Hi:
I just installed Redhat 6.2, and whenever I log in, I get lots of colors
on my screen when I type ls. However, when I add a .cshrc and a .login
file to my home directory, I don't get the colors anymore! How do I get
the colors back while still having a .cshrc and .login file?
Thanks,

Yeah but do I really want it to do that much? I've never seen windows
actually dare to turn the power off to my computer... it just says it's
safe to turn it off...
Ya never know, If I had linux turn off the power, perhaps only linux could
then turn it back on again... uh oh...

rebooted. it halts: Warning, unable to open an initial console.

i'm not too familiar with passing options to the kernel, so i'm LOST.

Having found the shutdown command, and how to use it (thanks ppl :)...
My (slackware 7.0) comes up with the 'power down' message, and nothing after
that. Is this when i should turn the power off or should I get a 'stopping all
MD devices' or something else after that also?

Subject: vi line-editing mode in bash?
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 18:14:47 -0500
Hi,
I'm using Red Hat 6.2.
I've set my default shell to bash, and in my .bash_profile I have set -o
vi.
Problem is that I don't get any command-line editing in this
configuration (i.e. esc-K doesn't work, up arrow doesn't work,
nothing). If I type "set -o emacs" at the command-line, that mode works
correctly, but not vi.
Any ideas?
(And, no, I don't plan to switch to emacs right now <g>)
Thanks,
Peter

You're misunderstanding the user of that file. That controls which
services start up when inetd runs. So this file is only used when inetd
starts, it has no purpose in detecting when one of these services is used.
I don't know the answer to your question, but you're clearly on the wrong

This reminds me of a question, which I think I've seen a partial answer to
somewhere....
I have 256 MB of RAM on my P3 with about double the hard disk space I actually
use (8GB). I don't run any REALLY intensive programs, about the most memory
intensive I get is running the gimp with a several hundred kilobite image under
KDE. Should I have a swap partition with this much RAM? If so, how big should
it be? I don't actually have one at the moment, and things seem to be running
ok, although I haven't had that much experience with linux, so I'm not sure if
I could get better performance or not.
I remember reading a couple of docs on the issue, but they were talking about
systems with < 32 MB of RAM which is a different scenario to mine altogether :)
Another thing I'd like to mention is that yesterday I rebuilt the kernel for
the first time - and it worked! Although I did have a couple of stuff-ups
where I forgot to run lilo afterwards and it wouldn't boot... and I tried to
use the bzImage in the usr/src/linux directory rather than
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386 ... and it complained that it was too big...
How big should the kernel be (as another question :) After compiling it with
what I thought was a reasonably minimal set of specs for my system, the bzImage
is 800-something k and when I look at free (without running anything after
bootup) it says it's using 40MB RAM... Is that too big? On my system it
doesn't seem so bad, but it does seem big...
Regards
Quentin.

I'm not sure what you are thinking here. The inetd daemon
does only read inetd.conf at startup (and when it gets a
kill -1, of course) but the things within are run by inetd
in response to someone attempting to connect to a service.
The services aren't running waiting for connections; that's
inetd's job- it's the "super daemon" and when it gets
something, it starts up whatever it has been told to.
There's all sorts of things you can do by wrapping services
in your own programs- of course, you need to be careful lest
you accidentally open up a great big wide door for someone
to drive through..

I'll give you the variety part, but not the quality part. The majority
of *nix software is of far higher quality, IMO. (Unless you equate eye

For the masses, though, windows is still hard to beat.

Physical memory + swap - kernel memory = virtual memory that
you can use for apps. If no app needs more than what you
have, you don't need swap. However- if your kernel
panicked, it will want to dump- and that dump couuld be a
little more than 256MB. See
http://pcunix.com/Boot/swap.html for a discussion of this on
a different Unix.

Good question! I've never looked. I imagine so, since you've got all the
source code. Let's see...
OK. You can modify "include/linux/linux_logo.h" to get a different logo.
There are restrictions on the number of colors and size of the image
though. It looks like straight binary bitmap data. I don't know which
tools would be suitable for editing the image -- you might need a
specialised 'bitmap-in-source' tool.
On second reading, I think 'convert' should do the job. 'XBM' output
produces a C-source format.

I believe Andy is right. I have a Diamond Speedstar A50, which has an
SiS6326 chipset, working fine with redhat 6.1 and XFree86 3.3.6. I did
have trouble until I added options to /etc/X11/XF86Config. At Section
"Device", I added Option "no_accel" and Option "no_bitblt". Other video
cards using the SiS6326 chipset may need different options.
See http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/SiS.html for more information.

Er, Netscape has an entry for "Print Command" in the printing dialog
box. Presumably it pipes the postscript to whatever program you put
there. You oughta be able to do something with that and maybe a small

Something is seriously wrong with your system or configuration if you are

That's a lot of partitions! I usually have
1. C (2G in case of FAT) or > 2 for FAT32
2. LINUX swap according to the mem size
3. /boot ~ 32MB
4. ext
4.1 /
4.2 /export
put in export opt and home ( /export/home and /export/opt) and use the
automounter to generate /home/<user> or /opt/<appl>
that makes it easier in case you expand to a network or just shift
around.

I am not sure if *BSD kernels are compressed.
