Re: Is there any PGP Drive Equivalent for Linux ?

Has anyone implemented this on the 2.4 kernel? The HOWTO speaks of a kernel patch under 2.2. I saw a Suse release (7.0 I think) that supported the encrypted file system, and I also would like to know how to do it under RH (7.3). JT Todd A. Jacobs wrote: > On Fri, 11 Oct 2002, senthil wrote

Compiling kernel - need to mkinitrd or not?

2002-10-07 Thread John Thomas
I'm compiling the kernel under RH 7.3 I get a freeze after the "freeing kernel memory..." message, just before init is supposed to sign on. One poster suggested this is because of an incorrect cpu setting, but I've checked this. I've carefully followed the instructions in the kernel HOWTO.

Is this what causes a hang on booting a new kernel when "Freeing unused kernel memory..." appears, then init doesn't load (or execute)? I have that problem on attempting a kernal compile under RH 7.3. There are no errors about mounting ext3. John Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have newly-compiled kernel under RH 7.3. I used "make bzdisk" and wrote it to a floppy. Booting from the floppy goes fine until... after the line "Freeing unused kernel memory..." Then the boot process freezes. The only changes I made from the stock kernel were: (1) remove NFS support, (2

RH 7.3 does come with an icon for xv; I'm using it under KDE. I'm not at that machine now, so I don't recall exactly where the icons are or how you set one under Gnome. A find on xv.xpm will probably turn it up. JT Hong Tian wrote: > Hi, > > On RedHat 7.3/Gnome, after installing "xv" by # r

Secure file system in RH 7.3

2002-09-19 Thread John Thomas
I'm running RH 7.3. I'd like to implement a secure file system. I recall that a Suse distribution I used supported this via the loopback device. The HOWTO's about this are out-of-date and refer to patching the 2.2 kernel. Does the RH 2.4 kernel support this? Does anyone have pointers to i
