If you want to use such horrible things like Windows, then you need to
set your localtime, otherwise it's a good idea to use GMT for bios time

Why the long command line using tar? What's wrong with 'cp -r source
destination'? The destination doesn't even have to exist first as it
will be created.

There are HOWTOs in the Linux documentation: Diskless-HOWTO and
Diskless-Root-NFS-HOWTO. They discuss the implications of diskless Linux
boxes. There are even instructions for Ram-disk / CD-ROM combination based

You're talking about compiling here, but your subject line implies a link
problem - which is it? Your paragraph above is unclear.
If it's a compile problem, did you do:
man getpid

Oops, yeah I'm using Mandrake 7.2. If I do use local time in the bios
will the system still set up the system time on reboot to know whether
its standard time or daylight savings time?

Not bad ideas, but I'd try something simpler first, such as running
cpuburn, bonnie, and a kernel compilation simultaneously. Oh, and
throw in an scp over the net at the same time. Sometimes it's a pure
pci bus glitch.

The reason I think I can afford to make that assumption, is that I am
working on the basis that I will loose everything at some point. I can
not make power reliable without spending lots of money. Hence, I am
building to be able to loose data without it being a problem. I had a
solution to this, which I will get to that later.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I want total control over the box. It's
hardware, software, configuration - everything. I'm fresh out of
University and miss experimenting around.

Now that is something I had not though of. I was going to have an IDE
drive that would be mounted when the UPS signals "power failure" to save
stuff that needs saving. But that would have been ugly.
However, 64MB for my entire system is a little tight. Following, this
suggestion, I can put all read only data on the RAM disk (such as /bin
/etc /lib and what not) and keep all "dynamic data" on the flash (/home
/var).
That does throw up the question "how late can I mount /var & /home during
boot?" Can I load PCMCIA first, and then /var?
Or does this make sense? The reason I am holding on to RAM disks is that
RAM is cheaper. For ca. $150 I can get 384MB RAM or 64MB Compact Flash.
I'd welcome any and all feedback.

Thanks Charlie,
Don't worry about sounding assumptive of my abilities, I'm a bit
thick, but learning fast :)
However - yes of course I ran lilo after editing lilo.conf!
vga = 9
vga = 122
vga = 0x0122
in lilo.conf returned:
"You passed an undefined mode number." (ouch)
I finally found out (in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/svga.txt) that
the hex mode numbers need to be converted to decimal for lilo.conf,
hence,
"vga = 290" = beautiful screen :O)
Thanks again,
H.
PS While we're on the subject though, I fail to see why I can get all
these nice possible screen modes with with an 8MB ATI Rage Pro, when
not half as many are possible after a scan on my other machine which
has a 32MB Matrox G400 Max....(!) It's all black magic to me.....

Unlike C, C++ compilers require the function prototype to be present.
You need to include <unistd.h> in your program.

Yeah, no prob, the bios time will stay on GMT and system time will be
set according to standard time or daylight saving time ... i use rh7.1

Thanks for your suggestion - I had not seen them. They don't directly
address what I am trying to do (I have no server to run bootp from, for
example). But there is some overlapping where I can get some info in
Diskless-Root-NFS-HOWTO.

Use AutoRPM if you want apt-get like behavior on Redhat or
Mandrake. I use it in lieu of Redhat' and Mandrake's autoupdate
programs. AutoRPM is configurable enough that you can choose
which packages to download dynamicly. Look here

I believe once you fdformat it you will also have to make a file system

man mkfs
and get the options you specifically want... most likely to be dos compat
you'll want
mkfs -t msdos /dev/fd0
But then again.... I've only used mkbootdisk on a blank 1760 disk so I'm

Actually, the question in my mind is, why so much RAM? It's not like
you're going to need a full X-windows suite on your firewall. : )

It can certainly be avoided with ECC, but then again, regular SDRAM is
very reliable. The only time our servers have downtime (knock on wood) is
when we're doing hardware or kernel upgrades.

Yeah. You're being paranoid about noise. : ) Seriously, though, there
were plenty of commercially-built pentiums with passive cooling, they just
have huge beasts of heat-sinks. Compaq did some that way, and so did
Dell. You might still want a quiet fan ventilating the case, or just
leave the side panel off. And you could get away with less than 8 megs
if you really tried, I'd say that 64 or 128 megs would be more than
plenty.

Not being able to configure X is your problem, given that the rest of
the world can! And "dated" software is what is meant by "stable". A
good rule of computer science is not to use a program until it as at
least five (preferably twenty) years old. If you prefer bugs, get
"undated" software.

Let me add some more. I plugged my mouse into a serial adapter

that gpm hangs the machine, but if I disable it, then I can
configure X after using mouseconfig to set the mouse to a

I've heard about Sniffer Pro before...and I'm happy to get a second
good opinion about it. I think I'll give it a try. Ethereal seems to
retain the attention too...but I'll have to get myself a linux
workstation, since all linux servers here runs without a GUI.
And for those asking why I post on a linux newsgroup instead of a
windows one... well... generally, linux people knows both linux and
windows software (and most of the time, prefers the linux one) while
windows people are mostly dumb enough to think that there's nothing
else on earth than windows-based applications. I wanted a real good
opinion on this one...
Anyway...thanks a lot for all the support
