here is my fstab:

1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro
0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults
0 0

0 0
none /proc proc defaults

none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs

The cdrom entry is noauto as you can see.

The kernel source is the ultimate authority, of course. I seem to recall
browsing it once, and it wasn't too difficult to figure most of it out. If
you need some help, I've also seen this information in the book _Linux
Kernel Internals_ (Beck, Bohme, Dziadzka, Kunitz, Magnus, & Verworner;
Addison-Wesley, 1996; but there may be a newer edition by now). It's also
in _Upgrading & Repairing PCs, Linux Edition_ (Mueller & the Linux General
Store; Que, 1999). I think I saw a writeup about ext2fs in an issue of
_Linux Journal_, too, but I don't recall what issue.

The answer likely depends on what you plan to do with it, and whether
the default configuration and related "config paths" agree well with

You should still be able to use perl modules in other directories so
long as you remember to "include" the location of the module.
If I remember correctly modules do not need to be installed by root,
what matters is what permissions the module requires and if it will be
able to inherit sufficient rights - i.e the default user/group of the
user installing the module and any additional user/group/rights that
have been set up for file creation on the file system.
Hope this helps.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to print man pages. First I have to get the man page to standard
output. If I type in man something, less throws the output to the screen as a
simple stream. Fair enough. If I use for example
man -P cat something | less
I get a different result: the output contains headers and footers which don't
align right after throwing this stream to enscript. If I send the above output
to a file, the headers/footers are still in there, so less isn't the problem.
If I cat a text file, I see no headers or footers.
How do I get rid of the headers/footers? What's putting them in there and why
does it keep trying to outwit my calling arguments?

Not a problem with gcc, but with how you're using it. Most likely,
you've forgotten to link with the math library.

/home preferes to be separated, size depends on your needs
/opt, /usr/local and even sometimes /usr/X11R6 are seperated but otherwise on /usr
create an symlink /opt -> /usr/opt of /usr/local/opt so
if you don't want to create a seperate /tmp try this
ln -sv /var/tmp /tmp (first remove /tmp)
keep /dev /bin /sbin /lib /etc on / these dirs are needed for booting
using different partitons is a good thing, a weeks ago win98 whiped my /usr partionion
(twice!) I was glad it was only /usr and not the other ones. (rpm's database lives on
/var, so
could ~easly~ restore all my installed programmes).
when you install new OS version you can format all partitons but /home. keeping data
and
programmes seperated is a good thing.
