~~ 
~~ Hi,
~~ 
~~ I'm using Netscape and I've recently upgraded to 4.74 in an attempt
~~ to overcome a few problems I'm having with it, but in vain...
~~ Could someone please help me?
~~ 
~~ 1) Netscape always complains that it doesn't find "java40.jar",
~~    but it is in /usr/lib/netscape/java/classes, which is in the
~~    CLASSPATH variable. The file is readable and all directories
~~    leading to it are readable and executable.

set the MOZILLA_HOME varabiable to the directory that the netscape
executable is located in.

~~ 2) I'm not sure if this is related to the problem above, but often
~~    images are displayed all wrong, look like garbage. RedHat has
~~    issued a bug report on a memory leak in Netscape 4.72, which I
~~    thought was this problem, but upgrading to 4.74 didn't help.

hmmm.  of all the problems i have had with netscape, I have never
had it render images incorrectly.  I have always used the netscape
binaries from http://www.netscape.com though, maybe try that.

~~ 3) I can't use the address book. When I'm composing a message, I
~~    press the address book button, select an address by highlighting
~~    it and when I press the "To:" button Netscape immediately quits.

i have never seen that one either, again, I am not sure how redhat
packages netscape, you may have better luck going straight to the source
and getting the binaries there.  then again, you may not. perhaps a
redhatite will know better than i the source of your problems though.

Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2000 02:30:37 GMT

I have a Ricoh RW-7060A CD/RW attached to the secondary slave IDE port
on my motherboard.  I don't use it to burn CDs in Linux so I don't
know if there has been a problem all along, but after I upgraded my
kernel to 2.2.17 (from 2.2.16) the following error message appears at
startup:

ATAPI device hdd:
  Error: Unit attention -- (Sense key=0x06)
  Power on, reset or hardware reset occurred -- (asc=0x29, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was: 
  "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "

Interestingly, despite this, the drive still appears to function, at
least for reading CDs, under Linux.  Is there anything I can do about
this, or is it just a mysterious quirk I will have to live with?

It means you need at least 5 megabytes of free space on your hard
disk to install this rpm, and you don't have this.  You'd better
delete some inessential stuff since you're not going anywhere
without glibc.

How about posting your work.  You have a very unusual problem.
You can run 'script' to capture output: (see 'man script')
  cat /etc/ld.so.config
  ls -l /usr/local/lib

The other thing is should there be a sym-link to 'libnessus.so.1'
from something else.

Please post the result of the script.

Have you tried doing a raidhotadd on the other disk again?  I ran into
the same thing when I built my new 2.2.16-RAID kernel this weekend...
doing a raidhotadd worked fine for me.

The only issue I ran into was that running lilo under the new kernel
resulted in a hang at LI  but if I booted off CD or floppy to the stock
RH6.2 kernel (2.2.14-5.0) and ran lilo from there.. I could then boot
just fine.

Basically if you can read a directory or a file you should be able to
extract anything you need to from /proc.  This is a simple Perl example of
grabbing a list of files in /proc and a couple of lines out of
/proc/cpuinfo.  You should be able to do something similar in any
programming language:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
opendir(DIR, "/proc") || die "can't opendir /proc: $!";
@files = grep { /^[^\.]/ && -f "/proc/$_" } readdir(DIR);
closedir DIR;
print "Files in /proc:\n";
foreach (sort @files) { print "$_\n" unless /^\d+$/; }
print "\nCPU model name and speed:\n";
open(IN,"/proc/cpuinfo") || die "can't open cpuinfo: $!";
while (<IN>) { print if /(name|MHz)/; }
close IN;

'make zImage' makes a gzip-compressed image (I believe it's also the
same as 'make vmlinuz). 'make bzImage' makes a bzip-compressed image.
Since bzip compression results in more compact files, 'make bzImage' is
required for those whose kernels have a lot of extra "junk" built into
them. For those building leaner kernels, 'make zImage' works just fine.

Using gzip vs. bzip shouldn't pose any problem to the original poster.
If it were a problem, he'd get complaints of "Kernel too large" or
something along those lines during the build process--long before he'd
had a chance to reboot.

Just my $0.02.

While I haven't used redhat 6.2, there is a fair chance that
it does actually get the network going correctly, even for a
pcmcia ethernet card.

Windows 95/98/NT sharing is not NFS (which stands for
Network File System). I think, but am not sure, that I have
seen NFS for Windows somewhere. Not sure if it a client
(useless for you here) or a server. Also I am not sure
whether W2000 provides NFS.

By the way, Unix including Linux uses / for directories, not
\. A directory would be /cdsharename/cddirectory if it is
going to work.

Sorry this is probably not very helpful.

No, Documentation/kbuild/commands.txt says:

: Note: the difference between 'zImage' files and 'bzImage' files is that
: 'bzImage' uses a different layout and a different loading algorithm,
: and thus has a larger capacity.  Both files use gzip compression.
