Subject: Problem compiling Ed-0.2
Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 10:10:22 +0100
I'm building a Linux from Scratch system and I am receiving an error about a
function being defined twice while making Ed-0.2
I have tried the copy from both the LFS site and the GNU site, but neither
will compile. I am using the latest versions of both gcc and the glibc
(2.95.3 and 2.2.2). I can't find any patches like the one used to solve a
similar problem in the findutils-4.1 package.
Has anyone else come across this or a way around it?
Thanks
MP

It worked for me too, but it remains the case that 2.96 hasn't been
through the rigorous testing that proper release versions get and so it
is as well not to rely on it exclusively.

Unless, of course, you define "cross-platform" as "Windows and Mac"...
(Though now it appears to be being redefined as "Windows and Linux-x86".)

Well not more than 2 I would presume (to allow for holidays and
illness, etc). At the last company I worked for we administered
about 400 Sun WS and 8 Sun servers. At anytime there were only
2 administrators supporting this environment. There was a third
guy who administered the company's sybase servers. The environment
was telecoms application development. We could install a new
WS in less than 30 minutes. This from unpacking the system through
to setting up the network connection.
Most of the support was helping the developers with SunOS questions.
A funny example was when one engineer asked for help in grabbing
the output from a command run using system(). I asked her what it
was she was trying to do. She told me she wanted to run 'ls' to see
if a file existed or not! If it didn't exist she wanted to create
it. A little explanation of how she could do all this safely using
the open() system call sent her off very happy. Having been a Unix
sys admin for over 10 years I find it a most enjoyable and rewarding
job. You have to love Unix though and it is certainly not a job
that most people want. That's why we are in such short supply. :-)

Over 100 security bugs in Microsoft SW last year. An infamous

looking any better.

You should use the framebuffer for console. Then you can choose a
framebuffer resolution at startup (via kernel command line, see
Documentation/fb/...) or use the fbset program to change the console's
resolution easily. Using it in a startscript may be the best solution.
Ciao, Matthias
P.S. google: framebuffer linux

This could be your problem. 2.4.2 was known to be buggy and could - IIRC
- result in FS corruption. Upgrade to 2.4.4.

Subject: chown in vfat partition
Date: 13 May 2001 21:57:20 +1000
ok i have a file on a vfat partition (windows) it is owned by root:root, i'm
in my users account and i want to own it so i can write to it:
$ su root
$ chown bob:users file
$ chown: file: Operation not permitted
this seems to only happen in this partition because i tried it on other
directories in the native file system and it worked fine.
any ideas? i'm on RedHat 7.0
thanks,
Bob
