I use the following command with cdrecord to copy data cds:
cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -isosize -speed=2 /dev/scd1
Of course you'll have to adjust to match the locations of your source and
destination drives.

You could remount it read-only, run e2fsck, then remount it read-write
(if all goes well).

Okay, yet another silly thought, I'm sure, but...
Regarding the recent Linux http performance hack[1], which is kind of
an ugly beast, would it be possible to generalize and elegantize this?
I'm thinking of a way of making arbitrary code blocks run directly in
kernel mode, after the OS somehow verifies that they are harmless to
the OS itself - you naturally don't want to let user mode programs run
arbitrary assembly code in the kernel. Is this possible? What would
it take?
And has it been done already? Would such a system be fast enough that
it would still see the performance benefit from avoiding to cross the
kernel/userland barrier?
-kzm
[1] Assuming not everybody has the time to read the linux kernel
mailing list (neat little resumes on http://www.kt.opensource.org),
the general idea was that putting a simple http server in the kernel
for static pages, and just forwarding more complex requests to a real
web server like apache, could significantly improve performance. In
particular for certain very synthetic benchmarks, one might add.

I loaded Linux on a spare system last friday night and I am smitten!
I'm looking ahead to my next system and was wondering what kind of
hardware considerations I need to make - aside from avoiding anything
prefaced with a "win"? I am especially curious about sound cards. Is
there any one card that is more suitable than the rest? If so, what is

Subject: Protocol features for Linux?
Date: 16 Jun 1999 10:16:58 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am currently investigating the availability and functionality
of a number of protocols for Linux. Please let me know if they are
available (in any form, even outside the standard linux kernel),
and if they aren't in the standard kernel then please tell me where
I can find them (if you can).
Transport Protocols
* IPX/SPX (Does it support the services SAP, RIP and Local
Bindery Database?)
* Netware/IP
* Pure IP (Netware)
* NetBEUI (If not is there still any support for llc2?)
* TCP/IP (Does it support ipv6 fully, I can't find much updated info
here?)
Configuration Protocols
* SNMP (Need atleast version 1.0 supporterted and does it have TRAP
support?)
* SLP (Does it have Directory Agent Support?)
Access/Application Protocols
* AFP (Linux is supposed to have 2.0 support, but I need 2.2 support).
* SMB (I need support for SMB over TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX/SPX)
* NFS (Does it have Locking Mechanism (NLM)?)
* NetWare (Need support for up to v5.0).
File Systems
* ISO9660 (Rock Ridge, Joliet extensions and High Sierra?)
* UDF
If anyone knows where i can find info on these subjects that is
also very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all your help, and please cc to the mailaddy

Subject: quoted-printable & 8bit, again...
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 09:45:17 GMT
Hello,
thanks for everyone's tips. I'm sorry to not post this as a follow-on to
my original post. I don't have News-Access at the moment. Also excuse my
cross-posting, but it's urgent.
I need to have a program that converts quoted-printable characters in a
mail file to their original 8bit characters.
I have checked mimencode and emil, but I could not work out a solution
for my problem. The main problem with emil was, that things
unnecessarily got converted. Like if someone wrote "20+3=23" in the body
of a mail, it converted the "=23" part into some character.
What I need to have happen is that I pipe a standard mail file
(/var/spool/mail/whoever or so) including all of the header, into a
program, which then converts anything necessary from quoted-printable
into the corresponding 8bit characters.
Therefore, from something like the following in a mail-file:
-----_=_NextPart_000_01BEB238.58D6B4B2
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Hallo, ich bin h=E4sslich.
I want to see on stdout:
-----_=_NextPart_000_01BEB238.58D6B4B2
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Hallo, ich bin h�sslich.
Similar to what sendmail does when adding the following line to the
header of a message:
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by
mailbox.domain.com id JAA05919
I have tried to use emil, as people suggested, but using the following
options, I got no correct result: (also tried other options)
cat mailfile | emil -S Quoted-printable > ./outfile
Also, I could not find any options that sendmail could do the job with.
Suggestions?
I'd strongly appreciate your help in form of a mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance for your help!

While I do not care to much about the AS/400 drivel that started the thread

I have to defend BMW here. When you order a new one, you have the option
to replace the ashtray(s) with some additional storage compartmen(s). Same
price for both versions. Actually, when I ordered my last BMW the process
was
reversed - you had to order the ashtray ... BMW is not forcing you to buy an
ashtray - all your choice, just study the options list :-)

You need to boot into single user mode, so no daemons are running, and then
you can mount or unmount it.

It is possible to allow kppp to reconfigure the hostname but you
must make shure that other X-programs are allowed to connect to
your X-Server. This cat be done by putting a line 'xhost +LOCAL:'
into your X startup script.

Bare with me, Ive only used solaris a couple times, then not
extensively. Are you asking if there is a way to make it so only certain
users can su to root? I think /etc/login is similar to what your
speaking of (/etc/default/login), but its been a while. Again Im still
not really clear what your asking though ...

I think what you seek is some sort of interpreter in the kernel. You could
of course develop another executable format like the elf and a.out modules.
I believe that also shell scripts do have such a module which just executes
the first line with the file as argument (You now: #!/usr/bin/bash and
such). You could place an interpreter similar to perl in the kernel, which
first compiles, i.e. checks if code is safe, and then executes with a high
priority. (you are kernel, you state the initial priority level)
Now crossing the kernel/userland barrier will not be effective if the code
is bound to a process. Code which isn't bound to any process is only run on
demand of a certain process. So if you want performance (and stay within the
OS) the only thing to do is to increase your priority level.
Frank
PS: you can make use of the kernel debugger.

I have bought SuSE 6.1 (german version for DM 98,-) and Staroffice 5.0
