Why 420? What's the "magic" behind that number? It's not 2^n, that's
why I'm asking this.

I don't use windows mindless extension (me) but I do use win98 on linux at
the same time. Very possible with a number of products like VMware, wine,
win4lin, plex86, and perhaps a few others.

Subject: Optimally partitioning a new Linux system with 2 drives

Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2001 07:01:34 GMT
Hi,
I'm installing Linux on a new system with a 45Gb disk and a
2Gb disk. This machine will host a number of large websites,
provide mail, news, and a bunch of accounts. A real general-
purpose system. Vmware may be used to run an instance of
WinNT. How might I partition the drives?
Thanks!

I have one of those systems, running a hacked RH6.2 install with 2.4.2
kernel, runs it like a dream.
Now the bad news, that ARO-1130 is not supported at all. I found some
reference to this thing in a NG post years back, other than that nothing
at all.
Do you have that Intergraph video card? if so that I am told can be
hacked into life with X4.0.2, but not actually tried it, having replaced
it with a G400 Max.

Welcome to Linux-land!
Polish quote as food for later "Don't add salt to someone elses soup"
Almost any user will have different uses for the OS, so will have to
administer the system to her/his preferences.
If it is single user box, as most are, (dual boot with MS-Glassware) and
you are a newcomer then Windows on about 1.5G on first partition and
later Linux on rest of hard drive with about 100-120M swap and the rest
for / (root).
This kind of partitioning was on my drives for about 4 years and only few
month ago I reverted to different configuration, but I knew what mine
requirements are (sound and graphical files which need a heck of lot of
hard disk space).
So take it easy, start simple, enjoy and learn.

I would have a 128M swap and put the rest of the 4G on / Two partitiions is
enough. Or you could have one swap and divide the rest into two other 2G
paritions and install two different distributions to try them out. They
can share the swap partition. I've done that before. I have always had
one partition for windows too, but I don't use windows too much any more.

Ok, I have tried this, but now, from the server, I can not access my

It seems your RPM-database is broken.
You could give 'RPM --rebuilddb' a try. If that doesn't work, try
reinstalling BASH thru 'RPM -Uvh bash-<version>-i386.rpm', that'll propably
help!

Subject: Defrag problems with repartioning FAT32 drive for linux
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 23:11:38 -0800
Hello all,
I'm trying to partition my hard drive (currently a 7 gig Win 98
partition) to install linux. Even after I run (Windows) Defrag, DiskDrake
complains that the drive is too fragmented. I understand that this is
because the swap file remains untouched. But the same problem occurs after
turning off Virtual Memory . FIPS running off a bootdisk terminates
abnormally after complaining that it can't run command.com. I looked up GNU
Parted but the docs say that the FAT code is the same as DiskDrake. Can
anyone help? TIA.

Thanks again Herman,
I tried to setup Procmail and looked at the tutorials etc, but still
have a problem.
I have the following .procmailrc file in my home directory
# Environment variables for procmail
# setup from www.uwasa.fi/~ts/info/spamfoil.html
VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=all
MAILDIR=${HOME}/Mail
LOGFILE=${HOME}/Mail/procmail.log
:0:
* ^[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/var/spool/mail/gnunn
#Lets all other mail in my mailbox
:0:
${DEFAULT}
with the VERBOSE and LOG lines for debugging.
The rules are firings fine by the look of the log file, but when I try
and write to the other users spool I get the following in the log
file.
procmail: Match on
"(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/gnunn.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/gnunn"
procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/gnunn"
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/gnunn"
procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/gnunn.lock"
procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/pnunn.lock"

procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/pnunn"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/pnunn.lock"
As you can see the write fails and so it drops through.
I tried changing the permissions to 660 on the spool files but that
didn't help.
Any clues??
Also, if this is in my home directory, what happens if mail arrives
when I'm not logged in? Will it still get sorted?
