Ahhhhhh, that has to be it - thank you. I will try it. I guess that the "keepcache=1" has to be set before the first download of patches is attempted otherwise it will always be lost. Right, this...

Thanks for the replies so far. I am fortunate to have a 1GB network at my disposal so the speed of transfer will be quick. The yum thingy does not appear to download discrete RPMs and leave them...

Hello,
I have searched the forums and google, but I was unable to find the answer to the question below and I also have to admit that I was not able to come up with a sensible search string that...

I thought that it was just me. I have to admit, my work is rather dull at the moment, just reviewing documents. I too love linux and I love to learn all I can, but I have found that I have hit a...

This is soooooo scary and very accurate. Two weeks ago I was ... persuaded to rebuild my sisters windows pc because she had elected (for reasons only known to her) to turn off the anti-virus and...

Great idea - I have wondered about doing this myself, but I have not got the courage to try. I hope it works out for you.

I am using it with windows at the moment and I will add it to my linux setup at home soon. I have to admit that I like it a lot. I really need to play with it more to get a more considered opinion,...

I use VMWare Server rather than workstation, so I am not sure if this is available, but under VMWare Server (which is free from www.vmware.com), when you build your environment, in the item called...

I have a Brother DCP-310CN and this is supported under Linux for networked scanning and printing. There is no fax on it, but there are plenty of Brother models that do have fax facilities.

Need to compile xfs into the kernel or as a module and load the module using
modprobe xfs

Perfectly ok to put a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit chip. A 64 bit OS on a 64 bit chip is even better, but you can get odd problems with low level device drivers, like BIOS drivers for wireless support -...

Qemu is pretty good, but can I suggest that you try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) - this is pretty good. Also, vmware server is free, though the ESX and GSX servers are not. Look for vmware server...

Would it not be simpler to boot into single user mode (at the grub prompt) and when at the command line, then type:
passwd root
?

As with all things, AMD are good for one thing, Intel for another. I was always lead to believe that AMD were good for Floating Point Math, so if you are planning to perform complex math, graphics...

Could use at or crontab to set them up. If you wish to use a graphical frontend, there is something in the KDE GUI, I think is called "remind"...

From a speed point of view, I have seen no difference, marginal improvement and a massive slowdown depending on the options selected. The only real reason I re-compile the thing is to make use of...

When I set out in the land of unix, I was told (at the time), that the only editor that you could guarantee would be on any unix would be vi... so I kinda stuck with it. I would not say that I am...

I am reasonably well qualified and experienced, but my bosses are not, result, I remain at the bottom of the totem pole. It is not what you know, it is who you know and how you can manipulate them...

A contractor that I used to work with once had this in one of his shell scripts:
rm -f ${variable}*
guess what, yes, the ${variable} was empty... took out our live scripts directory... :(

I like virtual machines for the ability to work on a virtual network. It affords the option of working on items like firewalls without having to cripple existing machines, you can watch the packets...

Check and see whether the su command is setuid. It needs to have the permissions rwsr-xr-x for an ordinary user to access it. The program should be in /bin.
Good luck,
