Sure, because you don't need to think about them.;-)
 
 

"Unix file permissions" might be one.

Google says:

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html
http://www.december.com/unix/tutor/permissions.html
 
 
 

Amen, in addition "Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition" should be
helpful to the OP:

BTW
Sorry, if we don't have "better" questions currently.

Autoyast is useful for this: you can use "YaST2 autoyast" to set up an
autoyast configuration file, but you really need to read the documentation
on PXE, tftpboot, and autoyast to understand how to set it up. It will be a
good day's worth of testing and research, but it can work.

Guess all you need is to install some compat-*.rpm packages,
presuming you are running some kind of redhat to get your app
which is linked against those libs working.

Thanks a lot! That link gave me some idea what is going on inside.
My situation is that I have two hard disks. The first disk is for winxp. I
installed redhat on the second disk. My BIOS does not support boot from the
second hard disk. But my \boot partition is on the second disk. Do you think
it's that caused problem??

partitions question

news:DQ5Sd.244$ntli.net:
 

Though John did make a point that the swap rule I said is a bit outdated on
some systems (my ultra2 almost never swaps with 2Gb of ram), much is
personal preference, just like the partitioning.

As for Mandrake, it seems you can use either grub or lilo. If you try man
grub or man lilo in a terminal like konsole, you should find which you
have. If for some backwards reason a bootloader was no installed now would
be a good time.
http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/MandrakeLinux/100/en/Starter.html/troubleshoot
ing-filesystem.html would be a good place to go for mbr (re)installs for
either, and the rest of that fine documentation should be a great aid in
fine-tuning that setup.

Got it working. I had the "Monospace" font selected, but I found that
the right margin marker would appear if I used other fonts. I'm now
using "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" which seems identical in appearance to

Strange. GEdit was happy enough to display its right margin marker when
using Monospace.

Notice the complete absence of any parm: lines in either of them!
So, somehow, for some reason, SuSE removed all parameter support
from their installation modules for these drivers. It seems the
source on the CDs does not match the compiled modules, since the
source sure seems to have the capability for some of the documented
parameters.

So, with SuSE 9.2 and a sym538xx HBA, it either works or it doesn't,
and it's a waste of time to try to tune it if it fails. Sure wish
they'd MENTIONED that in the installation docs!!! :( :( :(

Thanks SuSE for a delightful un-intended tour through the source. :(#

Thanks, Jerry, for giving me the key to answer the question, and
move on. :)

It certainly should. The PPro is a 686-class chip, basically a PII in
a Socket 8 package with a faster cache (runs at base clockspeed) and no

Fedora or SuSE for centrino laptop

Posted: 17 Feb 2005 08:32 AM PST

In comp.os.linux.setup Berhane Temelso <gatech.edu>:
 
 

Dunno, why not install and try out? Never heard about "Centrino",
however it looks like my laptop (FSC) comes with it. It runs
Debian/RH, both work fine, only tested the built in wlan with
Debian, works. Seems to be some of the more crappy wlan devices,
needed some strange firmware to get it running. Didn't tried
bluetooth so far, irda works and this is all I need.

Suse usually works fine on laptops, unless you dislike all the
suse specific "features" and the box is powerful enough,
regarding speed Debian (with KDE 3) beats the crap out of suse or
alike.

What about you'd install both at the same time and try out which
works better for you? Later you can use the partitions of the one
you don't want for other purposes.

Good luck

That was just a guess. In the end those benchmarks are for comparing
machines within that test. Often you can't even compare benchmark results
from two different runs. Look at tomshardware's or anandtech's encoding
tests for example, which you can't possibly reproduce since you don't have
the file that they encode, plus they seem to be using different files and
codec versions for every test. So, a test conducted with a certain CPU
will give you different results in a later test, which is why tomshardware
runs the benchmarks with older hardware as well to let the reader see the
difference with the new settings.
 

You should verify the readings from lm_sensors with what your BIOS reports
to check whether you have the correct settings in your sensors.conf,
because 62.5C seems way too high for the AMD64 under load with decent
cooling. Thermaltake has online installation instructions for their
products which you might want to check:
http://www.thermaltake.com/support/support.asp

I would verify everything in this regard just to be sure to be sure that
your CPU doesn't burn.
