I use this command myself when copying lots of data.  The problem here,
though, is that /backup is mounted below '/', so you will need to exclude
/backup from the tar command, otherwise undesireable recursions will happen,
and you'll fill up the backup disk with multiple copies of things.

Yes, most ftp mirrors do not have the older versions of redhat, so get
them from Redhat's site.

Nope. There are no messages at all before this. What I wrote is what is

    The 'why not' is my supposition that 'dselect' will handle
    updates for me and I don't know if APT will. I know, for
    instance, that I can switch to the unstable distro and 'dselect'
    will update all of my packages with unstable versions. :) At
    least that's what I *think* it will do. And even if I never
    decide to switch to the 'unstable' version, won't I need to
    use 'dselect' when I want to upgrade to 2.3 and so on? I'm
    pretty sure based upon what I've seen so far that 'dselect'
    will do it's darned best to 'sort out' anything I've done that
    it does not agree with.

Hello everyone.  I am a newbie and I have picked up a book on linux

I am wondering if anyone has read this book, and if they know where I

Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2000 23:07:00 GMT

Good afternoon.  I am a newbie to linux and don't wish to install linux
on my Win98 PC at home.  However, I would like to learn and practice
linux commands, etc. on my PC.  By doing so, after a while, perhaps, I
will be comfortable enough to partition a drive and actually install
Linux.

So, does anyone know of any Linux simulation programs?  (Just a simple
program I can run and learn linux from a book.)

Thanks very much in advance!

If they are that far off, you have some major problems on your hands.  You
should keep them up to date and update the hardware (CMOS) clock so they
are at least close in the rare event that they need to reboot.

You might start with /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt

I have not booted to a ramdisk (other than installation), but I do use a
ramdisk for a process that does continuous background calculations.

Subject: setup raid-1
Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2000 23:37:59 +0000 (UTC)

Hi,

        I am using Redhat 6.2 and try to setup a raid-1 on two
        IDE disks.

        I hope the system can survive when one IDE gone, not just
        the data.  Do I need to setup boot/root/swap on raid device?
        And how?

        I am trying to setup boot/root/swap on raid at the time I
        install the system.  But I can't figure out how to do that
        at installation time.  Do I need to install the whole system
        in regular filesystem, and migrate it to raid?  Or can I
        setup boot/root/swap at installation time or by Kickstart.
        Again, how?

        Any working example is appreciated, thanks.

                                                Kuang-Chun Cheng

Check your /etc/lilo.conf as well.  I recently went through the same
thing:  add a partition with Partition Magic, reboot to Linux, and
experience a kernel panic because something changed the /etc/fstab
definition of my root directory from /dev/hda9 to /dev/hd19.  Whatever it
is also changed "root=" directives in my /etc/lilo.conf file to
"/dev/hd19".

I'm using SuSE 6.2.

But that is exactly what APT does!  That is why it is an Advanced Packaging
Tool.  Dselect is kind of a "picky" version of APT.  I never touch the thing.
Some love it, some loath it (even the developers).

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade   

Or for what you want...

apt-get update  
apt-get dist-upgrade

Easy as pie.  All depends are handled. No dicking around with the 6000 packages
available.  Same thing for packages.

When the ppp daemon dies, it gives you an error code for
troubleshooting purposes. Check /var/log/messages for the code and post

Subject: A couple of Mandrake 7.2 questions...
Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2000 11:07:37 +1100

     With KDE and Gnome being included with Mdk 7.2 how does one get
BOTH operating?  With RedHat 6 I set things up so that I had Gnome
when root and KDE as my usual user-self.  I hear RH7 gives you the
option to start *either* - I assume by typing startx and startkde, or
something like that - but I don't know how to get KDE running in Mdk
7.2.  Believe it or not, typing 'startx' started it ok the first time
I installed it a while ago, but the second time it starts Gnome
instead.  What gives?  The LINUX POCKETBOOK says, very unhelpfully,
"If you're currently in Gnome, log off and login again after selecting
KDE as your desktop environment."
     Secondly, I'd like to have the startup screen NOT clear before
presenting the login prompt.  The LPB says to add the '- noclear'
switch to my inittab file, but all I get is the 'I'm gonna hang for 5
minutes before trying again' jive which means there's a typo in that
file.  What's the correct syntax?  I've tried about half a dozen
variations.
     TIA!

Hello Anna,

Execute the following to see if the kernel knows about APM (Advanced Power 
Management)

# cat /proc/apm

This should show something like "1.13 1.2 0x07 0x01 0xff 0x80 -1% -1 ?"

Hope this helps.

Turn off BIOS pnp-support. The BIOS setting may confuse
Linux. But reserve IRQ 9 or IRQ11 in BIOS for ISA-Cards

Linux pnp installed? 

generate isapnp.conf

you get something like this: 
[...]
IO 0 (SIZE 32) (BASE 0x0340) (CHECK)) original
[...]

Eliminate "(CHECK)"   (bug!)

reboot. 

load modules.

ready.

I can't imagine, that SCSI emu and real SCSI can co-exists.

something like this, depends to your configuration
0x340,11,7,1,1,0,0,0

RTM! Which doku did you read? Which Linux do you have ? 
What exactly did you do so far? Post all scripts, config-files, 
boot-messages (dmesg). Give a complete protocol of your tests.
Further help depends on your answer to my questions!

mery chrismas and a happy new year!
