Hi.
1) If the kernels are the same, (that is, HW configuration is the same with
all the computers), compile all on one computer, and then copy the entire
/lib/modules/<ker version> and /boot/vmlinuz<the new one> to corresponding
locations in the other computers.
2) If not, you'll probably have to do few compiles, but you can still do
them on the faster machine, and do the same as described above.
3) I would not use 2.3 kernel, but a 2.4. Reliability, and support. I was
quite happy with the current 2.2.17-mdk21 kernel, since it's patched and
good looking (I recompiled it as I wished, but still).
4) Compilation as follows:
make clean menuconfig
(here you state what you want and how you want it. When finish, save the
changes, and continue:)
(for backup purposes - cp /etc/modules.conf /etc/modules.conf.old .If
you're to compile a different kernel then the one you're running then
that's all for that, else, mv /lib/modules/<the current kernel version>
/lib/modules/<dido>.old (you can choose whatever ending you wish. I use
.old)
make dep modules modules_install bzImage
when it finishes (and it's gonna take some while)
cp System.map /boot/System.map-<ker version>
cp ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<ker version>
now comes the fun part :-)
edit /etc/lilo.conf and add entry pointing to the new kernel (I always call
it new, till I'm happy with it), and when you finish, run /sbin/lilo
reboot, and choose the new kernel there, to see it all runs well.
Good luck.

You can set up software RAID (which is what the HPT370 uses anyway), check out

Logical FAT32 partitions always are type 0B.
If cylinders are numbered from 1, extended partitions ending cylinder
1025 (not 1024) or later should be type 0F or 85.

Subject: Re: Converting filesysetem (reiserfs,ext2,ext3).
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 07:43:42 GMT
here is the FAQ off their site.
www.reiserfs.org
We'd first suggest you copy everything on your regular ext2 partition to the
spare partition. If the spare is smaller than your original data, compress
your whole partition into a tar.gz file on the spare partition. After making
sure this worked correctly and all your files are there (and/or you have a
good backup!), copy the /bin, /etc, /lib and /sbin directories (plus the
mkreiserfs utility) to the spare partition. This is in preparation for
booting off that partition so you can reformat the original ext2 partition
as reiserfs.
Next, make a boot diskette with a ReiserFS-enabled kernel on it (don't
forget to run lilo on the diskette!) and make sure it works (so you won't
get stuck with an unbootable system.) After booting this diskette, you
should get a lilo: prompt. Enter "linux root=/dev/hd init=/bin/bash" at the
lilo prompt. Your system should boot and stop at a bare bash "#" prompt.
At the prompt (now off of your spare partition), try tar ztvf to test the
backup archive if you did the compression step above (just to make sure you
can get at your data still.) If you're convinced that you want to go ahead
with the conversion, run mkreiserfs on your original ext2 partition, ERASING
ALL DATA THERE (but you have the backup of course.) Then, mount the new
partition somewhere as reiserfs and cd to the mount directory. Make sure the
amount of free disk space is what you expected (just as a double check), and
untar your backup archive to restore everything.
At this point, your data is on ReiserFS and you should be able to rerun lilo
(make sure your default kernel supports ReiserFS!) on your normal root
partition to get the kernel set up again. Unmount all partitions and reboot.
If everything goes as planned, Linux should say "VFS: Mounted root ... as
reiserfs" at some point, and you should be all set. If the system doesn't
boot, etc. you have your backup diskette and can just boot off the spare
partition to fix things. Make sure you have the right ReiserFS-enabled
kernel installed beforehand and all configuration files (especially
lilo.conf) are up to date.

there was no device /dev/printer in my system and therefore I created a link
/dev/printer -> /usr/sbin/lpr. could it be that this was the reason why it did
print the job after restarting?

i found out how to convert mac-files to unix with an easier way:
the magic word is recode...
recode mac..lat1 xxx.ppd
but that wasn't the solution... the messages are still the same... I changed the
path to be all lowercase and renamed the file to match the path but everything is
still the same... nothing changed with the messages...
could it be that it has something to do with the missing device /dev/printer? how
can i solve that?

That's a nice feature of PM you describe.
It's a great tool, but I doubt it is capable of doing this. (Unless you
have a spare partition, in which case it just requires copying)
And, No there's no such tool.
A PM like tool is GNU parted, but it cannot convert FS's either.

Subject: LDAP, Palm Pilot, Outlook, Mozilla

I would like a way to synchronize my address book with Palm, Outlook
and Mozilla.
I use Outlook at my work (because I have to) and right now I am
synchronizing my address book with my palm pilot and outlook.
At home, I use Mozilla (on RH7) as my e-mail client and I use IMAP to
connect to my mail server. I would like to synchronize my address book
on my palm with my Mozilla address book. Does anybody know if this is
possible? It looks like Netscape used to have some Palm synchronizing
software but this was not carried on to Mozilla (maybe in the future?).
One option I was considering was using LDAP. I think there are tools
that synch between palmpilot and LDAP. And maybe, I can point Mozilla
to get address from my LDAP server. However, this looks like a pretty
complex approach. Is anybody using a setup like this?
Thanks,

Finally solved the problem.
It was indeed the firewall blocking the snmp port.

You can't need it, surely! The maximum address space of a process is
4GB (i.e. 2^32).

Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 09:30:59 +0100
Thank you for your help.
Yes, my bios is set up to use the L2 Cache.
I wrote a small program that runs through an array (512k) and do some
calculations.
A second version does the same with a loop of 100 times.
Running with Windows NT shows the expected result:
The version with 100 loops is faster than the other one because of the
L2-Cache.
Running with Linux (Kernel 2.2.14, Suse 6.4) I got the same result for both
versions.
To check it I disabled the L2 cache in the bios.
With NT I got the expected result:
Both versions need the same time for each loop. With Linux again no
difference.
That's, why I assume that I need another kernel that supports the L2-cache.
Best regards
Ralf.

First, get the following packages from the slackware-current tree:
a1/glibcso.tgz
a1/ldso.tgz
d1/glibc.tgz
d1/glocale.tgz
Then, as root, do
telinit 1
upgradepkg glibc.tgz glibcso.tgz ldso.tgz
installpkg glocale.tgz
ldconfig
telinit 3
That's it, simple, nice and easy. Worked without a hitch for me, YMMV.

I was having the same problem with gNapster until I noticed the program
was trying to download into a directory which I didn't have permissions
for. Change the download directory to something with write access, and
that may solve the problem.
Also, if you're behind a firewall, then you can't get a direct

I am assuming you are using an Intel x86 family processor, better known
as '386, '486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Celeron, Pentium II, or Pentium
III. These are *32-bit* processors. Limited to a 32-bit address space.
2^32 == 4gig. If you really need 8gig of address space (?) you need a
64-bit processor. Get an AlphaStation, SGI 64-bit MIPS, or a Sun
UltraSparc system.
