When stuff gets done on my system such as job notification from CRON
that the job was completed, I get an email to root. I have cron jobs
that run every hour, so after a day I get around 50 emails that I delete
by hand. How can I surpress certian system emails such as CRON job
emails? Thanks

I've been jumping through similar hoops to John Beardmore. I have at
work the following ex-VMS Alphas -
AXP0 DEC 3000/400 Turbochannel workstation
AXP1 4100/600 ancient server
AXP2 2100/4 dual-processor Sable server
Linux does not run on the workstation but NetBSD does. NetBSD does not
install on either server. So he's right - the 2100 isn't supported.
I believe the two servers are supposed to be able to run Linux but I
haven't had any success getting it installed yet. I've tried Debian 2.1
and an old RedHat 5.2 CD distribution. I get completely fogged by the
boot processes.
However, the "Jumpstart" CD that was referred to on this newsgroup does
allow me to partition a disk and even run a shell. The instructions that
it gives for booting a CD distibution don't work with either of the CDs
that I have. (Kernel panic or plain CPU halts). I've ordered a RedHat
6.2 kit and shall try that before I give up.
I might go back to Compaq and ask whether there are any educational
deals on cheap OSF/Tru64/whatever licences.

Hello,
My machine (a linux box) is located inside a campus LAN which use
DHCP for configuration. And the IP address I get is a valid
IP address on Internet (Not IP addresses for internal use).
However, I still have to set the proxy setting in netscape in
order to browse the internet. And I am not able to telnet
from the console. When I use "ping www.yahoo.com" on the console,
it just says ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com.
I am new to network. But since I have a valid IP address and
the right gateway setting, it should be able to connect to
the internet directly. And this shouldn't happen. Am I right?

I have set up several user accounts on my linux box that are only for

have setup diskquota to notify people when they login that they are
reaching their limit of space, but acccording to the documentation, it
only notifies people when the login. Can I make diskquota send an email
to the user on the local machine, so they can see the message from their
mailboxes? If you can't do this could you give me some ideas with
examples on how to do it? I'm sure you could probably write some bash

I'm having the same flashing text screen and no keyboard issues

under the text and graphics, but as soon as the install is
completed and the computer is rebooted is when the problems start.
If I choose to login using text mode.........
* the screen flashes and the only time the keyboard works is in
between the flashing when the words are visible.
If I choose to login using graphic mode.........
* everything is in 16 colors and I have no response from the
keyboard what so ever. I have gone in the desktop to change
the video setup but was unable to type in the new information.
This is on a fresh install where linux is the only thing on this

Subject: DHCP help
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 16:50:21 GMT
I'm trying to get my RH 6.1 system to talk to a broadband modem (this is
a wireless connection, but should be the same as cable). Works fine in
win95. The card seems to be recognized fine at boot, except the
interface won't come up. The card does come up with the correct IP Addr
shown in an ifconfig eth0. When I try to bring it up as a static IP
addr I get an error that the network is down. If I try to use dhcp, I
get a "SIOCIFFLAGS Resource temporarily unavailable" error. This occurs
whether using pump or dhcpcd. I've tried using both netcfg and a manual
ifconfig. I tried setting my hostname in /etc/hosts to both a fully
qualified name and just the name I was given by the provider. I've read
the dhcp howto. I'm out of ideas. I know this setup should work - a
coworker uses it as well, but he installed his box with networking
enabled to start with (I only used ppp for a long time). So it is
probably something just not configured quite right. I would appreciate
any help.
