A little skepticism for something that is a bit of a 'fly
by night operation' in comparison to the other things that
German regimes have been intolerant about in this century
would actually be rather called for.
To put Hubbard's little money making scheme in the same
league as a culture and religion that has a continuous
history and tradition longer than the majority of cultures
on this planet is a tad bit absurd.

Merely bringing up Germany's past abuses does not autmagically
obsolve entities of criticism merely due to the particular
entity doing the criticising.

I am running WindowMaker on Red Hat 6.0, and have recently installed the
wmmon monitoring application. Unfortunately, it keeps telling me that I
do not have enough free color cells.
Video-wise, I am running an ATI Rage IIc video card & a Sony CPD-17SEt
monitor at 1024 x 768 @ 75MHz. I'm not sure if that is what it is
screaming about, but it is my best guess at this point.

Perhaps I want to read the binding port from a config file when the

the numeric address can't be known in advance.

They are evenly spaced - basically, the filesystem is arranged in block
groups of (usually) 8292 blocks, each with a copy of the superblock, so
the sequence to try is 1,8193,16385,...,n*8192+1
This assumes that the start is correct - that is why i asked about the
partition table. (You can also use tools like dumpe2fs and debuge2fs to
access a filesystem directly, but this is neither trivial nor fast).

fdisk -l
should list the partition table as it appears now. If you know the correct
data, you can fix it with fdisk - if not, entering approximate values and
trying to read (never to write) should eventually get you there. You might
want to search on http://freshmeat.net for applications that try to find the
start of an ext2 partition on such a hosed disk - i think i saw something
announced some time ago.
Do you have a boot disk that was created during the original installation ?
With luck, this may have a copy of the partition table on it.
If your / or /boot partition is still accessible, you can also usually find
a backup copy of the MBR and partition table there, that dates from the LILO
installation.
Hope this helps,
Martin

My Linux server seems to take forever to respond to Telnet & FTP commands.

responding with a login prompt. Is there a way to make this delay shorter

Subject: Lance ethernet driver
Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 07:23:26 GMT
Yesterday I installed linux (2.2.13) on a rather old 486 machine with an
AMD ISA ethernet card (a.k.a. 2100), at adress 0x280. It requires the
lance driver, which I installed. The Howto on this rightly states:
"Also note that the driver only looks at the addresses: 0x300, 0x320,
0x340, 0x360 for a valid card, and any address supplied by an ether=
boot argument is silently ignored (this will be fixed) so make sure your
card is configured for one of the above I/O addresses for now."
My card has no jumpers for changing the address and the problem isn't
'fixed' yet. Who can fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
We have several Linux boxes on UPSs and we have found that they work
perfectly. We chose APC Back UPS Pro devices and find that they can hold
up the system for about 40 mins (without monitor). As these machines are
servers the lack of a monitor is not considered a problem.
IIRC APC have a Linux driver now for their UPS devices but we have
stayed with the smupsd package as it works ;-)
The UPS talks to the PC over a serial link and smupsd will monitor the
UPS to see when the battery reaches a certain % of charge (by default
this is 40% but a command line option changes it). At this point it will
start a shutdown which will complete before the UPS is drained.
The only thing smupsd can't seem to control is the alarm which goes off
every 30 secs when on battery IIRC the Windows driver can opt to silence
this. Perhaps the APC driver can - in an office environment I think the
alarm is needed...
If you can guarantee only 5 mins of power outage then you can probably
get away with specifying the smallest (& hence cheapest) UPS which
should be about what you specify as a budget.

I think pine sets the "From" address itself. Try this:
In pinerc look for a comma-separated list that starts with
'feature-list='. Add 'allow-changing-from' to the list. Then look for
'customized-hdrs=' and add 'From: Your Name <your address>'.
Hope this helps.

Raw disk being the whole hard drive. Everything on it, data, free space,

Booting from the floppy allows you to mount the two drives at specific
points. Also, there's no open files, so you can just go ahead and copy.

NO! Look carefully. You're mounting three partitions, /dev/hdc (/mnt) and
/dev/hdc1 (/mnt/boot) and /dev/hdc3 (/mnt/home). That's the three in "find .
boot home".

It is possible to do all that without screwing Windoze, but dangerous --
back up all important data first.
Start your linux installation. It should recognise your two partitions
and types.
Delete the W2k partition. Then in the spare space resulting, create /
(ending before 1024 cyl = approx 8Gb); swap and other partitions (/home.
/usr, /opt etc)
Finish the installation, then configure Lilo to boot both W98 and Linux,
and install it in the Master Boot Record.
This is one way of doing things; there are many others --

I don't have a UPS myself, but MGE seems to have nice units,
and they have Linux drivers for at least some of them. The
prices I have seen here in Belgium range from a little under
EUR 100 to approx. EUR 400. I assume that, as usually is
the case, they will be a bit cheaper in the US. MGE lives

>From Winifred Trumper's CD-Writing-HOWTO:
4.7 Is it possible to make a 1:1 copy of a data CD?
Yes. But you should be aware of the fact that any errors while reading the
original (due to dust or scratches) will result in a defective copy. Please
note that both methods will fail on audio CDs! You have to use cdrdao or
cdda2wav on audio CDs.
First case: you have a CD-writer and a separate CD-ROM drive. By issuing the
command
cdrecord -v dev=0,6,0 speed=2 -isosize /dev/scd0
you read the data stream from the CD-ROM drive attached as /dev/scd0 and
write it directly to the CD-writer.
Second case: you don't have a separate CD-ROM drive. In this case you have
to use the CD-writer to read out the CD-ROM first:
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cdimage
This command reads the content of the CD-ROM from the device /dev/scd0 and
writes it into the file "cdimage". The contents of this file are equivalent
to what mkisofs produces, so you can proceede as described earlier in this
document (which is to take the file cdimage as input for cdrecord). If you
want to see a progress-meter and other fancy stuff, then you can also use
J�rg Schillings sdd.
In case you run into errors, then install a recent version of cdrecord,
which ships a tool called "readcd" (found under misc/). It gives you the
same result as dd, but reads sectors on the CD-ROM several times in case of
errors.
