Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 12:18:32 -0500
I've got RH 6.0 installed on a partition with 850MB. Now it seems that I
can't install StarOffice because it says there's not enough disk space on
the volume?! How can this be?
I have nothing else installed, except Gnome 1.2 that I recently downloaded.
Are there temp files somewhere that don't get deleted? Where can I look to
see what's using up all the disk space?
Thanks for any help.

You don't create /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep by compiling a
kernel, but by running 'depmod -a' as root. You're probably confusing
this with .config and/or System.map, both of which are automatically
generated during a kernel compile.

Compiles fine with both gcc-2.7.2.3 and gcc-2.95.2.

Subject: Re: Booting a Linux drive from a different port than original.
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 13:28:30 -0400
Hi,
changing the lilo configuration depends on running Linux. If
you put the hard drive with linux into a different port position,
how can you boot the system to change the lilo to recognize the
different port as a different device. It seems like catch-22.
To me it seems that you would have to change the kernel or
lilo on the boot floppy to point to that other drive port position
so that it can boot the system. If that is so, how can I accomplish
it? Or can a boot floppy just find the Linux in the system? But
what if you had more than one version of Linux on the hard drive(s)?
Or can you give lilo boot parameters to tell it which partition to boot
from?
Another thought, maybe if one can boot from a rescue disk
and change the lilo config file and then run lilo, I guess that
could do it.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
Mike

Clearly, the company you work acted stupidly in not buying the appropriate
licenses.
I can't see how a lawyer can demand that you do not rectify the situation.
Without a court order or injunction, you can do as you please.
If you decide to uninstall or buy licenses that's your right.
You should probably bring your resume up to date and be prepared to work
elsewhere.
There is nothing treacherous in what the lawyer is doing. Your company was
aware that the software they had required licenses to be bought.
They were also aware that not buying them could result in legal action.
Your company should engage the services of a good lawyer for advise and
defense.

Hi,
I am tryting to install the bios driver from the /dev/bios project by
Stefan Reinauer(http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~stepan/bios/)
I am on an HP LPr box running RedHat Linux 6.1 with kernel-2.2.12-20, and
egcs-1.1.2-24. It is an SMP with two i686's.
When I do
insmod bios.o
I get the following symbol referencing errors
bios.o: unresolved symbol securebits
bios.o: unresolved symbol __generic_copy_from_user
bios.o: unresolved symbol unregister_chrdev
bios.o: unresolved symbol register_chrdev
bios.o: unresolved symbol pci_find_class
bios.o: unresolved symbol create_proc_entry
bios.o: unresolved symbol vfree

bios.o: unresolved symbol remove_proc_entry
bios.o: unresolved symbol pci_find_device
bios.o: unresolved symbol sprintf
bios.o: unresolved symbol printk
bios.o: unresolved symbol __const_udelay
When I compile a normal C programs without any includes having sprintf()
it works, I am not too familiar with module installation so it might be a
very silly thing :-|

I simply don't believe that you have nothing more installed. There's
probably both an Emacs and XEmacs installation lying around, and a
full Perl distribution as well as loads of GCC stuff...
To see how much space is available on all your mounted disks:
df -k
To see how much space is available on this disk
df -k .
To get the sizes of the files and directories in the current
directory:
du -k -s *
(do that in '/')
To do the same but get the result in size order (smallest first):
du -k -s * | sort -n
Do not try to remove any big files in /proc, it won't work.
DO NOT SIMPLY REMOVE FILES AT RANDOM!!
YOU SHOULD KNOW WHY YOU CAN REMOVE A FILE BEFORE DOING SO!!
Read documents at <URL:http://www.linuxdoc.org/>, especially the
administrative guides.

I just installed 2.2.16. Running "depmod -a" seems to successfully
create the modules.dep file.

What makes you think I am running with shadow passwords enabled?
This is a system on a protected network where all the systems
share the same password file - including many whose OS's do not have
shadow support.
The problem still remains. The passwd program lies! It didn't not
update /etc/passwd correctly. Shadow passwords or not, it should never
leave the password field blank while stating that it has "updated the
tokens."

I have this impression to. I tried Red Hat on my IPX but it wouldnt even
install properly. When I checked in the usenet group I saw lots of similar
problems but not exactly the same as I had. I concluded that it muste be
buggy, other people have told me so to.
I then tried Open BSD instead and I had no trouble installing or running
it. It seems pretty fast too. Now I just need to figure out how to network
it with the SS20 and then I can run both the BSD and Solaris if I want.

Absolutely correct. That's why I load all my sound drivers at startup and never
unload them. It only takes about 50k anyway. However, some sound driver mutes the
output during initialization to solve this problem. It depends on the specific
sound driver.

That command tells you how much each sub-directory is using inside a

Subject: Random lockups on RH 6.1
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 14:57:36 -0400
I installed RH 6.1 on a Pentium II machine, but am experiencing random
lockups which require a hard reset to get out of. It required several
attempts just to get linux installed on the machine, and it won't run for a
full hour before locking up. The hardware itself should be ok, as the same
machine has been running Windows 95 for the past two years with only the
typical occasional (and bothersome) Windows crashes!
The system consists of an Asus P2L97 motherboard, Award BIOS, Intel Pentium
II/233 MHz, 64 MB RAM, Trident Super VGA card, and 3Com 3C905 network card.
I do not have a sound card, and I experience the same problems in runlevel 3
(i.e. not running X windows). This is a clean installation of RH 6.1 & all
current updates on a linux-only machine.
Could this be some type of BIOS setting or motherboard problem? Has anyone
else had similar problems?
Thanks in advance!
