You may wish to try this yourself to see (some of) the limitations. Telnet
to a Linux system from an MSDOS Prompt window on a Windows 95 system. Then
try some simple tasks you normally do on a Linux system.

Lynx needs a "working terminal" to be able to start up. You have a
"working terminal" when you run the script from the command line, but
not when cron is running the script (I guess the $TERM variable is set
to "unknown").
If you really want to use Lynx in your script (overkill), try using it
with the "-term=vt100" option (see man page).

For 2D graphs I recommend xmgrace. It is has a GUI and more features

I know this is a common problem with the sis6326 grapic card for the linux

I believe when running under cron the environment is different,
shell within a shell. The problem mentioned above was solved by
iteration and was never understood by me, so my statement is due
to intuition.
You have two, I think, shell variables getting output from lynx.
What does it look like? Just were is the problem occurring?

good morning; I removed my swap partition (/dev/hda4) to accommodate
installing FreeBSD. There where some problems so using BSD's install
routines I removed the BSD partions and put the swap back where it was
(setting the correct type) and gave up on the BSD effort. I also
re-edited the few files in my RH6.1 setup that I had to change for the
BSD effort so they where as before. When I rebooted my linux os it gave
me a msg that it could not find the swap's signature file and sure
enough when I check the memory there is no swap. it is there though as
when I check with linuxconf the partition shows up with the type being
correct.
if anyone knows how to correct this problem (short of re-installing) I'd
be most appreciative if you could provide a few pointers. Thank you in

I have no interest in your religious war.
As I pointed out before, in response to the original poster's pointing out
that for many floating point codes "MIPS MHz" are worth about 2-3X
"Intel MHz" (gee, why don't we argue about VUPS or Meaningless Indicators of
Processor Speed?), at the bleeding edge as well as in the more established
portion of each vendor's product line, the Intel products do, in fact, run
at about 2-3X the clock rate of the MIPS parts.
I have absolutely no quibble with your assertion that for many floating-point
codes, almost any vendor's top-of-the-line RISC will trounce x86. Hell,
until comparatively recently even *Intel*'s RISC chips did. (i860 Paragon,
anyone? Gotta love that explicit instruction pairing!). If you want to
rant and rave because I also pointed out that I have trouble justifying the
cost of any product I can actually *put* a top-of-the-line MIPS CPU into
when I have many choices including other RISC processors (e.g. 21264, G4) and
the commodity Intel processors that let me buy several boxes for the cost of
the SGI, fine. Rant and rave. I'm not happy with the situation either. If
it makes you feel better to blame the problem on me and call me
"intellectually dishonest", fine, do so.
Personally, I'll be doing what I have to to provide my users with the level
of performance they require in a way that fits within the confines of the
budget they give me. If you operate under some other set of constraints and
can buy whatever hardware you have an emotional attachment to (and make no
mistake, I do love the O200 under my desk!), lucky you.

You only have 781 cylinders on the relevant disk, so the 1024
cylinder limit shouldn't be an issue. The version of lilo that
came with your distribution should suffice.
But your lilo.conf file is wrong. The
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
should be part of the image statement. In my lilo.conf files,
the read-only comes before the root= statement, but I don't know
if that makes any difference.
The lba32 entry is irrelevant in your case.
But all that doesn't really explain why you are still getting
LI. Try a lilo.conf like the following
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
I presume your /boot/vmlinuz is a link to your kernel, but
put the explicit kernel name in there to be sure. If you don't
have 2.2.14-5.0, put the appropriate number there. Also,
make sure you use the entry in /boot with vmlinuz not vmlinux.
Make sure you run /sbin/lilo. You should get
linux added
or something similar as a message when it runs.
I am assuming in this that /dev/hda1 contains your root
partition. Look in /etc/fstab to be sure.
You should be able to fix this without reinstalling. It is
simply a lilo issue. Try it with the version of lilo that
came with your distribution.
If you don't already have a boot floppy, make one with the
mkbootdisk command. Do man mkbootdisk to see the syntax,
and be sure you have such a disk before proceeding.

I was not addressing my reply in any way to your citation of Turing machines
since your citation was an invalid attempt to try to falsely intellectualize
your position. I for one am not foolish enough to fall into your trap that
you have not even tried to hide.
What persistance? The switches used in this style are higly volatile more
so than core storage and are perhaps the equals of the processor's registers
in terms of the survivalibility of the data. Those toggle switches used to
provide the machine code instruction the the processor a byte or word at a
time are not used for storage. They are a means of communications to with
the processor or to the core storage. If you consider those toggles as
storage then you would have to consider the keyboards as storage as well
because they are used for a similar purpose.

It is unclear whether or not you have Linux on the machine.
If you don't, I don't see how you ran cfdisk. If you do
have Linux on the machine, and you put the lilo boot loader
in the master boot record, there is a good chance you wouldn't
be able to boot NT afterwards. But I am just guessing.
Let us know about Linux.
If all you have on the machine is NT and you were using a Linux
rescue system in a ramdisk, use it to delete the NT partition.
Then try to find a DOS/Windows startup disk and boot from it
and run
fdisk/mbr
Then the disk ought to look clean to the NT installer.

Try downing the network and restarting it. If you're running Red Hat
or deriviative try:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
look at '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network' with view, there is usage info
at the end of this script file.

Subject: About Linux 2.4.0
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 20:37:57 +0100
Greetings,
I am about to install the latest Linux kernel, but I'm not sure that
the apps that I install later (most built for 2.2.x) will be compatible
with the new 2.4.x series. Please could someone enlighten me about that ?
Any help would be appreciated,
Benoit Smith

Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 14:31:01 -0400
Thanks everyone !
I tried yesterday to remove all my cdroms in the control panel/systems and I
reboot.
Now, I have only two cdroms (CDRW and DVD), but the system is still a little
bit unstable (maybe some traces of the old partitions are still present in
Win98). I will try to do some other tests and if this do not solve, I will
create two primary partitions on my disk and reinstall everything (this is not
too bad, it is a new system and nearly nothing is install except the OS').
Thanks !
Gabriel
