Hi,
Thanks for the tip. But as a Linux newbie I am a little confused by all the
selections at this site. Is Linux /ppc the source code? My box has SusE
Linux 6.3, and the processor is AMD K-6 2. Which one should I get? The green
Linux/i386?. Preferably one that is easiest to install. Thanks.

First, do a scandisk. Maybe he'll find the error.
The use of Partition Magic is to resize, format, make partition, etc... Any
error gonna be corected without problem.

I think 16bit is the max for accelerated mode, otherwise it doesn't matter.

Clearly you don't understand the registry or how to use it. A centralized,
secure database accessible via a defined API that is guaranteed to be
available and contain current state and that is automatically protected via
backups. This also allows for remote management so the state of the
registry can be accessed and modified remotely by a central administrator if
necessary.

The possible causes that i can think of are as follows:
- daylight savings time
- hax0r annoying you (unlikely)
- bad hardware clock
- bad bios, resets yer clock every time you boot
- umm, some application changed the time for some reason
(maybe ntpdate or something?)

Yeah, but it can be a pain having to assign permissions for
various keys at various levels. Read-only on HKCR and HKLM -
OK. But Read-only on HKCU won't work - you need separate
permissions for different subkeys: read-only for
HKCU\RemoteAccess\Profiles but somewhat more liberal for
HKCU\Environment.
That leads to another flaw in WinNT: while the admin can
assign ACLs for keys, there's no way to assign ACLs for
values. Example: for environment variables, one permission
setting covers all of them. If some environmental variables
need to be read-write, there's no way to set others read-
only for specific users but not all users.
Granted marking environment variables read-only in unix
shells isn't bulletproof, but it's enough to prevent
unsophisticated users from screwing up key ones while
allowing them the ability to modify others.

too easy not enough memory overhead.
just hierarchical like the file system.
ive seen databases (old ones) that use the file system as a way to store
records.
not very secure.

I will take a wild guess. It is working correctly in the script,
but something you are doing to it after is squashing the two spaces
into 1 in the output from %_d. For example:
b=`date +"%b %_d"`
echo result is $b
Since the echo args aren't quoted, the two spaces in $b before the
date get squashed into one.

Why sda4 (4th partion on first SCSI disk) if it's ATAPI?
My ATAPI ZIP is /dev/hdd4 (hd=IDE disk, d=slave on second channel,
4=partition 4).

No, that's just the device file. The kernel is saying there
is no actual device there.

I use Apache Web Server and I have add virtual name host for setting up two
virtual web server.
However, the document root that I pointed to usually forbid me to access the
files inside.
The problem can be solve if I change the own and the group of the directory
to "nobody".
But then I can't use ftp to access that directory.
My question is :
1. Is it necessary to add the .htaccess to each directory that I use ?
2. Besides using "nobody" as owner and group, is there any way to let the
directory access by web user, say chmod ?
3. what means by "nobody" ?

Hi,
Today I was playing around with cron (system is Mandrake 7.0), trying
to automate as much as possible when all of a sudden crond refused to
work anymore. When I fired it up again it said:
CRON (04/14-02:52:23-1339) STARTUP (fork ok)
CRON (04/14-02:52:23-1339) STAT FAILED (cron)
and then it died.
I tried putting everything back I'd changed, but that didn't work. So
i did 'rpm -e crontabs', removed any leftovers in /var and /etc and
installed a clean crontabs again. But nog go. When I try (re)starting
crond it just quits with the same message. I figure I must have made
changes somewhere else, but I can't remember having done that :-( Does
anyone have a clue where to begin looking to solve this?

If you're planning on installing both Windows AND Linux on the same laptop
then by definition your computer has to be dual boot! To have both
operating systems installed requires rewriting of the master
bootrecord(which I think IS at the beginning of the disk). This can be
accomplished either with either the installation procedure that comes with
most Linux distributions( i.e. SusE) or Partition Magic. I did mine with
Partition magic and I highly recommend it. P.M. will cost some money, but
considerably less than $240! Either way, you should be able to easily wipe
the partition that currently contains Win98 and replace it with the Linux.
The main restriction I know of is that Windows requires to be installed on a
primary partition in order to be bootable, while Linux can boot from an an
extended partition.

If you have access to a rw CD drive, all you have to do is
download the iso image and burn a CD. But the RedHat site is
extremely busy, and the mirror sites don't seem to have caught
up. So you might want to wait a week or two.
We just managed to download the iso image and make a CD. I've
done two upgrades and am now doing a third. So far all has
gone well except for a couple of very minor glitches having
to do with the idiosynchracies of particular machines.

it shows something else ;-)

I have a linux machine on my network with an odd card. I used the tulip.o
driver on a hunch, and the ifconfig shows that it is up. If I ping myself
on it (localhost) it returns the pings just fine, but I can't ping anyone
else on the network, and no-one can ping me. I have both windows and
linux machines on the network but none are reachable. Is there something
else I need to do to make this odd network card work?

Has anyone tried Win4Lin? How does it compare with vmware?
Thanks,

Do you have the dialog package installed.
I've used texconfig on a wide variety of systems and never had
a problem.

Ah. That may be correct; I have no knowledge. I'm running the svga
server here from 3.3.3, so it's not accelerated. You're right,
though... great card.
