Several tools for network stats. Google. ifconfig will give you the number of packets recieved /sent. Multiply by the mtu usually 1500 and u have the number of bytes sent /recieved since the interface went up. rgds jtd

Root(hda0,1) should be root (hd0,0) for Win200. where hd0 means the first HDD and the partition no is the next fig, so if Win200 is /dev/hda1 then the entry should be "0" in the grub. similarly the other OS entries must also be corrected.

Mumbai Map Archive
by Shekhar Krishnan 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

Dear All: I have uploaded a series of high-resolution scanned maps and satellite imagery of Mumbai City, Suburbs, and the Metropolitan Region, in the spirit of open geo-data. These are free for viewing, downloading, and sharing. This archive contains the Bombay City Guide series conducted by the Survey of India from 1929-69, which I obtained in the University of Chicago Library a few years ago, along with some other regional plans of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority and Bombay Municipal Corporation, and high-resolution composite satellite imagery of Mumbai from the NASA Landsat 7 series. You can view and download these maps at: http://www.crit.org.in/archives/maps You can view the images at different sizes, and if you want to download them, simply right-click on the image. To download the originals, view at original size and right-click. Please note that the file sizes are very large, between 5-25 MB and will require a fast connection to view and download properly. You can check the size of the image before choosing the size at which to view. We will be adding more maps and plans to this archive over the next few weeks, so please check back, and send me your suggestions for developing this Mumbai Map Archive. If anyone here is experienced with GRASS and Map Server, please contact me off the list. Best S.K. _____ Shekhar Krishnan 9, Supriya, 2nd Floor Plot 709, Parsee Colony Road no.4 Dadar, Mumbai 400014 India http://www.crit.org.in/members/shekhar

[ILUG-BOM] Windows 2k/2k3 won't boot <==Mandrake 9.2 & 10.1 Official
by Navneet Choudhary 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

Hi list, I am using Mandrake 10.1 Official on multiboot system. After installing Mandrake 9.2 (yes 9.2 NOT 10.1) on un-partitioned space. Windows stop booting. Since as per default GRUB setting, it should show non *Linux OS also in Boot menu. But, here it is not showing any other OS. NOTE: Boot loader might be installed on MBR (instead of first non windows partition)? So, I booted to Linux & can view non-Linux partition being mounted as below: #df-h /dev/hda1 1G 4.7G 11G 31% /mnt/win_c /dev/hda5 5.1G 4.6G 418M 92% /mnt/win_d and #fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda:40.0 GB,40020664320 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77545 cylinders Units= cylinder of 1008 * 512= 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 31206 15727603+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 31206 77545 23355045 f W95Ext'd(LBA) /dev/hda5 31206 41613 524519 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda6 41613 64700 11534638+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda7 64500 64708 1052738 83 Linux /dev/hda8 64709 65729 514552 82 Swap /dev/hda9 65730 69802 2052760 83 Linux /dev/hda10 69803 77545 3902446+ 83 Linux NOTE: /dev/hda1 Windows 2000 Professional /dev/hda5 Windows 2003 Server /dev/hda6 MISC (FAT16) Since, I am not getting any windows listing in my Grub boot menu.Therefore,i have manually added windows entry in it. Now, 1)when I choose windows 2000 at boot time: ERROR o/p:- Root(hda0,1) Filesystem type unknown,partition oxf Chainloader +1 2)When I choose windows 2003 Root(hda0,5) Filesystem type unknown,partition ox6 Chainloader +1 Lastly I tried installing Mandrake 10.1 Official��Once again it could not able to recognise windows OS installed on my Hard Disk. Now, please suggest how to revert back to my original configuration�.. Running Windows OS without formatting. Since it contains lots many important installation that can�t be ported without running original Windows. Accept my Holi wishes,play safe with colour!. Thanks and Regards.

[ILUG-BOM] Connecting a Reliance CDMA Phone SCH N 191 to redhat 9 system
by Abhishek Daga 25 Mar '05

25 Mar '05

Background: Using Monit, to monitor mail servers and alerts are sent to orange and bpl mobile phones using the email-to-sms feature. Drawback: Unreliable: Possible Solution: Monitor Remotely from local server and instead of sending email to sms, switch over to SMS-to-SMS. While going the official route would work out expensive, I plan to use the reliance phone where my SMSes are free. Now, how do I go about doing this setup. Ok, so a data cable will be required and purchased. Then what? The system is Redhat 9 and the mail server (if it matters) is postfix. The alert system is Monit. Any thoughts, development on this done before? Thanks again. abhishek __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

NEWS: CentOS has released an RHEL clone
by Clinton Goveas 25 Mar '05

25 Mar '05

A news.com report writes: *"It took Red Hat 16 months to produce the newest version of its premium Linux product, which went on sale in February for as much as $2,499 per computer per year. *It took a group of programmers less than two weeks to release a free clone. But the move could help Red Hat as much as it appears to hurt it."
