IF it uses ipw2200 then the Linux driver works well, and should be a part

RPM 'failed dependancies' needed for OpenOffice rpm install

No, it should have been "fork". But good guess, and wok is funnier.

In theory, maybe you could do the RH9 update with RPM's, but ye ghods, I
wouldn't suggest doing it directly: resolving the glibc and rpm software
versions themselves is begging to make things fail unrecoverably in the
middle. Do it in one swell foop from ISO's.

Debian on G3 upgraded PPC 8500

Thanks for your response. Was tinkering to see if I could find some use
for this old 8500. I've upgraded to a newer Mac Mini for my daily use
but was wondering if Linux could give it a new lease of life. Mac OS 9
has been great but it's now "ancient". It would be nice if Linux can
bring it up to date for me in terms of browser and networking capability
(wireless perhaps, or is that wishing too much?). There's not much
hardware info I can view from the machine at boot up. I do wonder if the
onboard video chipset is supported by Debian. Was hoping that perhaps
someone has gone this way before and could give me a tip or two.

How to free the memory?

You might try top and sort by cPu usage to see what's grabbing all the
cycles, but it could also be a memory leak in some app too I suppose.
The list of hardware on/in the machine might help as well.

popcorn-like email client for Linux?

When I run Popcorn under WINE, it has a bug where if you delete one email,
it deletes them all! My WINE install is pretty old though. YMMV.

Fedora Command Line configuration tool

Oh, it's succeeded in becoming almost as usable as Linuxconf was before
RedHat, properly, threw it out the window and went to individual system-*
tools. If you need that level of management for most tools, I highly
recommend Webmin for most UNIX or Linux systems, and for package management
on SuSE use fou4s, from www.fou4s.org.

Slow Keyboard Response

Posted: 28 Jun 2006 12:45 AM PDT

Hi,
Just want to say that this problem seemed to be solved on its own!
Yesterday, I just started my system, and no longer does my keyboard behave
as erratic as that.

I've really not investigated on what really had happened, but, at the first
thought, I think the re-boot did all the trick. Never knew that Linux also
needs a reboot for solving problems ;-)

Thanks for all your suggestions though; they've atleast enlightened me on
what I should check before I send out an SOS.

Regards,
Arvind.

How to enable setuid scripts in Linux?

Posted: 27 Jun 2006 01:38 AM PDT

d and need to read the manual pages for both. 

Ignore my pervious post - the OP missed an important point about how
things are done, and I didn't even think of it as worthwhile or even
think of the possibility actually.

Problems with booting from external USB drive

Posted: 26 Jun 2006 01:19 AM PDT

Thats a rather strange behaviour !

Tell me something:
1.Do you have an internal hardisk or not ?, give all details of your
hard disk.

In amy case do this -
mount your fedora somehow, under knoppix or something,
copy /usbinitrd.img to a temporary location,
cp usbinitrd.img /tmp/usbinitrd.gz
gunzip usbinitrd.gz
mkdir tmp2
cd tmp2
cpio -id < ../usbinitrd

now you should have a lot of files in /tmp/tmp2 directory
edit the "init" file and copy and paste the contents here,
and also list the contents of /tmp/tmp2/lib (which contains modules
loaded at runtime)
or probably you could fix it up yourself,you just have to be able to
load the usb mass storage modules before making /dev/sda1 the root
partition.
I think this is the only problem,
It boots up sometimes and not other times is really strange!
may be the modules do not get enough time to initialize your hard disk
sometimes and in between the kernel tries to mount the root patition.
