BTW, while the subject's touching on bzip/bunzip, where is the home page for
this utility? Right now I'm "stocking up" for my first Linux installation,
and downloaded a .bz2 file to my Wintel machine. I can test zipped files to
see if they downloaded OK, but can't do it with a bzipped file. Is there a
DOS or Windows port of this utility? Thanks.

I am trying to get linux to print to an HP 1055CM on a
network of NT machines, but I am stumped. I can telnet
to the printer (so tcp/ip access is there) but I don't
find any indication of whether lpr/lpd is supported.
HP's website indicates that a Mac can use lpr/lpd to
print to this printer, but I couldn't find any suggestions
for setting it up from unix.
Can anyone share a printcap entry that they know works
for a 1055CM from linux?
Thanks.

http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO.html
The first one is information on how to set up Ethernet cards at the
hardware/driver level; the second is for getting your network up and
running with services such as telnet, ftp, NFS (file sharing), and
things like that. You'll need a crossover cable if you're only going to
hook 2 machines together--if you want to have a larger LAN, you'll need
a hub.
If you're bored with Linux already, you haven't scratched the surface
yet... Linux has lots and lots of programming tools, so if you know C,
C++, Perl, shell scripting, FORTRAN, COBOL, Python, Scheme, PHP, or
indeed any widely used language, you have nearly unlimited opportunities
for wasting time^W^Wlearning and having fun. If you don't know any
programming languages, why not start? Python is quite powerful and
probably easier for a new programmer than C or Perl. http://python.org
for more than you ever wanted to know.

If you do a proper shutdown, init will close all running
processes before unmounting the filesystems. This should leave
the filesystem in a clean state for the next boot.

If you don't already have a k_ide package installed, you should
use "rpm -ivh k_ide.rpm" instead. The "U" option tells rpm
you're doing an update of an existing rpm, while the "i" option
means you're installing a new rpm package.

? I don't think that's what the original poster was asking about, but
it's certainly true. Anyway, to try and answer James Ferguson's
question, a great deal of activity will occur in the memory cache.
However, the disk will be hit every so often, thanks to the "update"
process that runs every 30 seconds or thereabouts to sync memory with
disk, as well as the syslog daemon.
If you want to change the update parameters so that the disk doesn't get
hit as often, edit /etc/inittab and change the line that says
"/sbin/update" to read something like "sbin/update -f TIME -s TIME".
TIME is an integer number of seconds; you may set this to whatever you
want but I wouldn't go up more than 3600. You can also call hdparm to
spin the disk down after a certain time--man hdparm for the full scoop.
This is probably unnecessary for a desktop system and may even be
counterproductive, as hard drives are built to operate for long periods
in full power-on mode, and frequent spinup/spindown can shorten the life
of a drive. The main function of fiddling with hdparm and update's
delay parameters is to allow laptop users to extend their battery life.

Hi! I first started learning with Slackware and you WILL learn a LOT
about Linux. What I did was install the base system and development
tools and the kernel sources and I configured the system from that. I
got networking up, downloaded/built updated build tools,
downloaded/built X, and just about everything else I have (i.e. window
managers, Glib/GTK+, Tcl/Tk, etc).
Other distributions have really neat GUIs to help with administration,
but Slackware usually is pretty bare-bones. I've used Slackware up to
3.6 so I don't know what the current versions are like.
The problem is some apps are geared to work with the really popular
distributions so they might take more effort to get working on
Slackware.
Good luck!

During the installation of Mandrake, I hope you created a boot disk during the

At the lilo prompt of your boot disk
lilo: linux single
bash# /sbin/lilo

Hopefully your mandrake will come back.
If your mandrake filesystem is damaged when coming, it should prompt you do a

Hopefully your mandrake will come back.

Your best bet would be to post the specific problem you're having to the
glibc and Linux kernel mailing lists. The glibc mailing list is here:
http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/. I'm not sure about the kernel mailing
list.
Good luck!

Subject: Learning RH Linux in Depth ??
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 09:50:51 -0700
Hi,
Every time, when a new RH Linux is issued, I always can not find its user
manuals, even
I buy the original package. So I can not learn or know the new features.
E.g. in RH Linux V6.2
1) The LVS system is built-in during the installation, I do not how to use
it ??
2) Apache V1.3.12, the httpd.conf are already including, access.conf ....
, the httpd.conf is
different, but I do not know what is the difference ??
Can anyone tell me how to find such manuals ???
Thank you.
