I've used RHEL support once and they sucked. I found the answer faster by searching on google afterwards when I didn't find it the first round. That was a long time ago, I tend to find the answers faster on my own.

I'm missing something here - if it's a server and it's headless, what's it serving to unless it's connected to something?

a good title may be: "Is it possible to have Wireless AD-HOC server control?" Either way, I would assume it would be... You may need to run a dhcp server from the box. Then you could place restrictions as to what mac addresses can connect to it.

Published (2008-11-19 09:01:00)
Well, the better thing to do is to locate the place where these specific directories are added to the path and remove them from the source. If you are sure they are for one user only, you have to look in all the configuration files under the user's home directory. For example, suppose you want to remove /path/to/some/dir from PATH: Code: find /home/user -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep "/path/to/some/dir" otherwise do the...

greetings and such. I've got a particularity odd issue going on here... in any form of text edit including gvim, vim, OO Writer, and even webpage forms, my left and down arrow keys do not repeatedly go back spaces. In other words, if i hold down the "left" arrow key, the cursor only moves back once, instead of moving back continuously until i let go. Same for the "down" arrow key. ...

I wonder why they (those who designed initramfs) choosed cpio for archiving the initramfs, I mean what advantages it has over tar. Also I would like to know why they did not choose pax, which is supposed to be better than tar and cpio. I'm not saying that choosing cpio is bad, I am just curious why they coosed it. thanks

So I used a live cd and ddrescue and just copied the entire disk image, partitions and all over to the new drive. Then I used gparted to expand the partitions. So far so good. Then, I thought I would get clever... and things went poorly. You see, the original drive had an additional partition for my /...
