I had made a zip file using PKZIP for DOS. I wanted something out of it
while I was running Linux and tried gunzip on it. The filename is INT.ZIP
gunzip successfully extracted the first file out of it, then it said
something like multiple files found, skipping the rest. Then I thought
there must be an option to tell gunzip to extract multiple files, and
that I could use it on PKZIP files.

I don't run Gnome or KDE. Both of them try to second
guess what the user wants or needs. I tried KDE for
about 15 minutes before deleting it. I gave Gnome about
two days.

I think that reference goes back a lot longer than a few
days... probably back to the install CD.

Subject: relative adressen bei jmp mit as?
hi,
ich weiss nicht mehr weiter.ich habe es auch schon nach
de.comp.lang.assembler.x86 geposted, aber da sind zu wenig linux benutzer.
ich will ein relativen jmp 7 adressen vorw�rts machen, und dann wieder
per call relative zur�ckspringen, so dass ich meinen eip auf dem stack
liegen habe.
jmp
7
pop
%esi
call
-12
das hat auch immer funktioniert, nur jetzt habe ich mein linux neu
installiert, und jetzt funktioniert es nicht mehr. der as macht daraus
einen sprung zur adresse 0x7. wie bringe ich ihm aber ein relativen
sprung bei? wenn ich das alte assemblierte programm starte funktionieren
auch noch die relativen spr�nge. ein
jmp
+7
hilf auch nicht.
(ich ben�tige relative spr�nge f�r einen bufferoverflow, der im rahmen
einer studienarbeit entwickelt wird)
ich verwende as 2.10.90 unter mandrake7.2 mit dem kernel 2.4.0.
auch unter suse 6.4 mit as 2.9.5 und suse kernel funktioniert es nicht.
ich weiss leider nicht mehr welche as version ich auf dem alten system
(redhat6.1de mit kernel 2.4.0-test10) hatte. ich hatte aber den gcc
2.95.2 mir selber kompiliert. ist da auch immer ein "neuer" as dabei?
auf einem alten notebook mit suse 6.2 und as 2.9.1 funktioniert es.
ich denke es ist unabh�ngig vom kernel. an der cpu liegt es auch nicht.
es w�re mir auch schon geholfen, wenn mir jemand die homepage von as
sagen w�rde. auf www.gnu.org wurde ich nicht f�ndig. ist das kein gnu-tool?
bin f�r jede hilfe dankbar.

gunzip and unzip are two different programs which use
different compression algorithms. For files compressed with
DOS PKZIP or Winzip, use unzip.
Iow, unzip *.zip files; gunzip *.tgz or *.gz files.

Is that a literal transcription of your /etc/fstab? Do you really have a
blank line preceeding the 5 lines that no longer work, or did
cut'n'paste put a blank line in there?
I'm not an expert on the format of /etc/fstab, and the man page doesn't
speak to the validity of blank lines, but on the off-chance that blank
lines somehow cause problems, try removing the blank line that seems to
preceed the /dev/fd0 entry and see what happens. At worst case, nothing
changes and the problem remains, but at best case, it _might_ fix the
mount problems.

dialpad.com offers free long distance calls over the net using their java

just format the windows partition as u want and then seek out bootmagic from
powerquest and install this on your new windows installation it works very
well and you will be able to boot all partitions from bootmagic which has a
nice colourful screen boot prompt from which you can choose to either boot
linux or windows. I boot three operating systems from it and I think that it
is a bit more cheerful that just a boring lilo boot prompt. :-)

Hi,
According to Mandrake Update, openssh* packages have security issues,
so they have to be updated to openssh >= 2.3.0
Now, some of these packages require glibc-2.2 (I have glibc-2.1)
I can not do
rpm -Fvh glibc-2.2.1-4mdk.i586.rpm
because dependencies will be broken.
Since glibc is so vital, I'm little bit reluctant to use --force and
--nodeps. Should I do it?

Or rather, make the individual files in /var/spool/mail symbolic links
to the respective files from the NFS mounted file system. That way
the files which are not on the NFS file system can remain real files
in the real /var/spool/mail.

Agreed. Also, NFS file systems have problems with file locking which
could create relaiability problems.

LVM (Logical Volume Management) doesn't try to be the same as RAID, though
there are some RAID setups that can be "emulated" throught LVM. LVM lets
you have a huge (or not so huge) pool of hardware storage devices (aka hard
discs), and use available space in a very flexible manner. For example,
you can combine all those devices (Phisical Volumes) into a bigger unit
called Volume Group. From a given VG you can create what it is called
Logical Volumes, similar in concept to the partition concept we are all
used to, and create a filesystem over it.
At first sight this could appear as too complex and not very useful, but
what makes LVM valuable is the ability to resize VG and LV on the fly,
with no data loss, apart from being able to make "snapshots" of your
volumes to restore a previous state. Resize means adding and removing
space to/from a given LV or VG, and even add new hard discs to a Volume
Group without problems. No more destructive repartitioning, no more
backing up all your data and then copying it to a larger disk: just
install the new hard disk, add it to the desired VG, and give the LV where
the filesystem is running out of space more megabytes from the VG pool.
LVM lets you combine several hard disks into a larger data pool, where you
can get megabytes and assign them to "partitions", where you have
filesystems. There are options to make a LV take space from various
physical devices at the same time (striping). RAID linear mode is standard
on LVM, because you can "append" partitions one along each other.
