Please help with patching kernel

Ah-hah. You missed the "edit the Makefile or the .config to add a suffix to
the name of my kernel" step, and then "make install" which does mkinitrd for
you.

Help: Bring up Web Pages in the cgi-bin directory

I bought a script for an on-line word-like text editor where several users can
work on the document. The instructions are minimal; it only says to upload
to the server, set permissions, and go. But the script also requires the use of
several .html pages. I'm going to try to put the .html pages on the public_html
and point to the cgi script.

But I hoped I could just upload to the server and go, as the docs say. I would
send the code, but since I paid for it (nominal 10 bucks, but payment nonetheless),
I probably should not.

It says free installation support, but the guy never wrote back.

That only mattered if your / partition (the one with /boot on it) went past
cylinder 1023 (namely, if it wasn't the first partition of a drive of more
than 8 Gigabytes or so).

That's because Fedora 3 uses a different CD directory.

change Device: Directory to /media/cdrom in the Drive 1 tab under the
CD Audio Player configuration item.

Linux: remote desktop connection to Windows XP

Posted: 04 Jun 2005 02:01 AM PDT

We do it two ways for truly remote connections. First off we use openvpn
to establish a secure tunnel between the two locations; next we use
ultravnc on the windows box or tightvnc or whatever on the Windows system
and tunnel the connection over the vpn tunnel.

We've been able to a variety of remote administration securely using the
core openvpn tunneling and vnc approach including managing a variety of
windows boxes, having a secure connectio to the remote vpn server, etc.

I would definitely recommend using openvpn for a vpn connection.

Yup , that was the problem. Doh! Thanks very much!

free space: discording info between df and du

/proc is a separate file system. So is /boot, usually, which is part of why
things are confusing. Never try to run "/du" on /proc, it's just confusing.
 

Wait. This is fairly pointless, and it will misreport the contents of
directories that have hardlinks between them for files on the same
partition.

You want to find out what your partitions are with "df", and run "du -x -h"
on those individual partitions to get the right information.

I've never gotten Linux down to that size (although I'm sure it's
possible), but I have gotten a fully functional NetBSD installation in at
~120MB. As long as you mount some stuff off NFS you should find it quite
useable.

Mouse Disabling Wheel Click Button

I'm afraid not.

Perhaps I have not described the problem properly.

The mouse has three buttons, with the mouse wheel providing the middle
button.

But this is very sensitive. So when I scroll, I often accidentally
click as well, which ends up pasting some selection in into what ever
I am trying to scroll over.

So I want to disable the mouse wheel button, whilst keeping mouse
wheel scrolling. Then I want to use three button emulation to get
middle mouse button functionality.

And alternative would be to have middle mouse button disabled while
scrolling with the wheel is happening. This would be the best option
of all.

I'm sure I had something like this working before.

Cannot boot Linux from hard disk Athlon 64, A8N-SLI

Posted: 01 Jun 2005 10:16 PM PDT

Upon further investigation, I discovered the problem is with ordering
of the
SATA disks. The disks are connected to connectors SATA1, SATA2, SATA3
on the motherboard, and they are seen as such by grub at bootup:
SATA1 = (hd0), SATA2 = (hd1) & SATA3 = (hd2). However the kernel sees
it differently: SATA1 = /dev/sdb, SATA2 = /dev/sdc & SATA3 = /dev/sda.
All the boot stuff is installed in /dev/sda1, but then at bootup time
that
partition appears as (hd2,0) to grub, not (hd0,0).

Any ideas how to fix this? Or should I just live with it.

Internet connection via VMWare (host=Linux, guest=XP)

I setup my DHCP and now have interfaces vmnet1 and vmnet8 up
(see ifconfig hereafter).

From there can I suppose my Linux is correctly configured for VMware Windows
XP guest ?

If no...what is missing ?
If yes, concretely how to configure guest Windows XP to go on Internet ie.
with Internet Explorer ('VMware PCNet Adapter' is already up).

Thanks,
Bruno

Need help printer setup on Redhat Linux

Posted: 01 Jun 2005 05:29 AM PDT

[ Followup-To -> comp.os.linux.setup seems best match ]

In comp.os.linux.setup RC <noaa.gov>: 
 

Sure you can, there's no need for any xserver on the system just
to run some xapplication. X is full network aware. Best idea to
use it through ssh, install the small XFree86-xauth package and
request X11 Forwarding via 'ssh -C -X remotebox'.

On the other hand cups can be setup through its web interface,
again you can use ssh to forward the connection from your GUI
browser to the remote system. Or reconfigure cups to be
accessible from your desktop, IIRC default is localhost only.

Good luck

Linux network buld server

Posted: 31 May 2005 02:13 PM PDT

I have a network server setup. I have a client server that I will use
to build drives over the network. The network server has NTP enabled
and the client server has PXE enabled. Currently the network server
recognizes the client via the PXE and the client recognizes the network
server. I need for the network server to partition the OS drive and
load the OS on the client server.
I am fairly new to this and need to know how I can make this happen?
