Hi.
I am working on a RedHat 6.1 box, and recently found a minor
bug in the fortune database. :-) It gave the following:
A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
-- Wm. Shakespeare, "Henry VI"
which is a mis-attribution since the line is (AFAIK and according to
Bartlett's) from "Richard III" rather than "Henry VI". I wanted to
send a bug report to this effect, but I couldn't figure out who
maintains the 'fortune' program (at least the version found on RH6.1).
The man page simply lists it as being "based on the NetBSD fortune
1.4" and coming from "BSD Experimental 19 April 94 [May. 97]".
Any ideas on where I might submit this bug?
Dan
P.S. Yes, I *know* that this is completely imbecilic, but there's no
point in letting mis-information propagate. :-) If the mis-attribution
is the point of the joke, then it's too bloody subtle for me....

My lilo.conf file should give you an idea:
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hdb6
label = linux
image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse
root = /dev/hdb6
label = suse
Just save the bzImage file created by make bzImage as any filename you
like in /boot/ and add the relevent entry to lilo.conf

Subject: slackware dying on me
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 20:27:31 GMT
I have been running a slackware box as an ip-masq gateway for my LAN for
probably over a year now without a single hiccup. Fow the past week or
so now, after every hour or two i get init: out of memory errors in
dmesg leading to nfsd: out of memory, and more. Thats only if Im around
soon enough to catch that, seems like soon after that it locks up the
terminal, and services stop responding. I usually have to power down
the box to get it back. I upgraded from 2.2.13 to 2.2.16 and the
problem still exists. Any suggestions?

By whom? It is corrected in 3.31. It is an error introduced by the
author of file, not by Mandrake into 3.30. Any version which uses 3.30
will have it. No version which uses 3.31 or 3.25 or ... will have it.
It has nothing to do with Mandrake, except in your own vision that the
distributor should check through each message that any of the programs
he includes in the distribution looking for typos. That I am afraid is
nuts. If Slackware includes 3.30 in any distribution, it will also have
the error. If it does not, then it will not have that particular error.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with Mandrake or Redhat or Slackware,
or Debian. It has to do with the program file and the writer of that
program.
While your point may be valid, I do not know, that Mandrake has "more
errors", you clearly have to distinguish between Mandrake's errors and
errors produced by outsiders in programs Mandrake happens to include.
The latter Mandrake cannot hope to "correct" unless they are obvious to
anyone using the program. The former you can justifiably call them up
on. Your example was simply a very bad one, as it fell into the latter
category.

I'm using Red Hat 6.2. I'm going to patch my kernel source tree to add
support for Win4Lin. I'm using make xconfig to setup the kernel. In
xconfig there is an option to "load configuration from file". Was a
kernel configuration file created during the install of Red Hat? If
so where is it located? I want to keep the same kernel settings that
the insalled kernel gave me, but add support for Win4Lin, which their
kernel patch will give me. If such a configuaration file doesn't exist
then how can I get the kernel with the same configuration as it was
installed?

You can search your hard disk for binaries compiled with symbol information
(debugging information), which is of no use for a daily use. The command
file binary_file_name will tell you if there is symbol information (not
stripped) or no (stripped). To remove the symbols, just do "strip
binary_file_name".
Another thing you can try is to start only the minimun amount of terminal
consoles that you can need. In the file /etc/inittab the following lines
open up to six text consoles on startup. I think you can live with just the
first two lines, but that is up to you.

Yes, you are rigth. You can have as many compiled kernels as you want, and
choose one of then on boot, when the LILO: appears (if LILO is installed).
You only have to compile a new kernel and copy the kernel image (usually
zImage or bzImage) to a known localtion (usually /boot), under cylinder
number 1024 of your hard disk (this limit has already been removed). Then,
edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add a new entry like the following:
image=/boot/kernel20000731
label=newnet
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
Here you are saying LILO that there is a new kernel image called
kernel20000731 on /boot. Also, you label it newnet, and instructs LILO to
mount the root filesystem from /dev/hda3. Once finished, save the file and,
as root, exec "lilo". You will see the new kernel label newnet appear on the
screen.
The next time you reboot, as LILO: appears press the TAB key and LILO will
show you a list of labels (kernels) to boot. Type the name of the kernel you
want to boot, press ENTER and have fun !.
NOTE: you should never remove the lines related to the kernel image you are
used to load from the /etc/lilo.conf file. If you add a new kernel entry,
and this kernel fails to boot you won't be able to easily reboot your
system. Having the old kernel to boot from is a backup you should have, just
in case.

Shear horseshit. This is an impossible standard for any distributor to
meet. That any distributor should be expected go through each of the thousands of
programs then include and look for typos and do that for each change in
that external program is simply silly. If the
program has egregious errors which affect its basic operation, then
perhaps the distributor should find and fix them (Has the bug in pam
been fixed yet where pam refuses to change a 1 letter Unix password
entry in /etc/passwd-- that is an error which could have security
implications. Does Slackware fix it?-- Use Unix style passwords (
without shadow-- have not tested shadow) and put in a * as the password
for a user. Then use the passwd command to change it. passwd will come
back claiming to have changed it, but it will not be changed. That is an
error which is functional and has security implications. Try it on
Slackware. )

That won't make any difference in memory usage. The symbolic
debugging stuff shouldn't get loaded into memory when you execute
a program.

Choosing lightweight X apps is probably going to save the most
memory.

LILO will only boot from disks with BIOS support. Some mixed IDE/SCSI systems
have BIOS support for both. The diagnostic floppy from the LILO 21.4.4 or
21.5 distributions will tell you what disks have BIOS support.
If you have BIOS support, the disk=/bios= options will likely be needed in
lilo.conf.

You're using less that 3M out of over 14M of non-kernel memory
at the moment. That's pretty light already -- you might be able
to trim it down a little further, but it looks like you've done
a good job already.

xntpd is a daemon that keeps your clock synced to an accurate
time source on the network. You probably don't want it on a
laptop. I've never heard of omniNames.

About a month ago, I was futzing around with the registry in Windows,
and I rendered Windows unbootable. I run a dual-boot with Mandrake so
I thought I'd try to copy all my Netscape mail to Linux and see if I
could read it all. I was successful in doing this.
There are two files for each mail folder in Netscape on windows. One
is a text file, the other is a binary which has a suffix that currently
escapes me. If you copy all the text files over to your linux nsmail
directory, you can read them perfectly. You might try simply linking
each of these files on the linux side to the windows file instead of
linking the whole directory. I don't know what this would do to the
binary files if you change these files in Linux, though. I'd back up
all your mail up before you try this.
Good luck, and let me know if you figure this out, because I'd be very
interested in doing something similar.

originally using the stock 2.2.14 kernel provided by Red Hat 6.2. I

got that working okay but my printer no longer works with the new
kernel. I've tried all kinds of different options in the config and
recompiled at least 5 or 6 times. Parallel port, Auto-probe parallel
port, parrallel printer support are all enabled but the printer is still
not getting detected. It still works fine when I boot back to 2.2.14.
Is there some other config option I may be missing? Something else that
