Hi!
I was trying to upgrade my Redhat 6.0 to 6.2, but it always failed just
when the installer is going to start installing rpms. The phyton script
crashed, with an error something like: /mnt/.../upgrade.log (I forgot the
exact path) is not found. I already tried to make the file manually while
I am choosing the packages (before it start installing), but apparently it
actually erased the file.
Using GUI or text mode make no difference.
Any idea?
TIA

I have a printer on my machine that I would like to allow another
machine on the network to access. I already use NFS for file
sharing, but what would I need to set up to do printer sharing?
If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd really
appreciate it. Thanks!

I think that means that it couldn't work out what driver to use.
check /var/log/messages for the bootup stuff, see if it finds the
cards and says "uknown".
IF it does, then you have to work out what module to load and
load same, then brtng the network up again.
Do try it with one card at a time.
Check the ethernet howto for info on how to get 2 cards recognised.

as a general rule of thumb I don't do upgrades....
more often than not a upgrade has resulted in me having to do a
complete install anyway, so a reinstall or (fresh install) is a good way to
go...
just put anything you want to save on you're home partition and be sure not
to
re-format it during the install... this will leave you're home partition
untouched
and all the data on it intact...

Hello,
Anyone know if RedHat 6.2 runs on Sparc Ultra1 Creators?
I have two Sun Ultra1 Creators that install RH6.2 and run flawlessy for
about 20 minutes, then for no apparent reason they loop with an ESP0:
errors. The worst part is the disk are wiped out in the process.
I have tried the newest Sparc Kernel (2.2.16, methinks) The weirdness is
that we actually have one machine that seems to be running fine; the
only difference I can see is that is has only 128MB ...
Thanks for the read!

Check out the printing how-to at www.linux.org The high points
are that you have to specify the host name (not the IP address
or the fully-qualified domain name) of the trusted machine
in /etc/hosts.lpd on the print server. If your distro doesn't
use the /etc/hosts.lpd, then it must go in the /etc/hosts.equiv
file. You must develop a printcap file on the trusted machine
that points to the host name or IP of the printserver, and to the
queue of the particular printer name on the printserver that you
will be using under /var/spool/lpd/ And you'll need to create
a print queue directory of the same name with the appropriate permissions
and group ownership on the trusted machine under /var/spool/lpd/
NFS isn't required.
Not much to it, really. Just check out the details in the how-to,
and you'll be network-printing up a storm in no time.

Either you're not being very clear, or you don't understand what RPM

Subject: How to set hardware time correctly from shell?
Date: 28 Jul 2000 05:07:51 -0700
Hi,
It seems like my laptop and desktop Linux machines are constantly
set to the wrong time (because of multiboot OSs all correcting
leap day etc.). In order to reset the time I have to go through
a laborious procedure involving finding a trusted time source and
executing a command like
/sbin/hwclock --set --date="04/09/00 15:41:00"
Question: Is there a simple, single command line way to reset
the hardware clock to the NIST time in Linux?
I checked the FAQ but couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Charlie

Only if you have the line
boot=/dev/hda
up top. The boot= line tells LILO where to put its first-stage loader;
/dev/hda is the MBR of the first hard drive, while /dev/hda1 is the
bootsector of partition 1 on the first hard drive. Make sure that your
boot= is correct if you want to put LILO on the MBR.
If that's not what you want, and you have LILO installed on the
bootsector of a Linux partition, you just need to use Linux fdisk to set
that partition as the active partition. The "standard" DOS MBR code
just jumps to the partition marked "active" and begins executing the
instructions located in that partition's bootsector.

Subject: Changing SCSI Cards - Boot Error Messages - SuSE 6.4
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 20:11:54 -0400
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
I am using the standard SuSE 6.4 Linux 2.2.14 kernel on a clone with an Intel
Pentium-II 400 CPU and Intel 440BX chipset. Nothing (very) fancy.
I recently removed an old Adaptec AHA-1520 SCSI card and replaced it with an Adaptec
AVA-2906 (PCI SCSI card with an Adaptec
AIC-7850 chipset).
I then did the following:
1. I modified the file
/etc/modules.conf
as per the SuSE Support Database
2. I ran the program
depmod -a
as per the SuSE Support Database
3. I changed the variable
INITRD_MODULES="aha152x"
in "/etc/rc.config" to read as
INITRD_MODULES="aic7xxx"
However, when I boot the system, SuSE Linux fails to recognize the new SCSI card. I
have to run "modprobe aic7xxx" manually to get
my SCSI devices up and running.
In addition, the boot scripts are still looking for my old AHA-1520 SCSI card. Here
are my boot messages (blank lines inserted for
clarity; look for "aha152x"):

What script is still looking for "aha152x"? Or what configuration file is still

I've searched the manpages, looked through "Running Linux" by O'Reilly (great book in
general, but short on some things), and read
the README in "/sbin/init.d" among other things, all to no avail...
Any help much appreciated! :-)

I acquired a copy of Red Hat 6.2 and have been reading up on Linux in
general for quite while. I've got my hardware all sorted out and
identified. Planning on installing next week when my KVM switch gets here.
Rather than dual boot, I'm going to switch between a Win98 machine and the
Linux box so that if I get into a jam during the installation, I can get on
the net for search for help without having reboot back & forth.
I'm fairly adept at Windows. I think this because I had a pretty good
background in DOS before I started using Windows extensively. Along the
same lines, I think I'd be better at Linux if I ignore the GUI interfaces
and learn the OS by getting around the command line first. To take this to
the extreme, I think I'd get better yet if I ignored the RH 6.2 disto and
try to gather all the pieces (kernel, drivers and whatever else) manually
and try to build it up from "scratch". Problem is I don't know where to
begin or what is involved.
If anybody has any recommendations or links to help me get started or wants
to discourage the poor naive fool from melting his brain, I'll listen to
everyone that cares to comment or help.
Thanks

did you make a new initial ramdisk? redhat has a command called
mkinitrd that creates on. you have to have your aic7xxx module in
your ramdisk image.
i don't like initrd since it seems to be yet another fragile link that
must work out for booting. i would just make my own kernel and build
your scsi driver into it. initrds are for distributions who need to
support a wide array of hardware with one kernel setup. let them
worry about that. you only have your new adaptec.

put that in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local? you have an IDE drive so at
least you can boot.

Subject: SCSI Card Upgrade - Boot Error Messages - SuSE 6.4
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 20:50:48 -0400
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
I am using the standard SuSE 6.4 Linux 2.2.14 kernel on a clone with an Intel
Pentium-II 400 CPU and Intel 440BX chipset. Nothing (very) fancy.
I recently removed an old Adaptec AHA-1520 SCSI card and replaced it with an
Adaptec AVA-2906 (PCI SCSI card with an Adaptec AIC-7850 chipset).
I then did the following:
1. I modified the file
/etc/modules.conf
as per the SuSE Support Database
2. I ran the program
depmod -a
as per the SuSE Support Database
3. I changed the variable
INITRD_MODULES="aha152x"
in "/etc/rc.config" to read as
INITRD_MODULES="aic7xxx"
However, when I boot the system, SuSE Linux fails to recognize the new SCSI
card. I have to run "modprobe aic7xxx" manually to get my SCSI devices up and
running.
In addition, the boot scripts are still looking for my old AHA-1520 SCSI card.
Here are my boot messages (blank lines inserted for clarity; look for
"aha152x"):

What script is still looking for "aha152x"? Or what configuration file is still
looking for "aha152x"? How do I point the script or config file to "aic7xxx"
instead?
I've searched the manpages, looked through "Running Linux" by O'Reilly (great
book in general, but short on some things), and read the README in
"/sbin/init.d" among other things, all to no avail...
Any help much appreciated! :-)
Thank You,

Sure there is - straight twm - been using it for 10 years[*] and
have no need for all the desktop clutter, sound, moving menus,
themes, etc. *tvtwm is available to provide a virtual screen
larger than the physical screen for those who need such.

[*] before that it was, if I remember correctly, uwm.
(and yes, I've tried gnome and kde)
Besides, twm is available on _every_ unix system.
