Partition Resizing/Re-arranging
I'd like to know if it's possible and if so, HOW, to rearrange my current partitions. Most of the data on /usr/local I am not worried about, as I have it on cd's (most of it's mp3's). My personal home directory I do not want to loose the data. The rest is only important as far as what the system needs. Below is my current partitions. FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 464M 69M 372M 16% / /dev/hda1 7.6M 4.9M 2.4M 68% /boot /dev/hda5 6.9G 33M 6.5G 1% /tmp /dev/hda6 23G 1.3G 21G 6% /usr /dev/hda7 19G 9.5G 8.0G 55% /usr/local /dev/hda8 14G 9.6G 3.5G 74% /home /dev/hda9 11G 201M 9.7G 2% /var System info returned from: uname -a Linux dragon 2.4.19-k7 #1 Sun Oct 6 20:29:56 EST 2002 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux What I'd like to do it combine /usr and /usr/local and add about half the space from /var to this new one. This is the original setup from my very first install of debian. I didn't have anyone to talk to about how to partition and how much to give each partition. I just picked up a linux book and estimated based on examples from the book. Below is an estimate of what I'd like it to look like when I'm done. FilesystemSize Mounted on /dev/hda3 464M / /dev/hda1 7.6M /boot /dev/hda5 6G /tmp /dev/hda6 44G /usr/local <-- /usr & /usr/local combined /dev/hda817.9G /home /dev/hda9 5G /var ***If you have any suggestions about partition sizes and arrangements, Please ***tell me. Right now I'm aiming for a large partition, to store mp3's on. I would like to move the old /usr/local to the /usr to make a new combined drive I would like to move 3G from /var to the new /usr/local I would like to move 3G from /var to /home I would like to move 0.9G from /tmp to /home The reasoning behind this is that I've found I'm using /usr/local a lot, and I am rarelyusing /usr and /var. I also have found I am using /home more, so would like to add a little more to it. I don't want to have to reinstall, so am wondering if there's a way to move it. I can, if I have to, install an additional 15G hd to use as a backup. I am a novice to linux still, I'm using linux because I learn best when I actually use what I'm trying to learn. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm P.S. if more information is needed, just ask.

Good luck. :) The reasoning behind using /usr/local for storing some files is: 1) Roommate that introduced me to Debian suggested I use my /usr/local for my publicly shared files (mp3's, video's, etc) 2) I add and delete users constantly, and if there's something I want to keep I try to move it to a central location. 3) Putting it in /usr/local has the added benefit that no one can delete it accidentally, unless they have root access. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm msg08648/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Ok, Sorry for the LONG reply back on the status of this. 1) I had to reformat, I damaged it to the point it wouldn't start for nothing. 2) I ended up learning a lot, (was down for 4 - 5 days though) When I followed the suggestions given..

ls120 (Howto make it a Bootable/Rescue Disk)
I have an ls120 drive. I am still pretty new, and have looked all over, but can't find a way to make an LS-120 bootable. I have found a way to reformat it and all the partitions on it work. It's like having a 120mb hd. (but slower) What I want to do is get a copy of my current kernel (or a new one after I customize it and set it up) and put it on the ls-120 and use the ls-120 as a backup system disk (ie: rescue disks). Any ideas? I've already tried all the things I could find for making boot floppies, rescue disks.. etc..

Just some pointers Please (Mouse wheel issues)
I am using: Linux dragon.ursine.dyndns.org 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux With AfterStep I have a Logitech Wireless/Optical Mouse. (cordless MouseMan Optical, by Logitech <-- Lable on mouse) It actually has 4 buttons. Normal 2, Mouse Wheel Button, and one button on the side by the thumb. The side button just does the same as the Mouse Wheel Button, so not worried about that, but the mouse wheel doesn't allow me to scroll. My mouse wheel hasn't worked since install. I believe I just have to choose a different mouse driver/settings. But I don't know where to go to do this? Just need a few pointers.. I should be able to figure it out once I know "where" to look.

Gvim & ColorSchemes
I have these installed: Vi, Vim, ViMacs, gtk-vim I mostly use gvim (when I can) and while I was using KDE instead of AfterStep. It would remember my colorscheme. I switched to AfterStep as it seems to not load down my CPU as much, and also when I login the first time to KDE desktop, it works great, but the first time I log off then back on, all the text is screwed. So until I fix the text issue, I'll use AfterStep. Back to the problem: I use gvim, and I'd like it to automatically start on the "colorschem = elflord" The closest I could get to starting with that scheme is to just use gvim -reverse But this only works when I start gvim myself. I use gvim as my email editor also, and the "-reverse" setting doens't work in .muttrc file. So I'm wondering if there's a way to save the colorscheme setting so that it always uses my prefered colorscheme by default? instead of this white-background one. Which I hate, as it's too bright. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm msg10503/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: *Solved* Gvim & ColorSchemes
Accidentally found the fix. I was looking through the files and tried some things. mkdir ~/.vim cp /usr/share/vim/vim61/plugin ~/.vim/ cp /usr/share/vim/vim61/doc ~/.vim/ cp /etc/vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc cp /etc/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc None of the above worked directly, but I belive is needed to make this part work. I was looking in the plugin directory and noticed all the files ended in .vim So I took a chance and copied the color scheme I wanted loaded into the plugin directory. cp /usr/share/vim/vim61/colors/ ~/.vim/plugin/ *I'm guessing this'll make it a per-user setting, or you could probably copy it to the main vim plugin directory for an all users color.* It worked.

Apache2 (php not working)
Apache2 says it supports PHP (at least on the website), and I have php4 installed. And it was working when I was just using the normal apache server. I was wondering if it's broken and I just haven't found anything saying it isn't fixed.. or if there's some special fix? I have no problem going back to the apache server but I thought I'd play with the apache2. Just right now I can't view my own webpages cause they are all in .php extentions. I've tried changing it all back to .html extensions.. but then the PHP doesn't work properly. So all I'm looking for is: 1) IS php supposed to work with apache2 (like it says it's supposed to) 2a) IF it is, what might I be doing wrong? 2b) IF NOT, I'd like to know so that I can start the process of removing php, apache2, and all the other stuff that is all linked so I can reinstall apache. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing. msg12446/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Apache (PHP not working)
Thanks for all the help. I finally got my new kernel up and the network card working. This actually fixed the PHP also. (Don't ask me why, I don't know). I never made ANY changes to the PHP or apache stuff yet, it was still in the last state from when I first emailed the list witht he problem. I loaded the new kernel (which was already installed, and working I just had not inet connect with it cause the network card driver was missing and I didn't know how to put a driver module in). And walla, everything works. I have inet on the new kernel now. AND PHP is working like it's supposed to. Again, thanks for the help.

Various Questions
Just a few questions: 1) Whenever I restart my system. My /tmp dir is cleared. Is there a way to stop this from happening so that tmpreaper will deal with it. 2) I'm running apache with php4. It's working just fine. My domain is currently redirected to my webserver. The first problem is: - Domain = www.storms-elite.net When I open mozilla and enter: http://www.storms-elite.net it opens up: http://ursine.dyndns.org/~jade IF I open a web-browser on a different computer and enter: http://www.storms-elite.net it opens to: http://12.241.211.228 This is the correct one. What is on my system that might be causing it to not update. (I think something is cached or stored and won't let the old one go.) The second problem is: -- When I open mozilla and enter: http://12.241.211.228/~jade it occasionally changes the ip to http://127.0.0.1/~jade I know it works fine that way, I just am not used to it doing that. It didn't used to do that. OR it does says contacting: http.com <-- this always fails, and I don't know why it's doing that. --- I've tried looking at everything I could, and haven't found anything that might fix it, so I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has any suggestions. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing. msg13626/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Questions before installing w2k or XP Dual-Boot
I'm planing on installing Windows 2k Pro or XP, on a 15gb HD. But I want to know the proper way to do this before I try it, as I can't really afford to reformat and start over with my entire system. Currently I have the following setup. FilesystemTypeSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 reiserfs 24G 1.5G 22G 7% / proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc devpts devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts /dev/hda1 ext37.6M 4.8M 2.5M 67% /boot /dev/hda5 reiserfs 49G 15G 34G 31% /home /dev/hda6 reiserfs2.4G 33M 2.3G 2% /tmp /dev/hdb1 reiserfs 15G 33M 15G 1% /data usbdevfs usbdevfs 0 0 0 - /proc/bus/usb /dev/hdb1 will be what I'm going to install Windows 2k Pro or XP on. What I need to know is, when I install Windows 2k Pro or XP, what will I need to do to ensure that my Linux is still bootable. Is there something I need to do PRIOR to installing windows? Only reason I am installing windows is that there are some programs that I just can't get running on linux (games mostly, my stress relief), but also this is a learning experience for me. I'm in no rush to install windows. If I could play all my games I like on Linux, I'd never go back to windows.

Actually you saying that is what gave me the hint: here's how I fixed it. # Set the user and group that the server normally runs at. Usernobody <- unchanged Group netaccess <- customized DefaultRoot /home/ netaccess,!users <- limits access to everyone except those added to the group: users You can also use ~ to limit to their own directory. But I couldn't get it to work, but I also didn't want that, limiting to /home/ is fine by me.

Questions about mirror'ing a website
I am just after suggestions on the best and/or most efficient means to mirror my website (exactly) from one location to another (currently on same computer, but eventually multiple computers). /var/www/ LIVE<- Actual site location /home/jade/public_html/ WORKING <- Modifications and verification prior to copying to /var/www I want to "mirror" Working --> Live A few things to keep in mind. 1) LIVE has a different "owner:group" than WORKING. 2) If I move/rename files or diretories, I need this updated. 3) It only has to update once every 24 hours. <- Probably cron to do this. 4) I will eventually have them on seperate computers so I can't just use the following which is what I am currently doing: ON a daily basis, I just manually copy and paste the following, as I don't trust this in a cronjob yet as I need to do it as root right now. a) rm -rf /var/www/* b) cp -vR /home/jade/public_html/* /var/www/ c) chown -cR www-data:www-data /var/www I've searched through "dselect" and found the following, and am just looking for recommendations, or any suggestions for something better. The choices that look like they might work for what I want. 1) mirror - Keeps FTP archives up-to-date 2) fmirror - memory efficient ftp mirror program 3) ftpmirror - Mirroring directory hierarchy with FTP Almost but I can see a few problems here. 1) mirrordir - duplicate a directory by making a minimal set of changes -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing. msg14762/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Yes, a friend was ssh'd to my box when this was happening. He was using Win XP at the time.

inetd error (I believe identd is the cause. How to fix?)

I reccomend I just removed "gidentd" and replaced it with "ident2" doing this didn't solve the problem, it just sort of changed the error a little. It did make me notice something else. I do like ident2 as it will allow me to change ident from my home directories instead of creating a new user just to get a different ident. 1) Dec 2 23:33:47 dragon inetd[20855]: ident2/tcp: unknown service 2) Dec 2 23:37:15 dragon inetd[20861]: auth/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated - 1) I think I corrected it. I entered the new ident2 into the inetd.conf incorrectly. Made that go away by correcting it. 2) I noticed something in "man ident2" -p, --daemon-port Daemon-only: Bind this port, instead of 'auth' aka 113 *** Back to my vague memory *** I remember something during an update with dselect that said something about changing auth/bind or some such. It said it was changing my "/etc/group" *** End vague memory *** Could this be the problem? Could it be trying to use auth, but that update made it so auth is no longer called auth or something? *wish I remembered exactly what the error was. Or if I'm on a totally wrong track?

What to change for eth0 (Direct PC connection)
I want to be able to transfer a LOT of data from my linux box to a friends WinXP box. I have a cross-over cable. I need to know what I have to change on my computer (if anything) so that they can see each other. Even if I just ftp to an IP assigned on his box. What's the easiest way? We are on a network with a cable modem connected to a switch, and then the computers are all connected to the switch. The problem is that each computer is on a different IP (and I was told different subnets), so that when I try to ftp the files to his computer it goes OUT through the modem to find his computer, instead of just going straight to the switch and then to his computer. -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing. msg17063/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
