Then there's something wrong almost any distro can be installed

seems most reliable. Enhance logging on the ftp server and check

you can't figure it out.

how to make a floppy which will boot up from /dev/hdc1?

Put in a floppy which you have created with /dev/hdc1 (not as raid, but
it probably doesn't matter) mounted on /mnt and lilo run with -b
/dev/fd0, and -C /home/mylilo.cfg, which has things in it like "linear"
and "root=/dev/md0" (or hdc1, whatever) and "image=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz.".

 

Test - make a floppy as above.

 

Then just change it :-).
 

I don't follow. Why do something so complicated?

already pointed out. gnome-terminal has a pulldown menu.
I don't know the name for telnet. Other emulators have

If you're referring to one of the text *consoles*

Is reiserfs slower to mount / on bootup?

"Enrique Perez-Terron" <no> wrote in message
news:home.lan... 

Hmm. Maybe 18 months ago, I think. I don't have the date of the last time I
slammed into this in hand.
 

*IN THEORY*. Basically, after enough errors, the disk will be taken offline,
the contents will be re-imaged to it using the contents of the other drives,
and the same bad drive will be re-activated or left off-line depending on
your particular controller and setup.
 

Oh, it was noticing errors, and reporting them to the upper layers. Reiserfs
was mis-handling it, attempting to continue operation when the system should
have been brought down for RAID-set reconstruction. Then the attempts to fix
the file system with Reiserfs-based fsck tools damaged things even further.

I had similar failures when a drive of similar vintage failed on an
identical RAID5 set with ext3, got a bunch of errors reported without the
intermittent and unreliable crappy behavior I saw with Reiserfs, the fsck
flat-out failed, and I got a chance to rebuild the RAID array with minimum
problems and no significant data lost, perhaps becuase ext3 failed earlier
and failed cleanly rather than dragging its nails across the doorframe,
resisting down-time.
 

They're pretty well understood: for example, if I'd had some spare space and
a smarter controller, I could have used one of the disks as a "global
hot-swap", to provide swap-out capacity for any of the connected RAID
arrays. I've had good success with that approach.

What do you see if you try to telnet to port 22 on the server? Can you ping
the machine, or reach other services on it that are running like a
webserver? If not, you may have a network configuration problem. If so, you
may have a firewall configuration problem. SuSE has a tool called YaST that
can be used for configuring firewalls.

Also, SuSE 9 is pretty out of date. I would update to at least SuSE 9.3, if
not 10.0, if you have to use SuSE.

Hi,

Try disable ACPI support on your mainboard. Are there interrupts enabled

The usb driver assigns a new address to a device on every plugin event.
On bootup there will be generated a single event to detect all devices
which are already plugged in.
Therefor it looks like the USB will be unplugged first an sane in again.
Its simple.

/sbin/udevsend is the new way of handling the hotplug subsystem and has
been introduced with the 2.6.xx kernel.
The udev-hotplug system changes a lot. Do you have the latest version from

Using different sets of resources

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 11:59 AM PST

Hi Cindy,

I'm afraid not in the same sense as the shared resources through a pool
file. You can create a value list in one of the custom Text fields and can
copy the value list from one file to another, but it won't be the same as
being able to pull resources from a shared resource pool file.

About the only work around I can come up with for wanting the Directors to
come from the pool would be to create a separate task (perhaps a milestone)
and actually assign the director to that task.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions or would like
more detailed information about creating the value list.

John,
Subproject tasks can be hidden as I noted before. Turning "off" linkages

the links. Even if the subproject is deleted from the master, the
existing links between that subproject and other subprojects will still
be active.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If a subproject is part of
the overall plan, under what circumstances do you need to make it
inactive? It's either part of the plan, (and links are relevant), or it
isn't. If we better understood what your goal is instead of the method
you want to use to accomplish it, we could be of more help.

Kevin,
I'll add a couple comments to Dale's response. As Dale suggested,
starting from the Resource Usage view will give the timephased data for
each resource. If the export is also done from the Task Usage view, the
timephased data for each Task is exported. Depending on the file
structure, the resulting Excel Worksheets can be combined to give a more
complete picture (i.e. timephased data for Resources and their
assignments). This method works best if there is only one resource per
task - not an unusual structure.

I you have, (or know someone who has), VBA experience, another option is
to develop a custom VBA routine to export all the data you need and
format it in any way you need.

Hope this helps.

Earned value: what's wrong with MS Project

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 07:07 AM PST

Hi Jan,
Your reply started me "playing" with EV based upon % complete & Physical %
complete and I found an interesting "feature." On tasks that were 100%
complete (both Work %, and Physical % complete) I found that I could make the
BCWP values disappear completely, both in the EV table and the timescaled
view.

I added the EV Method field to the EV table applied to the Task Usage view.
When I changed the EV Method back and forth for individual tasks and forced a
recalculation (F9), the BCWP values would disappear if the EV method was set
to Physical % complete and then re-appear if I set the EV method back to %
Complete and forced a recalculation.
This does make me wonder (like you) how valid the data is.
Hmm.... I think this one is going to keep me awake for a few nights......

If anyone has some thoughts, I'd be interested in hearing them.

New size of the attribute <GUID> exceeds the SQL server row limit

Try to limit text fields as they consume double the character space (i.e.
text field of 50 characters actually uses 100 bytes). Also there are
numerous fields on each object that can be hijacked as they aren't used on
the forms.

Attribute Size
Text\string Double
Date\Time 8
Boolean 1
Integer 8 or 10(?) can't remember
memo 16
picklist 16

You can run the following query from enterprise manager to determine the
remaining column length on each object:

SELECT ob.name [Table Name], sum(col.length) [Max column Length]
from sysobjects ob, syscolumns col
where ob.id = col.id and ob.xtype = 'U'
group by ob.name

Good luck!

Ask a MSFT expert about Outlook and CRM--this week!

Posted: 11 Oct 2004 10:15 AM PDT

There seems to be three issues here which I'll address, Tanya, let me know
if I missed anything.

1. Sorry, in v1.0/1.2 there isn't a way to filter offline data except by All
or My Business Unit. I understand the requirement, and I promise you that
we're fixing it in the next release. We've had a lot of customers who have
designed their business unit architecture based on this need, which
certainly isn't ideal.

2. If you uncheck "Do Not Update Outlook", Outlook will be updated. There
was a problem with how we did some synching stuff in the release of 1.2 so
we added this feature to allow users to opt out if they needed a quicker
sync on occasion. Interestingly, there's a fix in the latest roll-up that
should address the core issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;833621

3. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking with your last
question, but hopefully this answers it: Our sync model is designed so that
you will only ever take offline records that you had access to online. As
an MSDE user, you _could_ go directly into the database to look at these
records, so it wouldn't be acceptable to rely on CRM security to restrict
your access. Also, it's obviously pointless to spend time downloading stuff
you can't look at through CRM.

Maybe there is a filter turned on that hide certain e-mails. The blue
(depending on your theme) bar that is at the top of the e-mails that
indicates the name of the folder that you are currently viewing will
have a (filtered) beside the name of the folder. If it is there, then it
mean that some filtering is turned on and that maybe why you are not
seeing all the e-mails in Outlook. This filtering does not affect OWA.

After migration from 5.5 to 2003 mail delivery failing

Posted: 06 Jan 2006 02:30 PM PST

Here are a few more things I would check,

Are the ADC and SRS services stopped on the Exchange Servers?

Also check the GAL to ensure it is showing up correctly, if you are in
Outlook 2003 Cached mode you should force a download the offline address
book. You might even consider an update to the OAB on the Exchange 2003
Server.

Does it seem only the 5.5 users are having the issue or the 2003 users..or
both?

Basically check the GAL/Directory on both sides to see if they are showing
up correctly.

If that doesn't work.....

Are the people selecting the recipients from the GAL or are they using the
Outlook Cache? Sometimes that entry needs to be deleted if the X.400 address
changes for whatever reason. You can run a script to remove the NK2 file or
they can remove the entry manually. Then you force users to use the Global
Address list.

Try all of this, let me know if you need more ideas.

The version of works I have now is 8.5.
Am using Wordpad 6 to open the DOC files.
I don't know what version of works was on the other hard drive.

Thanks for responding.

History of Calendar entries

Posted: 22 Oct 2007 07:47 AM PDT

Hi Dave - Many thanks for your prompt reply. However this has not worked. All
the Find Now button shows me is data that is already in my calendar.

I even tried searching on words for events before the data entries â€" such as
my son’s wedding in June, but get nothing!

It appears that there is a rolling 3 calendar month cut off for all data in
my calendar. The last entry today is Monday 23 July. However I cannot find
any ‘settings’ or ‘options’ facilities that set this timescale.

Any further suggestions from you, or anyone else, would be very much
appreciated.

I have already checked out the Help facility and the Microsoft site did not
even find any responses for my searches on calendar data history.

Hi Guido and thanks for your reply. The person on whose behalf I am
checking now tells me he means Microsoft WORD which is a trial version, and
will only have a code when bought!!! Thanks again.

I use CutePDF http://www.cutepdf.com/


Works fine.

You can also use File /Save As/ file type RTF and most word
processors can open, edit or print.

You can get Microsoft Works 8.5 - OEM version for $9.99 plus Shipping
$4.99 from Newegg.com.
Go to their web site and search for Item#:N82E16837102081.
Otherwise you'll spend more time and money trying to get hp/compaq to
own up to their responsibility.
I am not affiliated with Newegg.com - I just constantly "window-shop"
for bargains and that's the lowest I've seen it.

Changing Print Size of Templates

Posted: 19 Oct 2007 02:10 PM PDT

Hi Judy,

A friend of mine sent me a copy of a Recipe 3x5 Card database for Works.

I will attach a copy of it in my next post.

Let me know if you can see my next post with it's attachment, some email
readers block attachments, if you are reading these post using Outlook
Express via Microsoft News Server the post and it's attachment will be
there.

How can I get works? (free)

Posted: 19 Oct 2007 09:26 AM PDT

jananne,
Works8.5 should have been installed by the computer manufacturer, if that
was offered with the PC. The license that you probably see on the side of
the box is the one for the Operating System, not Works.

1. You may need to check the OS recovery/restore CD and see if there the
Works Install files are on there instead of a separate CD. That's what
Packard Bell did with the PC that I bought in 1998, the MSWorks4.0 files
were installed when I reinstalled Win98 on the PC, using the restore CD.

2. If there is a restore image for your OS and programs, on your hard drive,
the files might be there, but that may result in you restoring the PC.

3. You might want to check under:
Control Panel> Add/Remove Applications> Window Components> See if there is
listing to in MSWorks8.5 from there.

Individual Label Microsoft Works 8

Posted: 18 Oct 2007 01:25 PM PDT

You are welcome Wally.

I find Label a very powerful tool, also just because it is called Label does
not mean it cannot be used for other purposes, especially with it's ability
to allow one to customize.

opening files from cd

Posted: 15 Oct 2007 02:38 PM PDT

Hi John,

Open your Microsoft Works Word Processor program, choose File, on it's menu
choose Open, navigate to the file you want to open.

If this opens your file then there is probably a file association problem as
to why Adobe Reader opens automatically.

I doubt that very much.
Sounds to me like a corrupted database.
Do you have an earlier backup you can go to?

I have 3000 records and 156 fields
I just copied and pasted into a word processor
that resulted in 910 pages.

Try that with 3000 records and see what you get.

I dont think you have enough space for data
in a database to run out of ram.

If this is so, then you have two options,
split 1 database into two/3/4/etc
or go for a relational database
but expect a deep learning curve.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your sound advice. I have my original Works package and will
retain it as you suggest - just in case. :-)
