Thanks for replying to both this and my other post. I hve seen the fstab
entries both the way I currently have it and the way you suggest, and I
think I have tried the one you suggest, with the same result, but I will
check it again just to make sure.
I am still suspicious of the 'unsupported file type' message. Will post
my results from what you suggest

Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2000 08:17:18 -0700
I'm using RedHat 6.2 and would like to have fsck
execute about 1/2 as frequently as it does during
the remount /root fs r/w at boot-time. I though
that it might be a function of some parameter in
/etc/fstab but I couldn't see it. Anyone know how
to tweak this parameter?

Hi, Linux Gurus!!
I am a Linux newbie. I am trying to learn the concept of
RAID system. Can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure
on setting up a RAID 1 and RAID 5 system, please.
Once I have installed another diskdrive, formatted and
partitioned it, I don't know what to do next!
Maybe, you can tell me the URL of the site or share what
you did when you setup your RAID system.
Thanks so much!

from the sources that alsasound was using before, e.g. interrupt.
Alsa was using 5, now isapnp tells me to use 7. Strange!)
Anyway, it works and thanks for all your help :-)

ftpd is not normally running. It should be launched by inetd when you
attempt to run connect to it from an ftp client. Try 'ftp localhost'
from a linux login or run an ftp client (WS_FTP is a nice graphical
client) from a Windoze box.
The same applies to telnetd, though here I use teraterm, which is a
good Win95 freeware client.

Tried putting "swap" instead of 'none' in the mount point column
in fstab, as you suggested, - same problem. What it is objecting to is
not the mount point, but the fs type swap

I guess Rod's answer is ok and will work, but I think it's a workaround. To
answer you question: you would have to recompile your kernel. That's not so
hard, but if you are new to linux, take your time and wait until you feel ok
to take that step. In the meantime, go with Rod's hint.

When I connect to my box via FTP, it takes about 10 seconds to get an
initial response from "Connected to ?.?.?.?" to "220 ????" on my server. My
server is:
Pent II 233, 96 meg (dmesg says: using fastest function: p5_mmx (545.592
MB/sec))
4.3 gig HD on Promise IDE controller (hdparm -Tt = 70MB,4MB/sec)
Intel 10/100 nic, plugged directly into a cable modem.
Redhat 6.2 updated kernel to 2.2.16-3
Updated wu-ftp to 2.6.0-14.6x
My inetd.conf reads:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
I know it has to load ftp everytime it gets a connection, but should it be
taking 10 seconds. It does not matter wheather I use a user account or
anonymous.

If I were you, I would choose to install KDE as it is easier to use as

RPM's for GNOME from the Red Hat 6.2 CD or just download Helix GNOME
from www.gnome.org like I did and let it auto-install for you. I hope
this helps.

These parameters are stored in the filesystem itself. (There are two: one
counts the number of mounts, one the number of days.) You can change them
with the tune2fs(8) command (see the man page) WHEN IT IS MOUNTED

Hey folks. Had a quick question. At least I hope so.
I'm in a college situation where I'd like to be able to deny access to booting
from a floppy/CD, but I'd prefer to be able to let users have easy access to
my Linux box. Doing this through LILO seemed like the wisest idea, rather
than simply removing the devices from my BIOS or using a bootup password.
Unfortunately, efforts to do this have failed rather miserably, and at the
moment, I'm looking at having to reinstall Red Hat (though not because I've
been fiddling with LILO, but because I've been fiddling with some primary DOS
paritions on the other side, and I'm getting a kernel panic at the moment -
YAY!).
Any assistence you can provide would be most helpful.

df displays only the space on mounted filesystems. Your floppies are
