Subject: backups via NFS
Greetings!
Ok, I have my laptop and desktop linked via ethernet and nfs.
Part of the point of the exercise is to have a nice way to back up the
laptop and to restore it in case of catastrophe.
It's got three partitions: VFAT16 (Win98), HPFS (OS/2 Warp 4), RH 6.0,
coming to about 3G altogether.
What's the best way to pile this stuff onto my desktop for storage and
ease of recovery using nfs? I assume somehow tar and gzip but I'm not sure
what incantation. Remember, there's little free space on the laptop though
there's plenty of room on the desktop so any swapping or temp files have
to park on the desktop.
Also, rough estimate, how long might I expect this to take, say, to park a
1 Gig partition? The nfs connection is direct: cable from one computer to
the other.
I also need to consider my strategy for recovery: maybe a bootdisk which
can enable nfs?
Thanks!

Linux is no ideal system for everyone, and noone claimed that. If you feel
lazy to read some documentation and don't know how to install or compile a
driver, then you are better off with Win2K. But Linux is free, and as long
as it is free, you have to depend on what the people (users) have developed
for other users. Is Windows free? Is Office free? No, but they give broader
and simpler driver support in exchange for a narrow spectrum of fine-tuning
and personalisation. The second one is a more dramatic issue. You HAVE TO
obey Windows rules and do what they say and buy only their software with
their prices. It doesn't let you get yourself in the whole process, it
keeps you alone and outside.. That's the thing I don't like about windows.
It's sneaky... (I wanted to use hinterh�ltig, a word in German)
And it's not open.. I hate secrets when something runs on a system I OWN..
that's it..
So go use Windows, noone blames you for that. After all, it's your time and
your money. but not YOUR operating system..

Hmmm... I haven't had problems like that w/ gftp yet, but I will admit that
I still prefer ncftp or lftp for rock-solid downloads. Another client out
there that worked well for me, but I didn't really warm to appearance-wise
was 'wxftp', which is basically a clone of WsFTP. It always seemed to work
pretty good.

Use the filesystem type code "ntfs" to mount NTFS partitions.
Unfortunately, it's not included in the default RH 7.0 kernel, so you'll
need to recompile the kernel (or at least the NTFS module).

wxftp is called axy ftp by now. It is stable, but doesn't have all the
features I need. E.g. it doesn't let you select which files to
resume/overwrite _before_ starting the download - instead, it will ask
whether to resume the file download right before starting to download
this individual file. Also, it doesn't automatically reconnect and
resume the download when a download times out.
IglooFTP Pro and gftp would be fine, if they weren't so buggy :(

I have currently installed Red-Linux V.8 (based on RedHat 6.1 GPL) on
my second hard drive, using the graphic installation mode (it had
recognised my riva tnt2 and my monitor!), and as it says in the
handbook, all packages for the Xfree86 (and KDE) to start are already
installed. However, when i try to start my KDE with the
command "startx" as a root user, the screen goes black, the music
comes, but when i switch back to the console, it says as follows:
"kpanel: waiting for windowmanager
could not read '/tmp//kfm-cache-0/index.txt
kpanel: ok, commencing initialization"
and it just freezes there and whatever command i type, it doesn't
react. As i am a linux newbie, i am sure it is a fairly simple problem,
but what is it, and how is it to be solved?
thankyou for any help.

If the partition is of type NTFS, mount it with "-t ntfs". If that
doesn't work, you will have to compile NTFS support as a module. (su -
&& cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make modules modules_install)
And stay away from the NTFS write support unless you like fixing broken
filesystems, since writing to NTFS is still experimental.
Remember to use kgcc instead of gcc if you do compile kernel
modules--RedHat 7.0 shipped with a version of gcc that cannot compile a
working kernel, as you may have heard elsewhere.

First check /proc filesytems. If it doesn't list ntfs , check if if
there is a ntfs.o module somewhere unter /lib/modules and load it with
"modprobe ntfs". Then try to mount with "mount -t ntfs ..." again. If
there is no support in the kernel nor a module available, you have to
rebuild your kernel to enable the ntfs support.

GNOME and KDE are _just sets of libraries_, and some applications that
use those libraries.
Both are constructed to run atop X, and X is _perfectly happy_ having
applications using all sorts of toolkits run top it, _simultaneously_.
- You want to run gnomecal and kwm at the same time? Knock yourself
out; they'll work _perfectly well_ together.
- You want to run kspread and gnumeric simultaneously? No problem.
No need to deinstall one to run the other.
- You want to run kpanel and GNOME Panel at the same time? Go ahead.
You may want to set them up to appear on different sides of the
screen, but that's not a "bug" of either.

I don't think so; I suppose that if it has to fix a broken file, it
likely tries to allocate the new inode afresh, which may result in
those files that were _broken_ getting a little less fragmented.
It would be quite distressing were it to do more than that...

If you have the hard disk space, I rather keep both. Gnome and KDE work
nicely with each other. I can run Gnome written
programs on KDE and visa versa.
I like Gnome as my root desktop because its system administration is
better.
I like KDE as my non-root desktop because its more user friendly.
and Gnome and KDE is always getting better.

Subject: kernel 2.2.16-3 from RH won't compile (custom)
Date: Sun, 05 Nov 2000 18:33:49 GMT
I downloaded all the kernel packages from RH for this kernel
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/kernel-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
What is the deal? When I use the rpm kernel released from RH(RedHat) it
does not
compile (a custom kernel) it spits out errors about not finding errno.h but
yet it is there and in my path? Is the problem in the source itself?
If I download the generic 2.2.16 from kernel.org it compiles a customized
kernel with no issue.
I have installed and built many RH kernels in the past and am quite
comfortable with the process.
I don't think I need a lesson on make mrproper, make config, make dep, make
clean, make bzImage.
What I do want to find out is where this error message really points...
since I looked at the scripts and the line numbers stated in the error
messages, and I can locate what it is complaining about and the permissions
look right (errno.h) but yet the script can not find errno.h?
line 25 of /usr/include/bits/errno.h calls <linux/errno.h> and
/usr/src/linux/errno.h exists
as well as /usr/include/errno.h which is calling /usr/include/bits/errno.h
Should there really be a /usr/include/linux/errno.h ?

I think there is a link or path issue here but I am not sure where the fix
is?
I know I could use the generic kernel but I want to use the rpms from RH to
keep
better revision control as well as maintain the RH enhancements.
Any commentary/pointers would be appreciated.
thank you

Yes of course. /usr/include/linux should be a symlink to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux.

Subject: KDE vs GNOME: specific issues
Date: Sun, 05 Nov 2000 18:47:30 GMT
I need to choose either GNOME or KDE. I will be doing computationally
intensive C++, with very heavy disk I/O. Results will be displayed in 3D
preferrably with OpenGL.
1. Are GNOME and KDE C++ and/or object oriented? How will this affect
developing with C++?
2. I know GNOME has gtkglarea; does KDE?
3. What else should a C++ developer know?
Thanks!

It sounds like you already have it. Does it show up when you do a
ls -l /usr/lib/libbsd.a
?

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a new PC with two processors in it, does anyone
have a suggestion for a dual processor motherboard. If so what processors do
you use? Do you experience good performance?

KDE is mostly C++ while GNOME is a bogus, bloated, pseudo-object
oriented hack.

Make a choice and go with it. I use gnome, but am thinking that I should
switch back to KDE. For looks, I think Gnome is better looking, for
software design, I think KDE is better.
