Can't Install - Kernel Panic

That's a bit odd that it should be complaining
about a scsi device since I don't have one.

I fixed this problem up by going to the RedHat Update
server and got the updated boot.img. After I wrote
the image to floppy and booted from it, the message
did not appear again.

Thank you to all those who replied.

Currently there is no 'audio' group. Doesn't seem worth creating one,

Getting the permissions to *remain* set correctly, though, was whole 'nother

For plain text files, Emacs (run under X11) suffices. Make sure your
distro vendor is not trimming away the i18n parts from its binary
packages.

For other programs, your mileage varies according to how well i18nized
those programs are. (e.g. gaim works very well. mozilla also
supports Chinese inputs, in addition to display. Learn about the
"LANG" env. var. Read 'man locale'.) You'll need to install 'xcin' to
type Chinese in these programs.

I remember OpenOffice.org did offer versions in a wide variety of

How to install Linksys PCMPC100 EtherFast in Fedora?

I am not really familiar with kernel pcmcia modules (just external

The one cardctl ident shows as "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V2)"
was not even listed in my /etc/pcmcia/config, but sort of works if added
to use pcnet_cs. However, it is erratic at 100baseT speeds (even with
Windows drivers) and works much better forced back to 10baseT (full duplex
works).

The one cardctl ident show as "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3)"
and label shows as Ver:C4 works with axnet_cs (seems to be artificially
throttled internally to work smoother at 100baseT speeds).

Unless you have an old laptop that cannot accept cardbus cards, a cardbus
pc card (32-bit) would work much better than a 16-bit pc card.

Ertan,

With skill, I meant more competences such as "can program with Visual Basic"
or "Sign language" than efficiency.

MS Project Server can manage resources competences, but not their
efficiency.

Some other planning softwares allow to say that if an experimented worker
can do a task within 1 day, a newbie worker would need 1,4 days for ex. MS
Project doesn't do that.

I agree with BJ; I can't envision what a display of links in summary

Piers,

Server will bring with it a lot of implied expectations about how your
PM's and the resources will work together and collaborate using the
product. Probably best if you look at the extensive material Microsoft
publishes about the product as a first step (www.microsoft.com/project)
to see if it fits your organsation currently ... and more importantly,
how you want it to be.

To decide if it's worth it, of course, depends on the costs vs.
benefits. Buying and installing the software will be relatively
inexpensive and easy. Deciding how to configure and then working with
the people will be the part that takes time.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Working Offline

Posted: 01 Jun 2004 08:13 AM PDT

Scott:

This feature is bullet proof. I can assure you that it works for everyone
and that you're simply making a mis-step.

After taking your project offline:

Log into your laptop using your standard logon to the domain, this should
work whether you're connected or not as Windows caches this information so
you can log into your correct profile whether or not you're connected to the
network. If you logon as another user, you won't be able to access your
offline project.

Next, start Project. If it launches directly to Project 1, then you need to
do the following:

1) Select Tools > Enterprise Options > Microsoft Office Project Server
Accounts
2) In the Project Server Accounts dialog, select the radio button for
Manually control connection state
3) Click OK and exit out of Project

Now start Project again. This time you should see the Project Server
Accounts Dialog just as you do when you're online, connected and want to
connect to Project Server

Select the Project Server account that you used to take the proect offline
and click the work offline button

Now, click File > Open - You should now see the open from Microsoft Office
Project Server dialog as if you're about to open a project from the server,
however the only project or projects that appear are the ones you took
offline.

Have all your Project Managers set their copies of Project to manually
control the connection state and teach them the work offline procedure
outlined here.

Please use microsoft.public.project.server for further questions about
Project Server.

How do I change the default date format in Word 2010 from US to UK (DD/MM/YYYY) for use with the Bibliography and other referencing tools?

Posted: 06 Mar 2013 03:05 PM PST

Basically my problem is simple but difficult to solve. My date settings under regional settings in Windows 7 are correct and set to English UK format (DD/MM/YYYY) and so are the settings in Word 2010. When I add a citation and input the full date, then create a Bibliography and view the bibliography at the bottom of my document, the dates all appear in US format (MM/DD/YYYY) which is not acceptable for my essay assignments. At the moment all I do is wait until I've added absolutely all of my citations, click update Bibliography, convert to static text and then manually change all of the dates around. But that's time consuming and ultimately incredibly annoying if I found I've missed a reference and have to do it all over again. Any ideas? Much appreciated :)

Applying Heading Styles to Words and not Whole paragraphs.

New to Styles and may be on the cusp of mastery or insanity.  Have gone over the guidance for creating list and heading styles found at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html more times than I want to admit and have reviewed all the Word 2007 styles-related movies at Lynda.com (several times for each of them, listening VERY carefully) and still cannot figure out how to apply a heading to a few words in numbered paragraph (the words I want to wind up in the TOC) and not the entire paragraph.  I've even deleted all formatting and redid my list style (about a gazillion times) and re-checked each one of 6 Heading styles - also many times over.  Per Shauna Kelly's guidance each of my multilevel levels are attached to the appropriate Heading - as Level 1 to Heading 1, Level 2 to Heading 2, etc. and Heading 1 is based on "no style" with Heading 2 based on Heading 1, Heading 3 on Heading 2, etc. It's driving me bonkers (and at this point it's a short drive.) Would really appreciate some help with this.  John

Works7.0 spreedsheet date function?

Posted: 09 Sep 2004 11:14 AM PDT

Hi Greeneich,

In Works 4.5a, Ctrl + ; provides the required input as it does not
automatically update.

Unfortunately, =NOW() updates in a spreadsheet and all values
in the date column would eventually hold the same (current) date.

Perhaps create an automatically incrementing column to hold the
current date with manual weekend exclusion.

=NOW() is ideal for a database solution to this query.

swap partition in RAM? Can it be done?

Because of a requirement to not have sensitive data passed through
non-volatile memory in an embedded system.

I have a system handling sensitive data using Linux. Memory size is
not open ended and I am not sure that the amount of RAM could be
sufficient to operate without a swap partition. If the OS and
applications reach RAM capacity in such a situation, no swap, no
performance - maybe even the system freezes?

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I am trying to work around
to get the system to avoid a lock-up if there is no swap partition.

If swap can be in RAM, then maybe I can limit RAM usage for
applications and stay within reqs. Its only an idea at this point on
how to approach the problem.

Question About Setting Up Linux Workstation

An NFS mounted disk is in all ways (excep speed) the same as a disk
mounted from the machine itself. The only thing that differentiates it
is that if the net is down so is the disk. Or if the remote computer is
shut off, so is the partition.
Ie, you are not dreaming-- it is easy. Just remember that if you put
crucial programs on the nfs disk , they will not be accessible until
after the nfs mounting is done. Eg putting the kernel on an nfs mounted
disk is a very bad idea, since nfs mounting does not occur until after
the kernel is loaded.

Yes, 9.3Gb is fine. Simply follow the on-screen prompts to install.
Its very, very, very easy. Give it a go and if you have a specific
thing you get stuck with, have a look on the Fedora site, then do a
quick google. If you can't find anythere after you've tried that, then
try here.

Thanks for the info. Now, I found "Network install" from a minimal CD
on debian.org. Hopefully the ppp connection stays up!

help with replicating configuration/disk/software to many machines - need food for thoughts

I manage 30 servers running slackware and redhat but my methods sould
be esaily scalable to 200. I use rsync and ssh to install and update
software on multiple servers. Sometimes you can rsync the binaries
with no problems, other times you have to rsync the tar ball plus a
script and then use rsh "/path/to/script" to install.

I also use these commands to set the time, check for disk space, etc..

Backups are easy. See the rsync section of
http://barry.hrp.com/backups.html

Other things I do include, checking that services are running and
sending a mail or pager message if there's a problem.

I'd be happy to post some of my scripts if you think they would be
helpful. Let me know.

Best of luck.

Module loading during debian install

Posted: 12 May 2004 05:57 AM PDT

Still struggling with this.

What I trying to do is install Debian on a machine that has mirrored IDE
raid disks, using Promise FastTrak100 controller and it's this I'm having
trouble with.

Booting from Woody install Cd, and bf24 option, it doesn't see the hard
disks.
I've built another machine to compile the drivers on using the said CD. I'm
just doing a 'make' on the FastTrak driver, no doing kernel build, so is the
set 'EXTRAVERSION to -bf2.4' relevent?

But the exact error that I'm getting is 'The loading has failed' when trying
to load the module. At this stage of install is any more info going to be
available?

Thanks for any help on the matter

is there a sensitive disk repair for Mandrake 9.2 ?

Posted: 11 May 2004 08:36 AM PDT

Hi,

I don't know if it is too late now, but if you can recover the system,
have a google search on Mondo tool, it's a super 5 star backup tool
which does exactly what you want, but you have to back up the system
before.... so at least next time it won't happen!!!

good luck

Problems installing kernel 2.6.6 on Fedora Core 1

Posted: 11 May 2004 06:46 AM PDT

In the meantime I had nearly everything else working...including the
internal ipw2100 wireless nic!

Suspend/resume is a bit unreliable though.
 

Thanks a lot, now everything works!
 

Thank you for the information but no than you ;-)

Primarily because I wouldn't put it first or second when given those
three choices.

Debian is a well-designed general distribution, with little or no 'fluff'.

RedHat is a well-marketed general distribution that many business and
personal users have settled on. It has a fair amount of 'fluff', but the
'fluff' doesn't intefere too much with its use.

Mandrake is a well-marketed home-user/clueless-newbie distribution that
many personal users have settled on. It has a great deal of 'fluff', and
(judging by the traffic in alt.os.linux.mandrake) that fluff is either
confusing to it's userbase, or inteferes with it's user base.

Dave Uhring has already told you how to do this with fdisk. If you are
more comfortable with resizing, rather than deleting and recreating, use
some tool to resize the extended partition, and then create a new primary
with ID 82. Resize the extended partiton to fit the space within it that
is already allocated as logical paritions. A decent partiton manager won't
let you pick a size that is too small.

I use the partitioning tools in the (non-free) System Commander, but it
looks like any of the parted flavors should happily resize and create what
you need.

Raid problems

> I'd check first if the RAID has already finished syncing 'cat 

Thank you. I let the machine syncing now. Speed is about 15 MB/sec, that
seems fast enough to me. How often does this sync process take place?
