Do you want to share a printer connected to Linux, or use a printer from
Linux that's available on the network? Also, what protocol do you
want/need to use? (For instance, do you want to share a printer with
Windows, MacOS, or other Unix/Linux systems?)

Subject: Increase RAID capacity
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 18:22:19 GMT
Dear All:
Our Linux system has 100 GB RAID which contains 8 drives controlled
by a Mylex controller. We are thinking to increse the total capacity of
this RAID. Can we just take the old drive out from the enclosure and
install the bigger capacity dirve in, then do the configuration? Is
there any information, such as configuration or whatever, in the old
drive we need to keep except our data . Did anyone do this before? We
are looking for suggestion and experience.
Thanks!

Keep in mind that the D-Link 530TX and the D-Link 530TX+ are different cards
and use via-rhine and rtl8139 drivers in that order.

Subject: Quota Problem
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 14:25:30 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've got a redhat 6.2 server that seems to have some bad quota
information. Each user gets a soft quota of 5MB. When I do
/usr/sbin/repquota two users show up on the report as exceeding their
quota, however, doing a find / -uid xxxxxx with the users uid, it only
returns 8k of files for each users. These users are obviously not
exceeding quota, although quota says they are. I recently did an
updated quota check, and still the same problem. We've also edquota the
users, and the same problem. One wild guess is that someone someone
else's quota information is being reported as theirs. Any one have this
problem, seen this problem? I'd really appreciate any help on this as
well. We also have two invalid users being report with repquota, but
there doesn't seem to be a correlation between the two.
TIA

There is a new scriptable FTP client from the Kermit Project at Columbia
University that you might want to try, which makes automating even the most
complex FTP tasks simple and reliable:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftpclient.html
It's also secure if you build it with the Kerberos, SSL/TLS, or SRP options.

Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 19:44:28 GMT
Hey guys,
First off, let me thank everyone who replied to my question in the thread
about installing a minimal Linux on a laptop dinosaur. :) What I finally
ended up doing was installing Debian 2.1 using CD's I realized I still had
laying about the house. Now, this laptop has the base system for Debian
2.1 installed plus the minicom package. It can dial out fine, and everything
seems to be in order. What I want to be able to do is have it where once
the laptop boots, it'll IMMEDIATELY launch minicom as a non-priveleged user
without any gettys launching. The people who will be using this laptop will
ONLY be needing to use it as a terminal through which to dial up the office
dial-up modem. To say they are computer-illiterate is putting it mildly, so
I want them to have to do as little as possible to access the office system.
(I'm getting tired of them calling me asking questions on the weekend whenever
they use the laptop... :) I figure it's probably something inittab, but the
exact command / setting sequence eludes me. If anyone could give any advice,
I would greatly appreciate it. :)
Thanks in advance...

boy, why is this so hard? what i want is when you do "passwd -S" on an
account, the status shows "password not set", make sense now? you can call it
passwordless, but it's definitely NOT empty password. empty password means
you don't need a pass to log in, you can achieve that by "passwd -d". now you
know how to do it or not?

Yeah, look into apmd. I did a 'man apmd' and I saw some interesting
things:
it looks like there may be some commands: suspend, standby, etc.
If you don't have a man page installed see:

I still have not the slightest idea what you are trying to do. Either
you want a password, in which case it is simple enough to set one.
Or you want to disable a password, so it is still there, but useless
until re-enabled, which is also simple enough.
Or you want no password at all, which is also simple enough, though
unwise.
Yet you deny you want any of these.
So I repeat: WHAT IS IT YOU WANT?

Hi. I'm a little confused about some of gcc's optimization flags.
What is the difference between "gcc -mcpu=<cpu> -march=<cpu>" and

Additionally, what is the difference between the -mcpu and the -march

Date: 28 Dec 2000 20:51:44 GMT
I'm posting this so some poor soul may Deja a solution
to this problem (it may not the right answer but it worked for
me! :-)
I had a problem when I was trying to configure sound on
my machine, I'd just compiled the kernel (2.2.18) from source
and ran sndconfig to set up the sound ... unfortunately it would
not run complaining that soundcore.o was not on the module search
path.
After repeatedly banging my head against the keyboard
(and checking dejanews) I went through the xconfig one more time
and read the help with sound card support option which said that
compiling it as a module created soundcore.o (I had previously
included it in the kernel) sndconfig swallowed the changed version
without a mutter.

look into wget, it should come with the distribution you already have,
but if not check out freshmeat.net and see if you find it there.
its as easy as wget ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/etc...
Very nice, and I'm sure the feature set would kick the ass of any
NT/2000.
You can use http authentication, passive ftp and the list goes on,

I haven't tried it yet myself. But, from reading, I think the Cyberblade
graphics card is going to be the problem.
The graphics memory, on the Presario is 'borrowed' from system RAM. (8mb I
believe). without some very tricky stuff in the X side of things, I don't
expect it to work.
But that never stopped me from tryin.... ;)
I'm interested in what you find out.
As for myself, I'm waiting until I get my full set of restore disks from
Compaq before I try.
The restore disk that came with the laptop is only boot disk that use sthe
image on a reserved partition on the harddive.
Compaq says; "If you delete this partition, your provided recovery disk will
not work."
I requested a two CD set of full recovery disks from compaq and they said no
problem after I promised my firstborn to them.
I'm going to wait...
