hello,
i have red hat 6.1 and am using gnome.
i followed your instructions, using linuxconf, and it seemed to work
until it said that the vfat file system is not supported by the kernle.
what did you do to make the kernel support it?
i would appreciate replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so i can
solve this.
thank you so much.

OK. That was good.
Any suggestions as to how I could find out if my instruction
requirements
fit in the cache or not? Not too sure how it is distributed.
Overall though, I still expected better performance just from faster
speed.

Subject: syslogd fails on startup
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2000 22:24:03 GMT
Red Hat 6.1 says it fails when starting the system logger. I believe syslog
consists of two daemons: syslogd and klog. The latter daemon starts fine;
however syslogd states that it fails.
Syslogd has a PID and appears to be running in the background according to a
pstree. However, the logs all are three days old and the 'messages' log
ends with an ANONYMOUS FTP LOGIN hostname.domain.xx followed by garbage
characters.
Looks like security was breached. Please help! As a newbie, I am at a
loss, and any advice would be appreciated at this point.

No you don't need them. What you should have is in /boot
your kernels and the System.map.xxx for each. Also in boot you
should have a file called made by lilo and a file boot.b.
On my box I have sym links in / directory to the kernels here's
what my lilo.conf looks like
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda1

map=/boot/map

I have the same problem and I'm trying adding options in PPPOPTIONS in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp
In the default install the var PPPOPTIONS is not set, but they are used by
ifup-ppp
I tried 'idle 1800' and it seems work ( but only 30 minutes )
I'll try other options

Better than that, try letting isapnp see how it could be
configured automagically. Try running pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf and
see what that gets you. Check that new file to see if it is set up to
your tastes, then run isapnp on it, and see what you get.

But the BIOS time stays correct (even after the jump). My system (HP)
doesn't have an APM-Off switch in the BIOS, and because I dual boot W2K
cannot use the GMT Option.
