Downloading files

A specific example of one file. Most of those I run into are the source
code for a package (but that's what I download). Try using Midnight
Commander to see what's in it first before you copy anything:

<user>#mc

at which point you get an win explorer (or norton commander for those
who know) type screen) use your cursor keys to switch to the directory
of the file (tab to change from left to right panes) enter to enter (or
exit with the /.. file) a directory and then press enter on the file
when you get there. You can view any file with F3 (the single key not
"F" "3") and exit viewing with F10 (same as above).


Oh, and F10 to exit midnight commander.

How to edit initrd.img in FC5

Posted: 24 Jun 2006 01:27 AM PDT

Thanks ! that worked ..
but one thing, that took lot of my time -
cpio by default compresses files into an 'old binary format'
however initrd images nedded by fc5 kernels are compresses using the
'newc' format

that means you can incompresses the initrd , modify it, then
recompress,
but if you do not explicitly mention the 'newc' format duing
compression , the kernel will hang after loading itself and not budge
any further.---

(no! no! ) find | cpio --create > /boot/initrd_new.img (Wont ! work !)
find | cpio --create --format=newc > /boot/initrd_new.img (Will work
!)

Ah, you never noticed that a significant number of the messages posted have
that zonetime? When you post via google.groups, the "G2/0.2 User-Agent"
posts a lot of information (look _in_ the headers - try pressing the 't'
key in slrn while reading the article) and uses the local time in
Mountain View, California (about 27 miles / 43 KM Southeast of San
Francisco) as the posting time.

Well the OS is linux actually, Slackware is the distribution
 

Not the kernel per say, but the packages that come in a distribution
with a kernel version, say a 5 year old version of debian which would be
2.2 or so. Especially if you haven't been upgrading packages all along,
which as I say is a heck of a job, and getting linux in stores is a joke
arround my parts at least.

Sticky bit to allow access permission?

1. It's not the sticky bit (which shows up as a 't' or 'T' in the
execute permission for others), but the SUID bit (which shows up as an
's' or 'S' in the execute permission for the owner). See the 'chmod'
man page.

2. The kernel ignores SUID (and SGID) on shell scripts - it's a massive
security problem.

3. Use 'sudo' to run the 'adduser' or 'useradd' command. 'man sudo'
 

Well, that certainly won't do much. Perhaps you should start with the
Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO

-rw-rw-r-- 1 gferg ldp 31540 Jul 27 2000 Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO

and then wander over to the Linux Documentation Project at
http://tldp.org/guides.html and grab a copy of The Grendel's fabulous
"Advanced Bash Scripting Guide". From a recent post to comp.os.linux.announce

Announcing the version 3.9 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 700-page print book.
With 320 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an anti-spammer
script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.

The web site has the document in a number of file formats. I'd recommend
the HTML tarball

Make your boot disk on a floppy though as it loads your compiled version
of the kernel and if you don't, none of the pci hardware (other than
video and module loaded) will work when you boot the other way (with the

'hda' is the first fixed HD, on which my OS/2 system sits, 'hdb' is the
second fixed HD holding the newly installed SciLinux, and 'hdd' is the
old HD now put in as a removable disk. What puzzles me is that before
being supplanted by the bigger new disk, 'hdd' had the same three parti-
tions as the new 'hdb'. Yet only 'hdd1', which is the '/boot' partition,
is as expected, and readable. There was one difference between 'hdd' and
'hdb': in 'hdd' the sequence was /boot, /, swap, rather than the sequence
in 'hdb' of /boot, swap, /. I wonder if that could be a contributing
factor.

How to solve MIDI I/O error in Ubuntu Dapper Drake?

You don't show your /etc/modules.conf and your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
(locations vary) but I don't see any dependencies for snd_mpu401.
Shouldn't that be dependant on you soundcard? (crystal beach something?
- actual card involved would help along with those two files mentioned
by me above.) You might also do a (re)readthrough of the ALSA-sound
HOWTO from

http://www.tldp.org/

- go to main index beside HOWTOS to find it - they're alphabetical. I'm
almost positive the problem is with your ALSA setup particularly in
/etc/modules.conf
