'man fstab' will answer all your questions in this case. It's an
exellent help, you might even find some other options you'd like to
use you even didn't know it existed. :-)

Yes.
I even did a complete re-format and re-install and still can't work it out.
I'm beginning to wonder whether there's something wrong with Mandrake.
After re-installing, and not fiddling with *any* source code, I tried
to re-build the kernel making sure all the right options for me were
configured correctly. I did:
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
but at this stage got loads of warnings viz:

All the stuff I've read implies that warnings and errors mean I'm not
likely to produce a stable kernel.
Surely, the code ought to re-compile "out of the box" as it were.

Thanks. That clears that one up, though as you will see from a reply
to another message on this thread, I'm getting into even deeper waters.
Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but I am trying to follow the instructions

For one, Scientology collects and stores enormous amounts of private
data about its members. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about this,
because they store it on paper and not electronically. Electronic
storage would violate our data protection / electronic privacy laws.
(Germany was the first country in the world to pass data protection
legislation.)
The values and ideals held up by Scientology aren't exactly compliant
with the German constitution either.

I would install it as root.
That's what I did on my single-user computer.
I do not see why you wouldn't do that.
When you compile and install software from the internet you also
have to install it as root. (and ./configure and make as user).

Have you found a solution to this? I've got the same problem, and
I don't see any replies to your question. The annoying thing is
that the first time I installed Linux, this did not happen.

This is wrong, many libraries are now LGPL. If all software for Linux
had to be GPL it would present a problem. This was recognized by
Stallman and he provided the LGPL.

Hi,
I have a problem with mtv version 1.1.1.1. When using linux kernel
version
2.3.5 I have no problem playing VCDs. However upon updating to kernel
version 2.3.99-pre8 I have been unable to play any VCDs. I keep getting
the error message "Hum...no Video could be found on this track. Check
the

problem started on kernel versions 2.3.30 (I think - can't

Hi all,
I am a newbie to Linux. I tried the Corel Linux, but after

So, I decided to reinstall. But both floppy and cd-rom setup
has no response for a very long time.
Even if I want to re-partition; i.e., resize, I have no chance.
Using other boot disk from RedHat and Turbo Linux have
the same phenominon.

hi all,
i try to realize an incremental backup for our servers on an dds tape-drive.
i have made the following script:
#!/bin/sh
# fullbackup of ....
# nfsmount/smbmount
.....
# first rewind the tape
mt -t /dev/st0 rewind
# then backup
cd /
tar -c -v -V "Fullbackup" -f /dev/st0 -g /var/adm/backup/Dir etc/ home/

# unmount nfs/smb-shares

first i mount the servers via nfs/smb and make a fullbackup.
then i try to make a backup only of the files that have changed or are new:
#!/bin/sh
# incremental backup
# nfs/smbmount the shares
.....
# rewind the tape
mt -t /dev/st0 rewind
# and go to the end of the last file
mt -t /dev/st0 eof
# incremental backup
cd /
tar -c -v -V "Incrementalbackup" -f /dev/st0 -g /var/adm/backup/Dir etc/

but it doesn�t work. i get the following error message:

anybody can tell me what�s going wrong.

64 bytes from 192.168.0.3: time=0.1 ms <--- it picks up
again
No problems, it could pick up again............
THE PROBLEM IS --> when I unplug the server A RJ45 on the switch for
more then "300" seconds, and then re-plug the RJ45 back to the switch.
server A> ping 192.168.0.3

I cannot get any reply any more... even after 2 hours of pluged
in, I still get unreachable messages.
I have to reboot the server to get the server A eth0 up again.
Finally: This bug only appears in the enviroment of 100mb with switch
(same problems exists on difference network cards and switch). If I
change the switch to 10Mb Hub then it problem will not appears.

Don't send so much spam, be part of the solution not part of the

If he's looking at a website and using newsgroups he's connected
to an isp, the nslookup can be done from any other machine, not
the one he's setting up.
