Are you saying that you boot the server up in runlevel 3 and you get a text
command line interface, and then you start your X server and it works and
is faster?

And here do you mean that if you boot the server up in runlevel 5 (using
GDM) that the users get gnome as their desktop?
This would be the normal default behaviour. At the GDM login screen the
user can choose from the menu which window manager they want to use. Also,
once they have logged in they can use the switchdesk utility, available in
the menu or from command line, to switch their default desktop.

Hold on a minute. Some of these simple delicated routers/firewalls do have
a gui. They run a tiny webserver that allows you to log into it and use your

Sorry. I should have added more info. As I mentioned, the system is
an old 486/66 based system with an ISA bus. The controller in
question is an Adaptec AHA-1542CF (ISA to SCSI-1/2). The tape drive
is an old DEC TZ87 DLT drive. The SCSI bus also has an old Micropolis
2G disk for the boot disk and a Fujitsu 4G disk for data. This is
from /proc/scsi/scsi:

I don't have any way to modify the driver parameters for this
controller from the normal kernel config programs, so I don't think I
changed anything. The only way that I could have modified the driver
parameters is by either hacking the source (been more years than I
care to admit since I've done that) or through LILO. I'm using a
pretty vanilla lilo so I don't think that was it.
Digging through /var/log/messages a little more, I noticed the
following:
kernel: aha1542.c: Trying device reset for target 1
kernel: Sent BUS RESET to scsi host 0
kernel: st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key
Unit Attention
kernel: Additional sense indicates Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
I also noticed last night that on boot, when the system goes to mount
the local filesystems (not root) there is a long pause (about a
minute) with nothing happening. During this time the disk activity
light is on.
I'm certainly no expert on SCSI, but I'm starting to get the feeling
that the tape drive is starting to have some problems and minimally
may need to go in for some head realignment. With the "BUS REST to
scsi host 0" message I'm also a little concerned about my boot disk.
I have access to another Fujitsu disk, so I may try swapping that in
to see if that does anything.

Try this:

rpm can work out the dependencies between all these things. Then the
order doesn't matter.

That is definitely incorrect - I reject identd requests (NB reject, NOT
deny so that smtp deliveries don't drag on) and ICQ works fine.
OTOH it is possible that if you're denying identd requests that that is
your problem.......

I haven't found it to be any more or less reliable than v4.x, but
it is... "different." The new interface has grown on me since I
first installed it and the rendering seems faster. My biggest
complaints are that I can't seem to configure it so it keeps all
my preferences from one session to the next. Eg, I don't want
the "sidebar" thing, so I go to "View...Sidebar" and click it
off. Next time I fire up NS6 the friggin' thing is back again.
Same with the "taskbar." Don't want it, don't need it so I turn
it off. Close NS6, reopen it some arbitrary time later and there
it is leering at me again, with it's friend the "sidebar."
Grrr.
And what's with this splash screen that tries (and inevitably
fails) to load "activation.netscape.com" every freakin' time I
open NS6? Online, offine: doesn't matter. It tries to load,
fails and then sits there until I close it manually. If it
weren't for these and other minor annoyances I'd probably be
using NS6 more.

The kernel will start killing off user programs to free space.
Usually this works pretty well and allows you to get things under
control before the system becomes unusable. I have had a
situation involving a serious memory leak that ate up space
faster than the kernel could handle, but that's been the
exception.

I'm with you there. Although CDR's are relatively inexpensive
they just don't hold enough data. Babysitting a backup to feed
it disks whenever it needs one reminds me too much of the days
when we had to backup HD's to floppy disks. As soon as I could
afford a tape drive I got one and never looked back.

The PC partition table can only hold 4 *primary* partitions. One
of these can be defined as an extended partition, which in turn
can hold an arbitrarily large number of logical partitions within
it. DOS/Windows systems which use single letters to refer to
partitions are limited by the number of letters available. "A"
and "B" are reserved for floppy disks, and "C" is usually the
bootable primary partition, so that leaves 23 more that can be
defined as logical partitions inside the extended partition
(yeah, yeah, somebodies going to pipe up and say "you can use "["
or whatever as a drive letter, but that's beside the point).
Linux systems aren't restricted to single characters so the limit
is probably much higher.
One source of confusion is that although Microsoft operating
systems can only boot from a primary partition on the first
physical device, other PC operating systems (like linux, OS/2,
and I think DR-DOS) don't share this "feature" and can boot
perfectly well from a logical partition inside the extended
partition.

Yes, it is possible, but IIRC since DOS has no concept of
ownerships or permissions, the ext2 filesystem is mounted as
"root" with all the risks and dangers involved with root access.

Try this: "cat /usr/share/sndconfig/sample.au > /dev/audio"
It's a little sound clip (it's been on all the RH systems I've

Subject: Re: updating with rpm(s)
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 12:33:42 -0500
Instead of manually using the rpm --install command on each file
individually you can do it with a single command.
Put the rpms in a directory
cd into the directory
become root user
Then use a single command to install, or freshen, or upgrade all the rpm's
in the directory.
example: rpm -Uvh *rpm
Then rpm will start working and will check the dependencies for all the
packages, and if everything is ok it will start installing.
Do a man rpm to learn more about the options. Also you may need to upgrade
your rpm to a newer version to get this to work. You will also have to make
sure that you do not have more than one version of the same rpm, sometimes
redhat will update the same package multiple times. Redhat might release
update package foo-1.0.i386.rpm and then a week later release
foo-2.0..i386.rpm. If you download all the upgrades and issue a single
command it might not work. I just check for and keep the latest versions.
If you want to update packages on at a time I would do it in the order of
date of release, earliest to latest, instead of alphabetical.

Easiest solution: use the kernel RPMs on Red Hat's FTP site
(updates.redhat.com). You can find links to them from the Web site,
where the upgrade is listed under the `security advisories' pages.
The options may not be identical to the old 6.1 kernel (after all, the
new kernel probably has several new features enabled), but you
shouldn't lose any functionality. Be sure to follow the instructions
on the web pages on how to upgrade the kernel. While you're at it, it
would be a good idea to upgrade other packages in your distribution
that have security advisories against them; several packages are
vulnerable to remote root exploits unless upgraded.
If you insist on compiling your own kernel, you can install the
kernel-sources-2.2.12 rpm from your old distro. This contains a file
/usr/src/linux-2.2.12/.config (notice the dot), which contains the Red
Hat 6.1 default kernel configuration. Copy this to the new kernel
source tree /usr/src/linux-2.2.16, and configure the kernel using
`make oldconfig' rather than the usual `make config' (or make xconfig or
whatever). This should then only ask you about how to configure the
new features of the kernel. The rest of the procedure for compilation
and installation of a kernel is also documented on the Red Hat web
pages.
HTH,
Stephen.

The normal home system for Linux files is called ext2 (second extended).
Linux is able to read / write FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. The FAT
partitions are simply mounted into the Linux directory tree.
The NTFS is not so well documented that there is a good file system handler
for it. There is an experimental version of NTFS handler, but I would not
use it for writing to the NTFS. Reading is much less dangerous, as the NTFS
structures are not modified. I use a FAT partition to transfer data between
Linux and NT/W2k.

I can't help but laugh at your request. Is that all you want?
Knowing what you want to do in the big picture, break the problem down into
smaller parts and tackle one thing at a time.
It's relatively easy to do all this. But you will first need to get the
networking to operate properly on the linux machine. Start there, see if
you can get on the network, if you can connect to other machines, use a web
browser or whatever. If you have problems with this then provide some
SPECIFICS and ask for help again.

Hello, I was wondering how to keep StarOffice from starting up when I log
my account in? I mean, it is damned annoying to have it pop up when I don't
need it. Thanks.
