If you don't need anything super-special, I think download edition + contribs

 Thanks all for the help and direction.
 You are all very kind.
Always glad to help! :-)

 The case why I asked for this help is that we have a project to install
 Linux servers on several locations with the same/very similar settings.
 Unfortunately, the hardware is varied between locations so 'ghosting hdd
 is not the solutions.
I'm too about to write an auto-rescue-install for my own linux distro :-P

 Thanks again.
Good luck!

Re: [expert] Moving a partition

2003-11-15 Thread Artemio
To move a partition is a piece of cake. :-P

In your fstab you will see something like this (I use reiserfs everywhere):

#for your /
/dev/hda1 / reiserfs notail 1 1 #hda1 is my root - see what's yours

#for your /usr
/dev/hdc1 /usr reiserfs notail 1 2

So what you have to do is:

1. become root

2. go to single-user mode: 
# init 1

3. unmount /usr partition:
# umount /usr
and check if /usr directury is now empty
# ls /usr

4. mount /dev/hdc1 to temporary location:
# mkdir /mnt/usr
# mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/usr

5. now your /usr directory points to / partition instead of /dev/hdc1 - so 
copy (recursively) all data from /mnt/tmp to /usr directory:
# cp -R /mnt/usr /

6. now you have all /usr partition on your / partition - exactly what you 
needed. go to /mnt/usr and check if it is ok. now unmount /mnt/usr:
# umount /mnt/usr

7. go to runlevel 3 and checkout if you have what you wanted
# init 3

8. remove the line from fstab that mounts /dev/hdc1 to /usr - you don't need 
it anymore.


That's all. Good luck!

 move /usr to be one of the normal directories on the / partitions.
 Unfortunatelly most howtos on the net refer to moving from a hdd to

 move it inside the partition where / is (so where it would have been if I
 didn't have the wonderfull idea of putting it on a small separate

isp mail command - isp mail daemon - your local mail daemon - your local

Also, you want your isp to mail you your IP address, right?

There are two ways:

1. your isp mails it to your machine directly. both your machine and isp's 
need to have a mail server running

2. your isp mails it to your mailbox in www. isp needs a mail server running 
and you need a pop3/imap client to get your mail.

You have to set it to vga=791 in order to have a 1024x768 color console. You 
can set this vga=791 string per kernel image, or for all kernel images - then 
include this line at the top of lilo.conf:

Then just say lilo as root and reboot to see your new beautiful console :-P

[expert] mozilla native builds won't underline fonts

2003-11-04 Thread Artemio
Hey everybody,

I just got a v1.5 native mozilla build from mozilla.org.

But if HTML requires a font to be underlined - this mozilla does not underline 
it. However, the mozilla included in mandrake 9.2 does, and this mozilla.org 
build being used on redhat 7.3 also underlines fonts.

This was also there when I tried to use native mozilla 1.2.1 instead of 
included 1.3 on mandrake 9.1.

What could be the problem?

I assume this is because this is a non-Xft build. But this is what I want.

So, utext/u won't work as well as font style=text-decoration: 
underlinetext/font won't work too. 

I can send you links to screenshots if you want.

Re: [expert] minor annoyance

2003-11-04 Thread Artemio
 after upgrading to 2.4.22-18 the nice blue screen disappeared at startup
 ( the one with 9.2 in the bottom RH corner)
 It still starts up as graphical lilo then drops to text mode.

In order to have graphical boot mode, you need to have 800x600 frame buffer 
mode. The installation might have changed it to other mode.

Checkout your /etc/lilo.conf. My config was like this to have 800x600 mode:

...

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=mdk_linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 
splash=silent
read-only
vga=788
^^^
   your vga mode

...

You should have vga=788 in your boot kernel. 

Also, splash=silent append option changes the boot look (didn't test this - 
it probably changes to verbose mode just if you pressed esc).


I have vga=791 for 1024x768 console, for example - just because I love the 
oldschool kernel boot mode :-)



Good luck and hope this works for you.

 Suse and RedHat are different beasts entirely, from what I can see, most

 The difference in libs between RH7.3 (MDK 8.2 time) and now are so great
 as to make a number of older compiled binaries choke.  The biggest
 difference is that RH7.3(MDK8.2) is compiled with gcc2.9x and now it's
 gcc3.x The incompatibility is there.  Remember that the distro's aren't
 Linux, but rather packagers of Linux.  So they are subject to the
 problems there.

Of course we're talking of Linux as a distro, not the kernel.

Well, this kind of slight (or not slight?) backwards incompatibility has 
always been a bit of disappointment. And frankly, redhat 7.3 lives on my 
/dev/hda4 just to run than juno6!!! :-)

But hey - there are at least 300 _known_ distros, so what can you do...

Oh - 300 and one! I just remembered that I recently made my own Linux from 
scratch on a 128 MB FlashIDE disk :-) And, by the way, my installer is very

Re: [expert] POP filters in KMail don't work

2003-11-02 Thread Artemio
 I guess that that problem is not from kmail but mail server.

You mean that my mail server has some sort of disability?

What could it be?

I thought if a POP3 sever exists - it has the full standard RFC POP3 
implemented inside.

 Try this, Settings - Configure Kmail -Network-Receiving, select your
 account and click modify, check the box that says  filter messages if they
 are greater than you will see it defaults to 5bytes , change this to
 something smaller, say 1000 and I think pop filters will now work

No they don't. :-(

I set this to 1000 bytes in my POP3 account, but still, with rule any header 
contains penis I have all messages with subject penis downloaded anyway.

BTW - I had the same thing in kde 3.0...

So, anyone of you is using KMail and has POP filters working?

Hey - I found what I wanted!

THANKS, John!

When I add filter messages that exceed..., I have a pop-up window that asks 
me what I want to do with the messages. 

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HAVE!!!

I used to go to my webmail to delete all spam - but now I can do it with 
KMail! This feature was always there and I never tried it!

Damn, what a lamer I am! :-)

The other day I would telnet my mail server and talk to him via POP3 to delete 
unwanted mail, and then I almost started writing my own application to do 
this job! :-)


Thanks again and good luck!

Also, I set size limit to 100 bytes - as my test messages were small, and POP 
filtering works!!! All viagra, penis enlargement and micros$oft spam is 
deleted!!!

Thanks to everybody for their hints.

[expert] fonts problems

2003-10-31 Thread Artemio
Hi all,

I have Mdk 9.2.

And I have several questions about the way TTF and 75/100dpi fonts are 
working.


+++ Problem #1. I'm trying to use non-Xft mozilla.org builds of Mozilla and 
Firebird, but when HTML requires to underline the font, it is not underlined. 
This happens on all HTML pages. Even simple HTML code like this:

div style=text-decoration: underlinethis is a text/div

won't work - the text is not underlined. This happens only with TTF fonts.

Anyone knows a workaround with this?

The thing is I want to use non-Xft builds just because I don't like the way 
fonts are antialiased - they are too blurred and very hard to read. No, I 
don't have any vision disabilities. :-P But my eyes get tired very soon - I'm 
a web developer and I have Mozilla running 24/7 :-)


+++ Problem #2. Non-Xft applications treat 100dpi/75dpi fonts differently from 
Xft apps. For example, with using a misc fixed font of size 10, Xft app 
would show it this way and non-Xft the other way. Size 11 of this font looks 
the same.

Maybe there's a way to tweak fonts.conf?


+++ Problem #3. When using a 100/75dpi font like helvetica, if a cyrillic 
character appears in text, that character is drawn with some TTF font, while 
latin characters remain drwan with helvetica. ???


Thanks for any help.

[expert] where's the kernel-source package in download edition?

2003-10-30 Thread Artemio
Dear Mandrake developers,

the kernel source package seems to be missing in the 9.2 download edition.

As you know, it is required for compiling of many important applications (such 
as new drivers etc.). 

Will it be included in the updates?



Thanks very much and happy development!

:-)


Artemio.
