Hi.
I am looking for tools that would help to deploy and manage Linux and
replace M$-Windows. However, I have become rather accustomed to the
deployment and management tools that the M$ world has to offer. Some
examples of what I am looking for for Linux are:
* Automated OS installation on a clean system, possibly in combination with
boot from network.
* Automated hardware detection and installation during the automated OS
install.
* Scheduled and automated application installation, removal, and
configuration.
* wake up from lan.
* Hardware and Software Inventory.
* Centralized user management
It would be nice if there was some kind of integrated deployment toolkit out
there, but I doubt there is. I guess that it will boil down to getting
seperated packages that do *ONE* of these things, and then integrate it all
myself using shell-scripts and such?
All information, tips, or links to web-sites on Linux Deployment and
management in medium to large sites is more than welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks for that info. I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.17 and built the aic7xxx support
into the kernel. I did not use any boot parameters. Both SCSI cards and all
attached SCSI hardware are recognized at boot.

I had 2 6GB HD with NT and other stuff on the first HD.
The second HD had 3GB (FAT) first partition for my data
The rest of the 2nd HD partition were used for linux. With
the boot partition on /dev/hdb5
Now I have replaced the 2 6GB HD with a single 13GB HD
I have done an image copy (using Power Quest's Drive Image)
of my NT and linux partions from the old 2 6GB HD onto the
new single 13 GB HD successfully. NT boots OK. The boot
partition for Linux has now changed to say /dev/hda5
Problem:
Obviously my original bootable floppy and etc/fstab on the current HD
still points to hdb5. I have edited /etc/lilo.conf on the floppy to point
to
/dev/hda5 and when I boot from the floppy reports a "panic" (i think kernel
panic)
error. I have tried re-booting using the Redhat 6.2 CD in rescue mode and
using:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda5 / to mount the root directory. I think it mounts
the dir
because the listing shows some of my files. However when I when I do a
listing
in the /etc directory I only see files that were already there by the virtue
of the
bootable CD. Hence /etc/mtab is there but /etc/fstab is NOT there.

How can I restore the system from here. What files do I need to modify.
Any link? how to? Any help greatly appreciated.

Recompile the kernel, making sure to include PPP support? If you don't
know how to recompile the kernel, there's a HOWTO on it at
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html . You will need to install
the kernel source and bin86 RPMs; they're on your RedHat CD and you
should have installed the kernel source anyway. BTW, the ppp module
should be located under /lib/modules/$KERNELVERSION/net/ppp.o , so make
sure you didn't overlook it.

?? Is the monitor capable of greater resolution than 1024x768? "XGA"
is almost meaningless these days, so explain what the resolution and
color depth capabilities of your monitor are, and someone should be able
to help you. It is possible to get even "nonstandard" modes like
1400x1050 to work under X; it just takes a bit of work.

Subject: HELP!! simple device driver for mapping piece of /dev/mem to user space
Hi all,
I am working with a PCI board which has onboard memory. The card does
not have a device driver, so the only way I can access the card's
memory is by openening /dev/mem en mmaping the right memory block into
user space memory. However, this is only possible when running as
root. I want to be able to access the boards memory as an ordinary
user by writing a simple kernel-space device driver which maps the
correct memory from /dev/mem to memory in user space.
Can anyone help me out by giving me pointers to usefull example code,
documents or whatever useful information?
Thanks in advance.

when removing an rpm with the '-e' option, only use its name, without .rpm,
thus:
rpm -i packetname.rpm
rpm -e packetname
for upgrading, use: rpm -Uvh packetname.rpm

Only 960M of the N megabytes in your machine are actually being used.
If you have more memory than that, there's an option in the kernel for
"Maximum amount of RAM". It's usually set to 1G, but you can set it to
2G or 4G. This option is there because supporting very large amounts of
memory involves doing tricks with the address space on 32-bit machines,
and because few people have that much RAM.

:) Ok, and admittedly I am way out of my league on this issue. I will
defer to your expertise. Still It seems to me that a chrooted
