Install RPM 3.0.5
It can read the newer 4.x RPM files (and you can install RPM 4.x with
it -- something I reccomend). It's stupid that you need RPM 4 to
install RPM 4, I think that's a bug; but that's the way they did it.

I started out whith RH a few years back, I was totaly new
to linux and fairly clueless. I'd done some homework
before starting out (ie: what graphicscard, sound card,
info from your ISP, dnsserver and the like) read this
newsgroup for a a bit and you'll know what problems
newbies normally run in to. I liked RH
after a couple of years with RH i switched to debian
and i never looked back.
A great help is to have a working backupsystem so
you don't get in a panic if you don't get everything
right at once.
Packetmanaging under debian is a dream.
Oh, get a cd unless you have a fast connection.
installs over a modem is no joke :)
And again, read what you can beforehand, you'll
be glad you did.
good luck

It depends on your run level.
Look in /etc/rc.d/ for the rcX.d directories. The files in these
directories are run in order on a specific run level.
I run in level 5 and my directory rc5.d has a symlink to rc.local as the
last entry.
This is assuming you use RedHat.

Subject: Gnome desktop icons and right-click problem
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 17:32:15 -0800
Hi,
I've recently upgraded my laptop from RH62 to RH70. I was previously
using KDE but after it defaulted to Gnome, I found that I like that
interface better. Everything works fine in Gnome except the right-click
menu doesn't give me an option to add icons to the desktop, and no icons
were installed to the desktop by default (not sure if they were supposed
to). The Gnome manual seems to say that all this should happen right
after installation. I tried changing the bindings for the buttons and
am able to get some menus, but none will let me customize my desktop.
Any ideas? I'm running Gnome 1.2.1-33. I have also tried a few
different window managers - sawfish, enlightenment, windowmaker - to no
avail.

I don't know whether this was a typo, but `/' is the ROOT
partition, not (necessarily) the BOOT partition. RH typically
wants you to create a separate partition called `/boot'.
Recheck everything and try again.

This will only change the path in the current shell process.
If you log out and log back in, or if you start another shell
, you'll find you have the same path you started with.
If you do want to change the path in the CURRENT shell, you
could get the current path by typing:
$ echo $PATH
Then, reassign the PATH variable in its entirety by copying
and pasting the parts you want, and omitting the part you
don't want.
I suggest that you read up a little on the UNIX/Linux shell.

Subject: Boot Manager Question in Caldera Openlinux
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 01:08:44 GMT
Hello all-
I have a small query as to how GRUB works exactly. I've
searched support.calderasystems.com but haven't quite gotten the
information I need. Basically, I have found another box to use for my
caldera linux box, so I am trying to uninstall GRUB and use it as a
single-boot machine for windows. Can anyone perhaps tell me the
easiest way to save the data on my hard drive windows partition as
well as the linux partition? Currently, the linux partition is master
while the windows partition is slave. So if I sys my C and D: drives
in windows, then remove the linux hard drive (master) and configure
the windows drive as the master, then fdisk /mbr, will this work?
Is it possible to merely just "Uninstall" GRUB, then boot to
my windows partition normally? Any help on this would be GREATLY
appreciated. I REALLY don't want to have to format this windows
partition and lose all my information, but I am really tired of the
dual-boot and so I've dedicated another machine for the linux
partition. Any help anywhere?? Thank you so much!

Subject: reiserfs, fsck, and mount read-only at boot
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 03:25:08 GMT
I have been using reiserfs ( 3.5.29 ) with kernel 2.2.18 and am pleased
with it. ( Actually I've been using it with kernel 2.2.16 , anyway .. )
My question is that, at boot, my RH installation ( 6.0 with lots of
things upgraded: kernel, glibc, X, KDE, .... ) will mount the root
partition ( which is a reiser fs ) in read-only mode .... and during
boot, reiserfs gives the warning "warning, mounting in read-only mode".
Do I need to modify /etc/lilo.conf so that instead of read-only then
later on remounting as read-write, it goes straight to read-write?
Second, I did not have reiserfsprogs/utils installed before, and I
thought of installing it now. At boot, the startup complains of not
being able to find the fsck for reiserfs.
The README that comes with reiserfsprogs comes with a "note" that says
you normally need not need to fsck a reiser fs, and continues on making
me fear of using fsck on a reiser fs.
So should I install reiserfsprogs? What should I change so that fsck
will not be run against a reiser fs at boot?
Thanks,
John

Gene,
Maybe you should think about breaking it down into smaller chunks, say
one chapter per file? It should make it much easier to handle, and if
you do put it online, add a table of content with links into all of
the chapters, and next/previous links at the end of each chapter. The
links would still make it appear to be a single document, but each one
would be managable. The browsers all parse the files in memory, both
html and xml, so big files will use up a lot of memory, and usually
end up moving into the swap file on the hard drive. That can only make
the process slower.
