Hi,
I have a dual boot machine running windows and RH Linux 7.3
I decided to get rid of windows and convert the partition to a native
Linux partitio. Here's what I did:
1. Used fdisk to delete the windows partition which occupied cylinders 1
- 1727
2. Created a new primary partition in it's place
3. Used mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 to create an ext3 file system on /dev/hda1
Now after mounting /dev/hda1 , when I do 'df' it shows me /dev/hda1 is
100% used.
When I go to the directory where it is mounted and do an 'ls -al', it
does not show me any file.
I am not sure what exactly is happening here.
Also /dev/hda is being mounted as a 'read-only' file system, even when I
specifically type
mount -o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/olddos
Why is it being mounted as read-only, and how can I mount it as writeable?
Would appreciate any help.

New to GNU-Linux here using Mandrake 9.1. Got a few questions.
1. Is there any utility which can get the power saving features running on a
Linux machine? This is not just about putting the display on standby mode,
but also possibly powering down the hard disks.
2. Any daemon to monitor the temperature of the CPU & possibly also CPU
fan's rpm.? Am using an Athlon XP 2000+
3. Anyway to make an iso image from a CD ? mkisofs looks like it can, but I
cant really figure out what switches I could use. XCDRoast has a duplicate CD
option, but the image it creates is an .img file and I am not sure whether
its iso or some other format.

hello luggers,
i have a doubt regarding installation of linux on a second hdd
which will be a slave hdd. do i have to place the boot partition
on the master hdd? and what about the swap partition? are there
any other different steps during installation? i guess i hve to
select hdb as the mount point for the root(/) partition.
thanks
rahul

I have Redhat 8.0 installed on my home system.
I am trying to configure Diald to connect to the internet.
While I went throu the diald.conf file I fould this command.
>reroute
Above the command,was a declaration saying some old kernels do not
follow the reroute command.
Moreover I am using wvdial as the chat connection script for
connecting to the internet.
thus declaring
>connect /usr/bin/wvdial
Now the problem is, as diald starts it creates a SLIP interface
which is also set as the default interface till the system is
connected to the internet, and is replaces by the network gateway
when connected.
Unfortunately, when connected the sl0/1/2 slip device always
remains the default gateway. I tried to 'route add default gw' as
the vsnl dns server, but this only disconnects the system.
Is there something I am missing here?
I am also attaching the diald.conf file
See below.
Thanx.

Subject: [Indic-computing-users] DrGeo in indian languages!
WAKE UP ! Time to translate properly DrGeo in Indian languages.
Mr Jitendra Shah already sent me .po files of Indian languages but these
files need to be largely updated (I think the Marathi is already in good
shape). Whoever is reponsible to update the language files, contact me
directly so I can send you directly your updated file to translate, it is
important I send you an updated file otherwise your translation may be only
partial. To this date there are abot 426 messages, if updated in regular
basis it is little job, only the first shot is painfull.

Hilaire

Dear Hilaire and all,
We are Final year BE Computer students from VJTI mumbai working under Prof.
Jitendra Shah on project named L10N & I18N. We are trying to localize
drgenius in marathi,one of the prominent Indian langugae.
We are attempting to port drgenius to gnome2 as per suggestion of Hilaire .
However to make the existing version localised, we did the following.
Please help and suggest ways out.
We followed following steps:
1. We took drgenius.pot and translated the messages in the same in
Marathi (an Indian language with mr_IN as international name), file
in 8-bit ISCII format. Then we unzipped drgenius-0.8.3.tar.gz to a location.
3. Then we added "mr" to ALL_LINGUA in ./configure script
4. We followed normal installation procedure (./configure, make,
make install)
5. After installation we got drgenius.gmo in
/usr/local/share/locale/mr/LC_MESSAGES/
We hoped this would work. It didnot.
But we didn't know how to switch from default "english" language to "mr" We
noted that "hi" was built in. We changed locale to mr. Still it didnot work.
So we copied that file to
/usr/share/locale/hi/LC_MESSAGES/
i.e. to system locale directory
Next we changed locale from en_US to hi when we executed drgenius blanks
were seen instead of translated messages. Thuis it appeared that our
translated file was being accessed and ascii characters therin were being
read but only non-ascii characters were not displayed. We tried to copy
fonts at various places. Fonts are isciidev.ttf from IIIT Hyderabad courtesy
Amba Kulkarni.
We tried to place the same in
/usr/share/fonts/indic/TrueType
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
~/.fonts
But that too didn't work.
Where should we place the font so that it's
visible to drgenius ?
We are able to use isciidev.ttf in
gedit
kate
kwrite
kword
That means it is being installed
Then why drgenius is not able to find it?
we are waiting for your reply.
Please send mail to:

Hi
I am using a tar command to take my 5 gb data backup
on Hp dat drive.
I am using tar -zcvf /dev/st0 directories to take
backup
For restoring tar -zxvf /dev/st0 directories to take
retore it
It is taking lot of time to restore the files .I think
when i am tring to restore any file it serially reads
all files prior to files i want to take backup so it
is taking time to restore it.
Is there any command by which i can tell dat to
automatically get forward to location of file which I
want to take back & restore it.
Rgds
