If I'm typing a lot, that is too many keystrokes.

I use

cat | gzip -dc > binary

and type in the compressed representation of my binary directly.

I get an Internal Server Error when I try to access /examples on my
domain, I can't seem to find any relevant errors in apache's error log
or the logs for tomcat.  Am I looking in the right places? are there
other logs that might tell me more info?

maybe Tomcat isn't running . . . how do I tell if it is or not?

ok, so I can't see it (8007,8009 are my tomcat ports), have you any

well, I added "TOMCAT_HOME/bin/tomcat.sh start" to my rc.local file
(that line is how I start it manually) but that didn't work.  So, it
made my rc.loacl look like this:

...
# import daemon function
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Start Tomcat for Servlet/JSP support in Apache
  # paths setup
TOMCAT_HOME="/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1"
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.3"

CLASSPATH="/usr/java/jdk1.3/:/usr/java/std_ext/jaf-1.0.1:/usr/java/std_ext/javamail-1.2:/usr/java/std_ext/jce1.2.1/lib"
PATH="$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin:/usr/java/j2sdkee1.3/bin"
export TOMCAT_HOME JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH PATH
echo -n "Tomcat startup . . . . "
  # call startup script
daemon /usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/bin/startup.sh -D
...

I use the startup.sh script here as I'm not sure whether I can use a
script that needs parameters with the daemon function.

on startup, it prints:
Tomcat startup . . . .                  [ Done ]

and in the /var/log/messages:
local: startup.sh startup succeeded

but it doesn't respond to requests.  Also, when I start it manually, I
have a LOT of java processes running, when I try to start it like this,
I have none. (as root: 'ps -aux | grep java')

if I now call TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh, I get a
java.net.ConnectionException: Connection refused, which I take to mean
that Tomcat wasn't actually running,

I need servlet/jsp for a couple of the sites I'm going to host and I'd
like to have it start on boot so i don't have to remember to start it al
the time.

Right.  The source code for Linux is massively backed up redundantly. 
*I* have several kernel  sources on several different sorts of media
here in Wendell, MA.  There are several more copies at UMass, Amherst. 
There is a copy on a server of mine in Greenfield, MA.  Every person on
this news group with a proper Linux install has a copy of the source
code.   It would take a disaster of truly *global* proportions for the
source code for the Linux kernel (or any of the other parts of a typical
Linux distribution) to be completely lost.  All it would take is a
major local disaster in a small town in the state of Washington for the
source code for MS-Windows to be lost...

Try this instead:

        time dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024

Try varying the 1024 from as low as 512 to higher powers of 2 to see how
it affects performance.

BUT ... using either dd or cp, you've got the disk buffer cache involved
in this copy operation, so any other disk I/O being done will bias the
time the clone operation takes.  It may not matter, but you might want to
try removing the buffer cache from the equation by using raw disk I/O.

If you have a kernel with Stephen Tweedie's raw disk I/O support in it
(you do if "grep raw /proc/devices" shows "162 raw") try this:

        raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda      # <- Type this only once per boot.
        raw /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdb      # <- Type this only once per boot.

        time dd if=/dev/raw/raw1 of=/dev/raw/raw2

But you will need to get a version of dd that aligns its read/write
buffers on modulo 512 byte boundaries or it will fail.  At this page:

        http://www.torque.net/scsi/linux_scsi_24/rawdev.html

is a good description of raw devices.  The lmbench performance analysis
tools at:

        http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/

contain a version of dd that works with raw devices (the traditional dd
doesn't align its read/write buffers on 512-byte boundaries, which is
required by raw devices, since they DMA directly into user space
memory).

Keep in mind this warning (from the above Web page):

        "If a block device is being accessed via a bound raw device and
        also via its normal block interface then there is no cache
        coherency between the two access mechanisms.  For example if
        /dev/sda1 was both mounted and being accessed via a bound raw
        device then there could be data inconsistencies."

Just curious: does /dev/sda contain any mounted filesystems during this
cloning operation?

mount it whereve u like. Redhat should have told you hdb, hdc or ..
Format the disk [mkfs or similar] before mounting.

Depends on what your dhcpcd wants. Won't hurt to create one.

I am running dhcp-3.0b1pl12-4mdk rpm on my firewall box
on eth1 because I want to be able to get in on eth0 from my other machine
if dhcpc fails and I have to set it static.

No telling. Have seen posts in athome.discussion-athomesvc with
a few areas having dhcp server problems. Mine had been out for 6 days once.

man dhcpcd    for my dhcpcd release shows

FILES
       /etc/dhcpc
              directory used for storing files created by dhcpcd

       /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-<interface>.info
              file  in  which  dhcpcd saves the host information.
              The word interface is actually  replaced  with  the
              network interface name like eth0 to which dhcpcd is
              attached.

       /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-<interface>.exe
              file which dhcpcd will try to execute  whenever  it
              detects a change in IP address.

Linux supports MO disks.  Whether you need to install a driver or not
depends on the interface the MO disk uses to connect to the host system.
SCSI MO units should just use the standard SCSI disk driver, which you
should already have.  Same thing for IDE MO units (do those even
exist?).  Parport MO units may be difficult.  HTH,

no.

This command should be all that is needed:

        /sbin/dhcpcd -d -I CO3001551-A eth1

change the host-ID and interface to suit your system of course.
Run the command, then check your log files.

dhcpcd should also show up with

        ps ax | grep dhcp

Make sure there is only one dhcpcd process.

if you are using ipchains, then this will allow the appropriate 
dhcp transactions:

ipchains -I  input -i eth1 -p udp -s 0/0 67 -d 0/0 68 -j ACCEPT 
ipchains -I output -i eth1 -p udp -d 0/0 67 -s 0/0 68 -j ACCEPT 

change eth1 to your Internet interface.  For better security
also use the host or subnet address of your dhcp server in those
rules.

BTW, you cross posting is excessive, comp.os.linux.x is irrelevant 
for this subject.

The fortran package should be on your install disk. It's called something like
egcs-g77.

It's probably looking for other files. You'd really need the error messages to
even attempt solving this.

BTW, what sort of stuff are you using Octave for? Email at

Thank you Matt.  My MO is an Buffalo USB external, 640 mb.
Although the usb hub seems installed in both RH 7.0 and 7.1, I could not

Is there any source of guidance elsewhere ?

Thank you for any help/advice.

You're not getting the lease...  I can send you the ifup script I'm using...
it works like a champ...
As I recall, the script out on the net needed a bit of tweaking....

Could anybody tell me how to setup TOMCAT
to start on boot up? I have tried adding scripts
to the rc.d directory but there is completely no
trace of it running.
