What does this error message mean: 'Bad Owner/Group'? I am getting it
when I try to create a *slightly* hacked version of ghostscript 5.10-10
under RH 6.1. RPM completes through the %install phase. It seems to be
unhappy with the %build stage. Here is the spec file I am using:

%description
Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM)
interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which
implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and
an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript
translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like
those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally
used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to
non-PostScript printers.
If you need to display PostScript files or print them to
non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you
install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts
package.

You are both right, or both wrong, depending upon how you look at it. The
older AMD K6 processors did not have an efficient fpu. For example when I
upgraded from P200 MMX (P180@66MHz) to Evergreen AMD K6-2/400, fpu
calculations only improved 15%. A mobile PIII 500 is twice as fast, but
has faster RAM, video and hd. On the other hand I do not know how the
Athlons compare with their psudo 200 MHz front side bus.

Hmmm... well there's Spruce. It's speedy, has a pretty good filtering

I did an ftp install of FreeBSD without any trouble and without any books.
The online docs are pretty complete. Docs are usually in /usr/share or
/usr/X11/share and the ports make it easy to install the latest programs.
You have to compile an option into the kernel to read/write ext2 drives.
There is a Linux+FreeBSD-HOWTO.
If you use the default sh for a shell you can get the backspace key to
work properly (?) by adding the following to .shrc or whatever it uses for
an rc file: set -o vi
One thing that threw me was that the binary for 'mc' (midnight commander)
is called 'midc' due to a conflict with another program name.

yes, i think you can. linux does need some filesystem scratch pad.
hence you'll at least need a ramdisk or nfs based /tmp. swap is
optional but you can easily run out of ram.

At the moment, I'm using mutt (http://www.mutt.org) for text-mode stuff
and xcmail (http://www.fsai.fh-trier.de/~schmitzj/Xclasses/XCmail/) for
GUI stuff. I'm not really satisfied with either of them (particularly
XCmail), but they seem the best I've tried for my purposes. Note that I'm
not using either for POP access; for that, I'm using fetchmail
(http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/index.html), which grabs mail from
POP, IMAP, or various other types of mail servers and dumps the mail into
the local Linux mail queue. Fetchmail can be configured to check mail
at regular intervals, or run manually.

Have you thought about using a somewhat easier mail client like 'pine'
that would do that for you automatically? Or are you trying to do
something with a mail script?

Subject: Anyone else out there using BootPart?
Date: Thu, 04 May 2000 23:16:39 GMT
This isn't a question, just a suggestion for those who
are trying to configure dual- and multi-boot setups with
Linux and WinNT/Win2000.
On my setup, I have two physical disks. I have Windows95
and WindowsNT on the first disk, and Linux and FreeBSD on
the other. I use BootPart to get to them. What BootPart
does is create a 512Mb file on the first partition of your
first physical drive which is a copy of your master boot
record. It uses that to find your other partitions and
lists them in the WinNT boot.ini file. So, you can just
use the WinNT boot menu to select your operating system.
BootPart is very easy to use. Just type "bootpart" and it
will display all of your partitions and number them. Run
bootpart again and pass the number of the partition that
contains your boot files as a parameter, and give a
name for the bootpart bin file like this:
bootpart 8 bootlinx.bin Red Hat Linux 6.2
where "8" in this case is the partition of my Linux /boot
partition, "bootlinx.bin" is the name of the MBR file that
BootPart will create, and "Red Hat Linux 6.2" is what I
want the WinNT boot menu to display.
Anyway, just a thought that might help some of you who are
trying to setup multi-boot configurations.
If you want to give it a try, you can get it here:

memory at a time. Then I tried mmap with the /dev/zero device.
The code is :
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define NLOOPS 1000
#define SIZE sizeof(long)
static int update(long*);
int
main()
{
int fd,i,counter;
pid_t pid;
caddr_t area;
if ((fd = open("/dev/zero",O_RDWR)) < 0)
perror("open error");
if ((area = (caddr_t)mmap(NULL,1024,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,0,fd,0)) ==
(caddr_t) -1)
perror("mmap error");
close(fd);
memcpy(area,&i,1024);
return 0;
}
and the output of the program is :
> mmap error: Invalid argument
> Segementation fault (core dumped)
Could anybody help me ?
Thanks

I looked at the web page - sounds a lot like vmware.
Can you say anything about how the two products compare?

1- I need to write a script to display the current processes running on the
machine EXCEPT the processes which are part of the normal operation of the
system.
2- I also need to write a script to display the files in my home directory
which are bigger than 1MB.
How do I do this??
Any ideas ??
Thanks
