Do other tools, like Kermit or perhaps HylaFAX see it? The kernel has to
recognize the serial device and start it, and the ownership usually has to
be correct for various programs to access a serial device. There's also the
old "minicom" tool to see if you can talk to it at all, but I really prefer
Kermit for that.

No KVM at the moment, but I will be doing so. It's an ordinary PS2 3

I don't think so. There'll be a RISC OS machine on the network, and
there's SAMBA and NFS clients for that but not AFS AFAIAA.
 
 

Um. See below.
 
 

Okay. I'll have another hunt around. Last time I looked there were some
for FC4 but not (then) FC5.
 
 

:)) You're out of date :)). I've been on -1.2096 for a while now and last
week upgraded to -1.2111. See below.

However, I just do a yum update every few days, and I've had 3 new kernels
2080,2096 and 2111 all just come down automatically.

FC5 lilo stanza SOLUTION

Getting fc5 working in lilo was the lastest OS I have
installed. Mandriva is the default/production OS. /etc/lilo.conf is in
the Mandriva install partition.

It seems using
root=/dev/hdb13
with
append="root=LABEL=/ ro rhgb quiet "
would create a panic and fc5 would halt.

The Debian handbook is a clear, thorough, well-written document. If you
can say what parts of it you have difficulty with then please post and
someone will try to expand on them for you.

In the meantime, you may want to try Ubuntu, which is essentially Debian
underneath, but with an install process that automatically gets you to the
graphical desktop environment of your choice (Gnome, KDE, XFCE are all
available, depending which CD image you download.)

Linux Command: time NO OUTPUT POSSIBLE

Posted: 14 May 2006 05:42 AM PDT

Hi again.

I don't have any objection to using the GNU time program (in fact I
think it's easier in the long run), but I would like to remind you that
the built-in bash version is scriptable as well.

I guess I was not clear in my other post. Whenever you execute a
script, a new shell is spawned (in non-interactive mode if possible),
and it exits upon execution. The bit I had about opening a new shell
and then logging out was in fact a kludge to use the `code' in
interactive mode.
 

The previous line says that when you execute your script (i.e., type
../the_script), the current shell should spawn a bash shell, which would
interpret the rest of the script.
 

So far so good.
 

Instead of this you could do:

exec 2>$2
time $1
 

At the end of the script, the spawned shell automatically exits
(instead of manually typing ^D).
 

Again, I'm not saying this is how you should approach this problem
(only that both methods are scriptable). I usually prefer using GNU
time (since it accepts many convenient options), but the advantage of
the bash built-in is that one can time somewhat more accurately by
removing a layer of indirection. Also GNU time is not able to time
other bash built-in commands without resorting to kludges.

Failed to install java 1.5 on Suse....ahhh

Well, there actually are a few pros using the plain stuff directly from Sun
and other java tools vendors: you get full control yourself, and all the
java-stuff can survive a re-installation as long as you don't have to
format the partition where it is installed, and you can share it between
different distributions, and even os'es, if need be. SuSE has done a lot to
make java-installation easy, so this is not the same as saying it is always
better not to use rpms, just that there are some advantages not doing it.

Debian can be an adventure to set up for newbies: it's really oriented
around the "ask for things as you need them" approach. When you installed
it, did the installer ask if you wanted to install X related packages? If
not, can you use "apt" to get and install them now?
