Peter, go screw yourself. Does it make you feel good to hang out in
linux.redhat.install and flame newbies who ask a legitimate question? I said
clearly in my message that I searched for an answer and I apologized if it
was a FAQ. The spirit of Usenet is to help those who politely ask for help.
This isn't your newsgroup. Where do you get off telling me not to post
again? If you don't want newbie questions, go hang out in alt.unix.wizards.
Geez.
That being said... where can I find telnetd and sshd rpm's compatible with
RHL7. And, is there a HOWTO to help me.

Do a web search for 'free shell' or check this list:
http://freeshells.jwdx.com/
But you should be using ssh instead of telnet, if you can.
Putty is a free Windows ssh client that fits on a floppy.

Subject: updating Palm OS via Linux ??
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Martin Brown)
Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 23:49:35 GMT
I'm thinking of getting a Palm III? that has an upgradable OS. I know
there is alot of software to *use* the Palm with Linux. I've searched
freshmeat for Palm software, and AFAICT none of them support upgrading the
OS.
Looking at the Palm website, there are Windows and Mac programs for
upgrading the Palm OS, but none for Linux.
Is there a program that runs under Linux to upgrade the Palm OS?
Thank you.

In RedHat 7, it's easy to check the up-time.
The "System Info" gives a lot of "vital stats", including the up-time since
last re-boot.
How do you check the up-time in Windows 2000 ?

I just installed Debian Linux on my pc which is sharing space
with Windows95, FreeBSD, and Plan9.
I would like to mount my FreeBSD partition/slice from
linux, but it doesn't seem to want to work entirely.
I can mount root but nothing beyond that. I use the
following to mount it:
mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hda7 /mnt
I presume something is corrupted. What is wrong and can
it be repaired so that I can grab some files off it?
Below is some info... I don't know how to interpret it.

Hello, I am having strange problem with cdrecord. I can write data CDs
without any problem. But I can not write audio CDs. The problem is buffer
underrun. When I write data CDs fifo never gets below 90% but for audio
CDs it stays at about 5-6% and fails .... The cdrecord documentation says
that if fifo is below certain range then it might be hardware problem. But
then the same hardware is able to write data CDs.
HELP PLEASE...............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put together apt-get with RPM and you have a _route_ to _eventually_
getting many of the merits of Debian.
But a big chunk of the merit of Debian comes from the fact that there
are the hundreds of developers responsible for managing those
thousands of packages. And that doesn't come "freely" or quickly.
If Red Hat (or Mandrake or SuSE or ...) took on a similar sort of
"evolutionary process" for the production of their packages, then
combine _that_ with the dependancy checking of apt, and you'd have
something comparable. But I suspect that setting up such a process
would take multiple years...

My rpm-database is defect:
I cannot install several packages. These packages I can see via rpm -qa
multiple times. I cannot deinstall them as rpm -e gives me a "is not
installed".
When I want to install them rpm consumes all of the memory and swap
after it had written the package to the disk (could see this with a rpm
-ihv ).
The *.rpms are OK.
How to correct the database???
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for all the suggestions but my problem is my work uses Windows NT
4.0 w/ SP6 so the only way I can get to an outside mail account is with
telnet. They have a policy against installing our own software and I don't
think the SysAdmin would do it for me.
I did find a couple of free shell accounts sites that I will look into
further.
Again, thanks for the help,

Well, I just paid about $350 for the M-Audio Delta 66, so I don't think
that's the problem :-)
I also tried the "realtime" option on XMMS, but it didn't help much.
