The way I handle this is to not delete them on shutdown, but on startup
(makes sense in some cases, if you think about it), but that is not
always the best thing to do either.  If they are not named, for
instance, that's tough... and/or, if your process(es) are not
long-running, that is wasting resources.

Another optio is to maintain an instance count in a lock file and only
delete them if you are the last instance, or something like that... be
creative :)

Sounds like you are using Linuxthreads sems?  Or Sys5?  Or Posix?

I normally do /sbin/hwclock --utc --debug --systohc

the --utc     is because I keep my hardware clock in UTC (a.k.a. GMT):
YMMV,
the --debug   is because I like to see what it is doing, and
the --systohc is to put the system clock (the one the date command
normally shows you) into the hardware clock.

Yep, I see the same thing om my RH 7 system. D.....d irritating, and the 
only workaround I've found is right-clicking (or in my case left-clicking) 
on the link and selecting "Open link in new window".

Well, that and using the Opera betas as often as I can :-)

Subject: Migrate to new disk?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 10:20:41 +1300

G'day

I would apreciate some advice on how to migrate my RedHat Linux 6.1
firewall / DNS / Web server to a larger hard disk.  The one it is on now
is almost 5 years old (1.2GB - so not big) and recently started
generating error messages when accessing some (so far non-essential and
rarely accessed) files.

I have a new, 8GB disk to replace it. What I'm not too clear on is how
to migrate the system to the new drive. I have installed the new disk in
the system. I have added an ATAPI ZIP floppy drive. I have a regular
floppy drive.

I had thought I might:

1. Install the same version of Linux on the new disk.
2. Boot off the ZIP floppy and copy all the major directories (/usr,
/lib, /var, /home, /etc) one at time - in case I hit bad files - to the
new disk from the old disk.

Reboot.

Sounds simple. Am I missing anything?  My original disk remains
unchanged, so if I get it wrong, I can just boot from it instead.

Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 21:33:04 GMT

But, if there is a basic problem that the kernel doesn't have the means
to read SCSI, how come the system DOES work when only 1 internal SCSI
drive is installed.  I only started having the problem after a 2nd SCSI
internal disk is added.

What does the ram disk kernel do? Is it a very basic kernel that gets
loaded first and then actually loads the real kernel? Could it be that
the ramdisk kernel could somehow read one internal SCSI disk but gets
messed up when 2 internal SCSI disks are present?  It would have to
somehow be messed only when a new INTERNAL SCSI disk is added because I
have no trouble adding external SCSI disks.

Thanks for your help,
Jeremy

I've been using Win4Lin ( http://www.netraverse.com ) for a while and I
can vouch for the fact that it is a solid, reliable product, and is light
on resources.  We use piii-550 min. CPU, 384/512 MB RAM, and 32MB video
and it it as fast as anything.

It thas some limitations (it only supports pure tcp/ip networking, so
outlook won't work, and only works with win 9x ) but otherwise it runs
great.

We now have 4 installations; it's up min. 8 hours/day doing fairly heavy
computing (autocad, etc.) without a glitch.  Better reliability and speed
than in native windows.
 
Highly recommended and the price can't be beat.

This changes the system date, but not that in your hardware clock (BIOS).

No. That changes the system clock back to the date/time of the hardware 
clock. You did want to write "hwclock --systohc", didn't you?

Subject: newbie rpm question
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 21:55:52 GMT

I was wondering what command I would use to get the destination of each
file in the rpm file. Basically, I need something similar to:

tar -tf file.tar

where it lists all the contents, including directories. I just want to
know where all the files are distributed to. I've read through the man
pages, but I guess I missed it. I've been wondering about it for a while
now. I also have no clue how to get things to register (it seems) with
the rpm database. This makes it impossible to uninstall the packages.
I've chosen tarballs over rpms files because of these problems...at
least I know where tar files go.

I agree on all points.  I've given up completely on Netscape.  Besides the
bugs, Netscape has too much commercial content designed in, which really
rubs me the wrong way.  So, I use IE with Windows (when I need to access
Java or plugins), and Konquerer with Linux.

I've noticed it under the Windows version of netscape. I used to End
task netscape in order to fix it but I've found out that if i just let
it sit for about 30 seconds something happens and so when i click on a
link the page will actually change. i've yet to figure out why it does
it though but i know that you don't have to close netsacpe to fix it, at
least under Windows.

It's the same thing twice, and then two other times, where the last few =

characters are different:

cV^L=B0^K=CD=801=C01=DB=B0^A=CD=80=E8
%c%c%c%.f|%n

  The "perp" is from mercury.ttn.com.tw.  Any idea what this was meant

accomplish?

If your sound card is not generic one, try ALSA.  You can find it in Linux's
mini-howto:  ALSA-Howto.

No. The * matches zero or more times the preceeding TOKEN. In
your case, this is the up and lowcase of the English alphabet.
