8 bit means 256 (2 ** 8), 16 bits means 64K (2 ** 16), etc. colors.

How was the second image generated? Did you do something like:
TRACK=`cdrecord -msinfo`
mkisofs -r -J -C $TRACK -M /dev/scd0 -o image.iso /path/to/dir ?
If you didn't put the -C and -M options in correctly with mkisofs, then
the second session will be somewhat difficult to see. I suppose you
could try:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom -o session=2
but that's kind of a kludge and shouldn't be necessary, really....

Simple answer: Mo bits = mo colors.
A binary digit can be 0 or 1, which is two possible values, color
values in this case.
A permutation of the bits is any arrangement of the set S of r bits in
a given order. Note: sampling w/ replacement here.
With the product rule principle we see that a set S of r bits each
having n possible values gives us n*n* ... *n or n^r.
With 8 bits you have 2 possible values occurring in 8 different slots,
thus 2 raised to 8 is 256.
2^8 = 256
2^(16) ~ 65k
2^(24) ~ 1.5m
All the best,

Does it? I think that's what usually called "Free Trade".

Doubtful. rpm.org has RPMs, and if you don't *have* RPM installed,
you've got a classic chicken-and-egg scenario.
Install gcc using whatever method your distro uses (apt-get or dselect
for Debian, pkgadd for Slackware) and get the latest kernel source
(2.2.16 as of this writing) as 2.2.5 is over a year old and contains a
couple of bugs. Compile the source and go. BTW, how did you manage to
get far enough along to want a new kernel without learning a little
about your distro's package-management system? Just curious....

tthe xfs warning : that means it is looking for that directory, and it is
not here, or it can't read it. I'm no biggie on X. I use the command line
moset of the time ( run level 3 )
As for httpd, that sounds like Apache. You have a web server on your
computer ?
It seems to be trying to determine it's name from the ipaddress, and
failing. "ServerName" is a directive in the apache httpd.conf file, I think.
in your ./etc/hosts fine you should have something like this :
127.0.0.1 localhost localdomain
< your internal static IP> gateway
What's there ?
There is another file in the /etc directory that specifies the dns search
order, but I forget what it is. Anyone ? (my memory isn't very good on
this. )
it should start with
"order hosts," and have some other stuff attached, by default.
However I suspect that these are not the lines that we are looking for. Can
you clear the messages file, reboot into run level 3 to see if things work
and that the problem is just X ) ? then log in, and try to "startx" , and
see what it says ?
startx > start.log
Honestly, I haven't a clue what is messing around , but that's what I'd do
to start my investigation .
I sure would like to know what the problem is though .

You have your netscape mail directory in /usr/opt? Are you surfing the

If not, this could be a permission problem.

Hi, there,
I am using a Red Hat 6.2 at my home. When I was tweaking my

my self. And I tried to talk from one to another. But I received
the following message:

It seems there is some problem of resolving the address. But
when I tried "talk [EMAIL PROTECTED]", I still got the same

No clue about it.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I just made the biggest mistake of my life... I installed windows on my

deal with this kind of hard work, but for one detail... Windows erased LILO
at installation.
Now I can only boot Windows, no more LILO prompt... What I need is a
bootable floppy to /sbin/lilo! but I don't have a floppy drive...
So here it is... I don't have access to any linux box, I CAN'T
reinstall my linux stuff, I got lots of documents I can't afford to loose...
I know there is a way to convert a boot image (boot.img) into a iso image
(CDboot.iso)... But I can't do it...
Can someone point me to somewhere I could download a bootable CD, just a
booter so I can run /sbin/lilo... or if it doesn't exist, oh my god... Why
oh why did I install Windows??

Nothing to do, so I decided to bore you with:
Hi guys,
I have a little problem with my linux server; two network adapters are
installed and working, but I can't seem to route packages from one net

My configuration:
SuSE 6.4 Linux, standard kernel for IDE 2.2.14
eth0: 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
eth1: 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
I tried to add the corresponding routes with the commands:
route add -net 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
I also enabled the entry IP_Forward=yes in /etc/rc.config

The short entry in net-3-howto on routing doesn't help to solve my

Can anyone give me a hint what I did wrong or where I might find further

This may not be to helpfull, but give it a try. I seem to remember that w=

Got me. But try:
http://www.linuxcare.com/bootable_cd/
It's roughly 40M in size, should be burnable with several WinXX
cd-burning programs. I'm going to make me one, even though it won't
have the nifty business-card form-factor. It includes an awful lot of
utilities for rescuing systems, including LILO. Bonne chance, HTH.

Edit the file /etc/inetd.conf and make sure that there's a line in there
like so:
talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.talkd
If that line has a # in front of it, remove that # sign. Save the file,
then "killall -HUP inetd".
If inetd isn't installed, you may want to install it.
