Swap full
by Kishor Bhagwat 28 Jul '01

28 Jul '01

what are the remedies available when your swap space is reported as being full? this hasnt happened to me, but i'm just curious to know... Incidentally, what is the origin of this rule that i keep hearing - swap space = 2 * RAM I've heard this kind of rule being recommended when you're running SAP, but for home systems??????? especially when most home PC's are touching 256/512MB..... regards, kishor

mkinitrd tarball
by Kishor Bhagwat 28 Jul '01

28 Jul '01

hey folks the 2.4.5 kernel CHANGES document recommends mkinitrd-2.5-1. Now, i got the source rpm, but my version of rpm cant handle the new rpms. I've searched high and low for a tarball, but to no avail. I'm beginning to think that its a ploy to make me upgrade my rpm ;-) i tried that too, just that i'd have to upgrade db and god knows what not.. anyway..does anyone have the sources? regards, kishor _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Why do we hate Windows?
by Nikhil Joshi 28 Jul '01

28 Jul '01

I have seen many Linux users (Linux users in general and not just linuxers) referring to Windows or it's apps in rather demeaning way e.g. window$,win....,M$ Win.., windoze, etc. Why are we so intolerant ? I mean we have been using this OS since it's arrival .Most of us (I am not sure but I guess) have dual boot system . I am not professing the use of Windows but I think it is imperative for us to understand that Windows is here to stay ,at least in the desktop environment . Also I think Windows is affordable for most users ( OEM stuff ) .So I think the argument that Windows costs a fortune is not true. In Linux too we have commercial distributions ( Suse,Corel, Red Hat Deluxe Workstation,etc..) whose costs are comparable to that of Windows 95 or 98 . So the question is why do we hate Windows so much ? Are we jealous of it's success or is it just unwritten rule for Linux users to snub it ? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Connect it as a primary slave or put in another cable and install it as a secondary master/secondary slave if your Cdrom is your primary slave.
