There already is a crack. Just a few posts back there was a link to an

Try this: boot your box with the floppy, once it's up type lilo at the
prompt. This may fix your problem, if it doesn't it should give you some
information on what is going on.

No, you setup a virtualHost that is listening on port 443, you can choose

1. get openssl from http://www.openssl.org
2. get modssl from http://www.modssl.org
configure the above with support for your apache and compile/install the
above.
3. Make a cretificate and a CA to sign your cerificate, asuming you want it
only for your private needs and
don't need a commercial signed certificate (verysign...)
4. Configure apache Vhost with SSLEngine On listening on port 443.
As SSL is something not that easy, I would consider that you get a good book
about apache, if you can't figure it out
from the available docs. (Apache Web-Server from mitp, written by Lars
Eilebrecht is a nice read and has detailed
instructions on setting up a SSL aware apche)
Good luck

Make a mount point called c in your / directory and mount the c drive
there. This is of course, if you have a Windows drive on the same
computer as Linux. I used to do this with my Gravis sound card.

For him, fine. For us, the .config is what we need to see.
Obviously (:-), he needs

This is the important part, I think. What happens after a disk has
failed is interesting, but it shouldn't fail in the first place.
Is it always at the same sector? Always the same disk? Is there
something always happening just before these errors?
The message seems awfully short to me, when I get a scsi-error it looks
something like this:
Jan 5 13:13:30 middle kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 6254,
scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Read (10) 00 00 01 a9 ca 00 00 20 00

Jan 5 13:15:06 middle kernel: sym53c8xx_abort: pid=6537 serial_number=6558
serial_number_at_timeout=6558
If it is always the same sector, it still looks like a hardware failure.
If it varies, perhaps a driver / cabling problem?
Good luck,

I've been running 2.3 and 2.4 kernels for quite a while now and I've not
had to install anything from tarballs. Everything you need is in the
archive:
Required util-linux 2.10q-1
Required modutils 2.4.1-2
Required e2fsprogs 1.19-3
Required ppp 2.4.0f-1
> Again, any advice will be greatly appreciated..
Install apt and add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main
As root, type
apt-get update; apt-get install util-linux modutils e2fsprogs ppp
Now install your kernel. I suggest that you use kernel-package.
BTW, there is a 2.4 source package in unstable.

Whenever certain programs save as .jpg the files is very large and will
not open, as if it's not really a .jpg file. Saving as .jpeg works just
fine, but not as .jpg. GIMP will save correctly, but apps such as the
Gnome screen shooter applet won't and neither will the command "import

on any other distribution. Can somone provide any info? Thanks

I don't see what you're lacking in the Linux GUIs.
I use just the Gnome file manager program. I can copy entire folders
with it or just files just fine. What file managers and/or GUIs have you
attempted to use?
>From the command line, you can use the cp command. If you use "cp -r"
you can copy entire directories recursively. If you want to preserve all
the attributes, you can use "cp -a". Have you looked at "man cp"?
The only thing I can think of off hand that my Linux GUI is missing
that's in, say, Windows 98, is the dumb little dog that pops up in the
corner and gives useless help. :-)

hi all
i'm currently considering an upgrade of the c libs (libc 2.1.2) that
are on my linux box - slackware 7.0 dist - by grabbing the bins taht
are dist from the slackare-current archive for which the libc version
is 2.2.1
can anyone tell me if this is problematic just to 'dump' the new bins
onto my linux box... i've had a look at the gnu/fsf site for problems
wrt upgrading glibc but the only issues i found were with upgrading pre
glibc (ie libc.5) to glibc.
any info, pointers would be appreciated

Hi,
I am using Redhat linux 6.2 wiht 10 virutal ip addresses (say
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10) are configured.
I am running a UDP socket program that binded on 8000 and for all IP
addresses. So if I send a UDP packet to either of this address at 8000,
my program will receive the packet. Here I have a problem, I want know
on which IP address I am receiving the packet. For example, if the
packet is addressed to 192.168.1.1 then I want to identify this IP
address in my program.
Is there any solution to find out the IP address where I am receiving
the UDP pacekt ? But I can easily find out the remote address.
Your help is greatly appreciated !

That is incorrect. RMS has nothing to do with "Open Source," and

the idea is at least as old as computing itself.

I've used various ones: Netscape, slrn, Pan, KNode, Pine.
I just don't like the GUI ones:
Netscape: bloated, prone to crashes.
Pan: nice but not stable enough. I think this would be my choice of GUI
reader if it were more stable.
KNode: don't like. Seems far too slow (and I'm on an Athlon 900!!!)
Pine: O.K., but I prefer to keep email and news separate. Not as
repsonsive as slrn.
I always seem to return to slrn: fast, very configurable, stable.

=======================^^^^^^^
I think you will get more accurate answers if you divide
by CLOCKS_PER_SEC instead of CLK_TCK.
You just got (un)lucky that on some systems the
two constants have the same value.
Actually, I write it this way:
t1 = double(tend - tstart)/double(CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
because I want to make sure that I do the division with doubles.

t1 = (tend - tstart)/(double)CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
Ansi C didn't come in until 1989. Your style is considerably older than
that. Even back then, you might not have wanted to truncate to a whole
number. CLOCKS_PER_SECOND is likely to be 1000000, but you might as well
get it the correct way, from <time.h>. The results of clock() are likely to
step by .01 seconds. Caldera is not one of those versions of linux where
clock() is known to be broken. Yes, there are such.
It's not gcc which decides how clock() works. It's glibc. There may even
be a man or info page in Caldera.

Subject: KSIRC Tells Me That DSIRC is Dead...
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 18:41:23 +0200
I am a Linux/RH7 newbie.
I tried to use the KSIRC IRC client. After succesfully getting a connection
to the Internet, I then press on KSIRC, but then get an error message saying
that I the DSIRC is dead, and that I should read the installation
instructions. I can not find any installation instruvtions, except for a
/usr/share/... /ksirc HTML page, whi is basically useless.
Any ideas?

Subject: KPPP Problems
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 18:38:48 +0200
I am a Linux/RH7 newbire, who is experiencing 2 problems with PPP:
I can use the _Redhat Linux_ dialup tool within KDE, with no problem
whatsoever, however with KPPP:
1) I can successfully dialup when I'm root, but from without root I'm always
asked for the root password. Why shouldn't everyone be allowed to use the
modem? How can I enable modem usage for all accounts?
2) After dialing and succesfully connecting, no applications can be brought
up - clicking on their icon/menu item does nothing. On the other hand, if I
already have a console/shell window open, I can execute commands such as
ping, ftp, etc., so I know I have a network connection. However, being able
to use my browser would be nice...
Any ideas?
TIA,

Additionally, if Lilo is already on the MBR, you should be able to use your boot
disk (you *do* have one, don't you) to get into DOS and do an fdisk /mbr to
restore the MBR. Only problem is: this'll work for Win9x - not sure about 2000.
If Linux is screwed such that you can't load it, pop in your CD and autoboot it
(if possible): you will be able to subsequently mount your root partition and
then edit /etc/lilo.conf or lilo -u etc...
