Linux does not depend on the bios for anything except booting. So if ur bios is limited to 2gb or 8gb or 40 gb depending on the vintage (and my memory) u will have to create the boot partition within this limit or boot from floppy / cdrom. All other partitions may reside anywhere within 2 terabytes. Grep the archives. there was a discussion on file, disk and partition sizes on this list a few yrs back, particularly if u r using kernel 2.2x. rgds jtd

GRAMPS... a useful GNU/Linux genealogy program
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 26 Sep '04

26 Sep '04

ANYONE OUT there wanting a good project to support and be part of? GRAMPS is being called one of the best (I don't know how far this is true) genealogy programmes in GNU/Linux. It's said to fill a long-felt gap, by Free/Libre and Open Source Software enthusiasts wanting to do their genealogy work without proprietory software. It has good documentation written up too. But there are a lot of tasks waiting to be done. If you would like to offer your help, for instance, check out: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=766130&forum_id=80993 For a brief introduction: "GRAMPS is a GNOME genealogy program for Linux and FreeBSD that allows you to easily build and keep track of your family tree." This project is at: http://gramps.sourceforge.net/ Thanks and good luck to anyone who might want to get involved!

... to post in this mailing list, other than being a list member. I subscribed to the list recently (successfully) and tried to post a question yesterday. The server immediately replied back saying my email is waiting approval from list admins. Is this some kind of a security screening against spammers. I was hoping that the admins would atleast jump into action sooner than a couple of hours, but it appears I was wrong about it. tj __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

One single partition on 260 GB HDD?
by Rishi 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

Hi A customer of mine wanted to install a 260 GB IDE HDD on this GNU/Linux server... He wanted to know if it would work. I told him to check the motherboard manual to confirm if the BIOS would support it. The kernel version is 2.2 (RH9) using ext3 file system so I guess it should support a partition size of 2TB.... right? Anyone here on the list tried it as yet? Any tips / advise on what to watch out for before buying the disk? Regards Rishi

Request u to try it on ur systems
by Pankaj 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi all, I have Gentoo 2004.2 system . I have found a bug in the shutdown process(atleast it logically seems to be a bug).I request u all to try it on ur system to check whether it is distro specific or related to kernel so that i can file it in the specific list. Procedure that led to the bug: 1)Booted the gentoo system 2)Logged in as user(non-root) 3)issued startx to start kde3.2.2 4)Logged out of kde.It put me back on terminal prompt 5) executed "su" to become root 6) executed "init 0" to shutdown 7) Last message on terminal "Power down" . Now the next step was something very very unexpected 8) Pressed "Enter".It brought me to command prompt as root. 9)executing "ls" gave me a directory listing of the root directory 10) Executed "man man".This command did not execute. I don't understand how did the command prompt appear and how did the "ls" command got executed when I had shutdown my system.

(Monitor, Qmail) related problems.
by Bilal Ahmed Mazhar 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi Please find two problems, any help will be appreciated. 1)----- If I don't touch any key or mouse for 10-15 minutes my Linux monitor's displays goes off and when I touch either of the device it comes again. I know its the facility to save unnecessary wastage of power. But I don't know how to disable it. 2)----- If Qmail is configured for gold.com as localdomain then any mail to ExistUser(a)gold.com is delivered to the user properly but NonExistUser(a)gold.com is bounced back immediately. How to forward NonExistUser's email to the gold.com existing on the internet. Second thing is when I fetch messages from gold.com to my local machine by fetchmail command it shows delivery to local users but messages don't appear in ./Maildir.

[ILUG-BOM] [commercial]Two Day Program on " Open Source - The Returns On The Emerging Technology" on 24th & 25th Sept. 2004
by pramila 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Open Source � The Returns On The Emerging Technology A comprehensive insight on the path-breaking technology ON September 24 - 25, 2004 Timings: 9:30 AM � 5:00 PM Organised by Iducate Managers Intruduction The rapid pace in which the Linux and the Open Source Movement have been developing meteorically in the recent years is being watched upon very closely by the entire world. The Open Source movement is an extremely powerful model for software development and advancement, and emerging economies like India particularly have a lot to gain from adopting it. �In the information age, value is based not on scarcity but on familiarity" - This is the seed thought for the movement. Open Source technologies is a term used to define those technologies which is available to the public in source code form, and which does not have licensing restrictions Open Source software generally is distributed under a license that guarantees the right to read, modify, redistribute and use the software freely. Much of the open source software is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). Objective To understand the Open Source Technology and achieve clarity of thinking for making cost-effective information technology based decisions. A further take-home would be a freedom of choice on decisions of softwares, an insight into the value-added benefits of the Open Source Technology and best-practices for smooth migration. Open Source is doing what GOD, government and market have failed to do. It is putting powerful technology within the reach of cash poor but idea-rich people. Just imagine what the cash rich can do with it??? And, YES�That is Revolutionary!!! Helping the Industry discover the benefits of Open Source Technology Linux and the Open Source Movement have been developing rapidly in recent years and are now seen as serious competitors. There are millions of user/s world-wide. Some of most successful and robust software on the web today has been developed under this license. IBM and Oracle are now among the 'big names' supporting Linux and have released Linux versions of their database server products. A high-powered lab has been set up to encourage open source development and research. Among the sponsors are Dell, Fujitsu, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Intel, NEC, Mitsubishi, Red Hat and SGI. The Indian government, too, in connivance with the President of India is promoting usage of Open Source software as the "platform of choice". The Department of Information Technology has already devised a strategy to introduce Linux and open source software as a de-facto standard in academic institutions, especially in engineering colleges. Research establishments have also been advised to use and develop re-distributable toolboxes just as Central government departments and state governments has been asked to use Linux-based offerings.
