Maybe you should download DeCSS and figure where to put it in the source code
in OMS and recompile.
By the way, the MPAA thinks you are a criminal for using DeCSS just to play
DVD on your linux box.
Hopefully the courts will come to their sense, and make DeCSS legal so we can
watch DVD on our linux box.

Use wildcards:
rm ?7*
They have sticky bits set, don't know if that will matter, could be
lost+found is a special case even for root. In which case you could do:
chown root ?7*
chmod 700 ?7*

He's looking for a program that watches (or supervises?) and
restarts processes when it's necessary - whatever that means.
Suggestion: top to watch them, a wrapper-script to restart, whenever
the process shuts down.

Mit "top" koennen Sie Prozesse ueberwachen, aber nicht neu starten.
Wahrscheinlich waere die einfachste Loesung ein Wrapper-Skript fuer
den Prozess, der ihn neu startet, wenn er sich beendet.
Vielleicht so was wie:
#!/bin/bash
while true; do irgendeinprogrammaufruf; done

Subject: How to create a CD image
The subjectline says it all.
How can I create a binary image of a CD? I tried to use mkisofs but that
program works only like a filecopy. I have a CD that has linked files
and using mkisofs I get an iso that is 850MB big, so I can't burn it.
When using Nero with windows I there is a CD copy mode where such discs
can alos be burned. Is there something similar in linux?
Or is it possible to use:
cp /dev/hdc imagefile
cdrecord imagefile

Hi all,
I just bought a new HD and wanne profit from the occasion to make cohabit a
W2000 OS with a Linux OS.
Since i am completely newbie to Linux i have a few questions.
I guess i have to create 2 partitions on my hd a dos32 and a Linux one is
this correct ?
If yes what is the simplest prog todo so.
What version of Linux should i buy (download) baring in mind that i know
very little of Linux thus asking for the simpliest installation method. (I
know there are quit a few versions out).?
What is the most recent number of this version ?
Where can i buy(download) it ?
Wich OS should i install first 2000 or Linux ? , i am quit used to install
windows versions so no prob there.
Can i use the 2000 boot loader to switch OS at startup or do i need aonther
boot loader ?
Big thanks for anyone taking the time and effort to answer my questions. :)

normal windows data CD's a perfectly good readable in linux.
(UDF formatted ones too, you just need the udf.o module)
mount with FS type iso9660

This is not the case here, since he's getting kernel messages, this means
the machine is already booting and past the stage where it really needs

Subject: How to configure LILO to boot from alternate HDD?
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 03:49:10 -0800
I have two HDDs.
One is on the primary IDE channel as hda. This one contains multiple Linux
ext2 partitions.
The other is on the secondary IDE channel as hdc. This one contains a single
MS-DOS partition.
I edited lilo.conf such that it contains
other=/dev/hdc1
label=MS-DOS
then I ran lilo. It said adding Linux* and adding MS-DOS. I just uncommented
the default lines that start with "# other" and changed the device name and the
name for the OS to load. I'm citing lilo.conf and the lilo response from memory.
If I didn't get it exactly right, that's more or less what it was.
I rebooted, and at the boot prompt I typed MS-DOS. It then said
Non-System disk or disk error
Replace and press any key when ready
I press a key, then it says
Loading Linux...
Uncompressing Linux.................
and boots from hda1. Did I do something wrong somewhere? I want to be able to
choose which HDD to boot from without modifying hdc1.
TIA

Buy one with a book. You'll need it.

They all come with a 2.2.x kernel (x=16 for RH IIRC)
2.4.0 is the newest but you don't need it yet

Buy it.
Bookstores in your neighbourhood, or from the web.

Win goes first, but partitioning the disc is your first task.

You can do both

I may be wrong but it isn't so much redhat as it is wu-ftpd, rpc.statd,
and LPRng which are being exploited. Get any updates that Suse has and
block port 111 if you don't need it. Also disable wu-ftpd & LPRng if you
aren't using them and use a firewall.
