.0 distribution.
after running the make commands i get:
root device = (3,11)
boot device = 512 bytes <===!!!!
Setup = 3548 bytes
System = 522 bytes
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.
i have tried to use as many modules as possible, but i noticed that the boot
device reports a number of bytes instead of a major, minor device number
combo.
i have a separate 16mb partition mounted on /boot. could that be causing the
problem?
thanks.

At the Lilo: prompt you should be able to type linux rescue (or maybe just

The same thing that ensures that commercial Windows software
will run from one machine to the next: target a known revision
of the system libraries or make sure they are present at install
time.

Very little is available to modify from one version of
Linux to the next. Even most of that is freely available
to be assimilated by anyone else. The major commercial
ease of use distros all use Redhat's packaging system
for example.

Subject: Re: Why Linux still isn't my standard boot-up OS, or what are the
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 15:11:46 +0100
Such titles suggest to me that the poster understands little about
Linux and has brought over the usual mental resistance to it. You can
see threads such as "How do I create a .bat file ?", a hearty chuckle at
that, but then you realise that a few months down the road the guy will
probably be teaching others, even old hands, something they didn't know
about Linux.
On the infernal question of editors, I wish someone would bring out a
clone of ISPF (may be IBM themselves), it's very intuitive to use, it
thinks in English, deutsch or whatever flavour.
I never use joe because I've never had piano lessons and plectrum
guitar only allows me great dexterity with fingers on the left hand, may
be there will be an Xjoe. I use a limited subset of vi, enough to get me
by. Xemacs does it all and is certainly ahead of anything else I've seen
in the ubiquitous Windows. Cooledit is also super and easy to use.
Basically I don't think anyone has to look very far for a versatile
editor that takes zero learning, there are others I've seen but not
tried which probably make the grade.
In a magazine article, the author said he prepared his article using
notepad as there was no easy editor in Linux, I enlightened the guy
suitably and he promised to check them out. Before responding, I went
back to Windows to see notepad, in case there was something I missed,
then I looked at gnotepad under Linux, they were both the same, the
electronic equivalent of a scrap of paper.
If the thrust of the thread was that the main drawback to the adoption
of Linux/Unix was choice of editors, someone needs a two minute demo on
what's available.

Sid.

GhostScript can read pdf files (man gs for more info) also check out
gs pdffile.pdf
xpdf which can also read pdf files (type: whereis xpdf to see if you have
it already, you probably do).
xpdf pdffile.pdf

I am having trouble with samba under RH6. Could be a security config
problem under
RH6 ?
testparm runs o.k and the smbd/nmbd daemons are running.
Under an old system smbclient gives :
acorn:~$ smbclient -L acorn
Added interface ip=192.168.1.2 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Sat Jun 12 15:16:56 1999
Timezone is UTC+1.0
Password:
Under RH6
chestnut:~$ smbclient -L chestnut
Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to CHESTNUT failed
session request to *SMBSERVER failed
smb.conf files are almost identical .

Actually, the kernel is quite unique it how it is compiled. Most Linux tools
use the GNU autoconf tools. Basically what you do is run the configure script
like this:
./configure --help
And then do what it tells you to do :). I would strongly suggest taking a look
at the INSTALL file in the root of the apache source directory, it has all the
info that you are likely to need.
