I've repeatedly recommended Vector Linux as being lean and efficient for
older laptops. Most PCMCIA network cards seem to work OK with Linux.

But whatever recommendations you get for distros, be prepared to try a
couple before you find one that suits you and the machine. Installing
Linux is nothing like as time-consuming as with Windows.

Nero contains image of a bootable floppy...?

Posted: 30 Jan 2005 11:57 PM PST

<https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg01512.html> is
the best reference I could find. IIRC it was hda3 (hda1 being win2k,
hda2 being swap). This, as I understand, is to avoid win2k overwriting
the MBR should win2k be re-installed...?

disk crunching at regular intervals

Even Windoze doesn't do this. :-(

Yes, it did a little. Now the crunches seem shorter and less displeasing
to the ear. However, the activity still persists.

I wrote a little script in Perl that utilizes the output from iostat and
alerts whenever a read or write operation is performed by playing a
sound and printing the number of seconds passed from last activity. Here
are the results I obtained (noatime turned on):

console:

democrac@shadowlands:~/perl$ iostat -d 1 -t | ./ding
READ 0
WRITE 1
WRITE 2
WRITE 1
WRITE 21
WRITE 1
WRITE 7
WRITE 5
WRITE 5
WRITE 20
WRITE 14
WRITE 8
WRITE 23

X Window, running Gnome:

democrac@shadowlands:~/perl$ iostat -d 1 -t | ./ding
READ 0
WRITE 1
WRITE 4
WRITE 5
WRITE 5
WRITE 5
WRITE 5
WRITE 5
WRITE 12
WRITE 11
WRITE 2
WRITE 5
WRITE 11
WRITE 1
WRITE 11
READ 1
WRITE 5
WRITE 1

Seems like it's a little worse under X.
 
Is this what you want?

Mandrake 10.1 Webmin Firewall issues

Entirely possible you wiped out your configuration files with new

Working just fine here on my Mandrakelinux 10.1.

Run the firewall setup in the Mandrake Control Center to get just
basic rules setup and then use webmin for more changes.

mingetty problem..

Posted: 29 Jan 2005 02:06 AM PST

I found the error to this irritating problem. I fucked up a bit....
I use dns2go and I have always started dns2go in /etc/rc.local with the
commandline :
/usr/local/bin/dns2go

It worked fine under RH9.0, it forked or something....

I upgraded to a new version of dns2go at the same time I upgraded from
RH9.0 > Lineox 3EL and I thought that I could start it in the same
way...Now I know....

Now I start dns2go like this :

/usr/local/bin/dns2go & and I have a login prompt and am happy :-)

Silly.....

Thanx to you guys who answered my initial cry for help.
