Still need help? I've been away for a while.

Damn that's [censored]y. Great tip. Thanks Danleff

If anything using swap will slow down teh computer even more. I have 1 gig of memory and I don't even configure swap. Linux will use swap space when it needs to as for forcing it I'm not sure. Did you try searching google yet? Are you sure it's rsync that's using all the memory? Maybe update rsync? it shouldn't be so memory hungry. you can run the top command from the cmd line to see what's using all the resources.

In theory you can recover any data that has been deleted and the goverement is very proficient in doing so. I've seen data recovered from Drives that were formated clean. The only way to really get rid of data is to use a low level wipe tool which will format then overwrite the disk with 1's and 0's (the gov standard is seven passes) other that that I don't know any other way. cat $filename > /dev/null may be better than rm $filename? I dunno?? I doubt it.

Create on volume group using vgcreate vg01 /dev/hda /dev/hdb that should give you one vg with the two disks hda and hdb then create you logical volume lvcreate -L 4000 -n nameof_fs home /dev/vg01/lvol1. This is just a starting point read the man pages on the vg and lv commands because I admin hpux and my hobby is linux I sometimes confuse subtle differences. My filesystems are set up like so... / /home I don't use swap cause I have a bunch o ram and teh sytem feels faster without it.

that this forum gets a lot of... author: I need help with something. reply: information request by helpful person. author: never comes back do these people find the solution and keep it to themself, do they run back to windows? Am I being too sensitive

gnome will extract in he same basic way from the file manager. just right click on the file and choose extract here and file roller will kick in and do the dirty work.

I unserstand what you're saying. I'm talking about the people that never give you back the requested info. what distro are you using? then they never post again. The dealership has a restraining order against me so I can't do that anymore.

if none of the hoary native drivers work you will need to get jiggy with this... http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ plugin the adapter and see if ubuntu can see any eth1 devices by running iwconfig in a terminal.

Did you try the forums over at www.bigadmin.com or www.opensolaris.org ? this may be a solaris thing. I don't know what's up with the unknown partition or how the boot loader and linux handle solaris, what partition type are you using for solaris and is it supported by your kernel? I've never ran solaris on x86 only my sparc at work. so this is only guessing and suggesting.

yup. I saw it at work Information security sent it out saying to check the threat level for HPUX and Solaris. I found the threat to be low, because we don't use it on our systems . this is the same ISD that recommends IE over Firefox. The lesson to be learned here is never use proprietary sotware when there is open source software equivalent

If it's perl or something else it will return an error. I don't know what ATI uses but if you wnat to try sh instead of teh permissions it won't hurt anything and will most likely work just as well.

What steps are you taking to connect? Are you just hopeing to hop on and run with it? Is teh card active? are you running dhcp? does your neighbor have wep encryption enable, do you have wep? did you try using ifconfig -a eth1 or whatever your wlan is. you can try running dhclient as root as well. godspeed brian. oh one more question. what desktop are you using, gnome, kde? Hate to bombard you with questions but I need more info to help.

The script needs to be made executable. chmod +x filename. If you do an ll in that diresctory it will most likely report that the file is rw-rw-r-- when it should be at least rwx------ That's all I got. sorry, I'm an nvidia guy.

I know very little about raids on linux and I know very little about mandriva and suse so I'm not going to be much help in that respect. However I have two drives set up one is sliced up as follows / /swap /home the other is for media with sub directories /media -music -movies -photos I put all my media files in the second and create a symlink to my home directory /home/music /home/movies /home/photos I hope this helps somewhat. If you have your heart set on a raid I'll keep my eyes open for anything. Just run fdisk on the hdb drive and set up your FS and add it to the fstab, Doen't mandriva have a good partitioning utility? if that's true use that instead unles you're comfortable using the cmd line.

There is a masive amount of bash scripting books and online resources, just google bash scripting. It depends on your learning style I liek by example stuff. Here is a pretty in depth write up http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

Try using diff to comparing your kernel config files. you may just need to add support for fat32 to the new kernel.

I really like PHLAK and Morphix. Both are modular, it's a fun distro.

Don't know if this is your problem but it reminds me of why I dislike redhat. Redhat changes linux standards, pkg names, and library locations. http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/#id2503931 Fedora Core 4 users are advised not to use the Java RPM provided by Sun. It contains Provides that conflict with names used in packages provided as part of Fedora Core 4. Because of this, Sun Java might disappear from an installed system during package upgrade operations.

Okay the link is good. I can't speak for the install but it sounds fine. I really don't like rpm's I'm not sure why your not getting java. What browser are you using? if a mozilla based browser go to aboout:plugins in the address bar and see if the java plugin is active.
