I'm trying to edit my LILO config so that I can run debian (which is on
/dev/hde5).
Where is the initrd for debian located?
I currently have something like this for my debian entry:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4
label="Debian Linux"
root=/dev/hde5
initrd=/boot/
I know there is some way to allow a program to run with permissions of
it's owner (i.e. root) but I forget how to do this. What am I
forgetting?
Also, if I create a crontab file, will all programs run as nobody or
with the permissions of the owner? And is it possible to see whether or
not a cron
Here's a thought: why don't you create a group shutdown_privileges and
allow anyone with access to the group to run a shell script like:
#! /usr/bin/bash
#wait 10 minutes before rebooting
shutdown -r -t time 10
That would be more secure then allowing everyone access to shutdown,
while at the sam

FWIW, Did you make clean before compiling the kernel? If you didn't
those errors could be a result of previously compiled code. OTOH if
you're an advanced enough user to want to compile your own kernel you
probably knew that.

FWIW I've installed sub 150MB debian installs. Of course there's a lot
of stuff missing.
Also, to elaborate, all programs (packages) installed are potential
security holes. With
