Hi. Having Problem with Netscape Comunicator 4.51. Everytime
when I start netscape
Communicator, Netscape always hang for about 2 to 5 min.But
when I use Netscape
Navigator there is no such problem. I have tried updating to
version 4.61 but the same
problem occur.
Any idea on solving this problem?
By the way I am accessing the internet through proxy.

Yeah. Magic-SysRq rocks. I have had several instances where my X-server
screws up, and I was able to alt-sysrq-s,u,b - no problems on reboot. A

You need to unset the INPUTRC environment variable
first, which RH6 has added in /etc/profile. It
points to the file /etc/inputrc, which sets up the
keyboard for emacs-style editing.
Either remove the offending line in /etc/profile,
or add "unset INPUTRC; set -o vi" in your
~/.bash_profile.

In RedHat 6, they decided to set the variable
INPUTRC to /etc/inputrc in /etc/profile. This
sets keycodes for emacs-style editing. Either
comment/delete this line in /etc/profile and add
"set -o vi" to change this for all users, or you
can override this in individual users'
.bash_profile files by adding
"unset INPUTRC; set -o vi".

Sure. It's an option to the mount command, which is done on a
file system basis, which roughly corresponds to a partition basis. You
should even be able to include the option in /etc/fstab so things get
mounted that way automatically. Note that file IO will probably be
more sluggish. Database companies often use sync operations as the default
for the sake of safety, but users can turn off the sync if they prefer
greater speed.
DISCLAIMER: I don't use the sync option myself.

I've played around with FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but am not really

Subject: 'time' command doesn't display memory usage
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 05:13:46 GMT
I finally figured out how to change the format of the time command, but
I've run into an even bigger problem now.
For some reason, the memory usage and i/o operations are always listed
as 0. A sample output is:
0.480u 1.190s 0:06.63 25.1% 0+0k 0+0io 92pf+0w
No matter which commands I run (memory intensive or i/o intensive), both
the mem stats and i/o stats always remain at 0.
Is there some setting in the kernel that has to be activated for this?
I do have the /proc system being used....
Or is the 'time' command simply not compatible on Linux systems?
Thanks!

There's a note on the yamaha web site "troubleshooting 4416" , it
indicates that some software has trouble fixating a disk. It
indicates that you can go back and close the disk, and it should be
good.
(I just got one of those drives, but I haven't had a chance to
burn more than a couple of disks--did so at 4x, controller is a
aha152x (on a Soundblaster card... the aha152x is not the greatest
SCSI controller in the world, but I figured it could handle the job
if IDE interfaces can.)

Not really. EZ-Drive must load before BIOS looks at the hard drive,
if you are going to use BIOS to load the OS via LILO.
On a system with EZ-Drive installed, a raw boot floppy *should* be reliable.
That is one that was made by copying a bzImage file to a raw diskette.
The BIOS (innocent of EZ-Drive) will launch the kernel, whose IDE driver
will detect the EZ-Drive signature when it opens /dev/hda looking for the
partition table. The Linux kernel (since 1.3.123 or so, circa 1995?...)
will do the right thing.
But a LILO boot diskette will not work because *LILO* does not know
about EZ-Drive and will pass a wrong geometry structure to the kernel.
Some Linux distributions use Lilo on the boot diskette they make at
install time. This is yet another reason not to let your
Linux distribution try to configure Lilo or make a boot diskette if you
can help it. If you have this problem (dependence on EZ-Drive)
you should use a rescue disk to boot your system until you can compile
your own bzImage file.

Hmm, the only reason I can think of for a Linux boot diskette to require
EZ-Drive loaded is if it's going to try to use LILO to remap the drive
or swap hda with hdb.
>and then allows the boot sequence to be interrupted choose an

That's a strange scenario. The reason Linux can see the PT on an EZ-Drive
infected hard drive is that Linux ignores the geometry it was passed by
LILO if it sees an EZ-Drive signature on /dev/hda. Instead, it reads the
IDE registers on the drive for the geometry (where it also finds the
manufacturer's banner) and skips the (64?) EZ-Drive sectors to find the
partiton table. So something is happening in your system to prevent that
because you let EZ-Drive *run*. Perhaps your motherboard BIOS is set
up to boot C and then A. Try switching it to boot A: first, and it
should boot the diskette before EZ-Drive gets a chance to mess things
up.
This is one reason that in the LILO mini-HOWTO I advised that you not
use EZ-Drive, and instead confine the Microsoft product to the first
1023 cylinders. The Microsoft product requires EZ-Drive. Linux,
as far as I know, doesn't, no matter how big your drive is.
If that's wrong, please let me know so the next LILO mini-HOWTO will
be accurate.

Dear friends,
Being an owner of ATI Rage 128 I had to configure RedHat 6.0 with the FBDev.
It works fine for me and all is OK. My problem is how to make a proper
startup (boot) floppy disk for such a configuration. This one that was
prepared during the instalation (or afterwards using 'makebootdisk' command)
lets me into Linux (console) but with no FBDev I can not start X. Also using
this disk I have "normal" resolution, not 1024. What have I to do? What
changes on startup disk to make it boot Linux with FBDev? Will you help me?
Thank you very much in advance

They use a web-based installer which apparently fails to install,

Steve said his hard drives are SCSI. Most BIOSes will try to boot

Install kernel source and make a kernel and bootimage. Use RPM or just go
cd /usr/src
# (pick a nearby mirror)
lynx -source http://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.10.tar.gz >
linux-2.2.10.tar.gz

mv linux linux-2.2.10
ln -s linux-2.2.10 linux
cd linux
make mrproper
# (be sure to set module versions info on)
make xconfig
make dep && make clean && make modules && make bzImage && make modules_install
Now use fdisk or cfdisk to partition your LS120 diskette.
Then make a file system and copy the bootimage there.
badblocks /dev/hda1 12000 | tee /tmp/bad
mke2fs -m0 -l /tmp/bad /dev/hda1 12000
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/bz2.2.10
And then set up LILO. It's not that hard. Put the conf file
on the LS120 so you don't lose it.

Just went there and everything came up and worked. Seemed to be very
memory intensive (was real slow) though. Which brings a question, how
much RAM do you have and how much swap? Also another thing I have
noticed that can make NS crash sometimes is not having enough space on
the partition that NS is installed on. Which libc5 do you have? I used
to have a lot of problems with NS crashing a lot but since I've gotten
4.61 I can't remember it crashing ever.
