Subject: signal 7 Instal exited abnormally
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 03:24:25 GMT
40 Mb RAM
intel pentium 100
540 Mb harddrive
While I was trying to install Red Hat Linux 6.1 I recived the following
message
"Install ended abnormally----signal 7 action signal...donetween elements"
I received this message right after the package group selection dialog box.
I selected the packages I wanted then selected OK. Then the same
error/message appears. I tried the whole process several times but all came
to a dead end at this point. After the error/message I am advised to shut
down the computer. Pls any one who could help me with an answer or the
direction to where I can find the answer I would appreciate it. Thanks

How do you limit a user's access so that when they log-in, the user can not
leave their home directory?

Subject: virtual hosting problems

Hi, I have a domain "jonathansnyder.com". In DNS, I have two CNAME
records--www.jonathansnyder.com and files.jonathansnyder.com both
pointing to jonathansnyder.com.
I haven't changed anything much in my httpd.conf file except for custom
error messages, to allow cgi to execute in various directories, adding
.pl
extension etc........ In other words, my httpd.conf file is pretty
much "stock"
To httpd.conf, I replaced the commented out instructions on virtual
hosts with:
<VirtualHost 128.211.164.155>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName www.jonathansnyder.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error-log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log common
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options All
</Directory>
<VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 128.211.164.155>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /var/www/files.jonathansnyder.com
ServerName files.jonathansnyder.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log.files.jonathansnyder.com
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log.files.jonathansnyder.com common
<Directory /var/www/files.jonathansnyder.com>
Options All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and right above all this added;
NameVirtualHost 128.211.164.155
NameVirtualHost 128.211.164.155:80
The problem is, when browsing to files.jonathansnyder.com, it pulls up
whatever is in my default DocumentRoot for everything else
(/var/www/html) instead of its dedicated DocumentRoot (
/var/www/files.jonathansnyder.com)
Is there a problem with my httpd.conf file, or am I even approaching
this from the right angle?
Thanks,
jon

Hi Ken,

You might like to take a look at a program called "rsh" (from memory, and no
this isn't the remote shell) which is meant to be a "restricted shell". From
memory it allows severely limited operations to be performed by the end user
including moving around the directory structure.
You may have to hunt around for it.
See ya

Subject: DEAL$$
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 12:53:53 +0800
If there is indeed a better deal.............
DETAILS: THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are
now, and came
across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of
dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I
thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam". But like most of us, I was
curious. So I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of
the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name
and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch! That was it. So after
thinking it over and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying
it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like
most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal
aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested
the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting
money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money
just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of
the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I
had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly.
It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps. I have spent more than that on the
lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
works....also,make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get
the information off of it as you need it.You must send the money to get put
on the mailing lists.
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the
following on each piece of paper: "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
Now, get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper
so
the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next,
place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now
have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is
creating a service by this. You must send the money to get put on the
mailing lists. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the
following addresses:
#1) Barry Taylor, 35 Silverlaw, Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, Dg12 5eq,
United Kingdom
#2) Joseph Stultz, 165 LaArroya Dr., Weatherford, Texas 76088
#3) JoAnna Ramon, 108 A Salazar St., Cotulla, Texas 78014
#4) Mark Hetkowski, 100 Alumni Dr., Cleveland GA, 30528, U.S.A.
#5) Christina Flannery P.O. Box 2757 Chandler, Arizona. 85244-2757, U.S.A.
#6) Daniel , Blk 92, Zion Road #02-195, Covent Garden, S(160092), Singapore
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the
list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,
etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything
you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible.
Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is
close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you
post, the more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS ----- HOW TO POST TO
NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter
to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this
letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select
'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
computers memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor
at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back
to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu.
Fill in the subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post
message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S
IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After
you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin
receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want
to rent
a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to
stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will
deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very
low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each
of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5,
that is another $25.00 for me. Those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00!
Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at
#3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK,
now here is the fun part. Each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200
letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to
200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is, do you realize that Thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are
now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so...
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons
of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and
newsgroups everday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000
to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
internet. : THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!

I have a HP Pavilion 8650c computer. In my computer, the sound card is
part of the software modem. It would not work under linux. I replace it
with a sound blaster 16 pci card and an external USR 56k modem.

Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 05:00:21 GMT
The kernel 2.2.16 had been upgraded before I complied the new kernel 2.4.2.
Of cousre, I have read the document of 2.4.2, gotten the gcc upgraded to
2.96.69 and installed the modutils 2.4.2 before I complied the kernel. The
module.conf has been changed to what the document mention. But pppd does
not work no matter pppd was installes as loadable module or not. Other that,
the new kernel run great. My usb zip drive is working fine, usb sound also
work fine but not pppd! Could anybody give me a smarter answer? Thank you in
advance.

Subject: Help- screwed up Gnome panel!
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 05:41:53 GMT
Ok, here's a good newbie f-up. I have no idea what I did, but
suddenly I don't get icons for running applications in my Gnome panel
(RH7). Thus, when I minimize an app, there's no way to restore it!
(There must be some keyboard command to iterate through running apps,
like alt-tab in Windows, but I don't know it.)
What did I do and how can I undo it??

Been there done that. Never got a response from this news group either.
Searched hell and back, and just went into my home dir and deleted my
.gnome dir's.
I'm sure this was the hard way but it only took me 10 minutes to
configure my menu's again.
(you don't have to re-install Gnome either)
I can install my Linux now in record time, due to trial and error.
If you have other users on your system try to compare your
/home/whoever/.gnome dir's and see if you can see a difference. I
couldn't find a lock file so I just killed the dir's.

David,
Presumably you made a Windows ME boot disk when you installed it. Boot your computer
with that, then at the DOS prompt type:
FDISK /MBR
That will restore the Master Boot Record and you should be able to get back into
Windows ME.
