Cool!!!! I was just about to download the latest 2.4 kernel sources
(been running the 2.4-test series for a while).
I'm going to install it on a spare partition and really test it
out before trusting my development enviroment to it.
Thanks,

Many distros' rescue systems leave something to be desired. A message I
read the other day said that RH's rescue system didn't have SCSI tape
support available, either. The top link leads to the "emacs" of Linux
rescue systems, while the one at the bottom leads to the "vi". It's
often handy to have one or both at hand, and yes, these have all the
standard device nodes, tar, SCSI tape support, common SCSI and Ethernet
card support, and the Discordian Date Program (fnord).

The modules for PHP with Apache are contained in the rpm called "mod_php"
(or something similar). The "official" php for redhat 7 is available at
redhat 7 errata (go to http://www.redhat.com/errata) as well as the mod_php
rpm to go along with it.

I'm not sure if RH7.0 supports ATA100
Assuming it does, use the first hard disk for windows, the second for
linux.
Install windows first, then linux.
You do not need a common partition for both disks. Just make sure the
linux installer doesn't wipe out the windows disk -- this usually means
choosing "custom" or similar from the install options.
Hope this helps

Right. That is why unidentified strings of digits with dots here and
there in them is not really a satisfactory way to identify an OS, a
kernel (if you consider the term OS to include more than the kernel), or
an environment.
Even if I say I am running Red Hat Linux 6.0 with a
kernel-2.2.14-VA.5.1smp, you do not know what I am really running, but I
spare everyone my posting of every package installed on this machine.

I used to work somewhere where we used a volcopy utility for backups.
Our machines had three removable pack hard drives, and one was a hot
spare. We did a volcopy /dev/hda /dev/hdc (or the equivalent in those
days), and it made an exact copy of what was on one drive onto the
other. We did it because it was very fast (because it pretty much
skipped the Unix file system and just copied disk blocks in order.
One disadvantage was that if there was fragmentation, restoring left the
fragmentation in place. The advantage of doing a find | cpio was that if
you then did a mkfs onto a damaged (by software errors) drive, and a
cpio back, the fragmentation was removed. If Drive Image does what
volcopy did. (I notice that volcopy no longer exists. Probably just as
well.)

There do appear to be _some_ at least _faintly_ credible people
working for them.
My suspicion is that they've fallen over the same line LinuxMall did
when _they_ made the error of getting excited about selling prepaid
legal services.
The company makes a "reasonably serious mistake;" this does not
prevent them from actually having real products, and actually selling
things that people find to be of value.
But by "crossing the line," they have successfully attracted the
attention of some people that will be implacably and perpetually
critical, regardless of whatever they may ever do that _is_ credible.
Remember, this is Usenet, where anybody can say anything, however
incredibly inane...

"Sucks" is pretty nonspecific :-). One _major_ problem with
Enlightenment is that it is, fairly intentionally, a _severe_ resource
hog. If you go with the k001 themes, can consume _vast_ quantities of
RAM, and be very slow unless you've got _seriously fast_ graphics
hardware. [I'd not want to run it without having at least 16MB of RAM
on my card...]

Both Gnome and KDE are suffering from the problem that they are both
evolving systems. As a result, it is to be expected that new releases
of components may not interoperate well with older releases of
components.
If you try to run new KOffice components using old KDE libraries,
you'll likely have just as many problems. If you try to compile bits
of KDE with different releases of GCC, it is _guaranteed_ that you'll
get a dysfunctional jumble because the ABI hasn't stabilized, and a
timetable is not yet out for when to hope for that stability...

Okay... that makes sense... I misspelled NULL. Duh. But what does the
syntax "2>&1" mean? And you put the whole thing around parenthesis, except

Subject: Problem installing WindowMaker in Mdk 7.2...
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2001 14:44:42 +1100
I've installed - or thought I had - WM, but 'switchdesk' tells me
"WindowMaker not installed!".
The WindowMaker rpm is DEFINATELY there. Is there anything I'm
missing? Is 'wmakerconfig' actually a part of WindowMaker? I
installed that as well, after satisfying a dependency by installing
'lynx' as well, but still the same message. This one's got me
scratching my head. I have run /usr/bin/X11/wmaker.inst but I still
get told "WindowMaker not installed". Grrr...

You could, you know, read the rest of the thread.
The person who started this had a logging bug that was creating
literally thousands of zero-length "log files", using up all his
inodes. He wanted to delete them, but there were so many that shell
globbing produced an argument list that was too long.
