I always put mine in /home/username - whatever you are logged in as. 
Did you check the checksums before doing anthing with the downloads? I use
K3b and that lets me agree the checksum before burning.>

As an aside I find that when I burn an iso that if I use my cdrw drive for
starting the install (both my dvd and cdrw drives are selected in the
bios) fewer problems occur for me, might just be my machine but I like to
err on the safe side.

Sure it is. "yum install lynx" should fetch it for you quite nicely.

How to Test Hard Drive Integrity?

Yes I should have.

I have a spare 8GB partition on the drive for testing new Linux distros.
I wonder if I install on that part. and overclock the machine, and if
I get similar failure, if I can be confident that the damage would be
isolated to only the "test" partition?

Probably a dangerous move. I am getting very close to needing to use
this machine for real work, so I may just have to live with never
knowing for sure what happened.

Good day!

Is Linux virus-proof?

The package manager doesn't matter for a binary exploit. What matters is
the exact version of the targeted binary. Malware that does not target a
bug in a binary just has to be able to find compatible libraries. Since
Linux libraries are backward-compatible at any given major revision level,
all that is necessary to target just about any available distribution is
that the malware be built with an old version of libc6 (or be written in
Perl5-base or Bash).

Of course, the hard part is inducing the user to install your malware...

RPM Verification Output

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 08:05 AM PDT

Thanks for the help. I spend most of my days working with Windows. Haven't
been involved in Linux since Redhat 4. I am running Redhat 9 and most of my
books cover version 4 and 6 from Redhat. I also have some 10 - 15 year old
Unix books to help confuse me as well.

I just love the sound deadlines make as they go by.

SSL vs. Mozilla

If you're using a RH7x Mozilla rpm, you need to install mozilla-psm to
get SSL support. Starting with RH8, I think, the psm binaries were
included in the main rpm.

Still problems? Include the output in your next post:
rpm -qa | grep mozilla

LINEX 9.1 INSTALLATION PROBLEM

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 04:08 AM PDT

I would guess Redhat 9.0. You only really need 3 CD's to install it.

I just love the sound deadlines make as they go by.
