after reading a binary file sometimes the terminal gets all messed up and
everything is displayed in symbols. I'm sure everyone has done this a few
times. How can I get my terminal back to normal? Thanks a lot

one other alternative, if it is a GUI menu that you want try boot magic,
it is a part of Mandrake GNU/Linux.

If a person has a box connected to a network, but there are no daemons
such as telnetd, ftpd etc etc is it still possible for that box to be
hacked into?

this upgrade has become a disaster.
dselect is trying to remove kernel-image-2.0.0 and kernel-image-2.0.6
the ouput is as follows
removing kernel-image2.0.0...
dpkg (subprocess):unable to execute pre-removal script: No such file or
Directory
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.0.0 (--removal)
Please help, I just upgraded one of our servers from debian 1.3 to slink
and now i telnet is broken. I get an error when trying to telnet into the
box:
telnetd: All network ports in use.
Connection closed by ...
what gives??
thanks

I agree BIOS is ten no a hundred times better thean OF, half the time with
OF you are lucky to get a screen to see what you are doing. Anything was
better than that, even bootX, but I wasn't aware of the problems in bootX
before.

i agree that linux makes a great replacement for NT but that doesn't mean
that people are trying to move it into win9X world. Corel seems to be
pushing it that way. Red hat and Mandrake are now being sold on shelves
right next to win9X. I think that there is a push to move it into the home
user dom
Ever look at the macos installer? it has one of the nicest installers of
all. for a newbie it is nicer than ncurses or xwin based linux installers
and much nicer than a windows based installer. You can get full blown 24
bit color at full resolution with their installer. the UI is nice and easy

i have heard of there being probems running linuxppc on new macs, but on
the 8600 in runs perfectly (well close to). The buggiest thing that i
ran accross was
messing in the open firmware (my 8600 had old firmware), but bootx
came along and i never had to deal with that again. With bootx a person
if your ever look at buying a new computer to put linux on you may look at
buying an apple. the LinuxPPC group has declared their distribution to be the
easiest to install version of linux. I installed it on my PowerMac 8600
with no problems. I have heard many great things about Corel Linux aswell,
ya! i too finally got my proliant 5500 with SMARTII RAID controller to
work, but i installed from debian floppies. my method using potato (also
did it with slink) boot floppies.
1.download kernel source and compile a new kernel with SNARTII compiled in
2.cp the kernel into /floppy/linux
3.edit
well as far as i know dselect will start out where it last left off and
finish intalling the rest of the 130 Megs, i'm not sure if it has
installed these packages yet or not, i would guess not. if you are using
apt mehtod of getting your debs then they will be downloaded to
/var/cache/apt/archives/
how can i reconfigure my keyboard, i screwed up durrig the install of
potato, not my '/' key is 3 and i don't even know where the '\' key
ended up. all of the special keys are pretty much all a mess aswell.
thanks

comment it out in /etc/services
if the daemons are not running, then you shouldn't have to worry about
someone using the "r" commands to break in to your system so this
shouldn't really be required.

I have been reading about securing my linux box and it mentions making
/etc readable only by root. Would this mess up anything by making making
all of the /etc file permisions 600?

i am using debian @ work so i am using lilo. I tried the vga=791; however
on reboot, i got a blank screen. The system started up, i edited my
lilo.conf file (blindly) and rebooted. Ahhh now I can see. So i am
thinking that i need to do other stuff to get this working, what else did
you do?
thanks
I use linuxppc at home, and i can easily change the resolution of the VSs,
but at work I am stuck in 640x480, is there some way of getting more
resolution out of the VSs? I have tried vga=ext in my lilo.conf, but am
unhappy with the result. I would love 1024x768, the same res I run X.
thanks in ad

My workplace has a webserver, that for now is attatched to the rest of the

server off of the network. We are also concidering the

for a cdrom:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
for this to work there must be an empty directory /cdrom and there must be
the device /dev/cdrom do an ls to make sure these are there.
If /cdrom does not exist:
mkdir /cdrom
If /dev/cdrom does not exist:
ln /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
Will probably work
I am trying to create a c program that can interface with a dbm created
