Hrm.... linux doesn't participate in the windows election process (IIRC
it is handeled over netbeui, but I could be wrong). Perhaps the order
in which you are turning on the windows machines is more important?
you appear to have multiple machines that think that they are the master
browser (not uncommon for windows), so they have to duke it out every
time they are turned on. They get in a little argument and eventually
one of them decides that it is the winner, and hopefully the other
realises that it is the loser.
I don't think that linux takes any part in the discussion, but perhaps
windows is mangling it's packets (also not uncommon) in such a way as to
glean a response. This is somewhat doubtful though.... you should get
thyself a copy of ethereal and sniff the entire process and figure out
what is going on.

Hi Gene,
I like this fast card since I a dual booting and using Win2k, I did take
the ATI rage 128 AGP card out and put in my 10 year old (slow)Matrox MGA 4
meg PCI card and it freaking worked. I don't understand why this 1 year <
card wont work. What do you recommend? give up on this card? is there
something I can do to get this card to work?
Thanks

I don't think anyone wrote anything offensive. The topic of
partitioning is very subjective and all I posted was a balanced argument
of ideas surrounding the issue.

No, this remark was not really aimed at _you_, it was aimed at the

You are missing my point - just because /tmp is USED dosen't necessarily
mean that it should have a separate partition. And, the real point is
the fact that:
If a /tmp partition is not suitable for ME, this validates my assertion
that "not everyone needs a /tmp partition" and, more generally,
"everyone needs a different setup" ...
> ... [Snip]
It was useful for you to post your partition scheme - it's of benefit
for those that have not partitioned systems before to see an example of
how it can be done. However, I believe that it is equally important to
understand the issues and reasons behind each scheme.
Really, no offense meant! :-)

It may, and it may not. I daresay it unpacks them under /tmp accrding
to the value of TMPDIR.

This is what I said.

You misunderstand the sentence. You SHOULD symlink it to /var/tmp. It
is a mistake to have a /tmp in the / partition unless you have no other
partition that can contain it. So it is usually (re)symlinked to
/var/tmp.

Why not link it to /var/tmp?

That's about right. It would leave you with 60MB for /tmp if you linked
/tmp to /var/tmp and had /var at 128MB, which I suggested as the
minimum size.

After I typed "reboot -n", I want to login again, but after I type the user
name, the server doesn't prompt for password. And when I press
"Ctrl+Alt+Del", the following message is displayed :
"You don't exist...Go away"
Can anyone help me to solve this problem??

Hi,
I want to download the packages for Ximian Gnome 1.4 for potato,
toast them into a CD and carry them home for much excitement. I have
downloaded all the .deb and .gz files, but I can find no Packages.gz
(and not task-ximian package...), so I was wondering what the best way
of getting something I can apt-cdrom add, apt-get install task-ximian
might be (there's around 250 debs here!)
Cheers,
Jos�

Subject: upgrade to RH 7.1 sendmail
Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 10:08:14 -0700
Hello,
I upgraded from redhat 7.0 to 7.1. I have a static IP and run sendmail
to send and receive e-mail from my localhost.
After the upgrade I was no longer able to receive mail. I'm able to
1. send mail to any address
2. receive mail from users on localhost
3. use fetchmail to collect mail from any POP account.
When I send mail from an outside host to my email address a message is
returned with the error:
" ----- Transcript of session follows -----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Deferred: Connection refused by
myhostname.mydomainname.
Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 5 days old
"
I've compared my /etc/mail/access file to my officemate (who's running
7.0) and they are identical.
Has anyone had similar experiences with the upgrade from RH7.0 to 7.1?
We've upgraded several systems on our groups computers and they all seem
to be having the same problem so this must be common.
Thanks
Scott Beckman
