I used it successfully with RedHat 7.3 running either the distro-provided kernel or my own custom-built 2.4.19 kernel. Assuming that you are using something like Sony's USB Memory Stick Reader/Writer (MSAC-US1), then all I did was plug it in, and then I mounted it, and it worked. The trick is to

And because there are so many different CPU (aka instruction set) architectures, VERY few packages can get the hallowed noarch moniker. To the best of my knowledge, a package can ONLY contain the "noarch" tag if the package contains absolutely NO runtime binaries. A noarch package can contain "bi

Others (including moi) have the same problem. This has been reported in bugzilla. I think there's an update in Rawhide (whatever that is) that supposedly fixes this problem. So, yer not alone! BB. - Original Message - From: "hans privat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sen

I use vsftpd too! It works great, and it is VERY VERY fast. I ftp'd (on a local network) a 34MB file, and it was done SO fast I actually thought the download didn't happen. My only beef with vsftpd is that on some messages it displays, it shows a series of funny characters (like ^H^H^H^H) or som

If you can actually boot the new RH 8.0 cd to the first text-based menu, start up linux with: linux mediacheck (or it might be linux checkmedia) This will validate the entire RH 8.0 CD image. You can insert ANY of the 3 RH 8.0 ISO discs, and it will check the entire thing. If all your discs ch

Eaaa in my previous post. Fixed below... 3. Ok, let's assume you want to build pretty much what RedHat shipped with. In my case that's the i686 uni-processor build. So here goes... cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14custom # edit Makefile to set EXTRAVERSION to what you really want.

I have successfully build RH 8.0's kernel-2.4.18-14. I assume by "custom" kernel, you mean that the Makefile has an "EXTRAVERSION = -14custom", not that you've started to make "custom" modules. If you've started making custom modules, well, YMMV! :) I installed an re-built the kernel just fine.
