In a project I use a CD-ROM to do automated backups from within the
application (cdrecord 0.9). To achieve this, I do the mkisofs and
cdrecord calls using system(3). If I issue the (same) commands from
the command line, everything works fine. But for some strange reason,
cdrecord exits with error 10 (No child processes) after a short
time. The CD burner continues to work and finally I get a correct CD
just as expected. But the program shows an error message because
cdrecord exited.
Any ideas how to get cdrecord to exit with code 0 if everything works
fine? :-)

RH 7.0 and 7.1 changed the original inetd (deamon) for the xinetd. Look in

Date: Mon, 14 May 2001 11:48:54 -0700
Hello all,
I have a system that I'm trying to load RH 7.1 on. I'm using a 15GB IDE
drive and IDE cd-rom. I downloaded the images from RH and when I insert CD
1 and boot into the setup program after a few minutes I'll get an error
while it is running Anaconda. The error that I get is "Install Exited
Abnormally- Received Signal 11" It will then unmount everything. When I
use the same system but switch to the on-board SCSI everything loads fine.
Does anyone know what this error means? Also, if I put the CD-rom on the
Second IDE ctrl. and the drive on the primary ctrl it seems to work. If I
put both the CD and hard drive on the secondary ctrl it also seems to work.
But with both the CD and hard drive on the primary it will give me the above
error. I have tried different drives and have changed various things in the
BIOS with no success. I feel it might be a simple setting but can't seem to
figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards

It could be a driver problem... What IDE controller do you have and what

Have you entered the sync ranges correctly? You have to get your monitor
manual and find those ranges.
Another possibility would be to upgrade to a distro with XFree86 >=4
like RedHat 7.0 or 7.1. It can autoprobe those frequencies on your
monitor autoatically. You should consider to install a newer one anyway.

Eh, the page is ASP (a microsoft IIS php-like thing - a serverside
script).
But you are perfectly right - making anything browser dependent is
absolutely stupid. At least I cannot come to think of anywhere it could

That does not matter - it will work both places. Did you reload cron?

I am trying to update the Kernel on SuSe 7.1 and found out
that SuSe
doesn't provide makefiles or a .config file. I have done RH,
and Mandrake
patches, and not had the "No rule to make target" error
which is the
error I'm getting.
SuSe advised me to install their RPM of the Kernel (Via
Yast), but their
answer was not very enlightening on what the outcome of the
process should
be.
Does the Yast process create a new tree (I can't find it)
with the Kernel
patch and proper config files? If so WHERE is it? Or should
the RPM actually
upgrade my Kernel? In either event I need to enable a new
Kernel feature
that is now defaulted to disabled and need to recompile to
enable it.
I have the replacement Kernel and or a patch, that I want to
upgrade to, is
there any way to get this distro to use my kernel?
If anyone out there has successfully done Kernel compiling
on SuSe
(and remembers how to do it) I would appreciate any info.

The simplest fix would be to compile yourself a new kernel.... but if
you've never done that before then it may be a pretty big thing to do
(it takes forever the first time, then once you get a hang of it it
tends to go really fast)....
