Hello, my friend has a LCD monitor that can be tilted 90
degrees from the usual landscape display(eg 800x600) to portait
display (eg 600x800) in MS Windows with a software from portrait.com
They do not seem to have support for it in Linux and I am
wondering if anybody has managed to use portait displays in Linux/X?
Otherwise, if we want to hack a way to allow portrait mode in X, where
would be a good source of information?
Thanks!!

I have user access on a unix workstation and can start ftp downloads from
there. Since my user space is not very large, I've been trying to figure out
whether I can have the incoming packets on that workstation being
immediately forwarded to another computer which does have enough disk space
without saving them on the workstation. I do not have root access on the
unix workstation.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
James

There are two obvious solutions:
Masquerade. This requires root to setup the masquerade rules...
Install a ftp proxy. This requires binding top port 21, which requires
root access, so no luck here either...

Is ReiserFS compiled into your kernel? In order to mount /, the /
filesystem MUST be compiled as part of the main kernel file, not as a
module.

Yes, two partitions. However, 'df' only shows one,
/dev/hda1. 'df' does not show a swap partition but I made a 100m partition
for swap.

I did not creat the 'etc/lilo.conf' file. The sys did, I

Something else I do not understand.
I have an /etc/lilo.conf, an /etc/lilo.conf.old, and a
/etc/lilo.conf~. The /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/lilo.conf.old
are identical. The /etc/lilo.conf~ is considerably
different and more like I'm use to seeing and more like
what you have. It is below:
boot=/dev/hda1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
promp
timeout=50
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlimuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
>
This looks to me like the lilo I need
Am I correct in thinking I could replace /etc/lilo.conf
with this one and it would work?
Thanks again,

I am trying to install RedHat version 7. I am booting off a boot.img

I think we are getting somewhere.
I 'rm /etc/lilo.conf.'
Then, 'cp /etc/lilo.conf~ /etc/lilo.conf.'
I rebooted and got to an 'L' before the '00' started
scrolling. This is different in before it was 'x and o's'.
Also, didn't you say the '1024' thing came into play when
there was 'LI..'

Only the last link worked. It suggests the problem may be due to cache
memory- a bad motherboard. I can't understand why if this was the case
this would be the only way the problem would manifest itself.

Thanks everybody for thier help. I've turned off "autofs", but still
found a /net dir hang. I saw that "/etc/mtab" has the amd automouter
trying to put a file system on the "/net" dir:
1 /dev/hda5 / ext2 rw 0 0
2 none /proc proc rw 0 0
3 /dev/hda7 /home ext2 rw 0 0

intr,rw,port=1023,timeo=8,retrans=110,indirect,map=/etc/amd.conf,dev=00000003

"/etc/amd.conf" looks like this:
1 /defaults fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root/${rfs};opts:=nosuid,nodev
2 * rhost:=${key};type:=host;rfs:=/
...and "/var/log/messages" has amd mount information of:

Since this is my old ip information, I'm wondering if this could be
hanging the /net dir. The ip 24.43.237.6 does not
exist:
[root@frye log]# ping 24.43.237.6
PING 24.43.237.6 (24.43.237.6): 56 data bytes
(hang/blocked wait forever)
This is a bit like a good mystery being unravelled, but I'm
wondering if I even need "amd". I'm not going to need to
automatically mount files systems on another machine. If I want to, then
I'll just mount them manually. It would be nice
to know how it works though.
How does amd get its network info? - the amd.conf file uses
variables that were set at some higher level; I just need to
know where that is. Am I on the right track?

I've turned off "autofs", but still found a /net dir hang. I saw that
<b>"/etc/mtab"</b>
has the amd automouter trying to put a file system on the "/net" dir:
<p> 1 /dev/hda5 / ext2 rw 0 0
<br> 2 none /proc proc rw 0 0
<br> 3 /dev/hda7 /home ext2 rw 0 0
<br> 4 none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620
0 0
<br><b> 5 frye:(pid565) /net nfs
intr,rw,port=1023,timeo=8,retrans=110,indirect,map=/etc/amd.conf,dev=00000003
0 0</b>
<br>
<p> <b>"/etc/amd.conf" </b>looks like this:
<p> 1 /defaults
fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root/${rfs};opts:=nosuid,nodev
<br> 2 *
rhost:=${key};type:=host;rfs:=/
<p> ...and <b>"/var/log/messages"</b> has amd mount information
of:
<p> .
<br> .
<br> .
<br><b> 210 Mar 11 15:50:58 frye amd[564]: Network 1:

<br> 216 Mar 11 15:50:58 frye amd[565]: /etc/amd.conf

<p> Since this is my old ip information, I'm wondering
if this could be hanging the /net dir. The ip 24.43.237.6 does not
<br>exist:
<br>
<p><b>[root@frye log]# ping 24.43.237.6</b>
<br><b>PING 24.43.237.6 (24.43.237.6): 56 data bytes</b>
<br><b>(hang/blocked wait forever)</b>
<p> This is a bit like a good mystery being unravelled,
but I'm wondering if I even need "amd". I'm not going to need to
<br>automatically mount files systems on another machine. If I want to,
then I'll just mount them manually. It would be nice
<br>to know how it works though.
<br> How does amd get its network info? - the amd.conf
file uses variables that were set at some higher level; I just need to
<br>know where that is. Am I on the right track?

the /net directory on a Mandrake 7.0 system. I have a good feeling it's
the <b>inet</b> daemon - but I need to know specifically. I've just recently
turned off all inet services (telnet, ftp, etc)and the "/net" directory
began to hang. Whereas before, I was able to list the root directory and
the /net directory, after the inet daemon was turned off, any execute action
on the root directory or /net directory will hang the terminal. I'm guessing
something tried to mount a non-existent device to the /net directory.
<br> What I need to know is who tried to mount what device
to the /net directory and how do I prevent it. Does anybody kow anything
about this problem?
