Hmmm... I have UseCanonicalName set to On, which seems to mean that my
Apache server *would* send back the correct (ServerName) servername, rather
than whatever they typed in...
Could I be missing something else?

Are you using a linux system? I used cdrecord version 1.9 and it understood
.iso files automagically. My "burn iso" script (takes an iso file as
a parameter and burns a CD) is:
sudo cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=12 fs=16m driveropts=burnproof -pad -dao $*
the 'dev=0,0,0' is the device shown w/ a 'cdrecord -scanbus' command
burnproof is just for my plextor drive

What 7.0? Latest stable kernel is 2.4.4.
There are RH 7.0 and SuSE 7.0 and may be
others with 7.0 distro version.

However, almost every distro contains apache, SuSE even installs it
per default. Most distros have some tools (SuSE: yast & yast2) to
install/enable apache to be started on boot, check the manual that
came with your distro.

Feel like I've been pulling on a door, only to have someone mention I should
twist the door knob clockwise and gently pull.
In this case I'm using a Win 2000, Adaptec CD creator...

via-rhine based cards? Linux hates them, I had only problems with those
cards
on numerous machines, finally I decided to throw them away, they can be
used
with M$ boxes just fine.
check http://www.scyld.com/ for mii-diag and mii-tool and may be there
is a driver
which works for your needs.
Good luck

Greg,
I know that you've got this problem licked because I read through the
replies. I just wanted to weigh in and say, "Do you know how effing
weird it is to subscribe to a news group and see YOUR OWN NAME
already in the list of postings?!"
A similar coincidence happened to me in college in 1981, too. There
was this other Greg Robinson who flunked virtually everything he took
one semester and somehow OSU mixed up our transcipts. I about shit a
brick when I received 4 Fs and 1 D in the mail after I'd busted my
butt that term and knew, with absolute certainty, that I should have
ACED every single class I took. The good news is that we ended up
being punk rock drinking buddies and I flunked out the next semester.
So, see? It always works out in the end...
Well okay then. Yet another,
Greg Robinson

If you are trying to netboot I assure you you will find udp very
interesting. Talk and biff might also interest some people.

To me, the most useful part would be that you can have a service
that only listens on one interface. As inetd stands, it listens on every
interface you've got, which means that it may offer services on networks
that are not secure.

I DID use PM 5 on my disk to resize the ext2fs partition. Of course you can
resize only in one direction - towards the end of the disk. However sth fu*ed up,
propably because of my fault, not properly using dd command, so that the extended
partition fat was gone. Luckily i managed to manually recover it.

Ooh - that doesn't fill me with confidence. First of all, I will need to
move it down and resize upwards. Not sure if that will work.
Also, the bit about screwing up the FAT doesn't sound good. Was that a
result of *you* running dd, or does PM run dd for you "behind the scenes"?

Maybe it should tell you that my machine is home assembled
consisting of:
Asus A7V133-RAID ( I'm not using the RAID ports ) m/b
AMD Duron 700 mhz
128meg 133mhz sdram
WD200BB ( udma 100, 7k rpm, ide )
USR 2977/6
SB16 PCI ( es1371 aka 5880 )
Pine nVidia TNT 32mb AGC
I run Win98 which I installed first. NO problems.
Next RH 7.0 and the modem problem. Seems that
ppp/pppd can not share a serial irq ( my theory )
The 2977 can obviously share irq because it worked
in Win98. Therefore find a PCI slot without any other
serial devices sharing the irq. Perhaps you can
turn off Com1/2 in the bios if you aren't using them.
Also, the I always turn off PlugNPlay in my BIOS
This might help especially when changing PCI slots.
But you should try it both ways.
Did you call Gateway? Do you know what mother board
is in your machine? That way you can maybe get some
documentation on the m/b and perhaps someone will be
able to help you.
I hate to give up. ;)

I've installed Redhat 7.1 on my new system. I needed firewire so I
recompiled the kernel. I learned that modules won't compile with
version forcing on, so I disabled it and everything works fine.
My USB mouse no longer works automatically though. The modules
are there but they don't automatically load. If I explicitly load them
from the command line everything works great, but I don't really want
to do this.
I've examined /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and determined that at the point that
USB devices are looked for the /proc/devices file is empty.
I'm hoping somebody can give me a pointer. I've been poking around
for a couple hours but still am having the same problem. I don't really
understand why /proc/devices would be created later.

Put the insmod command (to load the modules) in your bootup
script....unless it's changed (i haven't usedRH for a long time) your
bootup script is rc.local. This will load the modules everytime you boot
w/o you having to do it manually.

Not that many kernels.... I usually partition off 100M for /boot, and by
the time I do a full re-install (every few months) it's mostly full.

is there a problem with them sharing an interrupt? As in, are they not
working correctly b/c of the shared interrupt?
If the cards are PCI and everything is working fine then they *are*
working correctly and you don't need to do anything. PCI is made to be
able to share interupts across devices. If there are problems however
I'd suggest moving one of the cards to another PCI slot ( if the sound
card is ISA then set some jumpers if you can to make it use another IRQ).

stdout, stdin, and stderr, all have a # associated with them (file
descriptor might be appropriate name?). You can
get the right assignments by viewing the man page for bash. I forget
which # is assigned to what (stderr, stdout, etc.) but the point is that
you are telling the shell to redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null by

corresponds to stdout, read man page like i said).
