Thank you for your response. I think I might just let it install
everything. This is the one *major* distro besides Slackware that
have not yet tried out.

Isn't it a compile issue? Ie, one can compile the kernel and leave

IN the case of an embedded Linux, I can imagine someone would want
to strip it down as much as possible. By definition, it's not a
general purpose machine, so one doesn't have to worry, usually,
about coming up against some odd file system.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply, the error message was something to do with the
memory not being found or something, now I cannot get the error
because I solved the problem.

Thanks,

How do I change a readonly environment variable??

If you can do anything to it, it is not read-only, therefore,
logically, you should not be able to change it in any way.

As I mentioned in another post, you can export the variable, call
a new shell, and manipulate it there.

How do I make the CDROM desktop icon display when a CD is mounted

:-) I know this is annoying. In my KDE menu is this tool called
autorun that actually is my answer. I wasn't sure what it was suppose
to do. I click it and I then loaded a CD and bam! The CD mounted, the
icon displayed to the desktop, and the file manager opened showing the
content.

Two simultaneous ghostscript installs?

The only option to configure that you might need to use
is "--prefixe=/usr/local". That is assuming your system
has gs currently installed in _/usr/bin_.

And actually you probably do not need to use that one
either, as long as there is a major difference in the
numbers of the two installed versions.

For example, I keep a current version and an older
version available (I use /espgs/, and assume that the
GNU gs is the same), and have a version 7.07 and a
version 8.15 both installed. The support file directory
is _/usr/share/ghostscript_, and contains a _7.07_,
_8.15_, and a _fonts_ directory. The executable for one
was installed as /gs-7.07/ and the other as /gs-8.15/,
and _/usr/bin/gs_ is a symlink to the last one
installed.

In my case the _/usr/bin/gs_ link is to
_/usr/local/bin/gs-8.15_, and I have modified one script
(_/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster_) to use /gs-7.07/
rather than the 8.15 executable (because every version
of /espgs/ since 7.07 will bomb on huge, complex
photographs to be printed on 13x19 paper). The
/pstoraster/ script is generated to call /gs/ by the version
number, and normally determines what the latest one
installed is, so it originally called /gs-8.15/ rather
than /gs/.

FC4 Base installed -- no dhcp

I have no idea what will solve your problem. I only remember what happened to a
friend who asked why no dhcp. After some questioning I found he had installed
the ethernet card after he installed. He hadn't done much with the machine so he
simply reinstalled.

Myself before trying to figure out the possible problems I would do

yum list

and then

yum install anything-that-smells-like-it-might-work*

I opt for the lazy approach first.

Description: LTSP display manager
ldm is an X11 display manager similar to xdm, gdm and kdm, but unlike
those it wraps the X11 traffic within an ssh tunnel to provide a
secure login mechanism for remote X sessions. ldm provides access
only through SSH, not locally. It is technically possible to use ldm
to connect to the same host, but probably a waste of CPU power.

XFS-Partition trashed?

At least it changed the partition type and wrote a new bootblock on it

Yeah, i think so, too.

As written parallel, xfs_repair did most of the work on the image after
i had changed the partition type, so it's magic to me ;-)
 

My luck.
Like Reiser/Ext3, XFS stores a copy of its superblock elsewhere in the
FS and that made my day.
 

xfs_repair...
 

I'm happy not to need to dive into the deeps of XFS and its
doentations :-)
 

Thanks for your answer and help :-)
