It's not an error; as such, there is no solution. It's a safety margin
that part of the ext2fs filesystem. Every so many mounts, at boot time,
fsck will do a forced check of the filesystem to ensure it is still
consistenti and error-free. It can probably be changed with tune2fs, but
you shouldn't really have to do this. The forced check can pick up
errors that you otherwise may not pick up, so can save your filesystem
in the long term.

OK,
I have an LS-120 drive installed in IDE2 as master.
When I boot RH6.2 first time after installing it there is a screen
from the hardware detection utility telling me it has found the drive
and is installing software.
So I know it is there, but how can I "mount" it so I can use the drive
to read plain old MS-DOS disks from it? One person suggested:
# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/floppy -t vfat
Did not work, there were a number of error messages on this one.
So far I have only gotten responses from the OS like hdd1 is not a
block device and such things.
Is there some utility/screen where I can see *all* available drives
recognized by the system so I can know what Linux actually calls my
LS-120? I have no clue whatsoever to what it might be called.
(hda1, hda2, hdb, hdc, hdd with or without numbers..)
It is all so very confusing, one might believe that once the drive is
found it would be accessible too, but no.. :-(
Please help, someone....

Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 11:41:34 -0500
I am running Netscape 4.75 under RH 6.2. When I try to access
Microsoft's website, I get a blank page. The problem seems to
be Javascript. If I turn it off, I get the web page, but
certain options are not available. I was trying to search for
a driver to download. There is a line starting "Search" where there
should be a box or an area to type something, but it isn't there.
Are there any conjectures about whose fault this is? Is
Microsoft running a non standard version of javascript so
that only IE will work with it? Or is there a bug in Netscape's
javascript.
This is one instance in which I must say I don't believe in the
"free market". GOVERNMENT should tell these people they have to
use compatible protocols and not try to shut each other out.
Nobody else is going to do it.
Of course, many of you will say I shouldn't be bothering with
the MS website in the first place. But sometimes one doesn't
have a choice if one wants to work with other people who use
their products.
If the politics works out so Microsoft can kill the Justice
Department suit, this is of course the biggest threat to Linux.
Microsoft can so corrupt all the standards that only its products
will work. Us Linux users will be stuck in our own ghetto where
we can play with interesting and innovative software, but we will
increasingly be cut off from the rest of the world.

Well, with RH7.0 have coincide two somehow rare events:
On one hand, the RPM4 issue: well, it has no easy resolution, but it has
an old resolution. Problem first arose (to my knowledge, and at great
scale, surely there are older examples) when first high level
programming languages did appear (back in the seventies). You probably
have heard about C compilers being writing in C. Well, then, how do you
compile your first C compiler without a C compiler????
Answer is "stepping": you start with a machine code able ot compile the
first C compiler version, very uncomplete, but still able to compile a
wider compiler, which in turn is able to compile a bigger one...
You see, the same problem arises with the rpm: rpm is thougth to install
new programs, then how do you install a new rpm version "wider"
(=uncompatable) than the old? Again, stepping.
On the other hand, RH 7.0 is aimed to the new 2.4 kernel series and new
glibc2.6, so it's a big leap (more or less the same from RH5 to RH6, so
you can expect more and more problems in the future to find newer
versions of your programs as pre-compiled RPMs and still compatible with
your system (note that if the new versions don't use the new
functionality you still will be able to compile yourself from a
tarball). For instance, take a look at the latest Apache's RPM
released: it is RPM4 based, but well, once you have upgraded rpm you
will find you need still a lot of further upgrading till finally you see
it stands over glibc6.2, which in turn claims to be dependant on kernel
2.4, which is not released yet!!! (it would work on 2.4.0preWhatever,
which is not but a prerelease).
But this is not an obscure maneouvre from RH (while they *do* some
"obscure" maneouvres, like releasing their new version RH7.0 clearly
sooner than they should in an intend of coping more marketshare). It is
only the way opensource works (that is, very unscrupulous regarding
backguards compatibility).

Yeah, I'm what some would call a 'newbie' to Linux. Could some of you
'gurus' point me someplace that has some good Linux fundamentals? I've seen
a lot of places that profess to help the newbie, but they explain things
without explaining them. Know what I mean?
They'll give a big speech on loading drivers or something, but then they'll
mention all of these obscure config files and .so files. What the heck are
those?
Any good books or URLs that you can suggest would be great!
Also, I've got a question about Gnome. I'm trying to make the jump from
Fascisoft Windows to Linux but I'm tripping over some things. Here's the
question:
I've got RedHat 7 installed with Sawfish running Gnome. I want to install a
cool theme for Gnome that I downloaded, but when I choose "install new
theme" and select the file it doesn't show up in the window of choices. I
think it installed because it created a .themes folder in my home directory
and copied a bunch of junk in there, but I can't seem to get it installed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I've got a problem with a crashing netscape on SuSE6.4
I've tried the following versions of netscape and they all crash the
same way.

navigator-v474-us.x86-unknown-linux2.2.tar.gz

Usually it happens when I press a form-button, but sometimes I don't
have to do anything at all to get a crash. It can run for hours without
crashing but it can also crash after a few minutes.
I have installed the recommended patch from SuSE
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/x1/xshared.rpm
but that didn't help at all.
I also tried
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/xap1/netscape.rpm
But the result is always the some (the above stack trace).
Anyone knows a solution to this? Is it the /lib/libc.so.6 that is
giving me this problem?
Considering to switch to Windows ME...no just kidding... :-)

Subject: Finding RedHat's kernel settings
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 17:16:18 GMT
I installed RedHat 7 on my machine and found that I need to apply a
patch to the kernel so that I can boot from my HPT370 connected hard
drive. I got the 2.2.17 sources from a kernel mirror side and I also
got hedrick's patch for the sources. The patch applied beautifully.
Now I need to configure and build (yes- I know about the kgcc issue).
I want to configure my kernel like the original one (2.2.16-22) was
configured. Are the settings available somewhere? I looked around a
little on my drive, but I wasn't sure what to look for. If someone
could point me in the right direction or tell me that what I'm looking
for doesn't exist, I'd be very appreciative.
I tried patching the original sources, but RedHat has made enough
changes to the standard 2.2-16 source tree that the patch failed.
BTW- what CPU setting (i386, i686, etc...) is the best match for an
Athlon 800?
Thanks,
Steve

AFAIK there are no compatibility-issues with respect to themes.

Partitions on a floppydisk? This is the first time for me that someone
talks partitions on floppys. Is this possible?
The disk is a 1.44Mb ordinary disk containing a few RPM updates I
downloaded on my WinNT machine and copied to floppy in order to
transfer to the Linux box.
The normal floppy controller on the Linux motherboard is broken so I
cannot use a standard floppy, that is why I am hooking up the LS-120
since there are several IDE slots free.
I have now changed the slave to master setting but no change in
behaviour, unfortunately...

If you want to check to see if it is installed use:
rpm -q packagename
Or: rpm -qa | grep packagename
To install it: rpm -ivh packagename-1.2.3-1.i386.rpm
To upgrade a package: rpm -Uvh packagename-1.2.3-1.i386.rpm

you can also make pine no to ask you for your password, if you compiled

You can use most themes but you will have to play with the 0.5x themes to
get them to work because they're in a differenet format.
All the 0.6 themes should work. To install a 0.6 theme unzip and untar it
and then place the theme.themed directory in
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes (this is on mandrake , it may cary on
Debian).
For sound you need WSoundServer and WSoundPrefs. I can't remeber where
from but a search shoould find them. After a few mishaps i managed to set
htem up fairly easily
