That's weird... I have apache running here and the only things I had to 
change were related to the directories I wanted use as base directories...
PHP was installed and is working (at least php_info() returns the info page)

Re: To HT or not to HT?

Hmmm.....I'm on a HT enabled Dell 9100 laptop running ndiswrapper, no
problem.......Oh yea, when I do compile with the -jN option the HT

resizing partitions


I had originally installed Mandrake 9.1 on a machine I built.
I had created a 10 Gbyte FAT32 partition, (on /dev/hda1), and later 
decided
I wanted to reclaim it for linux.  When I used Mandrake's "diskdrake", 
it pulled the new
"free space" inside the extended partition (/dev/hda2), and deleted 
/dev/hda1.  The free space
shows up as space at the begining of /dev/hda2, prior to where 
/dev/hda5 ( the first paritition inside the
extended partition).  In theory, all the
space is still there.  What I would like to do is to resize change 
where /dev/hda2 starts to be where /dev/hda5
starts, then create a new partition (/dev/hda1) to use up the free 
space.

I currently dual boot to FC2, and used the remaining two partitions for 
the FC2 install
(I used the LVM for one of the partition)

Any ideas anyone?
Has anyone had any luck resizing a partition using parted?

Thanks,
Scott

Yup, what follows it the dmesg output from right after the disk bombed 
out on the last bzip2recover operation.  Current logs show no new errors 
while badblocks is running.

sorry about the "paste as quotation" but that was the simplest option to 
get the error into this message.

which other logs would be useful?

nothing.

Re: Red Hat 9 to FC2 and email

Well, I changed /etc/dovecot.conf to have

default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

and unfortunately I get the same problem ...

I second the recommendation of the O'Rielly LDAP book.  It's a good
primer on LDAP in general and OpenLDAP specifically.  There's also
some good documentation on setting up OpenLDAP available on-line -- do
a Google search and you'll find lots of informative stuff.

Under GNOME, try putting something like this in your (user) crontab:

#!/bin/bash
# rotate the backdrop in X

PIC_DIR=/mnt/data/Pictures/Backdrop

cd $PIC_DIR || exit
CHOICE=$(expr $RANDOM \* $(ls 2>/dev/null | wc -l )  / 32768 + 1)
PICTURE=$(ls 2>/dev/null | tail -n $CHOICE | head -1)

nice -20 gconftool-2 --type=string \
    --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$PIC_DIR/$PICTURE"

Note: that \ on the penultimate line must be right at the end of the
line (no further spaces or tabs). Obviously, you replace PIC_DIR's
value with where you keep your pictures.

HTH,

Nothing else. Please read
