By the way, what do you use as insulation material? I'm using foam padding kind of stuff that came with the board's packaging. Sarfaraz. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

My anology of his statement is that he is a Windows user who is used to configuring all three in the same dialog box. Vivek ---- Get Urchin 6 On Demand web analytics.

It is possible that some part of your motherboard is touching the base plate of the cabinet. In such situations the system doesn't boot up. This *could* have happened when you depressed the board to install the new CMOS battery. Try lifting up the board a little with your finger tip. I usually have insulation between the board and base plate. Could be, Could be not, Couldn't say for sure. Vivek ---- Get Urchin 6 On Demand web analytics.

pacenet connection - steps to follow
by rohit bhute 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I've read through the archives for pacenet problems. 1. I used the pppoe command. Does that mean I've rp-pppoe installed ? 2. What exactly do I tell the pacenet people when I tell them to create a linux user for me ? 3. I have Fedora Core 2 updates. Can I use them on Core 1 ? -- Take back the Web - Get Firefox Rohit V.

[ILUG-BOM] online monitoring of log files on gnu-linux, aix and hp-ux
by Trevor Warren 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Morning Guys/Gals, Me has an urgent need of advice from your end. Hoping for some pointers. For one of TCS's client we have configured Nagios and a host of other GPL'ed applns top aid him in Network Monitoring as part of a very large project. This last problem has me stumped. In my network consisting of purely AIX/Gnu-Linux/HP-UX i have to provide a single console for monitoring all logs and trigger an alert/alarm as soon as a particular message comes up in the logs. These logs will be both system and application logs and hence the messages to be tracked has to be customisable. Lemme know if someone has had this problem solved before or has any inkling of what appln we can make use of.

RAM Testing
by Rony Bill 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Dear Luggers, This is on topic. Has anyone developed a bootable floppy that only does the function of testing the RAM to simulate optimum operation conditions and give results if the RAM is good or bad. The problems with some RAMs is that they pass the bios test but make the system hang before starting the OS completely. It wastes a lot of time of the engineer to locate the problem as it could be due to a bad HDD, IDE cable or corrupted system files or RAM. Replacing the RAM is the only option available for testing it. The benchmarking programs that are available are platform dependent and need an OS to be loaded. If such a bootable floppy was available to test the RAM in full simulated operation then this would be very handy. Since the bios has drivers for the keyboard and floppy, no other drivers would be really needed and only the small RAM testing program would be needed on the bootable floppy. In future we can have other bootable floppies that test the CPU, motherboard and other devices *without loading any OS*. It would make life easier for the engineer. Regards, Rony.
