Does anyone know of a linux tool that can de-interlace
previously recorded images?
When capturing images from video source,
every odd lines is a bit out of place,and would like to put it back.

Hi,
I noticed that there is already a ftp service on my machine. If I use
proftpd, how do I set the active ftp daemon?
Thanks,

Hi,
I would like to know how I customize( configure & re-compile ) my Kernel
2.2.14 for RH Linux V6.2 ??
1) do I need to configure the Kernel by using "/usr/src/linux/make
menuconfig" when I use
two PIII CPUs, since I found two PIII CPUs with X windows without
compilation ??
2) If yes, do I need to run " make dep; make clean; make; make modules;
make modules_install" ??
( since I found the steps are different when I read different books,
and I could not find any V6.1 or V6.2 )
3) Do I need to do: such as
a. cp /usr/src/linux-2.x.x/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz-2.x.x
b. cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.14/System.map /boot/System.map-2.x.x
c. ln -s /boot/System.map-2.x.x /boot/System.map
d. in lilo: linux=/boot/vmlinuz-2.x.x.
e. ........
I just want to know if I need to configure & re-compile the Kernel ( not the
case : kernel upgrading ) ??
Thank you for your help

If you have created a boot flop, just insert it, boot linux with it, and run
lilo. Then you have lilo back. If you did not creat a boot flop, you can
probably use your redhat intall flop as rescue disk. Find out in your redhat
documentation.
The problem with my wive who don't want to have anything to do with Linux, I
solved by letting LILO boot Windows after 5 seconds without any action from
the user. Make windows your first entry in /etc/lilo.conf, and make the
timeout 50 (tenth of a second).

Subject: XFree 4.0 install problems
Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2000 19:06:40 +0800
This is probably quite simple for someone who knows their way around a
Linux system.
I'm trying to install the Xfree86 4.0 package. The first step is to
download a file called Xinstall.sh and run it with a -check option.
When I issue:
sh Xinstall.sh -check
I get (roughly):
: Command not found
: Command not found
: Command not found
: Command not found
'install.sh: Unexpected token after 'Echo'
'install.sh: invalid symbol 'Echo()' on line 118
Any guesses as to what I'm missing or have set up wrong?
The system is RedHat 6,1 with the bash shell installed and a 2.2.14
kernal.

Depends on whether or not you like the defaults. It'll run faster if
you configure it for your system. The default configurations tend to
be set for the lowest common denominator and include almost
everything.
>2) If yes, do I need to run " make dep; make clean; make; make modules;

Instead of 'make' use 'make bzImage'. This will produce a much
compressed kernal in the file /arch/i386/boot/bzImage. This is the
one you need to copy into your /boot directory and configure lilio to
point to. I found the Redhat documentation accurate appart from the
need to use bzImage. Also make sure you have the bin86 (maybe now
dev86) package installed or your kernal build will fail.
>3) Do I need to do: such as

Yes. Rerunning lilio is essential as it moves your new kernal image
into wherever lilio keeps the kernals it will let you boot with.

If you want to upgrade, I suggest you download the 2.2.14 source. The
Redhat 2.2.12 kernal doesn't seem to want to accept patches properly
(but I may have been doing something wrong).

Print line 118 and we might be able to tell you! (and you might be able
to tell yourself).
According to this output you are executing install.sh, not Xinstall.sh.

Likely it's a bash2 problem. Use bash1 and see if it does any better.

Subject: Mouse wont work in xfree86
Date: 5 Apr 2000 11:57:46 GMT
It seems that Protocoll "Auto" doesn't work at all. It didn't recognize
three different mice I tried (PS/2 OEM, PS/2 Logitec and seriell Logitec).
It will work when specifing the protocoll (i.e. Protocoll "PS/2" for
exapmle).
Unfortunately, my PS/2 Logitec is unusable, because the mouse pointer
races around the screen. The same mouse movement distance (first moved
carefully, then normally) results in different mouse movements on the
screen.
The gpm repeater doesn't work at all.
Anyone with similar problems?

Subject: Problem setting up printer with Linux
Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 13:16:32 +0100
Hi,
I've recently installed RedHat 6.1 onto my PC and I'm having a problem with
it. Probably because I'm new to running Linux (although I have been using it
for a while, just never setting it up).
Basically, it's installed and running fine, but I can't use the printer.
Running the control-panel tool reports that it can't find a printer connected
to any port.
It's a local printer (an HP Deskjet), connected to the PCs only parallel
port. When I run the test 'print directly to port' it reports that the device
can't be located.
File lp0 and lp1 do exist in /dev.
Any ideas anyone?
Oh, BTW, the printer does work fine under MS operating systems, but I'm
trying to escape them ;)

Subject: booting from dos too - Help
Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2000 12:13:46 GMT
I am RHL beginner.
I have two HDDs, hda(master) and hdb(slave).
The slave hdd has been formated under dos and I wish to run Turbo C on
it. The master hdd has RHL 6.1 and I wish to use it for C and Perl
programming too. My problem is that at the start I need two options: 1.
RHL and 2. DOS. I made the changes in lilo.conf but at the boot when I
choose the DOS appears this message:
" Non-Sysem disk or disk error.
Replace and ..."
Only the dos hdd works fine, without any errors.
The lilo.conf is listed below:
boot = dev/hda
timeout = 100
prompt
vga = normal
read-only
map = /boot/map
install = /boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label = linuz
root = /dev/hda2
other = dev/hdb1
label = dos
Can somebody help me to can choose linux or dos ?
The configuration is 486 DX4 at 100 MHz, 8 MB RAM and two 512 MB HDDs.
The dos hdd has DOS 6.22 and onlu one partition.

I recently updated from redhat 6.1 to redhat 6.2. I did a completely fresh

these customizations were some procmail configurations.
With redhat 6.2 I now get the following errors (in roots mailbox) when a

You could try using ext2resize which is I believe the partition magic tool.
I just saw it yesterday at

No warranty, so do a backup before you do anything.

Yup, the problem is that X can't find any suitable screen depths and sizes for
your current configuration. Resolution is easy... Run xf86config as root user
and input your correct settings for video card and monitor. After that run
startx and you should be in business.
