hi.. i'm newbie to linux. I just installed RHL 7.0 in my system
i use to learn c programming language in my school. I'm trying to write

you must have a.out support compiled in your kernel. but anyway this is
now deprecated, and you should consider using ELF binaries instead. just
use the -o option with gcc, e.g. :
gcc -o binary_name filename.c
man gcc for more info.

I am trying to use the 'print' command in a script in Redhat Linux
7.0. I don't find the command 'print' or a 'man' page on it.
I want to confirm that Linux uses the 'echo' command instead of 'print'?

After installing Mandrake 7.2 my DVD drive, CD Writer and Floppy drive are
locked and cannot be accessed, even by root. I can't find any way of
unlocking them and I haven't got a clue why this would happen.
When in the file manager and I click on one of these to open them the
following message pops up:-
Unable to enter file:/mnt/cdrom (cdrom2/floppy). You do not have access
rights to this location.
Does anyone have any idea why it does this and how do I get access rights
back.
Thank you

Thanks, just solved the problem. I did have the correct permission, but
the link to cpp was to the directory instead of the file cpp/cpp0.

The command is called printf and it has a C like options.

recompile your kernel with the option "support for a.out binaries"
either in module or not.
see the kernel-howto if you don't know how to proceed. but again, I
suggest that you try the alternative I told you instead.

You have, of course, no guarantee that _any_ compiler will produce
correct code.
Compiling GCC goes as follows:
Stage 1: Compile the source with your current compiler.
Stage 2: Compile the source with the compiler made in stage 1.
Stage 3: Compile the source with the compiler made in stage 2.
The last two compilers are compared, and if they differ, something is
wrong.

You have to run the w2k server's active directory in 'compatibility mode'
to join the domain with samba.
This is due to samba can only behave as an NT4 box and the w2k's active
directory only allows NT4 boxes in 'compatibility mode'.
This active directory mode can only be changed in the installation process
of the active directory.

not so bad, really

That's a pretty personal opinion.
And I disagree. I prefer LILO over the NT loader.

good advise.
I can give you some other advise.
Just add to your /etc/lilo.conf :
other=/dev/hda1 #I assume this is your NT C: partition
label=win2k
Now save the changes, and run `/sbin/lilo -v`
reboot, and at the liloprompt enter "win2k" (without the quotes)

We just got this ADSL and set up Linux Mandrake 7.2 but we can't get it

It's probably far eassier than you think.
try ./a.out instead.
You just don't have the current directory in your PATH

FIPS is for FAT partitions only.
Perhaps the latest PartitionMagic can resize NTFS5 ?
You know, NTFS isn't really an open standard, so it's probably a bit
hard for others to make an NTFS resizer. Even writing to it from linux
is not supported.

You didn't put LILO in the MBR, so activate the partition
where the LILO code is.

But if you use the micro-FSD system, how could you support
multiple bootable kernels? Eg, with lilo I don't worry if my
newly compiled kernel fails to boot. I simply press [TAB] at the
lilo: prompt and select the old kernel, boot using that and
reconfigure the new kernel to correct the error. This isn't an
issue in OS/2 where you don't have the option of compiling your
own kernel, but it is in linux.

there is a limit on the number of files that can be open on the system.=20
I believe the limit is set in ulimits.h(or maybe ulimit.h). AFter u=20
change the limit u have to recompile your kernel.

smp means it handles multi-processors
u should be able to recompile (after removing the SMP feature of the
kernel) and then insmod the driver again
read the README file in /usr/src/linux/ for info on recompiling your kernel

did u make just one partition for Linux? if so, on what cylinder of hte
hard drive does that partition start on? Is it beyond 1024? If so LILO
can't load any Linux kernels that are located beyond 1024 cylinders of
the drive.
U either need to move the whole partition closer to the beginning of the
drive (possibly causing u to delete the Windows partition and recreating
that one with a smaller size, then creating a Linux partition) or u make
a small /boot partition at the beginning of the drive(u may have one now
but it still may be beyond the 1024th cylinder), then make a windows
partition of the same size as the one u have now, then finally make a
regular Linux partition. This ensures that the kernel images are below
the 1024 cylinder limit and thus allows LILO to boot them.

1) is cupsd up and running?
cups 1.1.6 has got little stability probs
in 2.4.x environments with networkl browsing etc... it may crash.
Check ps ax|grep cups
2) Which lp Process did you kill ? (paralell ?)
3) Check the logs in /var/log/cups in special error_log.
4) What does "lpstat -v" deliver ?
5) Does "lp /usr/share/ghostscript/5.50/examples/tiger.ps" print out the
Aladdin tiger ?
... just my 2 cents ...
