Very brutal, but simply get the process ID number with ps or top, then
do a "cat /proc/$PID/cmdline"
Adding the flag u to the ps command also makes a lot of difference.
try fi "ps aux"

I've been running CVS on RH 6.2 for many months without problem.
I use pserver to access the repository from other machines over the LAN.
After upgrading to RH7 it doesn't work.
After fumbling around I discovered that the "cvs" command in CVS is
no longer supported. It appears to be changed to "pserver".
The inetd file used to execute the command:
cvs cvs --allow-root=<my repository path> pserver
The new xinetd configuration executes:
cvs pserver -f --allow-root=<my repository path>
Is this correct?
Now when I try to connect from a client, I always get two error
messages:
Server configuration missing --allow-root in inetd.conf
cvs login: autorization failed: server <host> rejected access to <my
repository path>
What am I doing wrong?
BTW, the docs on pserver seem to be out of date. Is this feature being
phased out?

There is:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html
2.4.0 is in no way different with respect to the process of setting it up
than any other version.

Go to fast mirror, get a cd image, burn a cdrom and choose from the
installer upgrade existing redhat version, instead of installing from
scratch (may only be available in the expert mode).
RedHat is already at version number 7 though (Nothing wrong with 6.2
just don't forget the securtity upgrades)
The tucows mirror has the following ISO image for 6.2:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/ISO/RedHat/6.2-i386.iso
and the updates:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/updates/RedHat/6.2/i386

I had this same problem.
I did a lot of searching in various newsgroups and the few people that
were able to fix it say they had thier CPU settings wrong.
mine was set to a PentiumIII but I have an AMD K6-3.
I reset all the CPU options in "make xconfig" and re-compiled.
problem solved! it boots OK now.

Regarding /usr/local ; a problem may arise when not all libraries used in
compiling the software there are available (in the same location) when
using a different distribution.

I installed RH7.0 with windows2000. The Lilo is available at /hdc3, in order
to dual boot, I do:
#dd if=/dev/hdc3/ of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
#cp /bootsect.lnx /dos /**/dos is a FAT partiton that shared by windows and

then, in windos2000 I copy bootsect.lnx to C: and add a line at the end of
the boot file fo win2k---boot.ini as following:
c:\bootsect.lnx="linux"
After this I reboot my pc, there is a message asking me choose OS, I choose

Did you compile as much as possible as modules? Too big kernel images
seems to have been a problem for some people. How big is bzImage?

What is the benefit of running "make clean" in between "make dep"

I ask cause I've seen this on a redhat tutorial, but is not stated in
the kernel readme.

about 800K I think. Is that too big? All the kernels I've compiled before
have been around 600-700K.

When the configure script ends, it tells you to `make dep' and
(possibly) `clean'. This insures that all of the dependencies, such the
include files, are in place. When finished, you should do a `make
clean'. This removes all of the object files and some other things that
an old version leaves behind. In any case, do not forget this step
before attempting to recompile a kernel.

The make clean purges any now-unwanted files left from previous builds
of the kernel.

Use xkeycaps, available at http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/ and configure your
keypad any way you like. xkeycaps is basically a user friendly interface
for xmodmap and it will output a key definition file which you run xmodmap
on each time you start X.
I as well still use the old DEC keypad def's. Attached is my xmodmap file
for what is now a fairly typical 104-key keyboard including Windows start
keys (Which BTW I assign to Mod4 for Meta in Emacs). You may want to use it
directly, but be warned, it also changes other things (see the commented
stuff at the start).
One additional word: You cannot re-assign key defs with xkeycaps unless all
your 'Lock' keys are off.

ALT-CTRL-F1 is to the terminal session that X is running on;
try ALT-CTRL-F2 ...F4; getting back to X is something else again...

It cleans up the files from previous make round. Normally you don't want
to do that, as leaving them will speed the compilation process up. Make
is designed to only recompile those sections of source code that have
changed since the previous time make was used, or the sections which are
effected by a change in configuration. Normally make will insure that
when you fi add a module to support a new network interface card, you
won't waste CPU cycles by recompiling your audio modules. In principle.
Now sometimes the dependancies in the makefile aren't 100% tight so that
after a change make would not recompile every piece of source code
effected by that change. That is were the make clean comes in. That
cleans up all previously compiled sections, and makes sure everything is
compiled and no stale .o files are included.
So make clean may be usefull, but may also force you to longer compile
times.

Try ps axww
That is no dash before the options. With the dash the options means
something else. Need more information try ps axuww ps axlww
Also try ps -Af -- with the dash this time.

Steve is right. the virtual disk setup uses a file in the ~/vm/
directory. It doesn't require any partition setup. Just pop the win98
cd in the drive when you power on the virtual machine and follow the
install intructions. Very easy.
