I second that motion. *Do not upgrade glibc*. Save yourself a lot of

'apt-get install xemacs' is your best bet.

This is jut baffling, what is RH trying to look like, a mini-Microsoft?
I thought only MS pulled shenanigans like that. After what, 2 or 3
versions of RH that had built in support for it they yank it? Just as
VPN's are really starting to get popular? And THEN they ship RH 7.0
with a busted compiler that won't let you recompile the kernel.
All I've read seems to indicate that it must be compiled into the
kernel, I have yet to see any mention of a module based usage for it. If
you find the answer please let me know too.

I have just installed TT fonts on my RH6.1.
Checked the fontmanager in KDE and they seemed to have been installed fine.
However, I can't get them to display in Netscape. Would appreciate any help

Many thanks in advance.

This is done when a new version comes with a new config file. The old
one is saved with 'rpmsave' so you don't lose any important
configuration data that might have been there. It is just there for
reference in case you need it.

I purchased RH 6.2 and want to upgrade to RH 7.0.
I downloaded the two RH 7.0 ISO files
(7.0-i386-disc1.iso & 7.0-i386-disc2.iso) When I
look at an ISO file, it looks nothing like the
disk that came with RH 6.2. Obviously, I have to
do something to these two files, before I burn
them to CDROM. I am stumped. Can anybody give
me a hand here? Thanks. E. Moore

No you need to do nothing to them, just burn them *as disc images*
You can try to mount them on a loopback-device to see what they contain
This is done by
mount -o loop 7.0-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom
No you can access the image as if it was already burned on a CD

Compiling from source also doesn't require a library upgrade,
so it's relatively painless, _providing that_ the build tools;
e.g., make, gcc, binutils, and well, as86, are installed. This
has the additional side benefit that the upgrade gets installed
in /usr/local, leaving the RPM packages, which usually install
under /usr, alone.

I had thought about trying that but didn't want to damage their printer
by trying the wrong driver and I didn't want to have to buy them a new

This is SCSI generic (sg.o) support and one use is for the media

This indicates your tape is detected and everything setup.
Could you have a bad tape? If you can lay your hands on a
pristine one give it a try. Use 'dmesg | less' after trial to
see if the kernel complains. If you don't have a new tape try
erasing the old.
As a last resort you may have to compile 'st.o' with debug turned
on.

======================^
you need a space between "auto" and "/dev/fd1"
[root@zephyr]# mount -t auto /dev/fd1 /mnt/floppy2
also if fstype is auto you can leave it out e.g.
[root@zephyr]# mount /dev/fd1 /mnt/floppy2
you only need fstype if that fails e.g.
[root@zephyr]# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip
use "df" (Disk Free) command to see if mount worked:
[root@zephyr]# df
/dev/hda2 3619352 1278928 2156568 37% /
/dev/hda1 19487 2482 15999 13% /boot

I know it's in the first screen after launching the install program for
staroffice 5.2.
I don't remember where I found out about it with 5.1 but it could also
be installed as root and still do the same thing.

Hello,
When trying to mount a directory exported from a Linux (Mandrake
7.0) box on an AIX 4.3.2 box, the Linux box is refusing
the connection and giving the console message: "nfsd: request
from insecure port (mac addr):64971"
I'm able to mount this Linux directory from a Solaris box
just fine. Does anyone know what Linux is requiring here
as far as these ports go, how to change the security settings, etc,
so I can mount this dir on an AIX box?
netstat -an on the AIX box shows port 64971 like this:
udp4 0 0 *.64971 *.*
