Hi all,
maybe someone can give me a tip for this:
I upgraded kernel 2.2.17 to 2.4.2, which works fine now,
except that after a reboot, the klogd deamon takes 100%
CPU. When I restart the deamon, klogd works normal.
I have version sysklogd-1.3.33-8.rpm.
Greets,

Sounds as if nothing would be wrong, you just changed a CD-ROM in your

You reinstalled, because your mouse didn't work?
You must be joking.
does it work in console mode?
Try mouseconfig to set it up properly.
I never tried a USB mouse, so you may need to read
some info on the specifics. It's probably well documentated.
Either search your system or the RH site for more info.

No need. It *is* easy.
It doesn't even differ from the win98 setup you used.

To delete a partition you don't need PM.
The installation process wil be very well capable of this.
If you must resize a partition, then buy PM.
(PS: when you install linux, always choose expert install,
or whatever it is called, just keep maximum control)

Good. i do this too
A bit of a different setup, win2k is on another disk, win98 and linux are on

lilo is the main bootloader.

For Caldera eDesktop/eServer, is there a command line tool to
enable/disable the installed daemon files in /etc/sysconfig/daemons/
directory plus create the relevant link files for the respective run level
directories /etc/rc?.d (similar to 'chkconfig' in Red Hat)?
I have looked at COAS but have not been able to figure out how to use it in

to configure your network you can use "netcfg" command under root id,
you will see in interface what is your network configuration (you must
have at least two interfaces :eth0 and lo).

If i understand you right, your PC is running Linux and you want to
uses shared drivers on the NT bases LAN.
It depends on how the printers are shared within the NT-Lan. They
could either shared with SMB (NetBios) or with TCP/IP. Both can be
provided by NT. Ask your NT-administrator about it.
For printing with SMB you have to use smclient from SAMBA
(-> www.samba.org). Printing via TCP/IP should be natively supported
by your installed printing system on the linux-machine.
A basic site about printing with linux is www.linuxprinting.org . You
have to install a printing spooler like the LPD, but i suggest it's
worse to take a look at CUPS (-> www.cups.org) .
For a approach from the NT side, take a look at
http://www.windows2000faq.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=14535

Subject: Vmware will not compile using Mandrake 2.2.17-21mdksecure stock kernel...
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 11:54:51 GMT
Hi all,
VMware (2.0.1 and 2.0.3) refuses to compile/install as it says :
"What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] " <-- this is the corrent location.....
I hit "enter" to confirm the path... It responds with:
"The directory of kernel headers (version 2.2.17-21mdk) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.2.17-21mdksecure). Consequently, even if the
compilation of the module was successful, the module would not load into the
running kernel."
I could not find any other headers (and I assume there would not be
anyhow)... How can I over come this problem?? What is the difference between
2.2.17-21mdk and 2.2.17-21mdksecure kernels??
Thanks for any help,
Shane.

It certainly is! You have compiled a kernel with a 2.2.13 version

No. I am trying to tell you to accept the evidence of your eyes and
quit vascillating. Wy do people resist logic so forcefully! It's most
annoying. You have all the evidence you need, now believe it.
I have plenty of ideas as to what is wrong. So will you, once you start
thinking instead of bullshitting. The logical conclusion is staring you
in the face: you messed up; you compiled a kernel that thinks it's
2.2.13. Go back, do it all again, this time correctly.
If you want some clues as to where you messed up, once you accept that
you did, I suggest you try and understand where the version string
comes from. It should be in version.h in the source tree, and also
modified by a possible extra suffix given in the Makefile. So go check
what they say. If you find that there is more than one version.h on your
system, and one of them says one thing, and another says another,
you'll have some more food for thought! You'll probably conclude
that you either unpacked the source wrong, or you failed to unpack it
in the right place, or you failed to make some needed links in the rest
of your system, near the /usr/include area.

Hello,
I would suggest to backup your stuff and the system configuration you/system
needs,
I.e.. /home and /etc and start with SuSE 7.1 from scratch, don't forget to
check/download/install
www.suse.com for (security) updates, there are quiet a lot...

In some cases yes. The handholding part that is. Not every one has the same
level of technical savvy. It's not like just dropping in a driver disk and
going. The different distros compund this. Some have package managers, some
don't. Do the vendors support the package managers, or do they just offer
tarballs? Things of this nature dictate a bit of handholding for some.

You are correct in stating that there is a logical progression to solving
this, you must remember that man(or woman) is not logical creature by
nature. Maybe the Redmondnites have made some of us lazy. We want everything
to run right now dammit!!!<stomping foot>
I look at it this way. We want to add more users to our numbers. If that
means holding someone's hand and walking them through something that has
been asked umpteen times before, then that's what I have to do. Yes you get
a lot of lamers that just want to start crap. When you DO come upon someone
with a genuine interest though, you want to continue to cultivate this.
Remember, the more users we have the stronger position we have against
anti-Linux vendors like Logitech, etc.

No, it does not. Do a man lilo.conf. Does it give an example of the
specific syntax for setting the amount of system memory? (i.e.
append="mem=<amount>M") No. Just an explanation of the append command(with

I have a IDE CDRW Kodak. After I installed RedHat, i have /dev/cdrom. The
cdrom works perfect.
What about the burner? How can I get to work?

I'm not sure if I understood what you mean, a real news feed will cost some
money, if you only want to make some ng available, I would suggest using leafnode
to send/receive news from you ISP news server.

You can redirect any Xprog (output) to any other machine with running X, as X has
full
network capabilities, without the need of running X on the server ...:-)
1. on the server--> export DISPLAY=machine_name:0.0
2. on the receiving side --> xhost +server_name
3. on the server --> your_Xapp &

Now this is a real possibility. I noticed one day that my system (I
forget if it was Red Hat 6.2 or 7.0, I've had both on here) did
*not* have a needed link in /usr/include. That directory should
contain a link called "linux" that links to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
(assuming the kernel source to be in /usr/src/linux). On my
system, however, there was simply a subdirectory called "linux".
As long as one never changed kernels, this did not present a
problem. I changed it, though, to point to the kernel includes.
Check /usr/include/linux to see if it's a subdirectory or a link
into the kernel sources.
BTW, I totally agree with the statement made here that something
is wrong in the way things were done there. I hope this at least
contributes constructively to a solution to your problem.

I'd critique this, if I may... first of all, the "make menuconfig"
should come before anything else. The "make dep" step makes
dependencies which are affected by what portions of the kernel
you've elected to compile. There should be a "make clean" step
just after "make dep", to remove stale object files. "make bzImage"
will produce the new kernel image in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot,
but if you're going to use lilo to boot, why not just go ahead
and edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect it before compiling the kernel
and use "make bzlilo" instead? It'll compile the kernel, copy it
and System.map to the root directory, and run lilo to install it,
all in one swell foop. The last two steps are correct.
The steps I use when compiling a kernel are "make xconfig" (I'm
partial to the Tk-based configuration process), "make dep", "make
clean", "make bzlilo", "make modules", "make modules_install",
then reboot.
Note that, unless you modify the Makefile as indicated in another
post here, "make bzlilo" will put the kernel in the root directory.
If you want it to go into your /boot directory, you'll need to
change the Makefile. Your choice.
Hope this helps.

Did you by mistake mess up the kernel source tree ? If the old kernel tree
was in /usr/src/linux and you just unpacked the new kernel tree on top of
it, you have mixed stuff. There MUST be NO /usr/src/linux at the time you
unpack the kernel tree from the tarball. After untar, rename it to
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16 and set a symlink /usr/src/linux to it.
