Subject: Help wanted - updating a Linux distro's ISO image

While downloading the newly posted kernel updates to RedHat 6.2 the following question arose in my mind the answer to which might be of use to anyone who has to build numerous Linux boxes. If one were to replace arbitrary RPM (or DEB, or ...) files on the distro with updated versions and burn a new CDROM - would it still install cleanly? If I understand this correctly the answer to this is "yes" if the installer runs:

rpm -install kernel-doc

rpm -install kernel-doc-2.2.14-12.i386.rpm

The following error was scrolled down the screen:

bread in fat_access not found 

We are running Redhat version 6 on a PC and it has been running fine for about 6 months. The latest work done has been to start using CVS which was installed with the initial installation of Redhat. CVS has been working fine for about a week. Since the bread error appeared we are unable to login either at the console or remotely using telnet from windows. Every time we try to login the "login incorrect" error appears. We have tried all user names and root. The strange thing is that we can still use CVS from our Windows machines using WinCVS 1.0.6 to login and check files in and out. Basically we can't login normally at all. Has any body seen this before? Or know what 'bread' is? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Is There a Version of PC/NFS for Linux?


I have the O'Reilly book Managing NFS and NIS and there is a section in the back of the book called PC/NFS describing a Unix utility that enables a PC DOS machine to access a Unix machine using the NFS file system as an extended DOS file system. I am wondering if there is a Linux version of this available?

J.

[As far as I was aware, that program is an NFS client for the PC - it runs
on DOS, and lets you use NFS from a remote UNIX box. If I'm right, the
standard version should work with Linux.

You'd be better off setting up Samba though. It does what you're looking
for - makes Linux look like an MS server. This would be better for Ghost,
as Ghost works on MS shares. -Alex.]

Subject: Video help

Howdy I have 2 problems. First and foremost I believe is when I boot up linux none of my window managers will work. In my old computer they did but not in my new one. I think it is because my graphics card is not compatible but not sure about that I know that it is not listed in setup but neither was my graphics card in my other computer. Anyway I went to the website of my graphics card and they had a file to supposedly add support for my card to linux but how do i go about installing it? It is gzipped and to be honest I have no clue where I am or what I am doing once I get logged in to linux without any of the window managers. I have only had redhat about 3 days now:) Anyway I have the file I supposedly need on a floppy, but dont have any idea what to do with it now. Alos after I installed RedHat for some reason Win98 became EXTREMELY slow and is giving me probs and a lot of programs not responding any idea why this is?
Thanks for any and all help you can give me.

signed, NEWBIE

[It would seem that you are -extremely- confused here Jeff. It would appear you have no idea how to use the BASH prompt. Obviously, you need to read up upon the subject - https://www.linuxdoc.org has a variety of tutorials and howtos for Linux. Have you tried running 'Xconfigurator' (remember folks, it's case sensative)? See if your graphics card is listed there. To unzip a file that's gzipped, use the 'gunzip' command. That's about as much as I can tell you, since you do not provide enough information. As for your Win98 slowdown problem, I really see no link between installing Linux and that type of problem. Mabye I'm wrong, or mabye it's just you being a bit paranoid :) -Alex.]

Subject: VIRUSES on the Net !!!

Many articles have been written in the press concerning the virus "I love You " and similar one
It would be appreciated to have a general article in the Linux Gazette about the problem of viruses as many computers have both Microsoft Windows and Linux installed . What are the protections of Linux against virus intrusions ? What
differentiates Microsoft OS from Linux concerning this problem? Is it safe or reasonable to continue to use Microsoft Windows as it costs so much to the community to get rid of these viruses? To these financial worries one can add updating systems 95 Versions, 98, Millenium , plus WWW browser plus bugs plus plus.

Bernard

[I'm sure it's been said before, many, many times. But, just for the point of clarity, I'l say it again. Virii (viruses) are virtually a non-issue in Linux, especially those like the love bug. I myself have never expereinced that particular virus, but I've read about Linux users who have, and, after using a bit of common sense, I've come to the conclusion that it could not affect a Linux box. Why? The love bug is a Visual BASIC script designed to run on Windows computers. Under Linux, you could just download the script and read it, without it doing any damage to your system. Most virii will have little affect on Linux, most are Windows-centric, and only designed to run under the aforementioned GUI. There are virus scanners available for Linux, and true, there are Linux specific Virii. However, I wouldn't waste the time of the download if I was you - the odds of you getting one are -extremely low-. Thankyou, and goodnight. -Alex.]

Subject: read-only -> read/write

Back when I ran NetBSD, there was a way I could mount (or link?) a directory from a read-only medium (CD-ROM, NFS that I only have read permission for, etc.) to a directory on my hard disk as read-write. If I added a file to the directory, it would be stored on my hd. If I modified a file, then it would save my version on my hd and transparently use that version rather the version on the ro medium. If I deleted a file, it stored something locally so it knew to make it appear as if that file wasn't there.

Can I do this in Linux? If so, how?

Dear Linux Supporters:

I have started playing around with SuSE Linux and am impressed with the product. I have been a died in the wool Microsoft user for the last eight years. I have seen them step on a lot of folks and that is part of business. I have also put up with their mindless CD keys that make a network administrators life miserable. Not copy protected is what it said on all of their software. That was until they controlled the market now everything is copy protected.

But the latest rumor or plan that Microsoft has put me over the edge. I read the an article in the May 1, 2000 issue of INFO WORLD that Microsoft now wants to jam a "medialess OS" down our throats. The article is entitled "Users find Microsoft's medialess anti piracy play hard to swallow" explains their latest attempt to stop software piracy. This is it for me.

I have been an ardent supporter up till this. I want to convert to something else. The problems are my word, access and other apps that use MS apps. Is there a way to continue to use these apps without Microsoft OS. Or is there a way to emulate win apps or is there other apps that transparently use their files? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Suscribing Information

My Name is Aurelio Martinez (aureliomd@cantv.net).I am a linux beginner, and I have access to Internet only by e-mail. Is it possible to receive Linux Gazzete in HTML format by e-mail ? Thanks.

[Quoting from the LG FAQ:

The Gazette is too big to send via e-mail. Issue #44 is 754 KB; the largest issue (#34) was 2.7 MB. Even the text-only version of #44 is 146 K compressed, 413 K uncompressed. If anybody wishes to distribute the text version via e-mail, be my guest. There is an announcement mailing list where I announce each issue; e-mail lg-announce-request@ssc.com with "subscribe" in the message body to subscribe. Or read the announcement on comp.os.linux.announce.

You'll have to either read the web version or download the FTP files.

I asked our sysadmin whether we could set up a mailing list for the Gazette issues themselves, and he was unwilling, again because of the size issue. Many mail transport systems are configured to reject messages larger than 1 or 1.5 MB. "And I don't want my sysadmin mailbox stuffed chock full of bounced 4M emails."

Note to mirrors:

We receive at least one request a month to send the Gazette via e-mail. So there is definitely reader demand for it. If you wish to offer Gazette via e-mail, you would need to send out the current issue's FTP file along with lg-base-new (the changed shared files) every month. Users would somehow need access to lg-base (all the shared files) when they subscribe and whenever they reinstall the Gazette. I don't know how you would handle changes to the FTP files later (i.e., corrections to back issues). -Ed.]

Unfortunately this program has been taken from the WEB for what reason ever.

Please take a look at www.moonlight3D.org.

I have used this program before its "shutdown" and I am really sad, that there is neither suppport nor any updates any more.

May be you can achieve some informations about this case ?

Thank you very much for your help and for the Linux Gazette!
