Often a search of well-chosen key words on google will be successful for
something like this - for example:
quota linux source tar
BTW, if your going to study the X Window source, you've got a lot of work
ahead of you. :-)

Hello,
I have installed Suse 7.1 and want
to compile the gcc-2.95, which comes with the cd's.
We have to compile the gcc, because we have a change in the sources.
On Suse 6.4, we have no problems.
On Suse 7.1,
I create an extra directory,
I configure with the default-settings and
I start make.
The error:
libio/indstream.cc, line 82: 'struct streampos' used where an 'int' was
expected.
I look in the headers, streampos is a define of _IO_fpos64_t or anythink
like
this !?
So long

If you don't have a lot of users then you can use "du" to do it.
du -h /home/username
That will show how much disk space the user's home directory is using.

The traditionsl thing is something like
du -sx * | sort -n -k 1
(I don't see that that one-liner needed "help" !)
Or if you are running quotas (as you should be ..), then repquota will
help you.

Subject: filesystem standard
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 11:36:15 +0200
Hi,
maybe this question is a little bit stupid ...
What is the best place to put the htdocs directory
of apache (according to the filesystem standard).
The contents of the directory will change very
fast also will its size increase by 8 MB every Week.
This directory will be writeable by an unprivileged
user ('nouser') because uploads will be done using
the webserver.
I think /usr is not the right place because this directory
should be mountable read-only.
Perhaps there should be created a special-user webmaster,
and then use its home directory?
Or should htdocs placed somewhere in /var ?

I've not used a Zip-drive, but this should speedup any such media in
general(or it'd be more like a workaround):Copy the whole raw disk, say
/dev/zip0 onto your harddisk or ramdisk('dd if=/dev/zip0 of=/var/zipfile'),
mount the file('mount /var/zipfile /mnt/something -o loop'), useit, umount,
copy the file to /dev/zip0(with dd again).
The copy-in and copy-out processes take a long time of course, but should
be faster than reading 250Mb of random-access files from it.
Perhaps, as you say "ide-floppy driver", hdparm can set up write-caching
for it with 'hdparm -W 1 /dev/zip0'. Another thing would be that you should
do the ext2fs with larger block size, as the interleave & stuff of Zip-drive
is propably optimized for FAT-usage.

Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 12:05:59 +0200
HIi,
I'm trying to use the rtl8139 driver with a RTL8139B (96394S1 - 9260TAIWAN)
Chip integrated on a Cyrix ST-3WT Mainboard, and I've got a problem. The
driver module is loaded correctly but the NIC doesn't work correctly: it can
send packets, but it doesn't receive. I'm trying with diferent Linux
distributions (Red-Hat 5.x & 6.x) and with diferent kernel versions (2.0.x,
2.2.x, 2.4.x) and the problem continues. I thought that it was a hardware
problem of the NIC, but in my last trials I tested this mainboard with
Win'98 and the NIC works correctly (!?).
The manual of the board says that is 802.3 and 802.3u full compatible, and
the pinout of the RJ45 connector is:
Pin 1 Transmit output +
Pin 2 Transmit output -
Pin 3 Receive input +
Pin 6 Receive input -
Resting pins are not connected.
Why this card works in Windows and is not working in Linux?? What should I
try?
Thanks a lot.

Either place is appropriate for http docs. The apache docs can be in a
completely different place from your system web home. I maintain
a user called www with his home in the standard place, but keep
other apache files in /var, where it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling
to know that they could dispper in a moment ...

I want to provide some users who can use pop3 accounts but they can't use
telnet and ftp and anything except pop3.
The situation is there exists some users who can use telnet and ftp in the
system. So there is a mix of different users in the system. I think I will
use qmail instead of sendmail. I want to know which solution(easy to
setup,manage,secure) is the best to handle these users.

Attached are (1) my lilo.conf file, and (2) the results of 'lilo -v

I have not had to lie to Windows 95. I just let Windows 95 run the
clock, and tell Linux that the clock is in local time. Works fine for
me, except when Windows diddles to daylight savings time in January
(happened only once): Linux could not handle that, but neither could
Windows, really.
