You could move some of the stuff under /usr somewhere else,
then symlink to it. /usr/doc might be a good first choice. It
uses 144MB on my RH6 system. Doing this with /usr/doc
probably won't break anything. Check that the dir doesn't
have relative symlinks that point outside the subdir to be moved:
cd /usr; find <subdir> -type l | xargs ls -l
And use 'cp -a' to copy the file to preserve permissions,
times, etc. I've done something like this when I added
a disk and moved /usr/local to that disk on a RH5.1
system, and it seemed to work OK. No promises though.
As far as changing the size of partitions, I don't know
if disk druid will do this safely. There is an app
called "ext2resize" that supposedly will allow you
to non-destructively resize partitions. I've never
used it, but you can find the home page by going to
www.freshmeat.org and searching for "ext2resize".
Good luck.

- Pathetic Word (SIAG) may have a TCL/Curses interface.

- Angoss Smartware
- Look at Cliq; it *may* have a text UI
- There is rumor of a text mode version of WordPerfect; this would be
a Very Good Thing, if true. As far as I can tell, it's not.
I'm not sure that you'll consider any of them "good;" there has not
been a lot of effort going into such stuff.
The other suggestion would be for the users to use a text editor to
edit some markup language such as TeX, LaTeX, nroff, Lout, or SGML.

No. It's just plain idiotic. Why force them to link in the math library
when doing math. Shall we also do -ls for string operations and -li for
integer operations? It's pointless and causes *literally* hundreds of
messages in news:comp.lang.c alone (a deja news search turned up 800).
Since objects not referenced don't get crammed into the binary anyway, where
is the benefit to forcing people to add -lm if they use a math function?

Subject: Disk mirroring with PowerQuest Drive Image Pro
Date: 28 Jul 1999 00:47:05 GMT
Has anyone tried using Powerquest Drive Image Pro. I don't want the
extra load of a IDE RAID controller in my machine and prefer to make my
"backups" when necessary. The thing that has me concerned is that I'd
like to be able to use a removable rack mount for the HDD and I'm a bit
confused on how they get around drive letter mapping.
Since primary partitions are assigned drive letters first and a primary
partition will be needed on the backup drive for c:\dos then that's
going to make OS/2 unbootable as it 's drive letter will change when the
second disk is online or does it? I've used ext2 linux drivers under
OS/2 and you can control drive letter mapping that way but I want to be
sure. And since I have several partitions if the first partition on the
second drive is logical then it's useless as a backup because I'd have
to delete all the higher partitions and make the first one a primary I
think.
Now I have deleted and partition lower on the drive list that was an
ext2 partition and reformatted it as FAT but I'm not sure you can do
that and change a logical to a primary partition???
And if I'm not mistaken it mirrors both FAT and HPFS. Linmux ext2 I'm
not so sure about.
So...any help?

Continually 'sync' it.
As far as hardware is concerned, it's probably not the best

about power dips where it blinks off then back on. Maybe you

Remove 'fsck' from startup scripts. fsck isn't mandatory.
Also 'man fsck', as there are options to fsck only when superblock

Actually, Linux/UNIX have had versioned shared libraries longer than
DLLs, at least when it comes to supporting multiple versions installed
at the same time. Much of the Windows "DLL Hell" simply doesn't exist
in UNIX, because a program that needs version 6 of a shared library can
simply have version 6 installed without touching versions 4 and 5. The
problem is that, UNIX or Windows, you can't have multiple versions of
the same DLL/shared library active in the same executable at the same
time, at least in general, because the internals of the libraries may
differ in incompatible ways ( you can pull it off in certain cases, but
you have to jump through a lot of hoops to insure that no instance of
a library ever touches resources created by or being managed by another
instance of the same library ).
UNIX/Linux shared libraries have problems, but they're a subset of the
problems that exist with Windows DLLs. And the new symbol versioning in
glibc2.1 solves even more problems with shared libraries.

Greetings.
Running LinuxPPC Release 4 (after giving up, for now, on a successful

Would like to upgrade Apache to 1.3.6. However, this is my scenario:
[root@xxxxxx chris]# rpm -U apache-1.3.6-0.ppc.rpm
failed dependencies:
/usr/local/bin/perl5 is needed by apache-1.3.6-0
Okay, so I did this:

And still get:
[root@xxxxxx chris]# rpm -U apache-1.3.6-0.ppc.rpm
failed dependencies:

Any suggestions?

Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 20:53:18 -0400
If you go into the fdisk's 'expert' mode (as you did) and set
the cylinders correctly, fdisk will let you create partitions
above cyl 1024. It will however still complain about overlapping
partitions even though they don't really overlap. I know it's
spooky, but you can normally ignore the complaints (especially
if Partition Magic 4.0 pronounces the partitioning good). And yes,
you'll have to set the cylinders each time you rerun fdisk.
The problems appear to have been resolved in RH 6.0. You may
feel better about having this version on your system. (For this
and other reasons, I do.)

Its interesting how peoples experiences differ !
In 1993 I installed first time Yggdrasil Linux 0.98 on a "Cyrix 486slc"
with Sound Blaster card and cd rom.
Everything worked, including X, which did crash a lot on my trident
videocard as I recall.
Alas Unix was way to different for my poor MsWindows bludgeoned brain and I
shelved it.
Then in 1997 I installed Redhat4.2, it went first time, but now the mobo was
a AMD 586, same cd and sound card.
Is it just me ? why has my Linux life been so easy, in comparason with
MsWindows, which I've had to fight every step of the way!
I've never used top of the range mobos or cpus, always purchasing the
cheapest stuff I could find.
If you dont want manual tinkering, perhaps VarResearch or the like is your
answer, with their range of pre-installed Linux boxes ?
