Far as I can tell, just list all the files you want included at the end
of the mkisofs command, with their directories.
mkisofs -o storage.iso `find /home/biggles -mtime -5 -print`
would make and iso of all the files under /home/biggles which were
changed in teh past 5 days.
Since an ISo file costs nothing but time, try it and see.
(Note you probably want other options to mkisofs that just the ones in
the above line.)
You can see what you got by mounting the iso file and looking in it to
see what got saved.
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop-/dev/loop0 storage.iso /mnt/cdrom
and then look in /mnt/cdrom if everything is tehre.

Imake is the "traditional" way of of compiling X programs. I was using
it years before I ever saw configure.
Configure contains the info about every variation on every platform that
it can be compiled on in the ./configure file itself. It the file does
not contain the info for your platform, then you may be SOL. Admittedly,
it is well supported and seems to handle the vast majority of cases very
well.
Imake keeps the platform dependent information on the platform, so that
theoretically any new platform could compile any program that had
properly configured Imakefiles. This also allows easy platform dependent
customization if, for example, you wanted nonstandard locations for
binaries, docs, etc.
Unfortunately, many vendors shipped their computers with broken Imake
implementations, leading to widespread dissatisfaction with it. Hence
its eventual replacement with ./configure.

I don't think so. While competing applications present their own API
sets (e.g. Notes, Oracle), control of the OS is at the heart of the problem.
"Windows ain't done until Lotus won't run" they used to say, but such a
strategy is irrelevant if has no financial stake in favoring one application
over another.

Possibly because they recognize the computing landscape is changing
more rapidly today. Few want to see the creation of a permanent DOJ body
charged with regulating Microsoft. If the latter follows the rules layed out
for that three-year period their control over both end users and customers
(including OEMs) will be history.

Subject: Driver for Panasonic/MKE CDROM?
Date: Fri, 5 May 2000 11:08:11 -0700
Hi.
I have recently installed RH60 on an old Pentium system that has a Panasonic
CR563B CDROM, which in turn uses a Create CT1810 interface card. (The CDROM
is not IDE, alas.) The jumpers on the CT1810 card are set to the default
address of 230 (JP1).
When I initially installed Linux, I selected CDROM type of "SoundBlaster",
and the boot diskette obviously found a suitable driver, because the rest of
the installation worked directly from the RH CDROM without problem. However,
now that Linux is installed, I cannot find a driver that wil allow me to
mount the CDROM. All documentation seems to suggest that the SBPCD driver is
the one to use, but this driver does not seem to recognize the device. (When
I issue the command: "mount -t iso9660 /dev/sbpcd /mnt/cdrom", all I get is
a couple of messages about scanning for certain devices, followed by a
failure to locate a suitable device. Likewise, issuing the following command
"linux sbpcd=0x250,1" to the Lilo BOOT: command doesn't seem to make any
difference.)
I've tried posing the problem on the Red Hat Installation mail reflector
without any success. Can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Darrell.

There are a couple of commands to shutdown the machine. You can look at
'runlevel' section for all commands. The followings will be good and safe
one.
As regular user, use 'shutdown'
$ shutdown -h now #h - halt, or -r for reboot. It might prompt you
for your password
As root,
# /sbin/init 0 (0 - for shutdown machine, or 6 for reboot)
Ctrl-Alt-Del is defined also. I believe it was defined as 'init 6'
Good luck

Gethostname will pull your your machine's name, and gethostbyname will
just retrieve whatever IP address is in your /etc/hosts file associated
with your host name.
So one solution is to have the correct contents in /etc/hosts, such
as:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
192.168.0.1 myhost.mydomain myhost
So if you do a gethostbyname on "localhost" you get the loopback address,
and if you do the lookup on "myhost", you should get the real IP
address 192.168.0.1. Of course, this won't work if the host has
a dynamically assigned IP address.
The long answer is that a machine may have many IP addresses. The address
127.0.0.1 is just as valid as any other. It's just not reachable from
the outside network.
In the general case, a machine may not only have multiple adapters that
sit on multiple networks, and are known by a different IP in each of these
networks, but a single network adapter may also have multiple IP
addresses (you've heard of IP aliasing, right?)
So there is no right answer to the question ``what is my IP address'', because
the right question is ``what are all my IP addresses?''. From all the IP
addresses, it's not easily possible to determine which is the most important
one, or the relevant one in a given context.
Intelligently written networking software does not care what its IP address is.
Your IP address is, effectively, whatever a given peer knows you to be. For
example, on a certain machine at work, I have the IP address 10.1.3.9. But
this address is meaningless to the Internet beyond the firewall, which sees the
same machine as a different address.
If I wrote a program to retrieve the address "10.1.3.9" and sent that address
to the outside world, that would be a programming bug, because that address
makes no sense in that context.
The BSD derived ``talk'' utility would fail most of the time precisely because
it naively tries to retrieve the local IP by doing a gethostbyname lookup and
then sends this IP to the remote host. A lot of the time, this braindamaged
program would end up sending something meaningless like "127.0.0.1", or
some static intranet IP, so you would get an error message when trying to
talk, or reply to a talk. (Has this been fixed?)

Whoops, last post double tapped mouse button...
I've asked about this in the past. A knowledgable
fellow replied with the following;
There is something for those setup scripts that you
can do. I'm assuming you ur trying to turn off the
apache web server on your linux box, so you may try
this...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mta stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/http stop
This shuts down the ports until your next reboot.
/etc/sysconfig/daemons/http set ONBOOT=NO
/etc/sysconfig/daemons/mta set ONBOOT=NO
Will shut down these ports permanently.
You can remove the appropriate lines from
services to keep the daemons from attempt at
communication.

My system is having win98,winnt and redhat linux 6.2. I am bootig from lilo
. My windows of win98 has got corrupted,so I reinstalled the win98. Now the
problem is even though it did not effect the nt boot loader, it has over
written the lilo,as now I am not getting lilo prompt but directly winnt
boot loader only. Any suggestions? I do not have any emergency boot disk
for linux.
Thanks in advance

Redhat ships with a broken copy of /etc/inputrc; either replace
the contents of this file with one line
set editing-mode vi
or unset the environment variable $INPUTRC which points
to this file.

Strange silence. I was hoping to find out for myself. How about it. Any
projects working on Windows Media streaming files. I don't think MS has
anything planned for Linux users ;-)

I got it working. For some reason my BIOS didn't recognize the
CD-RW drive for the 1st three reboots after installing new drive.
Now everything seems to work fine. Odd...

The trouble with not playing audio CDs was that the
driver thought the player was empty.

My sound card has an AUX1 and AUX2 that allow me to
connect additional line level sources inside the
computer. So, I connected the 2nd CD drive to AUX1.
For what it's worth, on my Creative Labs SB16 AUX1's gain
is set in tandem with the LINE gain and AUX2's gain is
set in tandem with the MIC gain.
Cheers....

If you search dejanews there was a step by step how to do just
this posted just in the last couple of weeks. It even inlcuded
all the switches to pass to lilo to account for the fact you didn't
boot off the hd, how to make a boot disk from the install cd, everything
you need.
It explained it better than I can so I'll ref. you to it.
