Subject: Q: Copying filesystem to CD and then running from CD?
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 15:20:25 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
Is there a way to copy most of my filesystem to a CD (CD-R,CD-RW etc) and
then booting and running from the CD?
e.g.
Harddisk holds
/var
/tmp
swap
CD holds:
/bin
/sbin
/lib
/usr
/boot
/etc
/home
/skeleton/var
So in event something nasty happens I can just reboot. e.g. hacker attack,
harddisk failure. And if necessary, create a new CD with the updates and
patches.
How should /dev and /proc be handled?
If I get enough RAM, then performance should be fine as most stuff will be
cached right? This would be good for a firewall system right?
Trouble is 600+MB doesn't seem like much nowadays ;). A bit of a squeeze..
Thanks,
Link.

I was trying to be generous. ;)
In my experience, clear case requires a full-time administrator
to keep it running. For a project with a handful of people, I
saw no benefit gained for the additional expense.
RCS/CVS just works. You don't have to constantly fix/upgrade
it.

I'd have to agree. My experience with Clear Case wasn't
positive. While I don't recall loosing data the way we did
with MS VSS, the Clear Case server was constantly up and down,
and there were a lot of occasions where developers couldn't get
at things they needed.
I've used RCS and CVS for 10+ years and never had a single
problem -- though it's always been on small progjects (just a
few people at most working on a particular set of source code).
Perhaps there are advantages in using Clear Case for very large
projects. Perhaps.
I've noticed that the _really_ large (in terms of people)
development projects like gcc, gdb, etc. all use CVS.

Quick question, I have an older laptop IBM 486/66 I believe, 16MB Memory,

Anyway which distro has the smallest foot print which would still make this

Hi,
You can switch between 6 virtual consoles by pressing <Alt-F1...F6> or
<Alt-Ctrl-F1...F6>.
If you do not want 6 consoles, you can edit /etc/inittab. Look at the
lines like "1:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1" and look at the manpage
for inittab for details.

This is wierd. I just spent 20 minutes with HP tech support about just
this. The guy emailed me two documents with PCL specs. Basically, I
think I will need to write my own filter. (By the way, this is for SCO
OSR5, not Linux.)
Want to collaborate on this one? I wouldn't mind getting this to work

Technically, no. Actually, there is not really one thing known just as
'UNIX'. Technically a proper UNIX flavor needs to be derived from the
original Bell Labs code. At this point this means Sys 5 R4 or BSD
derived systems. This includes (correct me if I am wrong!): SunOS,
Solaris, *BSD, Ultrix, OSF/DEC UNIX/True 64 UNIX, Irix, AIX, AUX,
HP-UX, and SCO (I probably left out some of the more obscure variants,
sorry).
Linux is a complete from the ground up re-write of an UNIX-like
operating system. It uses the same basic principles of operation, the
same kind of kernel organization, the same basic API and system service
calls, etc. But since it does not have any code from Bell Labs, it
can't be called UNIX. Sort of like you can call a Cannon photo copier
a 'copy machine', but you can't call it a Zerox machine, although many
people will talk about 'Zerox copies' that were made with something
other than a machine made by Zerox, Corp. Nobody is really confused in
an informal office environment, but Zerox's lawyers will be on your
case if you take this sort of thing into a more 'formal' environment,
just like Sony will be on your case if you refer to your Panasonic
personal cassette player as a 'Walkman'. Similar for Linux. In an
'informal' sense, Linux is effectively just another flavor of UNIX, but
if you are selling a product lawyers from AT&T (or Lucent?) will be all
over you if you refer to Linux as UNIX. UNIX is a *trademark* of Bell
Labs/AT&T/Lucent.

Most (all?) linux distributions include sendmail, which is the defacto standard
SMTP server for UNIX and UNIX-like O/Ss, including Linux. Sendmail is
freeware. Look for RPM's named sendmail-*.rpm in your RPMS directory if
you have RedHat or Mandrake Linux.
RedHat linux comes with an RPM named imap-???.rpm. This RPM includes
both an IMAP and POP daemon. I believe most (all?) linux distributions
include this package. If you have RedHat or Mandrake Linux, look for
imap-*.rpm in your RPMS directory.

I did an improper shutdown as a result of which my monitor is

mysteriously" and during this time the monitor blinks.
Rather than figure out which file was corrupted,
I would like to reinstall the kernel (already reinstalled XFree
but the problem was not resolved). Is reinstalling the kernel
merely a matter of giving the command:
"rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs kernel*rpm"
or is there more to it?

Why do you think reinstalling the kernel will solve anything? Try
looking for stray pid-files from gdm in /var/run and remove them, or if
you find lock files somewhere that shouldn't be there (see the
documentation, I guess). Don't you get any other error messages in any
of the log files in /var/log?
Did you check the disk?

The "cd" command only effects the shell that's running the
script. It does not effect the parent shell (the one from
which you ran the script). It is not possible to modify the
environment of a parent process.
What you probably want to do is define a shell function in your
.bash_env file:
function doxconfig
{
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig
}
The commands inside the function will execute in the context of
the shell from which the function name is invoked. Thus when
the function exits, you are in /usr/src/linux

Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 17:41:48 +0200
apologizes for the lengh of this message but circonstances are important
to understand the final question...
and apologize for my english
my system :
slackware 7.0
my modem is a cable modem : motorola with ethernet connection
my provider : cybercable ( aka "french disaster", aka "satan" )
my dhcpd daemon : 2.0
dhcp client : 1.3.18-pl1.diff.gz
in the night of 3-4 mars I go out and when I return in my home I see the
upload led who works without internet network applications launched
In France we paid for upload traffic ( 50 cents / mo ) and we have a
html page to see our consommation ; In 8 hours I have 500 mo in upload
traffic ;
I have thought that someone had cracking my firewall and I have had the
stupid idea not to log in my firewall script ...
But after this error I have modify my firewall script and I shutdown
every night my cable modem ...
Few days after , and irregularly , BUT NOT ALL DAYS , just after I start
my modem ( I precise that my linux station is always started, just the
modem is up or down ) , my upload led works again and again and the only
thing to stop it is the shutdown of my linux station ( or kill dhcpd
daemon )
I have remarked with a tcpdump that the cause of all traffic is dhcp
traffic !!!
millions of request go out my home , it's an eternal process
I use slackware since two months without problems before that ; I know
there was a problem with particular versions of pump under redhat or
mandrake who created an irregular but all days traffic and not eternaly
contrary to my problem ;
Like these problemes are not daily : is the client or is the server who
is the responsible ? or both ?
how to find the solution to this strange and expansive problem ( 250 $
min ...)?
another question : since I have these problem I thought that dhcp daemon
was used by linux as dhcp server for my internal network if I have as
dhcp client ...but there are others packages for dhcp client
(1.3.18-pl1.diff.gz); why kill dhcpd daemon resolve my problem when
upload is mad even though it's the client who is respnsible normaly ?

Hi Hal, I have Promise Ultra66 with an IBM 22 gig udma drive.
It works well enough but naturally I'm trying to get it to
use dma, so as an experiment I tried installing the module
from Promise with the "udma=1" parameter and on the module
install it reports "pio" for all the modes. Bonnie shows
a peak in any catagory of 6.7x MB/Sec, so this leads me to
believe I'm not getting everything out of my hw. Anyplace
I can find tips to get this into udma mode? I'm using
TurboLinux Workstation 4.0 and a 2.2.12-8 kernel.

Run the script with the "source" command, otherwise you will get a new
shell (which will do the 'cd' and the 'make') and all your state info
will be "saved" and "restored" when that new shell exits.

There is an ide patch with UDMA66 support at kernel mirrors under
people/hedrick. Wouldn't know specifically whether this will help with
this controller or not.

Slackware can be the "lightest" distribution out there; just install the
minimal set of packages at first and add what you need later. SuSE also
allows you to customize the install to a great degree, but it's less
lightweight than Slack. Do NOT try to run Netscape on that thing; it'll
run like a bloated pig with constipation. HTH,
