It appears you are missing files needed to compile devel stuff. In this
case, XFree86-devel, for the particular version of X11 you have. You
might find what you need based on:

I'm new to the linux world. Right now, I'm running RedHat 6.2. Are there
any tools out there, freeware or otherwise that will allow you to
generate a system recovery tape that is also bootable (from a DAT tape
drive)? . I would like to have something like this in the event I need
to restore my system.

Hi,
I am having two directories /usr(/dev/hda6) which is almost got filled up,

Thanks. I use Suse on my desktops and never thought to check
Slackware. 4.0 looks like it will do for me. If I need to download and
install perl and apache separately, that is no problem. Ok, off to read
more about slack 4 and do a little downloading. I just might get a

Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2001 17:34:48 -0600
I have a Sony PCG-F430 as mentioned in the subject. I am trying to get
my sound card to work under linux using the ALSA sound driver. ALSA does
provide the module for this (ymfpci.o). But after compile, I am a little
lost on how to enable the card in modules.conf.
The README mentions stuff about OSS Free support and things like that.
Anyone know what I need to do?
I tried running sound setup using linux's "setup". The module it
recogonizes is ymfsb.o
This eventually doesn't work on boot-up. Instead it totally hangs my
system. Has anyone set this up? Any help would be REALLY appreciated.
thanks in advance

Have you read the instructions? The ftpd man page tells you how to set
up the server.
Frequent gotcha's are
1) not listing the users shell in /etc/shells
2) having their shell be an link

I thnk a lot of C++ gurus would be stunned to learn that C++ has
any garbage collection whatsoever. Anyway, depending on the complexity
of the needed driver, writing in C++ isn't that much of a big deal,
although if one uses *inheritance* or *polymorphism* to construct a
driver, they're probably way over-designing the thing. Better to do
your interim data structs as structs and do some standard C object based
design.

Subject: problem due to deleted inodes
Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2001 18:53:24 -0600
Hi,
I am a novice Linux user. My laptop running RH 7.0 was improperly shutdown
a couple of days back. The next time it booted, it prompted me to run
fsck. I ran fsck and (foolishly!) deleted a whole bunch of inodes.
Now I find some files missing - like /usr/bin/grep, /usr/bin/egrep, etc.
The windows manager I had installed - Fvwm2 (?) also seems to be missing
and hence X uses some other window manager called Twm. I am not sure abt
any other damage to the filesystem. Most of my program and data files
*seem* to be unaffected. The gcc and perl compiler/interpreter I use also
seem to be OK, so thankfully, I am able to continue my everyday work.
(Although it is a pain to use sed -n instead of grep all the time!)
I would like to know if there is any way I can repair this damage to my
filesystem. Should I just re-install the programs I have lost from their
rpms? Run mkfs and restore from backups? Re-install RH itself (!) as
someone suggested?!! Any advice at all in this regard will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Samarth.

If you use Microsoft products you need to have 0x0F for them
to properly recognize their extended partitions. I have win98
on sda but only in one primary partition. The reason I leave it
at 0x05 is because I have OS/2 and two HPFS partitions in the extended
partition. OS/2 will flake out with 0x0F. People blame this
on IBM. I don't know who's at fault. Eventually I plan to move
OS/2 into just one partition to get rid of this problem. But OS/2
will not see it's extended partitions if I change it.

OS/2 boot manager may have done this or it could have
been some other tool. I had System Commander for awhile
but I thought it sucked and took it off. It messed with
"stuff" too much. I also use Partition Magic. It may
have done that too. I don't know. That's easy enough
to change.

I guess so. As I said in a previous post. I have 2.2.14
kernel and it boots fine. I want to use the 2.4.x kernels
now though.

/dev/sdb is the whole disk right? OS/2 bootmanager does
not work that way AFAIK. It needs to point to a partition.

I'll give it a try.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the help. I did add fix-table to the /etc/lilo.conf file and
then ran lilo.
Here is the message from that command:
[root@localhost/root]# /sbin/lilo
Added linux-2.2.17-14
Added dos
No images have been defined.
I rebooted and had the same result as before. There were lots of messages and
some of them
complained about not being able to find libraries for the 2.2.16-4 kernel.
Others announced failure to start this or that daemon.
I then ran
[root@localhost/root]# fdisk /dev/hde
and printed the partition table
and got the message
Partition does not end on on cylinder .
phys = (2, 25, 63 ) should be ( 2, 15, 63 )
There was a similar messages for each of the four partitions.
I would appreciate any additional suggestions you might have.
I have replied to you and to the group.
Thanks for you help.

If your DAT drive is one of those from Hewlett Packard, featuring OBDR
(One-Button Disaster Recovery) presumably this is standard. You write
a backup tape using appropriate software and after you replace your
hard drives (presumed crashed) with new ones, you just put the OBDT
tape in the drive, and hold the eject button in for 5 seconds or so
while powering up the system. The tape drive pretends to be a CD-ROM
and the BIOS should be able to boot from that. The stuff actually on
the tape is all your files (including everything in /dev), and it can
set up all your partitions and everything. Your new hard drive(s) must
be at least as large as your old ones.

Decreasing a partition in size is always a dangerous operation.
There are a handful of programs that can do that besides PM :
http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net/
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/
But I haven't used either one.
An alternative would be to slice up your tmp partition (provided you can delete
everything on it) and create a thrid partition. You could put /usr/local
into the new partition.

Linux is much more stable than Windows. This is for me the main
advantage. AND: You can influence the behavior of Linux much more than
that of Windows. Linux is stronger in networks and internetapplications
(if they do not need to bee too much multimedia like.)
Linux can be used to set up a router (with little Hardware) or even used
as a server for HTTP, File server..
If you still need
1.Professional Grafics Software and Applications
2.Extensive Multimedia
3.DVD support
then try to keep a Windows Machine next to your Linux Box. In a
combination, the two systems are a good team (with one unstable
member..windows).
Try to store an Image of your Windows Machine in your Linux Machine: If
your Windows Box crashes forever, and you have all your personal Data
stored on the Linux box (for example always working over the network),
you can format the HDD of the Win - Box and copy your "perfect Windows
Image" again onto the Win HDD within seconds!

I also have no problem with my 4L under SuSE 6.4. Good print quality.

Try some standard Homepages like www.linux.org.
To get something news like: www.linuxnews.com.
Even at astalavista.box.sk there is a linux box.
There are many adresses in the internet to get informed about linux,
books are often outdated until they are printed...
http://www.suse.com/us/linux/index.html is also very good (a german
distributor) However, if relatives or friends have linux versions of
other distributors, use these, because you can help each other.
Linux is a very professional, stable system, which I can only recommend
to you to use and to inform about!
Greetings Marius

The "cheesy demo", otherwise known as "evaluation-7.1.iso", is basically
the first CD of the 6-CD set of 7.1, plus a couple of freely
distributable commercial programs like Netscape 4.73 and Acrobat Reader.
SuSE do not make their entire commercial distro available as ISO images
because their commercial distro includes payware like OSS.
The evaluation ISO installs a fully functional system. You will have to
fill in the holes from their download site, since everything except the
payware is available there. If this doesn't work for you, try
Cheapbytes. HTH,
