Try file -s /dev/fd0 and see what it says. If that hangs your system
then there probably is a hardware problem. Cant imagine any thing new
has happened in Floppy drive technology which could kill Linux.

Does eject work on your CD Drive ??

[ilugd]: Re: how do I mount an extra drive and read it's contents

2002-11-21 Thread Vijay Avarachen




When I try the
mount command it says cannot find /dev//hdb1 in /etc/fstab and
/etc.mtab
fstab is the file that tells the OS where to mount what partition
mtab is the file that tells you what is currently mounted
My second
problem as of now is that I tried to reconfigure my Apache conf file
so that it accepts a virtual server but to no avail. Can I send you
both files so thatyou could solve my problem ?
This requires quite a lot of explanation. So instead im going to
forward you to the right document.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/examples.html


I am not going to email you my configuration files not because Im mean
or anythign like that but because I feel that Linux can only be learned
by trial and error. Spoon feeding is not the answer. Learn to
research and read faq's. Thats the best way.

good luck,
Vijay Avarachen




To mount a partition you neet to know its filesystem type (ext3 in most
recent distros such as redhat, mandrake etc). A quick glace at man
fstab might help you. Here is a example on how to mount something via
fstab
LABEL  MOUNT POINT  FILESYSTEM
TYPE  PARAMETERS DUMP/FSCK
/dev/hdb1   /mountpoint  ext3  
   defaults  0 0

  Dear Vijay,
  
  Thanks for explaining things so well.
  
  I have at present two problems as I
am new to Linux and trying to get things moving. Unfortunately no good
training sources here in India as of now although everyone is talking
Linux. Maybe you can think of opening something atleast an online
training system if interested.
  
  My problems :-
  
  1. Second HDD is on the same machine
is an IDE not a scsi and is a Primary slave. It has two partitions.
  
  When I try the mount command it says
cannot find /dev//hdb1 in /etc/fstab and /etc.mtab
  
  I read the contents of the fstab but
could not figure out what to add where ?
  
  2. My second problem as of now is
that I tried to reconfigure my Apache conf file so that it accepts a
virtual server but to no avail. Can I send you both files so thatyou
could solve my problem ?
  
  Thanks a lot.
  
  Prithu

 4. Is there any plan to get the rest of the site backend code
 available for public in the true spirit of open source? ;)

Nishi The source is indeed open in its true spirits. Making it
Nishi available is what needs to be done. Mithun suggested
Nishi putting it on CVS server but I guess, I am going to need
Nishi some help in having that set up.

savannah.nongnu.org would take it like a shot.  Takes less than a day
to create an account and get a project approved there.

[ilugd]: TOI editorial plugs Linux

2002-11-21 Thread Raju Mathur
['Ware -- crossposting]

Today's TOI has a editorial piece on Microsoft that mentions Linux
quite favourably.

excerpt
[that] could open one more front in Microsoft's ongoing war against
Linux, a free, open-source operating system. Mr Gates has been
dismissive of Linux, but other commentators are not so sanguine. As
the Economist recently noted, Linux has limited the progress of
Windows in the server market, as governments and big firms have found
it to be not only less costly but more flexible and more secure.

While Mr Gates was still in India, Madhya Pradesh chief minister
Digvijay Singh announced that all of MP government's schemes would use
Linux software. In Mr Singh's words, it was not a question of
Microsoft versus Linux but of choosing between free software and a
monopoly.

Glad to see that Linux is being touted for openness and not just price
by the mainstream press too.
