On my Debian system I have almost 3GB of stuff installed and my root is only 161 MB ... I've split off /usr and /var as you have but I still have /boot as part of /. Check what's hogging your space ... I just checked a rh7.3 system that I have access to and it's only using 216 MB for / despite tonnes of software being installed (3.8 GB /usr). One culprit might be extra kernels that are installed. /lib/modules can get pretty huge with a few 2.4 kernels installed. Recent Debian kernels have a /lib/modules/2.4.x/ directory of around 25 MB each. Another problem might be /tmp or /root If there really is a legitimage reason for all that space being used then I'd just pop in another disk and copy the root partition over to it. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Help! My system seems to have run out of space on /dev/hda6 and it causing lots and lots of problems. Everything on the server is set up as RAID5 (Values shown below are 1/3 of system space). How can I shrink /dev/md0 and increase the size of hda6, or some other suggestions to get this working? Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Konqueror and Yahoo Groups

I tried all those things. It is like the Yahoo Groups webserver refuses to send out the HTML page to Konqueror in some circumstances. Wierd.

Make sure that Konqueror is configured to allow cookies, java and javascript ... yahoo might be using one of those. If that is not the problem try changing your browser identification to pretend that Konqueror is IE or Netscape, I have to do that with PC banking before they'll let me bank. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Konqueror and Yahoo Groups
by fcsoft-rxKNY4w4koG3ikBYyZqyVg＠public.gmane.org 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

I've recently begun to use Konqueror more for my day to day web browsing. For the most part it does a great job with websites. There are some exceptions such as http://www.yahoogroups.com. I seem to be able to sign in OK from the main page, but when I try to reach any of my groups I am rewarded with a blank screen. I've experimented with the View mode (ie. changing it to KMozilla) and I can sometimes get my group page to render but the links reward me with blank pages. When I ask to view the source of those blank pages I get a blank editor window. Mozilla seems to work fine as far as I can tell. I'm curious as to what is going on here. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

SCO has valid case

Is it at this point that M$ buys the ...what? ...copyrights? > ...SCO? outright for nothing in a short stock trade? Remember this? > > NOW it's getting interesting! This might be very very important. SCO is pretty much a starving, almost-dead, shrivelled, emaciated near-corpse and for all that, is making quite a racket. They haven't been able to ship a compelling product in years. Any time I've ever had to support SCO Unix I've hated it. ALL of the other UNIXes are much more amenable to easy administration, and a lot more of the usual tools you'd expect are there. Anyway, what happens if SCO folds up and goes out of business? How bad would it be if Microsoft bought the leftovers of SCO and decided to continue the fight, just for fun? Could Microsoft afford to litigate Linux into oblivion? At least in the US anyway? Finally, would it be possible to get concerned Linux users together to buy SCO? Or at least to buy the scraps if they folded up? Maybe then we could officially bequeath UNIX to the public domain... If each angry concerned Linux user out there put $100 into this cause, could we do it? Dave... -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

(Yes, I know that > if you extend my logic, I'd be talking to the printer in hex.) There is certainly no httpd needed for cupsys. It has it's own web server on port 631 that it uses for both administration and IPP printing acces (usable among others by any unix system with IPP or cupsys, Windows 2000, XP, 98 with add on client, Mac OS X 10.2+, etc). It is even the default on Mac OS X 10.2. It is in no way extra indirection over lpd. It is an independant printer system. > Is cupsys an interface to /etc/printcap? No it is a new much better replacement for the old unix printing garbage. :) It doesn't use printcap at all. It has command line utils that behave like lp or lpr (your choice of sysV or BSD style) that have support for extended options like resolution, duplex, n-up, etc. > The cable works all right. > > -- > The Toronto Linux Users Group.
