I'd use *yum* if possible, you need the software in package (rpm)
format which will in addition easily allow to automate upgrading
of all systems. Ask your app provider about packages or make your
own out of the apps. IMHO there's nothing more efficient then
using the systems package manager.

Want to upgrade RH7.2 to Fedora

Yes, barely. Fedora Core 1 and 2 have fallen off the support charts, and
Fedora Core 3 and 4 use a 2.6 kernel and expect quite a lot more disk and
CPU and RAM. So if you have to do this, I'd install only a stripped version
of the OS and start pulling out stupid things, like the ISDN and modem
utilities.

KPPP issues

TtyS0 is just an abbreviation for a certain IRQ and io port combination
to which the driver listens (and you can change both arbitrarily with
setserial). In the mobo bios setup screen you can similarly set any IRQ
and io port for your serial ports to talk on. You must arrange that the
two settings coincide.

In this case I assume you have left the first serial port at its normal
default, to which, likewise by default, ttyS0 is set to listen to.

But I would be encouraged by some PROOF, rather than an opinion. What
does your kernel irq and io port list show? (/proc/interrupts, etc).
Can you talk to the modem via minicom on ttyS0?
 
 

OK.

 
 

I don't understand what you mean. AT commands have nothing to do with
networking. They're the standard Hayes commands that all modems have
understood for at least fifteen, twenty years. Read your modems manual!
Or just type "AT" at it! It doesn't require knowledge. It should reply
"OK".

Then you have to read your modems manual to discover what the
appropriate initialisation string is for it. It's normally AT&F0 or
simmilar.

 
 

Well, don't do that. That's no use to man nor beast until you have
confirmed that you can talk to the modem, normally, through minicom.

 

No, that's what kppp says. Modems say no such things. They say things
like "OK" or "ERROR" or "BUSY" or "0".

 

That's possible, but you should check. In particular you should check
if it is set to produce verbose (ascii) responses, or just numeric
codes. I would have preferred an init string that established a factory
setting.
 

I don't understand what you mean. The question is perfectly
straightforward!


 
 

As I said, please don't do this. It is just plain crackers to attempt
to talk to a modem through kppp before you know if you can talk to the
modem at all!

Break out minicom and talk to the modem. See what it says.
 
 

No, that is NOT the problem. Your problem is that you HAVEN'T TRIED to
talk to your modem, yet. When you have tried and succeeded, THEN you
can tell the modem to talk to your ISP.

 

Pleasse stop this nonsense, and act like a normal human being - check
that you can talk to your modem first! What's the point in yelling into
a dead telepohone handset! I don't get it! Are you aiming for some kind
fo comedy sketch presentation?

Often, /sbin/lspci can give you a clue, and you won't have to open the case.

For instance, on one of my systems, /sbin/lspci reports

which, of course, is my NIC.
 

I found that the hotplugging support (a/hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-1.tgz) can
also recognize NICs, and with it you can forgo the rc.modules / rc.netdevice
route that netconfig sets up. FWIW, netconfig simply modprobes a limited set
of drivers, watching for the first successful probe

If your NIC isn't supported by one of these drivers, or the modprobe succeeds
(with the incorrect driver), or even you have multiple NICs, then you are in
some way out of luck. Better to have a more comprehensive setup process (the
'sysadmin', or the hotplugging support, for instance) than to depend on netconfig.

udev: What is it good for?

It is most likely gnome-volume-manager.
 
most visible for you will probably be automounting of hotplug media (mostly
USB so far). It is done by gnome-volume-manager that receives hotplug
notification from hald that gets notified in turn by udev.

Multi-boot liveCDs solved!

I know how to make multi-distro CD for certain types like knoppix
and its derivatives because it has parameters that allow that.
The problem is really trying to boot combinations of distros
that don't have those parameter features. Take Mepis for example.
But clearly this guy is pointing the way at the right
procedures to fix it so that it works. And it really is so simple,
but as you can guess, I'm still half way between newbie and proficient
to have known better.

Mutella available via sourceforge (I think) makes use of the gnutella
peer2peer network. Works very well.

Also as already suggested, a suitable bittorrent client (rTorrent) might
fit the bill.

Read and understand the documentation before you do it.
Run ntfsresize in test mode before actually resizing.

Connection problem

Hi Peter.

After a lot of tests I found out the problem, I guess.
The MTU parameter on eth, by default it was 1500, I turned down to 1400 and
now seems to works fine both on windows and linux clients.

It is not clear because I never touched that kind of configuration and I
don't think that last slackware update has done it too.
But now it works.

thank you.
