6.1 errata

2005-08-06 Thread S. Anthony Sequeira
Hi, Starting a new 6.1 build. Maybe I'm getting old, but this is my first stable build since my first ever build. :) A quick question about the errata, should the versions in the book be built and then upgraded to the recommended versions, or would the initial build be done with the recommended

personally, i found it easier to just leave the machine turned on in a quiet corner, rather than go through re-mounting/chroot each time i want to work on it. i tend to find it serves as a little reminder/motivation too, and it means you can set off the huge compiles and leave the machine

Thanks Ken, this seems to have worked. suse reports on its boot that it can't find /etc/mtab, also, there is a fatal X server error, as it can find the screen(s), but none are usable I tried a startx, an int 5, etc., but no luck. Also, I'm using an nvidia driver (from about last march) and I'm

I am having trouble getting SASL and PAM to play nicely together (Im using postfix as my MTA). When I run cyrus-sasls saslauthd in debug mode, and then telnet to the smtp port on my pox, I see the correct authentication mechanisms being offered, which include plain. But when I do an AUTH

Hi all, Everything was going fine till I reached the stage where you install the first package (binutils) from source. While copying the source from the liveCD onto the hdd for unpacking, I started getting buffer I/O errors and the file could not be copied. When I tried a second time after

Thanx for the quick reply. It turns out the problem was that, while I had a pam config file for the smtp service, it wasn't configured properly. Copying over the one I use for sshd did the trick. - Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of

Users loading modules

Actually yes, that could make sense. The system has 128M of physical RAM. I take it that the live CD pools space from this in order to populate the executables. That would leave me with lesser RAM for whatever stuff I do. And to top this all, I simply ASSUMED that 'mkswap /dev/hda2' ensures that
