GNU Toolchain
by Raseel Bhagat 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Hello ppl, I'm building the GNU toolchain for a= i386 platform, specifically , with my host machine being PIII(i686) As far as I know, I have to first build binutils, then the bootstrap= gcc and then glibc. My binutils is successfully installed. Fo= r my bootsrap compiler my ./configure is successfull with the following par= ameters --without-headers --with-newlib --enable-languages=c = However, Im getting erros while "make" ing . I pe= rsonally think that its a version mismatch problem bretween gcc, binu= tis and glibc. I'e been googling for the past two days and have tried= with lots of different versions. Has anyone actually compiled= a GNU toolchain for an i386 paltform? If so, would you guys mind telling m= e the EXACT versions and patches for gcc, glibc and binutils? = Thanks, Raseel.

dear all, I have a copy of partecs live demo CD containing the morphix flavor of linux. It is fine, fast and all that, but am unable to connect to the net from the CD. the pppoe mechanism detects the eth. I have entered the username - username@linux since I have pacenet - and password, but nothing happens. I cannot surf the net using the Live CD. Shiv Kumar

OpenLDAP Password field : Clear to MD5
by New Immigrant new 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

There are several entries in my ldap tree. A number of these have the password in cleartext format and I would like to change it to md5 or something else. Unfortunately, its a time consuming process to do it manually for each and every account. Is there a more efficient way to do it? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ >From will you? to I do, MSN Life Events is your resource for Getting Married. http://lifeevents.msn.com/category.aspx?cid=married

RK tried it on >three different systems. He had the same experience. The LFY Suse 9.1 LiveCD refused to boot in any of my systems. Worse, I couldn't even look at the contents since my CDROMs refused to recognise the disk. The issue here is the shoddy quality control while making the LFY CDs rather than anything to do with Suse itself. This is attested to by the no of complaints on the LFY forums. So, yes, if someone has a working Suse 9.1 Live CD then I'll be glad to get a copy and try it out. Regards, Rajesh

FlashMob
by Rajesh Rajani 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hi, Sending this again since it somehow got merged with some previous mail in the list and didn't appear in the TOC of mails. Regards, Rajesh Hi, I have finally managed to download the FlashMob RC4 iso. I have played around with it a little bit and here are the results. Basic requirement is 200 MB of Free RAM after booting (Morphix-based). I ran a test on a PII 300MHz with 128MB RAM. I have PCQLinux2004 installed on this machine and it runs like a charm. I could boot Linux and run the software. It ran the small benchmark giving me 0.1 GFLOPS but it didn't run the big benchmark citing insufficient memory. Next I ran it on a PIV 1.8GHz 512MB RAM in standalone mode. It ran great, and the small benchmark gave me a result of 0.5 GFLOPS and the big benchmark gave me 1.04 GFLOPS. Third test was to run it on my Compaq Laptop PIV 2.3GHz 512MB RAM in standalone mode. For some reason the SpeedStep technology kicks in and runs the CPU only at 1.6GHz. This happens with Knoppix 3.3 also. I still haven't tried it out with Suse 9.1 LiveCD. Anyway, the benchmarks ran but gave me pathetic results of 0.2 GFLOPS and 0.4 GFLOPS. I have no idea why. I haven't tried to analyse it yet. Fourth test was to run the server on my Laptop and the PIV as a compute node. Both nodes were detected. In this case, I got an insufficient memory error (don't know for which node, but I suspect my laptop). The benchmark ran and gave me bad results again with the big benchmark just yielding 0.8 GFLOPS. In the fift test, I used another PIV 1.8GHz 512MB desktop as the server and similar configuration for the compute node. No errors this time and the benchmarks ran great giving me 0.5 GFLOPS and 1.8GFLOPS for the small and big benchmarks using 2 nodes. Do you think we can try this out on a larger scale now ? We can discuss this in the meet (when we meet :-)). Regards, Rajesh

Hi all Suse 9.1 Live my not be very good for low end systems but my experiences with Suse 9.1 personal ( for which they provide free download ) is pretty good. I used it on a P III system with 128 MB ram (Compaq deskpro) and it auto detected all hardware. The response time is also very good. I personally think it is a very good distro for the desktop.
