This sounds like a problem with the video card. Chances are the fix
would involve changing a line or two in a text-mode configuration file,
but you'll need to post more details on your video hardware before
anybody will be able to help you. Include the manufacturer and model of
the board, the video chipset (if you know it), and what resolution
you're trying to use.

Alternatively, try another distribution. There's a good chance that
whatever video configuration tools Corel uses aren't the same as those
used by {fill in the distribution name}, so you may have better luck
with another distribution.

The is usually the result of an invalid URL that is missing the trailing
slash required when referencing a directory without a filename.  You are
being redirected to the corrected URL before you have authenticated,
therefore, 2 HTTP requests and 2 authentication requests.  Try using a
valid URL and you will not have that problem.

No, Linux does not limit your ip traffic in any way. you have a faulty
smc8416 ethernet card on the windows piece. throw it away and get a new one.

I don't know what you mean by the above. The idea though is that you
should be able to automatically install RPMs, so it's not an advantage
to have an interactive installation.

If you want to allow installation of several different features, you
put those features in several related RPMs.

For example,

vim-common
vim-minimal
vim-....

are all built from the same src.rpm package. The user just installs whatever
parts they want.

The disadvantage of this model is that if you want to install say a few
hundred software packages, it takes all day because of the constant 
point&click&reboot cycles.

  Howdy,

  I'm looking to try-out Linux, but I'm sort of torn between Red Hat and 
Corel.  I know that Red Hat has the apps and perhaps will give me more 
mileage in the long run (this is based on reviews, etc...), but Corel 
apparently has a very solid distrib and apparently it's also easy to 
install.
  I'm a pretty confidant end-user...I like to tweak, and I can do so 
knowing full-well what can happen.  I say this because I wonder:  if 
Corel's main facet is it's ease of install, then perhaps I can handle Red 
Hat if it's got more under the hood?

  Any suggestions?  And, in case anyone is wondering, this isn't meant to 
be some sort of vote-stuffing corporate promotion thing where I exclaim the 
benefits of one brand in the end.

  Thanks in advance for all help :)

vipw didn't work but editing shadow did. I messed up and fixed the
passwd/shadow thing before so if it gives me any trouble I can fix it.
Also, to answer the other person. This system (the Linux Box, not this

Well, the shutdown of the various services is drived by a series of
simlink into /etc/rc.d/rc0.d. Each simplink execute a script with the
'STOP' parameter to tell the deamon to stop.
Of course, if the deamon itself is not working, the deamon can't stop
(because is already stopped), this happen if you have more symlink
than running deamon.

For example, if you have a symlink that tell to stop the PCMCIA 
interface (something like Kxxpcmcia), but you don't have any PCMCIA,
the deamon can't stop because it never started! This is also the case
if you have recompiled the kernel and removed some unused module or
deactivated some features.

Of course, the " killall" command work...

My suggestion is: check what you effectively start, and what you
try to stop. Eventually remove the "stop this-stop that" script
that are not used.

So that you actually want is to cut a pic into pieces, and
neither side of the pieces can be bigger than, say, 150
pixels? Something like a mosaic?

Take a look at the -crop option of convert. This does exactly
what you want. You can specify a rectangle to be cut out and
you can also specify the top/left point. Here is a solution:

I have a file called fly.jpg and I want to cut it up to 150
pixel wide/tall pics. Here is the script:

$ cat .a
#!/bin/bash
identify fly.jpg
for x in 0 150 300 450 600; do
        for y in 0 150 300 450; do
                echo "x${x}y${y}"
                convert -crop 150x150+$x+$y fly.jpg x${x}y${y}.jpg
        done
done
identify *.jpg


And here is when I execute it.
$ ./.a
fly.jpg 640x480 DirectClass 32kb JPEG 1s

Of course, this is not perfect. Your numbers should be
0 151 301 etc. I did a quick check, and it seemed the
cutouts were fine. I hope I didn't mix up x and y. ;-)

This is true for RH. Just be quick when the message appears. 
There's only about a 1 sec. wait.

BTW Radu, I saw the same problem with my CTX laptop. Disabling the apmd

Hi,

Glad to hear you are about to try out Linux....

Personally I would favour RedHat but that is probably because I have
used it since getting one of the 'Linux unleashed' books which shipped
RedHat 3.0.3 (kernel 1.0.13 IIRC) several years ago.

If not RedHat, then try any other 'RedHat Package Manager' (RPM) based
distro (SuSE, Mandrake etc) so you can get the packages from Rufus
(http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/) makes it worthwhile IMHO.

Bear in mind that RedHat is one of the leading distros and any add ons
that Corel for their distro do will almost certainly be available for RH
as well - or other RPM based distro.

Regards

Phil Q

Using RH are you?
I kind of suspect you're being bothered by kudzu, which just sucks, just
remove it.
Use linuxconf to remove it from the processes to run during boot-up
