Hi!
I have installed the RH7 and talk doesn't work. I have modified the
/etc/xinetd.d/talk file, changing disable=yes for disable=no, but when I
try to make a talk with an user, it say:
Conection refused
The firewall isn't the problem. Any idea?
Thanx

There is probably a how to for this, but it didn't exatclt jump out at me
so I figured the quickest way to get an answer or at least advise would be
to ask here.
I would like to make an image of all the files in a partition (maybe using
tarball). Then if for example the server completely dies I can put in a
new disk boot up linux from a disk, or install a small version of linux,
then bring back the entire partition as saved in the tarball (obviosuly
saved on CD or other disk) and have my server up and running as it was
before.
Is there a way to do this? I have thought of norton ghost but I have no
experience with it. I hope the problem was clear, how to save the entire
system so that it can easily be ressurecvted incase of major problems.

Is that an AIT-1 drive? Be *very* careful. AFAIK, all AIT-1 drives
are Fast or UW SCSI only. In other words, HVD. The external connector
on a 29160 is LVD. Connecting HVD devices to an LVD chain can lead to
serious damage to the devices or the adapter itself without an
appropriate (and expensive) LVD-HVD adapter.
What type of Dell workstation? I've got a Sony SDX-300C (35/70 AIT-1)
on a Precision 420, hanging off the secondary embedded controller, which
has an external UW connection.
Get an adapter, or get another SCSI card. But get that drive off of the
29160 (unless I'm mistaken about the drive -- what is the exact model
number?).

hello!
our linux machine (rh6.1) acts as file, cd-rom, backup, printer and
intranet server for win nt workstations. all data are mirrored on

because of possible power failure - umounted hd stays intact.

Subject: glibc errata for RedHat 7.0
Date: 22 Feb 2001 13:31:24 GMT
I installed RedHat 7.0 ('workstation version') on
a PII recently. The initial installation was fine.
I then downloaded the errata rpms for RedHat 7.0.
Included in the errata is a set of glibc rpms, which
are now at ver 2.2-12. None of these 2.2-12 rpms will
install on my stock RH 7.0 workstation --- in all cases,
it says that I first need to have glibc 2.2 installed
on the system. (The stock RH 7.0 installation will
give you glibc 2.1.92, not 2.2.)
The question, then, is how does one upgrade glibc
to 2.2 on a stock RH 7.0 system? (I think the earlier
2.2-9 glibc errata rpms worked, but the current 2.2-12
won't work.) I do NOT want to use source rpms, either.
I want all upgrades registered with rpm.
Thanks for any help.

I've used "lilo" for duel boot of WinNT and Linux. I think
you need a recent distro of lilo that has lba32 support.
Configure the /etc/lilo.conf file for both hda1 windows
and hdb4 linux, run lilo, then when you boot you
can choose Linux or WinNT. This writes to the master
boot record of hda. If you make a mistake or want
to go back to old booting of WinNT, then boot from a
diskette with that has fdisk on it and run;
fdisk /mbr

Hi,
Has anybody been able to set 1280x1024 @ >70Hz vertical
refresh rate with their Geforce2 MX graphics card on Linux? If
so, I would be grateful for some help.
I have managed 1024x768 @85Hz and also 1280x1024 but at a
refresh rate of only 60Hz (which is quite hard on the eyes).
I am running Redhat 7.0 with Xfree86 V4.0.2 with the Nvidia
drivers
NVIDIA_Kernel-0.95
NVIDIA_GLX-0.95
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce2 MX - 32MB
Monitor: Mitsubishi Diamondplus 73 (Diamondtron NF)
Thanks in advance

I've only seen this error with dual boot. I don't know what
could cause it on a single boot system. If your system once had an MS
windows on it, you might check to see if there is any residual clutter
from it. I don't have enough experience to suggest much here
though--maybe look at the disk partitions with fdisk and rerun lilo?

I'd assume a problem either with the include files. Either they have been
deleted or moved; e.g., on my system /usr/lib/qt, is a symbolic link to the
qt-2 "real" directory. If this link had been switched to, say, qt-1.44,
compile errors are likely to occur within apps expecting QT2 to compile and
link successfully. Three include directories are used: /usr/local/include,
/opt/kde/include and /usr/lib/qt/include. The problem with kompiling K apps
seems to be a hint, that /opt/kde/include should be inpected. Maybe
something has changed here in the last time; is ktopwidget.h there?

Perhaps you could post the exact procedure you're using to upgrade and the

Since you've already been told why you can't do it. Here's what you can
do:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom_udf
Add to /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom_udf udf ro,users,noauto,exec 0 0
That way you can 'mount /mnt/cdrom_udf' as a user.

Roughly, in 2.2.* kmod replaced kerneld, but did not include the

A Linux 7.0 installation question. I've downloaded the RPMS and base

of RPMS and base. During the install I select hard drive as the software
source. I get to the Select Partition screen. When I specify the source of
the software I get an error saying that the it cannot be found.
Device /dev/hda5 does not appear to contain a RedHat installation tree.
At the "Directory holding RedHat:" prompt I specify the directory holding
the RPMS and base directory. I've tried every path I can think of that it
may recognize with no success. Examples: d:/RedHat d:/RedHat/RPMS /RedHat
etc. I suspect that I'm giving it a path that Linux doesn't understand.
