not really. a cd-rw random access for reading, but writing requires a
linear access. thus you can certainly mount and read from a cd
filesystem, you cannot write randomly. you must burn an image at one
shot.
it is possible to append to the tail of a disc, but a normal cd-rom
cannot read such a disc until you finalize by writing the index table.
once you have finalized the disc, you can no longer write to it.
the re-write feature is a global disc eraser rather than a way of
using it as a file system.
either use temporary storage on a hard drive to manipulate the data or
get a large floppy like ls-120 or one of those magnito-optical drives.

I'd use dump/restore. I've always used them with tape or other
backing storage, but I think you can pipe them together to do a

I don't know about sed/grep, but you can use vi (really vim, but use
vi to start):
Load using vi filename
then press :, a command line will appear
type '1,$ join' (without the quotes) then enter
press ZZ (note - case matters) to save and quit.
This will turn all the cr's into spaces. Forgive me if you already
somewhat know vi, but no-one I know does :-)
If vi puts ^M's at the end of every line, then you need to get rid of
the ^M's first (as unix/linux use CR and DOS uses CRLF - after
loading, type:
:1,$ s/^V^M//g
(the ^V is a Ctrl-V etc, the ^V won't appear but the ^M will, case
matters).

The command rgrep is designed to do this without having to pipe

"Web Folders" is Internet Explorer 5 speak for "WebDAV folders". There
is a module that plugs into the Apache web server (mod_dav) which, last
time I checked, will do what you want. The URL:
http://www.webdav.org
should get you started.
I played around with this a few months ago, and almost got it to work,
but IE started choking on something, then my boss starting wondering
what I was doing. It'll probably only take you a few hours to get
everything installed and set up, if you know Apache. If you don't, it
may take a little longer...

I've been using PostgreSQL for awhile now. I like it. It's apparently
not
the fastest, but it appears to be pretty full-functional, and I haven't
been able to break it yet. I do admit that I don't run a tremendous

Hi,
you get this kind of error if you try to write to a tape that has the
write-lock on. If the tape doesn't have the write-lock on, then check
the little button in the tape drive itself to see if it isn't stuck
in the lock position. Normally, the button sticks out a few millimetres.

hey,
I got SuSE Linux 6.1 and Windows 98 on my Laptop. I didn't use Linux for
a while and I forgot the root-password (I konw it's a shame ..)
I use LILO to chose which OS to boot. How can I make Linux accessable
again????????
I tryed to boot the kernel and to activate a shell and I thought I could
then change the password - but it didn't work !! I entered:
linux shell=/bin/bash

What can I do ???

Hi Noel. If you have Win98 it's worth the $50 to get
Partition Magic 5.0 or higher and save yourself the
aggravation. If there's a problem it will most likely
find it. Plus when you ask to resize a partition, it's
smart enough to change the size a bit so it lands on a
partition boundary that's compatible with NT, Win9x and
Linux(and maybe OS/2 too, I dunno')
If you resize c: with it and tell it to make another
partition, if you select 'yes' when it asks if you
are going to install an OS, and select Linux, it will
automatically suggest a swap partition in line with the
size of your ram. Then when you run the Linux install
it will see the ext2 and swap partition and know what
you want to do. Much easier!
Good luck.

/usr/local/lib is usually a good choice.
I believe the convention is also to check
for an environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to check for shared libs.

USB is no problem for someone not intimidated by a kernel compile.
I'm not sure if there is a USB driverset that you can just plug
into a 2.2 kernel yet (ala v4l & 2.0).

You are obviously confused. XFree86 is a server that gives a graphical
capability. There are others such as MetroX. Most of them are commercial
products and generally work a bit better than the free version and are
specialized toward different graphics capabilities, or laptops, etc.
KDE is a desktop that can run on top of a server. As is Gnome, IceWM, XFCE,
FVWM, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, and a whole host of others.

That depends on what you mean. Some (Enlightenment, AfterStep,
WindowMaker, Gnome, KDE, etc) have applets that will only work in the
desktop environment for which it was designed. Most have programs that
come with them that can work in other environments: Kppp can be used with
any desktop, as can most other KDE programs, Gnome programs, etc.
If you mean apps like Gimp and various soundplayers, many are desktop-
independent and can be run regardless of the desk enviroment.

Gnome is supposedly sort of like that. There are many desktops that will
use Gnome capability if it is available, and some of them give the option
to use it or not. That leaves the possiblity of using some of the Gnome
programs without having to have all of the overhead (KDE and Gnome are
resource hogs IMHO).
As for a complete standard, no way, no how, though some are trying hard to
do exactly that. This is Linux. Linux=Choice. I personally like some of the
KDE and Gnome apps. I personally hate both KDE and Gnome because they
eat up everything available on my computer. Therefore, I use IceWM
(sometimes XFCE) to keep overhead low and use the apps I like from the
others. I prefer (and will fight) to keep it that way.

Subject: Re: Duplicating hard disk
From: Minko Markov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 22:56:04 GMT
Hi,
I had to do it a while ago. Used tar, but be careful, some
of the options do not copy device files and pipes!
So, suppose that you have installed the new hardware,
done appropriate partition(s) on it, and formatted them.
Suppose your target partition is called /dev/hdb1 -
this is where you want to copy. Suppose that the
current one is /dev/hda4
Linux is still on the old partition only. You create
a new directory, say /NEW , then mount the target
partition to it
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1 /NEW
Then
cd /
tar cpf - . --exclude NEW --exclude proc | (cd /NEW; tar xpf -)
You don't want to copy the /proc directory. You want to avoid
recursive copying as well.
When it finishes, check the result
umount /NEW
fsck.ext2 -f /dev/hdb1
Then mount again and make the appropriate corrections
in the /etc/fstab of the _new_ partition. Then you
have to modify LILO as well.
Good luck.

I wonder. I always use the backticks. I've been under the impression
that most people do. I don't know.
In any case, command substitution is not a good idea for this problem. You
are, in effect, putting the names of many many files on the command line.
In practice there is a limit to the length of the command line which you
may easily exceed. Example: go to your root directory '/' and try
grep blahblah `find . -print`
You're just about guaranteed to get an error message about the argument
list being too long.
You are better off using -exec
find . -name "*.html" -exec grep blahblah {} \;
or xargs
find . -name "*.html" | xargs grep blahblah

There shouldn't be any problem with this, so long as *ALL* of the
partitions for the different distributions are distinct. That way
settings and installed programs in one don't affect the other.
The only other trick will be making sure LILO points to the right kernels
on the right partitions, but /etc/lilo.conf is a pretty straightforward
file. It ought to be trivial.
Let us know how it works out. One last thing that occured to me is that
LILO can pass variables to the kernel using the `append' statement.
Different kernels may need different variables and values for those variables.
Be careful about running different versions.
Later...
