If the disk you repartitioned didn't contain your / partition, no reboot
should be necessary.  If you repartition the disk which contains / and
try to operate on the partitions on that disk without rebooting, you
will most likely get an error message along the lines of "invalid
argument passed to ext2fs library while setting up superblock".

Try the following from a console prompt.

rdate -s -p tock.usno.navy.mil

I use this in a cron job once a week to sync my system clocks and it works 
like a charm on all my RH7.0 & RH7.1 boxes.

Hi:
 I just took the decidion  to get Linux Certified. I have been a UNIX
programmer user for some around 7 yesrs now.
I m not able to decide which Linux Certification to take.
1. RHCE ( Red Hat 302 )
2. LPI ( Level 2 )
3. Sair
4. I also came across some other misc certifications.

I m leaning towards LPI mainly because I can afford the fees of 100 $ for
the exam. But I wanted to ask you experienced guys.

ALso do you guys have any suggestions for the books to use. I was seeing 2
series called EXAM CRAM and EXAM PREP both from coriallis. There were also
some from another publisher ( I can t remember ).

Thanks
sony

Okay, if you are using Redhat 6.2+ or Mandrake, you will need to alter the
file which is located in /etc/sysctl.conf and ensure that you have ip
forwarding enabled in that file as well.

This should then allow the machines to ping one another, providing that all
the machines on the 10.10.9.0 network are using the interface on the router as
their default gateway and that the machines on the 10.10.10.0 network are
using their respective interface on the network.

The path of data should then go like this:

Tracerouting from 10.10.9.1 to 10.10.10.1

10.10.9.1 ---> 10.10.9.254 --> 10.10.10.1
10.10.10.1 --> 10.10.10.254 -> 10.10.9.1

This is where 10.10.9.254 and 10.10.10.254 are the interfaces on the router.

See ya

IIRC, those would be 90K single sided or 180K double sided disks.  Dunno
if modern hardware would even know what to make of those.

Now we're talking.  Fire up that IIc, connect up a null modem cable
between it and your PC and start shuttling files across.  You will need
a comms program of some kind on the IIc.  They existed, I just don't
recall any.  The Apple might also have some kind of wacky connector on
it, instead of the D-connector that is popular today.  Ask for help in
an Apple related group on these aspects.

Setup is a simplified front-end to install, which allows you to specify
the
location of the menu.lst. However 'install' is a fairly hostile command,
so it
is probably better to arrange things the way 'setup' wants, and avoid
having to
run install.

My Apple ][+ was 125K with DOS (pre-ProDOS) and 143K w/o DOS (single sided
I think).  At any rate, probably not something you could read with a 1.2 M
drive, because the magnetic partical size was too big.  Ah the days of 
having to install a lower case ROM (original display was all upper case) 
and hard wiring the shift key to the game port to use it.

One note about the Apple (at least the ][+) is that display characters had 
the high bit set.  So if you connected the Apple as a terminal it was 
communicating 8-bit, 1 stop-bit and you had to set the PC to 7-bit, 
no-parity, 2 stop-bits to communicate in the same character set.  Not sure 
how it handled binary data.

Well, you'd need a 5.25" disk drive that is A) compatible with the
interface on your machine's motherboard and B) compatible with the
low-level format that Apple used for their DOS 3.3/ProDOS disks.  This
may be a tough call.  The 800K "UniDisk" drives and disks written in
those drives are probably not usable under Linux; the encoding method
used on those disks (GCR) is not compatible with a standard x86 floppy
drive.

If these disks are "normal", that is, formatted with a DOS 3.3 or ProDOS
format, you would probably have the best luck by obtaining a nullmodem
cable, connecting the //c and the Linux box, and transferring files over
that cable.  It might be a bit slow, but it'd work!  You'd need to read
up on mgetty and probably the Kermit program, though.  Not to mention
that nullmodem cables are generally terminated in a DB9 connection at
both ends; special connectors will probably be required to transform the
DB9 into whatever the //c used....

>And what exactly is Apple II emulation and does it "really" work on
>Linux?

Apple ][ emulation is exactly what it says it is.  You run a ][x
emulator program from within Linux; this program creates a private
space where it simulates a 6502/65C02 processor and emulates all the
opcodes and the hardware features of the Apple ][x you've selected.  The
wonderful 3-bit color of the //c's "HGR" mode can be displayed in a
window if you're running X, and there are hacks to pass joystick and/or
mouse input and use files on your Linux partition as emulated 5.25"
drives.  Go to http://freshmeat.net/ and search for "kegs", you'll find
a lot more information there.  HTH, bonne chance, please report back to
this group and/or me if you find anything helpful or useful.

(I did *NOT* learn to love computers from an Apple //c, Apple LOGO, and
the Beagle Brothers.  Nope, you're thinking of some other guy who calls
himself "Dances With Crows".)

Could be a problem with the "su" binary itself.  On a SuSE 7.0 system
(kernel 2.2.18), issuing "su -" as root merely re-reads root's
environment and cd's to /root .  You may want to try "strace su -" and
see where it dies; perhaps you've found a bug....

In /etc/modules.conf :

But you should compile ISO-8859-1 DOS codepage support as a module or
something if you can.  Might be useful for any DOS filesystems you have
around.

Are you connected to your cablemodem via a USB->Ethernet interface?
Those things are a bit of a kludge and may generate spurious error
messages sometimes; there's a reason why many of the USB->Ethernet
adapters in the kernel have "EXPERIMENTAL" by them.  If that's not it,
then there may be something in hotplug's configuration file that's
associating the wrong driver with your USB->Ethernet interface.

RHCE is strongly biased towards Red Hat Linux, primarily expecting
that you be familiar with the Red Hat admin tools.  If you prepare for
this, it's not of much help if you wind up using some other
distribution, or some other Unix-like system.

LPI hasn't even issued beta versions of any of the "Level 2"
certification exams; they have only the two "Level 1" exams at
present.

Sair has a more extensive set of tests.  Like the LPI ones, they are
distribution-neutral.  They seem to be pretty proud of not having done
psychometric analysis to evaluate how the measurements of the exams
work, which is a somewhat controversial matter.

It all sort of begs the question: Do you have someone in mind that
would regard these certifications as valuable?  I still remain
skeptical that the certifications are _specifically_ of value.

There are businesses trying to sell training programs, particularly
associated with the Sair certifications.  

Unfortunately, one of the major embarassments of the "Linux community"
has been that a consulting firm was pushing for would-be "employees"
to pay for training courses to prepare for Sair certification,
essentially presenting the opportunity that a condition of employment
would be to pay them several thousand dollars for training courses.
That can turn out nothing but badly.

The "Exam Prep" book looks OK, but the "Exam Cram" books were pretty
rushed, and have quite a lot of errors.
