Before uncompressing a tar.gz file, I highly recommend getting into the
habbit of looking what's in it first:
tar ztvf file.tar.gz
Be sure to note whether all the files are in the same base directory.
If not, create one and 'tar zxvf' into it.
There's few things more annoying than doing a 'tar

I dunno. 7.0 was already pretty much 2.4.0 ready, and the kernel

/var/log/messages has no entries since jan 5. Permission is 600, so it
should be writable.
the 'userhelper' program's suid bit was taken away so I could no longer

Just thought I'd try this one again...
I'm masquerading a cable modem connection using a single ethernet card
in the server.
Most of the time, from the masq'd machine, either the entire Internet is
reachable or none is. But there have been a few times where some hosts
are reachable and others a

I'd be interested in knowing what other mainstream apps people have
successfully run under Wine recently. I know, there's the winehq

rather useless.

Well my masquerading problems pop back up... sometimes everything works
great for several hours, but usually there are problems.
Both computers have their MTUs set at 1500. Is that good? Any other

Literally as soon as I hit "send" on that post it seems to have been

Thanks Justin -- if it starts up again I'll check into MTU stuff.

Hi,
I'm trying to masquerade a cable modem connection (static IP) with a
couple other boxes. Problem is, from a masq'ed box, the Internet seems
to work in "spurts" -- i.e. I can access a Web page and/or check my
mail, and it will usually complete the transaction... but then I try to
access anyth

Hi,
I have two RH6.2 boxes connected to each other by Ethernet, a crossover
cable. Both have 3Com 905 cards.
The names are eclipse and nova. The weird thing is that nova MUST come
up first, or they won't talk to each other.
If I boot eclipse when nova is not on, eth0 is not activated. If I

Something along these lines should do it:
