Linux administrator is needed to join the team that will give various
services on the web. Administrator will work part time at home. No fixed
salary. Share will be given from revenues obtained. Because projects are new
you may not get very much at the beginning.

I am installing Slackware with the bare.i bootdisk from the
slackware-current
directory. I get the boot: prompt. I hit ENTER, and I get an error
message reading "Block move error 0x01". What does this mean, exactly?
I've installed Slack on several other systems and have never encountered
this error.

Hi,
I am having problems with squid in httpd_accel_mode. I have a gateway
machine with squid in accel mode which also acts as a web cache, like this
st-lukes.portsmouth.sch.uk st-lukes.local
Internet ------> Gateway machine ---------> Local subnet
the problem is that people from outside can view the webpage and people in
the local subnet cannot they get a access denied err message. I have checked
the acl's and they are fine, i have even tried....
acl all 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
http_access allow all
but nothing! I get a forwarding loop but that should not cause the problem
should it? Please SOS....

Yes, I'm asking out of experience with Applixware 4.x.y which worked

glibc functions on x86 architecture allow access to the
high precision clocks on the CPU - with nanosecond resolution.
But with a standard kernel on a relatively unloaded box that
comes out to around 1 msec. With occasional 5-8 msec gaps. But
they are pretty rare.
With the low latency patches an unloaded box can guarantee
less than 2 milliseconds.
RTLinux will do even better.

Try recompiling the kernel and slowing down the "synchronous transfers

Also, make sure that you copy System.map from /usr/src/linux into your

Did you start with "make mrproper" when you started to compile the
kernel?
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
If you have compiled modules into the kernel then you need to remove
them from "/etc/conf.modules".
If you compiled everything into the kernel you need to:
Notice: The steps below are ONLY for kernels with no loadable modules.
(If you compiled everything into the kernel only!)
*** You have been warned! ***
Since you told the kernel what it needs during the configuration section
of rebuilding the kernel, it no longer needs to be told at boot time
what modules to use.
To correct this we want to:
Comment out the line around line 252 in the rc.sysinit file.
(vi +252 /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit):
if [ -x /sbin/depmod -a -n "$USEMODULES" ]; then
You will also need to comment out these lines starting around line 264
in the rc.sysinit file.
(vi +264 /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit):
if [ -L /lib/modules/default ]; then
INITLOG_ARGS= action "Finding module dependencies" depmod -a default
else
INITLOG_ARGS= action "Finding module dependencies" depmod -a
fi
fi
You will no longer need the conf.modules file or modutils, since it is
only used by the kernel to load the modules needed by your system.
rpm -e --nodeps modutils
rm -f /etc/conf.modules

It's probably not important. Standards dictate that a package should have

I'm getting the same error after, I checked the versions of all the
packages in Changes. I already had the modules.conf ppp references, I
re-made the mknod ppp /dev/ppp device...same problem
it dials, its sends my password/usrname... but pppd isnt starting. I even
manually started pppd via minicom..no prevail.
I use a chat script to connect:

this script works fine with linux 2.2.18 with ppp-2.4.0, but under
2.4.0testXX it doesnt work. everything is fine, I have the nameservers
right..everything should connect but it doesnt.
I decided to try out wvdial but it disconnected while trying to dial,
still trying to work out why it does that :) but since it would still use
ppp, I'd prolly have the same problem there..

I'm guessing that the older drive was configured as a master, which
'pushed' the partitions names of the new drive to /dev/hdb?. In other
works, the install was expecting to find the root filesystem on /dev/hda
and it wasn't there and panicked.
The fix is to configure the drive which you want to boot from as the
primary ide master, and the drive you want to copy to as the primary
ide slave, or on the secondary ide controller. Then you mount the second
driver, e.g.:
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
and copy your files to /mnt

Alsasound is running however looking at /proc/asound shows all files are

I suspect you are running X, and attempting to use the alias in
an xterm running bash???
The problem is that your shell is not a login shell. Aliases
are not exported like variables, hence they must be redefined
for each invocation of the shell, but the only shell that reads
/etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile is a login shell. From your
login shell you start X and then start one or more instances of
bash running in an xterm, but these are interactive sub-shells,
not login shells. They will read an init file that is in
variable BASH_ENV, which should be defined in your
~/.bashrc_file, and that is the file where you want to put the
alias. (See the man page for bash for more detail.)
Your ~/.bash_profile) doesn't need anything more than this in
it:
export BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
. $HOME/.bashrc
And then everything else can be in ~/.bashrc and will be read
by all shells, interactive, login, or not.
But if you want anything which should only be done once, when you
login, put that into ~/.bash_profile, not in ~/.bashrc. Examples
might be an interactive selection of terminal types, setting
PATH by appending to the existing PATH, stty or other means of
configuring a terminal, and so on.
