RHCE doubts Linux networking resource advice
by BIJU KRISHNAN 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

There's no use becoming an RHCE the usual way...go thru dumps...! You wont find any dumps although...! I'am an RHCT.....i got 85 % in the exam but was not granted an RHCE coz i didnt get 70% in the RHCE part I gave the exam on RH 9.0 so there must have been massive changes since then..! The fun is in preparing for RHCE and not giving it...dont worry abt losing money OR failing...be prepared to loose it the first time...and my bet is that u would atleast fare well if not with a high score..! The catch is that if u have a good hands on exp in the industry in a live env...RHCE is a simple exam if not...then u would have work really really hard..! RHCE has not much value if u cant answer interview questions..! As for the question from one of our members as to whether we could learn networking with one machine...well yes..! Use a PC emulator...with bridged OR host networking...! VMWARE and BOSCH are two popular ones..! Take a cable net connection and u'll definitely get a big LAN to sniff arnd..! I have learnt a lot with the big LAN we have got...i spend time sniffing arnd...! www.yolinux.com is a good place for beginners..! bye rgds bijuCyborg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Strange! KPPP Works...
by Rony Bill 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

I found an old CD of Mandrake 8.1 in my collection so I installed it. Somehow after restart its X11 did not function so I put in the RHEL CD1 and reloaded it without selecting any packages and no hdd formatting except delete the new Mandrake partition. It loaded smoothly and I found my system intact but the modem would not get detected. So the modem was uninstalled using rpm -e package_name. Then the rpm was reinstalled. Now the KPPP (with its existing settings) opens up the websites and email without going through the ritual of first starting 'Network Device Control'. This is strange but I am happy. Regards, Rony.

by ~~~ Rohan ~~~ 08 Dec '04

Hi, I am going to install Fedora Core 3. My knoppix system detected my cable modem (Askey Cable Modem, provided by hathway for cable internet) properly and configured it right. I have plugged the modem is USB and no etthernet or lan link is provided. It is correctly dtected as a network adapter/device in Knoppix and Windows XP. However, suse linux 9.1 personal detects it as a dial up modem rather than a network device. Will it work in Fedora? Any tips/known issues? Thank You, Rohan.

Pune GNU/Linux Users Group - http://plug.org.in/ -----Original Message----- From: linuxers-bounces(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in [mailto:linuxers-bounces@mm.ilug-bom.org.in] On Behalf Of Anil Gupte Sent: 06 December 2004 21:27 To: GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] New discussion forum for ILUG-BOM ! Thank you all who responded to the Salary Survey question. I could not reply earlier because I stopped getting mail for some reason. However, I read the archives. Seems like there was quite a range - 7.5K to 20K pm! Anyway, if anyone has any more inputs I will welcome them. What is this about the new forum? Is this going to replace the list? I would suggest that if you have a proper web site for this group, it would be nice to allow job postings and partnership opportunities. As someone else on this list said, there has to be a commercial component to any group. If the "Homebrew Computer Club" had no commercial component we would not have had Apple. It happened because Jobs the marketer, met Wozniak the inventor. Also, is there a Linux group in Pune? Thanx, Anil Gupte

Copying DVD's with kb3 - IO errors
by Shahed 05 Dec '04

05 Dec '04

Hi all, I am trying to copy dvds with kb3, but I keep getting I/O errors. Even when I try to use a simple cp -R * /tmp on the dvd mount, it copies a few files and then I get a load of I/O errors. However, the dvd is fine, as I am able to view its contents. I am using Suse Linux 9.2, and I am not sure where to look for the problem. Could it be the dvd driver ? Or is it something kernel related ? Any ideas on what could be the problem would be appriciated. Thanks Shahed.

Re: how to install from hdd....
by SHAILESH MAHADIK 05 Dec '04

05 Dec '04

Dear Rohit, I have done many such installations ( I was forced ..) (Necessity is the MOTHER of INVENTION they say ....) Infact I always prefer HDD installation cause they are much faster and don't require Cd changing also U need to create a the ISO images of the Cd's and place them in one partition.( u can use a seperate directory too....) Type may be FAT or EXT ( avoid NTFS) U must now the partition naming convention eg /dev/hdc1 ,/dev/hda5 ... Since U have opted the HDD installation I assume U know the way to get there... Regarding making the ISO.... U can use X-Cdroast if u know and are comfortable.. If u don't have a Gnu/Linux machine up.. Then try Knpoppix and U can find X-cdroast in it.. if U prefer command line: issue this command in the directory U want the image /dev/cdrom refers to Ur cdrom device dd if=/dev/cdrom of=FC_Disk_1.iso Note the of==output file, and U can give any name U want above is just a example (Please Choose Different Name for each Cd.. I know U know that ....Just Kidding ) Regarding Add -Remove Package.. It automatically check for CD-Rom for Disks and not where U installed from... OF-Course Unless U tweak it to do so ?? Now Once U have iso What are U waiting for then....... Start the installation........ Happy GNU-ing............. Do tell me Whether I was of any help or not ....

KPPP Problem solved
by Rony Bill 04 Dec '04

04 Dec '04

The problem of no site opening in KPPP has been resolved, although I don't know if the method is right. After a bootup, the 'Network Device Control' has to be called up first to activate any of the dialup accounts ppp0, ppp1, ppp2 ....The modem will dial to the ISP and then the sites open. The connection should be now closed to run kppp. Closing this connection is also tricky as it is never shown as 'active', either the RedHat software has bugs or its the third party modem driver problem, I really don't know. So a trick method was tried and it works. The 'activate' button is clicked for the same active connection and that interrupts the modem to start dialing again. As it starts dialling, click the 'activate' button again and this time the window waits. Immediately click on the 'X' button on the top right corner to simply close the window. This stops the dialing. Come out of 'N D C' and then use kppp as if nothing ever was wrong, till you reboot again. Regards, Rony.

I stand by both statements. IMNHO Trolltech's attempt to explain the difference between GPL'd / Commercial software is misleading and incorrect and your mail does not clarify this, which is akin to "agreement". The fact is that GPL'd software can be very commercial and can be distributed for any consideration deemed fit except changing the terms of the GPL. (just hoped into flame proof shelter ;-). rgds jtd
