The mklost+found(8) man page has the following interesting paragraph:
: mklost+found pre-allocates disk blocks to the lost+found
: directory so that when e2fsck(8) is being run to recover a
: filesystem, it does not need to allocate blocks in the
: filesystem to store a large number of unlinked files.
: This ensures that e2fsck will not have to allocate data
: blocks in the filesystem during recovery.

Didn't Microsft played an important part in the development and deployment
of DHCP? I think I have to go back to look up the references, but I seemed
to recall Microsoft and others in the industry moved away from bootp
and developed DHCP to the wya it is today.

My point was that you cannot buy a PC from IBM that has
no operating system installed on it. You cannot even order
a PC from them that has only OS/2 installed on it. They
simply will not sell you one without Windows. If you ask
for one without Windows, they will say "no."
They will install a version of Windows on every PC they
sell. They HAVE to, even though they have their own
operating systems (note the plural).

But it took a while for Netscape to find out about the windows "default
browser" setting as IE would be installed as the "default browser"; forgot
what it was, but had an app that just started the unused IE even when the
Netscape was set as the "default browser". So for a time, Netscape was
excluded....

What are the other devices? Usually a problem like this indicates flaky
hardware. Windows, being flaky to begin with, such hardware problems
aren't noticed. Try booting with different devices disconnected to see if
it happens with a particular device. Maybe the cable itself is bad.

Good list. Now pick what you think is the best of the above. Hint: I'm going
to show you how any of the above are nothing but a collection of already
known ideas integrated together in a fashion that makes them very appealing.
Then I'll point out the failings of the technology you've selected, and show
how crappy it can be made to look when scrutinized with perfect hindsight.
But this should be familiar to you, since this is the tact most often taken
by microsoft's critics.
Hopefully it will prove the point that nobody really is doing **any**
ground-up innovation. Instead, it is an endless list of subtle tweaks and at
some point one of them grabs hold (for whatever reason).

And they are hardly alone in doing this (try buying a Mac without MacOS).
So what ? It's not IBM's responsibility to pander to every section of the
market. If IBM decides they want to sell "Windows PCs" why should they be
forced to spend time and money supporting and selling "Non-Windows PCs" when
multitudes of other sellers already do ?

Hi,
For some reasons, I can't use VGA monitor as console, I tried to setup
a dumb terminal in my notebook as console, I failed. All messages
displayed in monitor rather than dumb terminal.
I've done.
1) got a null modem serial cable /w 2 & 3 pin twisted.
2) connect COM1 of my notebook to COM2 of Linux box
3) edit lilo.conf add
serial=1,9600n8
image= ..
append="console=ttyS1,9600"
4) check /dev/console & /dev/tty0
both perm = 622, c, console is 5,1 tty0 is 4,0 that should be okay.
5) because I'm using Mandrake 7.0 the kernel is 2.2.14 so no
recompilation is required. I didn't recompile it.
I wonder if I've missed anything.
Thanks for your expertise in advance.

I guess for you comment applies below that most users don't know the
difference and reboot when told to.
It does seem that problems usually do occur if I don't heed the advice to
reboot in my experience.

That is an improvement.

I feel the past and current crop of Linux users are smart enough to solve
the problem short of rebooting.
You are right in the future they might reboot due to their experience with
troubleshooting under Windows.
Hopeful the word will get out that Linux is modular unlike Windows and
things can be restarted and contained well.

That would require alot of work and software to do tell I think.
And still I think it only helps, it doesn't solve the problem.
A good program to demonstrate this is Visual Basic, but I'm sure other
software would act this way as well.
With VB6, megabytes of stuff is added to the registry. In fact the VB
installer even resizes the maximum
registry size to allow that much information to be added.
As the registry grows, speed slows. I've heard of the Start Menu taking 20
seconds to load on a PII system
after installing Visual Basic.
Nothing short of not installing software will help due to the design of
Windows and Windows software, and the resulting
interaction. Note: this does not occur really in Linux.

It happens more than seldom for me.
Not alot, but not seldom.
If I install apps into NT, it's worse.
If I use NT alot, it's worse.
I believe it has been shown in both Linux and NT (W2K maybe too) that a
program
can be written to hang a system easily.

They sort of sold their soul on that one trading of compatibility.
It will be interesting if File Protection in W2K can force windows
developers to adopt good coding practices like not changing the
underlying OS.
Doing that should be offlimits to most programs.
Assuming that a reboot after installing new software is insane.
Windows 2000 has improved things.
Unfortunately there are some nasties associated with it I believe are quite
painful.
I feel Microsoft has finally hit the limit where they can't produce what I
consider to be a better OS on the whole.
New features when I don't want them (and bugs for free), incompatibilities,
etc.
Linux isn't ready as a desktop to me either.
I do think Linux/RedHat has potiental so I'm willing to wait a few versions
for it to improve.
Hopeful in the mean time more compaies will come around like Quicken, Intuit
and support Linux.
