Of course it's valid. Are you implying that your machine does not exist
in the DNS for your domain? Then add it. Mail the BOFH for your domain
with an order that your machine be added to the zone, pronto, and look
sharp about it or his paycheck will be confetti feeder fodder ...
 

Sure - millions. Read the man page for whatever you are using to send
mail with.

Executable programs

It's still not really clear what you're asking, especially in light of
the discussion which seemed to answer all of your questions. But I'll
make a stab at 1.: if I'm reading it correctly, you want to look at the
filename (''it''?), and the filename only, to determine if the file is
executable. There is in linux a 100% guarantee that the filename alone
means absolutely nothing as to whether the file itself is executable or
not. I could cp /bin/ls myinsanefilename and voila! myinsanefilename is an
executable.

But perhaps, if you clarified what exactly you're trying to accomplish,
you can get a clearer answer.

not necessarily. if you grow a partition, then data

you can lose data.

Hi, having some trouble with networking

Posted: 14 Nov 2004 07:37 AM PST

Hi,

Thanks so much for all of your help, it is very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, I have not got it working :( and even worse, I'm
approaching the final stages of my post-grad semester and am a little
pushed for time to say the least, so its back to windows XP :(.

I got so close though, machines could ping each other, samba worked and
I could access folders on the linux pc from windows boxes (even though
after a few hours it magically stopped itself, hmm) and the internet
stayed connected perfectly - but the coursework deadlines are looming!

I have saved all your responses, so when I have some spare time I'll
try it again (you may hear from me again in the future!)
Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated

Cheers, Jon

installation problems for multiple windows OS and Linux on same machine

I have a system with Win98, WinXP and Mepis. When I boot, I get a Linux
(lilo) menu that gives me a choice of Mepis or Windows. If I select
Windows, I get the WinXP boot menu that gives me a choice of Win98 or WinXP.

My system was dual boot before I installed Linux. Win98 on "C"
partition, first drive, WinXP on "D" partition on second drive. I used
Partition Magic to create a Linux partition on the first drive following
"C" partition. When I installed Mepis, I installed Lilo to the first
drive MBR.

Good luck, jimbo

Memorex USB Flash Drive Won't Mount -- "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device"

Thanks to all for the advice. I still don't have it working. Below is
the latest output from \var\log\messages after plugging in the Flash
drive:

Forgive the neophyte question, but when you say "get the latest stable
kernel," do you mean a full from-scratch install of another Linux? I'd
prefer to avoid that if possible; if it means falling back to an older
USB 1.1 flash drive, that's fine.

Partitioning with sfdisk results in alignment problems with parted

Posted: 12 Nov 2004 12:43 AM PST

Ok. Then I wonder why parted complians about alignment since sfdisk
takes cylinder numbers as arguments and partitions on cylinder
boundareis.
