I say ANY redistribution is too much. And don't ask me about my Economics
degree. I don't have one, and it's not relevant anyway.

Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 08:53:29 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all, I am a linux newbie. I tried to install Red Hat 6.0 but was
facing problem.
I have 2 HDDs: FB ST2.1(as Pri Master), FB CR8.4(as Sec Master).
I partitioned the HDDs as follow, using Windows FDISK:
1. FB ST2.1: Pri DOS - C: 1512MB, FAT16, active, (Win98)
Ext DOS - E: 502MB, FAT16, (used)
2. FB CR8.4: Pri DOS - D: 1937MB, FAT16, (used)
Ext DOS - F: 2047MB, FAT16, (unused)
- G: 1985MB, FAT16, (unused)
- 2078MB, (unallocated)
I tried installed Red Hat 6.0 from CD-ROM, but when come to
partitioning, FDISK warned me that my 2nd drive's cylinder size is
>1024 (IIRC 1027). I was not sure what to do, so I just go back and
select Disk Druid instead of FDISK. Then I was able to add 2 Linux
Native partitions(1Gb each) from my hdc (the 2nd drive). Then I wish
to add Linux Swap but error msg said "No free primary" (there are 79MB
left actually).
Also, I have no idea about some options in Disk Druid:
1. Mount point?
2. Drop to fill disk?
3. Allowable HDD? (there have hda and hdc)
What are those options for and what should I enter?
More doubts:
1. Will it be harmful if I Ctrl+Alt+Del at any point in Linux?
2. Should I FDISK the HDD 100% using Windows FDISK before installing
Linux?
3. Will Linux installation auto detect all my hardwares, especially
CD-ROM, soundcard, mouse, k/b, and modem? If not, how do I install it
into Linux system?
4. How to install software downloaded into Linux?
5. If anyone have installed Red Hat 6.0 before, can you please guide
me the installation step-by-step, as I am totally Linux idiot.
TIA

Why do this, when you can add the proper flag to tar?
the version of tar that Slackware, from 3.6 up to 4.0 uses (now
implimented in GNU tar), has the -y flag, which you can pass to tar, to
filter through bzip2, to uncompress it on the fly, just as you would
with -z for gzip and -Z for compress. i.e.:
tar -yzvf <filename>.tar.bz2
This should also help you save on disk space. The only setback
with it, is the time it takes for unpacking the file. bzip2 is wonderful
for saving disk space, compared to gzip, but takes longer to compress.
small price to pay, but it works well.

Strange thing. My kernel size is 419154 bytes (Kernel 2.2.10). There are very

Hi, all
How can I prevent Red hat boot to X window? while my
videocard configuration is wrong, Now my monitor flashs
when I start Linux, I can see nothing.I think I should
run Xconfigurator again.
And I have a Creative TNT with 16M Ram. I could boot to
KDE at first, but only with 640*480 16c. After running
Xconfigurator several times, KDE doesn't start anymore.
What should I do to config it? I have selected "Riva TNT"
and customed monitor myself. should I select videocard
with 4M ram, I have seen such configuation somewhere.

void main() evokes undefined behavior, meaning that the compiler is free
to do whatever it wants, e.g. reboot your system or make demons fly out
of your nose. The only correct return type for main() is int.

Why stderr? And because main() returns int, return 0;

It doesn't matter what you think it should be. The compiler chose to
align it that way, so that's how it is. There might be some #pragma or
command line switch to turn of padding, but that's very likely to
decrease performance. If your program relies on a specific size for
structs, you are probably doing something wrong.

Seems that you have not answered "y" or "m" for nfs server support.
Be reminded, the make config script will skip "nfs server support" if you
answer "n" with Experimental kernel at the very beginning.

Subject: Boot Up severe error
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 11:26:43 GMT
I have RedHat 5.2 which I installed from CD. It seemed to install fine but
when it restarted where you should get the LILO boot up manager, it spurted
out an endless string of 010101010101010101 which filled the screen and just
keeps going. The only way to get out of it is to restart the computer and
use the bootdisk which loads up into LILO fine. I then just press enter and
it says loading linux.......
while accessing the disk. Everything then works fine.
i am quite new to linux so could someone tell me what files i need to copy
from the floppy to the HDD so it will use the files from the floppy to boot
normally.
Cheers,
Tony

set the $TERM to something that actually works (presumably
his $TERM is something like 'network' rather than 'vt100').

My solutions:
1. copying disks 1:1
cp /dev/hda? /dev/hdb?
use bootdisk with lilo changeroot option to make bootable
downs: partition must have same size, same mapping except cylinder
size.
2. cp -a / /newmount
also use bootdisk with lilo
No restrictions that i am aware of.
BTW: your swap partition might be too big.
Rather create 2 128 MB partitions. Same goes for your linux
partition.
File system checks are quite slow at this size.

It most certainly does. If I create a file with a specific data structure,
an other program can not read this file correctly.
And exactly that is the problem.
Creating a file with the above data structure in DOS and reading it in Linux
fails because of this.
I just want to know why it does it and what the system behind this is.
So i can find a solution.

I don't think you really lose and disk space by piping bunzip2/bzip2
output to tar.
I could not remember flag for tar as I don't often deal with bzip/bzip2
except when I re-compile my kernel and I don't use tar for that<g>.
