New posting rules for Fedora List, From Linus.
by Linus Torvaldz
I've heard about the recent problems on this list and I've decided to
use my status as the founder of Linux to step in and settle matter of
how to post to the list and put the matter to rest.
Rule #1 Posting content format
All posts to the list from this point forward must be set to have a
fixed display width of 4,317 inches (or the metric equivalent, 6
millimeters).
The background color must be set to black and the font color must be
set to 0XFFFFFF.
After composing your message to the above standards, preferable using
either version three of Microsoft Word, (WINE, VMware may help here)
or any version of Star-Writer, take a screen shot of your message and
convert the resulting graphic to gif format and then to "bmp" format.
Rule #2 Character set selection for all postings:
All email shall be posted in utf-8 for Sanskrit (utfskt)
see:
http://www.indologie.uni-halle.de/software/utf.htm
"Typesetting Sanskrit Texts with OmegaTeX"
Rule #3 Quoting rules
All quoted text must be formatted in the Classic Sideways Diagonal All
Caps format. Aka "CSDACF".
If you cannot persuade your system to produce CSDACF then you must use
the "Colonial Reversed Aromatics Pulsed Standard" - aka "CRAPS".
The CRAPS standard requires that all inform nation be completely
reversed both in format and synchronicity.
For example the above sentence would be presented as :
.yticinorhcnys dna tamrof ni htob desrever yletelpmoc eb noitan mrofni
lla taht seriuqer dradnats SPARC ehT
To conform to the synchonicity requirement use the table below to
determine how to respond to all postings to the list from here after:
Topics posted on: | may be responded to on:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
3/31/05 4/1/05
3/30/05 4/2/05
3/29/05 4/3/05
. .
. .
etc etc
Please enjoy the convenience and ease of these new posting rules.
Please send your complaints and suggestions to root(a)Bell.labs.com
Sincerely,
Linuz

cannot reinstall grub after windows xp messes up partitions
by Evan White
I'm running a Windows XP / FC3 dual-boot system on a
Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop and it was running fine.
Here's the partitions from fdisk:
device start end Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 4462 35840983 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 4463 8287 30724312 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda3 8288 8300 104422 93 Amoeba
/dev/sda4 8301 12161 31013482 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda5 4463 8287 30724281 b W95 FAT32
Inside the LVM, there is a 2 GB Swap and the rest is
/.
I noticed that the Linux parition showed up in Windows
as F: and was concerned that Windows would somehow
corrupt the partition if it was mounted, so I looked
for ways to hide that partition from Windows. I ended
up changing my grub.conf file to include this line in
the Windows section: hide (hd0,2)
In hindsight, perhaps it should have been (hd0,3).
Anyways, upon reboot into Windows, I could tell that
Windows did something before I logging me in. It went
to that light blue screen that it uses for scandisk
for about 2 seconds, then it logged me in. The F:
drive was still visible, and when I rebooted, I got
the following error:
GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 17
Well I've seen this before, so I booted to my FC3 disk
and typed "linux rescue" then "chroot /mnt/sysimage".
I checked my grub.conf, which reads:
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.770_FC3)
Then I ran "grub-install /dev/sda" and got this:
The file /boot/grub/stage1 was not read correctly.
I didn't know what that was all about, but after
looking around, I found people suggesting the
following:
#>grub
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
To which I received:
Error 15: File not found
I am, however, about to browse to /boot/grub/ and I
can see the stage1 file. But for some reason grub
can't find it. Someone suggested using grub.img, but
I don't have a floppy drive. I do, however, have
network/internet access still enable thru FC3 rescue
mode.
Questions:
Firstly, is the hide command the best way to keep
Windows away from the Linux partition? What is the
best way?
Secondly, how do I reinstall grub successfully?

Question about how evolution handles email off line
by Bob Taylor
Hi guys & ladies (if any)!
I'm new to Fedora and running Fedora 2 on an Alpha. I have a dialup
account. How can I get evolution to send my email to the senmail running
on my computer so I can automatically send it when I "go online"?
TIA!

df -h not showing disk space
by BC
Ok this seems weird to me. I have had FC3 installed and running now for
3 months with no problems or even a reboot :-) But I just noticed my /
partion is getting full. Only trouble is is that it only shows it is a
39GB partition but really it is 74GB. Anyone see this before ? It is a
problem with df only showing 39GB it Is a SATA drive so the one I need
help with is /dev/sda.

Grub sucks with Error 13!!!
by Didier Casse
Hi everybody!
I'm gonna bug again. I'm so irritated with
Fedora at the moment. I'm installing it on a friend's laptop who's new
to linux and everything start to suck more than M$ Windows.
Now grub can't boot my friend's windows xp and complains:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
I roughly know what it is but I want to know how to solve this. Can I
have a helping hand? I spent some time dealing with it but it still
stays the same. The linux part loads perfectly.

Cheers,
Didier.

Figuring out Block Sizes
by R L
For g4u, there is a way to fill unused data blocks with zero-bytes in
order to make the backup smaller. However, you got to give a bs =
amount (block size). This may be a simple answer, but if say I have
25 GBs of unused data to write zero-blocks to, how do I figure out
what block size to use? What's the coversion?
