Re: Hard drive filled without much data

Elx has chosen rpm 4.0.3-1, so there shouldn't be the usual problem with rpms that fail to install because they are packaged for the newer rpm. All the development rpms have been installed, so installing more software should not be a problem. I'm looking forward to putting up xfce and upgrading the kernel.

Re: elx linux distro
I also did the download of Elx. I did 2 installs with it, same machine twice. MachineVia Apollo chipset, AMD K6 2-500, 256 megs ram, PCI Riva TNT Graphics Card, Fijitsu 10 meg primary with Windows, Western Dig 20 Gig blank secondary, Lite-on CD-RW, Generic 56x CD, Sylvania F74 monitor, MS Mouse, Sound Blaster 16 PCI. First Install Custom Went pretty much as Collins did except that I installed everything. Just to see what would happen. The Partitioning I think is a minor problem as I had the same problem being unable to select which hard drive. However after pressing tab and watching closely, eventually you could see a faint highlight on the Drive section then use the down arrow to select hdb. The rest of the install went pretty smooth and didn't have to do much at all except indicate DHCP and root password. After the reboot I entered KDE. Ran the config wizard that comes up to set up KDE Desktop. All went well. The panel and menus are re- done not standard KDE that we are all familiar with however its not that big a deal. Actually makes more sense and does not have as much duplication. The panel or taskbar at the bottom of the screen is totally different offering a selection of icons that launch a button menu of various programs. One such is the Internet button. Clicking it brings up a window of icons with all the internet programs such as browsers, messengers, email programs, download mgrs, etc, there is a 'help' or description screen at the bottom of the window as you rollover each button. In all there are about 6 of these icons in the panel. Desktop, Internet, Office, Development, Configuration, My Computer. Oh yeahOn the main desktop is an Icon for My Computer, very similiar in function to Windows my Computer, and also an Icon for Network Neighborhood, also similiar to Windows. I had 3 problems with the custom install, ELX did not configure my sound card correctly, nor did it configure the CD-RW or CD-R properly so that I could pop in a cd and browse. And finally while it did find not only the Windows hard drive on the machine, and 2 other machines that were also on the network. I could not browse or mount them for browsing. Because of the above problems, I decided to try a reinstall, so I deleted the partitions and did a. Default Install Almost is hands off install. had to select DHCP and root password, also had the option of choosing pkgs and whether to make a boot disk. Went well, it found and partitioned HDB and left alone the Windows Drive. Everything else was about the same. Had the same problems with the CD-RW and CD-R, Same Sound problems, Same no browsing of Network Machines. However, I had to leave for awhile and shut down the machine, when I came back and rebooted it, it went to Kudzu and found the sound card and configured it correctly. Still could not browse the CD-RW or the CD-R. I set up a new Icon for the desktop and discovered the problem or at least part of it. FSTAB had both set as CDROM not CDROM and CDROM1 also did not have the CDRW as a SCSI device altho CDR-Toast did recognize it and allowed me to configure it. I tried browsing, both but for some reason couldn't. I looked in the file manager and there were locks placed on /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/cdrom1, and /mnt/floppy. Why I haven't a clue at this point. Still couldn't browse or mount the other networked machines. Probably some simple configuration or other. The Distro appears to be either Mandrake or RH based. Uses RPM's. Default is Reiserfs. I felt a lot of thought and work has gone into the menus and into the installation and probably would work ok with only one CD-RW or CD-R. I also felt it would be a pretty good distro for a Linux Newbie. As long as there was someone to help out nearby if they ran into a problem. Sorry this is not more technical, but I wanted to 'play dumb' and see if it would do everything without any knowledge of Linux. As this is actually a pre1 distro, I didn't really expect it to be foolproof yet. One last thing, I was disappointed with the speed it operated on my machine, altho it was a bit faster than Mandrake 8.1 it was much slower than Libranet 1.9.1 all of which I have recently tried on this machine.

Bug/Feature: MDK81 mounts bad extfs2
Hello all, hope you all had/have nice holidays and an answer for my question: Up until 2 weeks ago my system was MDK 72 with /root on reiserfs. /home was/is extfs2. Whenever I had a systemcrash, MDK72 refused to mount /home without fsck. Now my system is MDK81 with /root on reiserfs. As I had enough space, I made a new install on a new reiserfs-partition, /home still the same. On sunday I had a systemcrash. On reboot (using the new graphical boot) no fsck seems to occur. Looking in /var/log/messages, I found Dec 24 10:49:35 localhost kernel: EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended for every reboot/start. I've done that, so my system is allright now and will switch /home to reiserfs as well, but I wonder if this is the right way? Shouldn't the boot stop as before?

Thus, I need symbolic links in / to point to those other directories on different partitions. It never occurred to me that there was some other way of doing it. Joel If you make separate partitions for var, home, opt, usr, whatever, then you can mount each at the appropriate place in /. That's the typical way it is done, and why you are getting questions about using links. Your method has the advantage that you don't need separate partitions. If hda4 contains both var, and usr, for example, then mounting it to / hides the other things there. So you mount it to /mnt/hda4 and link /var to /mnt/hda4/var. This seems pretty close to what you did. Then you don't have to decide how to spilt your free space between usr and var, especially if you aren't sure how each will grow (which is probably typical of home users new to Unix). As I mentioned, the bind option to mount can do this too, but it is a 2 step process because you can't tell mount about your var directory on hda4 until it is mounted. It would look like this: mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 mount --bind /mnt/hda4/var /var (and optionally, umount /mnt/hda4) Of course the real problem is the hassle of rearranging things when partitions fill up. The luxury of 50% free disk space makes this minor, but that's a luxury. What's really needed is a volume manager like LVM. I tried it a few months ago and it works well enough, but I had trouble resizing filesystems, which for me was the whole point. At some point I will try to use it again and spend some time debugging.
