Like the other poster said, create another partition if you can. If not,
there's another way:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=64
# sync
# mkswap /swapfile
# swapon /swapfile
That will give you another 64M of swap space. If you want this to be
activated on every boot, then put this line in /etc/fstab:
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

A LILO password is required for this to be useful; add the lines
password=your_password
restricted
to your /etc/lilo.conf, but first change permissions to 600.

I restarted the syslogd and the identd and still no go. Other service

A quick browse of the man pages on lilo.conf suggests that you can secure
yourself against console single user boot attempts, by adding a
'password=...' and 'restricted' entry to lilo.conf.
BUT, (ain't it always the case) it doesn't work on my Redhat 6.2 system.
If any one can shed any light on this, I would be most grateful.

We have found upgrading to RH6.2 went smoothly. But if you
are running 6.1 and you've already upgraded basic packages
like gnome, then it may not be worth the effort. It is not
a lot different from 6.1.

Depends on how init is set up though, on my debian install going to
single usermode will run /sbin/sulogin which requires your rootpassword,
otherwise it will simply boot into the default runlevel instead.
Of course if that person had a bootfloppy, or a screwdriver, they'd also
hav ecomplete access.

A few very basic points of fact here. First, there is now a universal
installer for the Windows OS that does work for Windows 9x, NT and Win2k
(and ME). In fact, applications to be certified for Win2k are required to
use it. Second, trying to replace a system file on Win2k and ME is an
operation that won't succeed unless you have the package from MS - you may
think you've succeeded, but quietly in the background, the OS repairs your
mistake. Also, the SFC utility has existed for several years now (installed
by default in Win98 and Win2K) and this utility will allow you to repair a
corrupted install of Windows without having to reinstall.
Just a few notes.

Those are pretty well supported. I've heard good things about
3DFX-based cards, too. (Lotsa drivers for them.)

Subject: VMware newsgroup
Date: 25 Apr 2000 18:32:55 GMT
I'm trying to help myself by reading up on a couple of the VMWare newsgroups.
My question is how to set up the news browser to access their
site, which is listed as news://news.vmware.com.
With XRN or the newsgroup option in Netscape navigator and xrn I start a
contact cycle that just waits forever and never connects. I'm embarrassed
to ask this question, but how does one configure a news reader to access the
above server?
In XRN I'm typing: xrn -nntpServer news.vmware.com
in Netscape I'm setting the newsgroup server as news.vmware.com
Neither works.
Suggestions?

Sorry Benson, I don't know anything about DHCP. But I think, you've
got the wrong date set in the CMOS of your PC.

Ctrl-Alt-(Keypad -) and Ctrl-Alt-(Keypad +) will switch among different
resolutions. As for the "default font", that depends a great deal on the
application. You may wish to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and make sure the
FontPath line with "100dpi" is before the FontPath line with "75dpi", then
restart X; this will make *all* the fonts bigger but may break
something. You could also go to
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Font-Deuglification-HOWTO.html and see what
that has to say.
