Bingo! It works! Thanks a lot!
Just a strange thing: the option "noatime" was not set in /etc/fstab in
my RedHat 5.2 (previous) installation and the "man mount" also told that
"atime" was the default. However the disk did not do that. Well, it does
not really matter, since it works like I want now.

U can use linuxconf in redhat to add another OS boot, or append ur /etc/lilo.conf with
the lines: other= /dev/hda1 label= winnt And before rebooting redhat linux type lilo
in the console to activate the changes. This will boot (as I hope) winnt from the
first partition when u type winnt. Note!: It was possible to boot from winnt safely
from lilo if u've chosen from redhat installation options that u have another OS and
add it to the lilo menu -at redhat insatllation-, but now I don't know if lilo will
boot into winnt since it overwrited MBR. -YamYam. Robert Wiegand wrote: > > bmlam

Subject: FS: toshiba 430CDT and ZipDrive $480 and FDC settlement of $100!
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 06:23:41 -0700
I have my Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT with an active matrix LCD for
sale. The CPU is a Pentium running at 120mhz, it has the CD-ROM
attachment and the Floppy Disk attachment. The condition is fair because
of a small crack near one of the hinges (I think this a common problem)
and there are a couple of stickers on the case (a CRYSTAL METHOD and a
SWITCH BLADE SYMPHONY). I still have the original manuals as I'm the
original owner. Also included is a PC-Card FaxModem rated at 56k Flex.
I will not erase the HD which has MS OFFICE 97 PRO, running MS Windows
98, MS MONEY 99 and more! You will be responsible to delete those Apps.
I will include a very nice laptop bag which the Satellite Pro fits very
well in and an external mouse (when you don't want to use the trackpoint)
NEW PRICE $480 (need the cash for taxes). Also as a recent addition I
will include my Zip Drive as well because I realized that I won't need it
after the sale. Also after going to Toshiba's web site to update the
drivers I notice a settlement from the FDC that entitles Toshiba laptops
owners towards $100 free on Toshiba products this is the web site for
more details:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/notices/fdcsettlement.jsp
E-mail me for more info (one the laptop NOT the legal settlement I am not

Hi folks,
I have installed Mandrake 7.0 with kernel 2.2.14p5 and lilo 21 at
K6-200MHz.
After installation system booting OK. I built new kernel and add
it to LILO boot (old and new kernels). After that I make
lilo -v command and everything is OK.
After reboot both kernel is not loadable, they write
"Uncompressing Linux ...." and no messages about loading
Linux. Only random HDD seeks. By my mean, the problem
in kernel uncompression

Subject: remote printing: lpr: connection refused
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 10:30:18 GMT
I am trying to set up printing from local to remote over ethernet, both
running RedHat. Remote has a printer connected directly.
Printing directly from remote is fine. But when I try to print from
local to remote using printtool (test page), I get:
Error printing test page to queue lp
Error reason: lpr: Connect: connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon
I am not sure what the problem is.
On remote, I created /etc/hosts.lpd. It has the contents:
abc123.gcal.ac.uk
(abc123 is the name of local)
On local using printtool I have
Name: lp
Spool directory: /var/spool/lpd/lp
File limit:0
remote host:abc124.gcal.ac.uk
remote queue:
input filter:*auot*-LaserJet 4
I didn't know what to put for remote queue. Is this the problem? How do
I know what to put here?
I thought that maybe my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files might be
preventing an internet connect to remote. I altered these to allow
any connection, and still got the same error message when trying to
print from local to remote.
What is wrong and how to fix? Thanks very much for any help!

Here's how I got past the same stuff: any sort of qualifier on a line that works
okay in your /etc/X11/XF86Config, such as the ":unscaled" suffix on "misc" will
make xfs choke. Leave all that stuff in your XF86Config, and add the line
FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"
after the suffixed entries (the ones that are supposed to cure Netscape's
crashing). Then, in your /usr/etc/xfs.conf make sure that there are only simple
entries with full paths to your TTFs.

Those are the LessTif imitations of the commercial Motif libraries.
I installed the RPM versions on my RedHat 6.1, and all of mine in the
/usr/lib/lesstif/lib/ directory are links to
/usr/lib/lesstif/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib/. Furthermore, the libXml.so is
linked to libXml.so.1.0.2, because libXml.so.1 is itself a link to 1.0.2.

Disk Druid can do some strange things with partition tables. In a similar
situation, involving an IDE harddrive, I used fdisk to recreate the label
on the drive, and suddenly all my backup data appeared. I simply wrote a
new label on the drive, no formatting or creating of file systems. The
only alternative is the expensive work of some very hi-tech machines...

Since bash uses some Emacs keyboard commands, I'd like to use the same
keys in each. Currently, Emacs uses the Windows key on my natural
keyboard for Meta. That's good, because it's easier than the Alt key,
which is too close to the spacebar. But for the life of me (and I've
FAQ'ed, Deja'ed, and Alta'ed) I can't find out how to make
gnome-terminal use the Windows key instead of the Alt key for word

I'm rather gathering that gnome-terminal doesn't respect X mappings?

At work, I can use ESCAPE-k to bring up the command history, like DOSKEY. I
tried the up-arrow as you suggest, but that doesn't work. I use RH 6.1.
Thanks for your response.

Hal,
It is working. I know about the font paths in XF86Config. And I know about X looking
for xfs. And it is a little strange that the ONLY invocation in XF86Config that
allows X to find xfs is unix/:-1. Any reference to port 7100 just fails. I don't
know why. Maybe it is a bug in X. But my stuff is definitely working now. I have the
kde font manager up right now and am looking at the ms verdana font. So why does it
work? Who knows?

Perhaps the program lsof might help you. If you have the name of the
files to be monitored, do a
lsof |grep -e 'filename'
all three seconds or so and write it to a logfile.
