Always been at the back of my mind to do something like this eventually

Mind you it's always been at the back of my mind to seperate everything
that's GUI only into GUI/console counterparts

Not so hot on the coding unfortunately, but perhaps in all the other areas
you mentioned and the do***tion you didn't mention. :-)

Subject: Java SDK 1.2.2 - Linux
Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2000 23:20:31 +0100

All,

I downloaded the Java 1.2.2 SDK for Linux from Sun.
I downloaded the large 21 MB file using the FTP utility on a Win 98 PC.
When the download was complete I transferred the file to my 486 PC upon
which I have a Slackware LINUX distribution installed.
Following the installation instructions from the website I attempted to
decompress the 21 MB file.
However, the following error is returned:

 "gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data --format violated
 tar: Child returned status 1
 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors"

 I used the this command line, "tar xvzf jdk1_2_2-linux-i386.tar.gz"

I had to rename the file to its original name as it was truncated when
transferred.

 Has the file been compromised or affected by download to a WIn 98 PC?

 Any help is appreciated.

Bryan Galvin

        My BIOS has the option of autoconfigure, or of setting up 
all of the settings by hand. I did (which I thought I'd done 
already):

# pnpdump -c -r > /etc/isapnp.conf
#modprobe ad1816

And it was all working.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but...

You can't pass "boot parameters" to a module.  In fact, you can't boot with 
a kernel that needs a module in order to find the root file system.  You 
have to compile-in the support for an aha152x adapter, and then you can 
pass it "boot parameters" via lilo.

Hello;

     If you are a student, there is a student version of MatLab
for Linux.  I have not tried it, but I'm seriously tempted.

     Occasionaly I'll write some small programs for Octave and
have been happy with it.  Octave is not a clone of Matlab, but
the two programs are very similar.

     I have heard that Python also is a nice language to
conisder using.

It depends somewhat on the printer, but if the printer is a PostScript
printer or 'standard' InkJet (such as an Epson), I'd put the printer on
the Linux box.  If Windows 2000 is like Windows NT 4, it should have
'Microsoft Tcp/Ip Print Services' -- this is Micrsoft-speak for lpd. 
Install this on the Windows 2000 box and use this protocol for printing
on the Linux box.  Don't forget to put the Windows 2000's hostname in
the Linux box's /etc/lpd.hosts file.  From Windows 2000's point of view
it will be an 'Apple (Color) Laserwriter II NTx' (generic (color)
Postscript), no matter what the printer really is, since you will be
using a Ghostscript PS-to-printer filter on the Linux box. Using
'Microsoft Tcp/Ip Print Services', you have the Printer Setup Wizard set
up a *local* printer, and create a new LPD port (it will ask for remote
host and queue name).

If Microsoft tossed 'Microsoft Tcp/Ip Print Services', you can install
Samba on the Linux box and use Microsoft's Network Printer services.

It *is* possible to install the printer on the Windows 2000 box, make it
a sharable printer and install Samba (client) on the Linux box and print
that way as well.

No. Single User mode is a very limited mode designed to protect the system
while running maintenance stuff.

At the LILO: prompt, type 

linux single

This starts the machine up in a limited run level. Only one Virtual Console.
Only root can log in, and most of the partitions are unmounted or mounted
read-only.

This is the only really safe way to run things like 

fsck -c

lost+found is a directory used to store files that have lost their
connections in the file system due to damage. Their filenames have been lost
but most of their contents should be intact. They're named after the i-nodes
they were connected to.

Examine the files and directories in lost+found. 
Use 
file #45839 
(or whatever number) to help determine what file type it is.

When you know what a file is, you can copy it back to it's proper directory
and filename.

Subject: Mounting proc filesystem dup2: bad file descriptor?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ION)
Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2000 23:43:29 GMT

What's this mean??!!

I have a RedHat6.2 linux version installed, and now when I reboot, I get 
nothing but FAILED signs when trying to mount the filesystem.

I get all "Bad File Descriptors [failed]" for each of the following:

Mounting proc filesystem dup2:
configuring kernel parameters dup2:
Setting Clock dup2:
Loading default keymap/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /dev/null: Read-only File system
Activacting swap partitions dup2:
Setting hostname 
checking root filesystem dup2:

then it says
"an error occurred during the file system check.
Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell

Give root passsword for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal Startup)."


1) What could be the prob and how would i fix it?
(also, using e2fsck and e2fsck -b 8193 does not work either.  It gives the 
following error:  Couldn't open /dev/null (read-only file system)
Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1"



ALSO

2) what exactly does the /dev/null file do for the system??

HTML creation:  nedit, emacs, or vim with syntax highlighting.  Keep a
Netscape window open so you can preview your work.  StarOffice and
Netscape Composer give you WYSIAMWYG[0] at the cost of being incredible
resource hogs/crashing.  IBM's working on something called "TopPage" but
it's not finished yet.  Check http://freshmeat.net/ and do a search for
"HTML editor" for more info.

Graphics:  Bitmap editing = the GIMP.  Raytracing = POVRay or blender.  
Not sure about vector graphics, though there is xfig.

FTP:  Pick one, any one.  gftp is nice, very WS_FTP like if you're
familiar with that.  ncftp is great on the command line.

I am under the impression that there *is* a ctime; see for example
'man ctime'.  It is a c function (man 3) and not a command.  My 'Perl
Cookbook' gives recipes for altering atime and mtime and explicity
states something to the effect that there is virtually no way to alter
the ctime, it the creation time.

I will forge ahead and alter the atimes and the mtimes and hope that
all goes well.

Thanks for your input,
John Hunter

Subject: Is there a free CVS mirroring tool I can use?
From: David Steuber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 00:00:01 GMT

I can't seem to get to freshmeat today.  What I would like is to
mirror the anoncvs.kde.org CVS repository on one of my local servers.
How can I do that?  I would also like to put other stuff in the same
CVS repository ( in other modules ) so that I have only a single CVS
server to access when I want stuff from CVS.

I hope I wasn't too muddy.

Thanks
