I've been trying to get to Dag's site for a while now and it seems to
have dropped off the face of the earth. Does anyone else know where to
get RHEL3 updates? Or what happened to his site?
Thanks.
Paul

Make sure you are either calling the full path to the file (i.e. /bin/grep) ... or you have your PATH variable set in the script (i.e. PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin)Wondering if anybody else has experienced this. I can run this binary from the command line. If I make the exact same call from within a shell script, it gives a cannot execute binary file

"Bootable" is an attribute of the ISO file itself, and it does not depend on what program you use to burn the ISO image. The choice of burning program is irrelevant. The first Whitebox CD is definitely bootable (hundreds of people on this list can attest to that). As long as you follow the proper instructions for burning an ISO image, the resulting CD will be bootable no matter what program you used to burn the image. A good set of instructions for burning an ISO image with NERO can be found at http://members.home.nl/lsnoek/iso.htm#Nero%20Burning%20ROM Also, http://www.google.com/search?q=nero+bootable+CDs indicates that NERO is capable of burning bootable CDs, although this is also not relevant to Whitebox since it would only apply if you are creating your own bootable ISO images, which is not the case here. -David On Sun, 2004-06-06 at 10:41, Bob Mariotti wrote: > I am anxious to try this WBES as an alternative to my RH8.0.

Hi Folks, I recently installed WBEL after hearing about it on the RHCT course I recently did. My RHCT tutor said that redhat-config-network uses profiles, so if I then go and edit the network files by hand I would have to then also edit the network files for the profile that redhat-config-created. I can see on my machine that their is a profiles directory so I have no reason to disbelieve what my tutor told me, however if I was to use redhat-config-network do I really have to then edit the profile files if I manually edit the network files ? Just to clarify, I won't be using redhat-config-network anyway, but I'd like this issue clearing up before I go for the RHCE. The RHCE study book I have doesn't mention the profiles stuff - not yet anyway. Many thanks Nick.
NO ... you do not need to edit the profiles as well if you edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files by hand. I edited the ifcfg-eth0 file there and it changed all the files (in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles ... it seems the files are hard links to the original.

Hi Folks, I recently installed WBEL after hearing about it on the RHCT course I recently did. My RHCT tutor said that redhat-config-network uses profiles, so if I then go and edit the network files by hand I would have to then also edit the network files for the profile that redhat-config-created. I can see on my machine that their is a profiles directory so I have no reason to disbelieve what my tutor told me, however if I was to use redhat-config-network do I really have to then edit the profile files if I manually edit the network files ? Just to clarify, I won't be using redhat-config-network anyway, but I'd like this issue clearing up before I go for the RHCE. The RHCE study book I have doesn't mention the profiles stuff - not yet anyway. Many thanks Nick.
NO ... you do not need to edit the profiles as well if you edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files by hand. I edited the ifcfg-eth0 file there and it changed all the files (in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles ... it seems the files are hard links to the original. It might be a good idea to _check_ the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/netowrking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles though).

Mailing lists don't thread properly ... and there is no one moving posts to other threads where they might be more appropriate....etc. etc.
Some people like mailing lists more ... others like forums. As already stated, it is the internet ... try it and let's see what happens.
But I think it is silly to argue about it ... if enough people participate it will be good, if not ... it won't work.

So they released a closed-source driver which had to be reverse-engineered and cloned clean-room. As the unhappy owner of an nforce motherboard, I have also been blessed with a nforce ethernet card (which I got working with the forcedeth driver) and an expensive sound card which does not work because they won't tell any linux users (their *customers* for crying out loud) how it works. I am proud to say that I will never buy or recommend a part made by that company ever again. #endif If forcedeth is in the kernel-unsupported package, you can probably use that, otherwise you will need to compile your own kernel with the module (it's pretty painless).

Subject: [blacklist] Re: [WBEL-users] Network detect
In-Reply-To:
I am using the smp kernel on 3 dual processor (p4 xeons with hyperthreading) servers and I am not having any problems. All are using 1gb or 2gb RAM and use the SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m.Hi,
I'm running white box on a couple of machines as test beds - Before this the
machines were running 7.3 without issues. Since changing to whitebox update
1 the performance has been terrible - High machine loads, high I/O waits etc
and generally dog slow.
Has anyone else noticed this or am i unlucky. Machine specs are older twin
p3 cpu's and RAM at either 2 gig or 4 gig depending on machine. These
performance drops are on adaptec and megaraid RAID controllers.
There is a new driver on update2 for the megaraid controller, see this thread.
http://www.redhatconfig.com/msg/73218.html
Seems that there are definitely issues with at least the megaraid controller though. The recommendation I see is to upgrade the firmware for the controller and use the megaraid2 driver .... like in this thread:
http://www.redhatconfig.com/msg/67114.html
So, I would make sure you have the latest firmware and use megaraid2 as the module, then rebuild the initrd like this:

YES, just using yum will get you updated to all the latest packages.
You might still want to download the respin CD for new installs of
WhiteBox though. (there are more / better drivers and less updates
required after the install is complete on the new machine)

YES.Hello Xantius,
What is "Respin"? Is that just the latest update?
RedHat releases a quarterly update ... and they make new ISOs available with the updates migrated in. So that is what WBEL is calling a respin ... it is all the updates to 5/31/2004 already on the CD. This is really good because on new installs because there are many fewer updates after the install on the first update ... and newer hardware drivers are provided.
If you already have installed WBEL, you can get updated by just using yum ... and you can download the Respin CDs for new installs.
Also, is x86_64 the right one for pentium range processors or is that intended for AMD or?
x86_64 is an AMD64 distro.

I thought you could pass reiser or resierfs on the install command
line so you can install directly onto a reiserfs.
I haven't done it (I've changed over to resierfs after the fact
before, but never directly installed).

That does work with Fedora Core. I just tried it with the RHEL AS 3 and
WBEL original CD-1, and WBEL Respin1 CD-1/i386 (the command is linux

I'm assuming he's got problems burning CD's. You can also use
bootdisk.img to boot off of a floppy. You can do a hard drive
install with that. I believe you have to use "expert" on the
command line to get that as an option (I know that you have to for
NFS and HTTP installs, maybe harddrive is a non-expert option).
If you have two machines, you can do either an NFS or HTTP install
via a floppy (I think), or via PXE booting (I've done that
successfully, supposedly you can do it via a Windows NT/2K/XP
machine if you know what you are doing).
If your machine dhcp's it's network access you could probably do a
network install straight off the a public site if you felt crazy
enough. It's both a security risk, and will take a long while
unless you have lots of bandwidth.

Hello List,
I would like some advice in the area of backups on samba file servers. I
have set up a box with 2 120GB drives in software raid 1 and would like to
have a way to perform backups with as little user intervention as possible.
Some recommendation's have been DVD, Tape & Hard Drive. I like the hard
drive idea because I could stick in a spare 120GB drive and mount it before
backup time. Does this seem safe for a small office? Cost is a concern.
Thanks in advance.

Your answer: "Depends," but if you rotate several hard drives it can
work great for a few hundred gigs of data.
I think one of the biggest things is that it's convenient enough that
the backups get done.
We use rsync over ssh to backup a half-dozen machines to a single large
hard drive. We wrote a little Perl program that translates command-line
parameters into options, mounts the backup drive, and does preliminary
checks... so it's pretty flexible and a no-brainer.
We use hard drives mounted in a removable chasis, but being non-hotswap
ATAs we have to power down the machine doing backups to change drives.
For us this is not a problem.
The nice thing has been random access to huge amounts of data for those
rare but traumatic "oops" moments. :-)
An example of the things that the backup program needs to track can be
seen in test mode:
[root@aspra root]# ./backup.remote --dev=/dev/hdd1 --mountpoint=/u1
--detail=2 --test sherizod
Attempting to back up sherizod.
Backup device is /dev/hdd1
Backup root directory is /u1
Compression is OFF
Detail level is extensive
Mounting is ON
sherizod is REMOTE
Good. /dev/hdd1 appears to already be mounted on /u1.
Starting backup.
rsync -essh -aSv --stats --delete --progress --exclude=/dev
--exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt
--exclude=/tmp sherizod:/ /u1/rsync/sherizod

I also miss reiserfs support under whitebox.
However, I value the work redhat has put in to Enterprise, and if they
say reiserfs is a nogo so be it ..
I needed to pull data from a failed reiserfs drive that I had been
using under redhat 8.0. As has been previously mentioned here, failing
reiserfs partitions are a dog - sometimes they can become unrecoverable.
I pulled reiserfs.o from the unsupported kernel (using rpm2cpio, and
cpio --extract) and insmod'ed it - it slipped right in.
Mounted the reiserfs partition read-only, pulled the data off fine.
Cheers, Andy!

For disaster recovery stuff like this, I tend to whip out the Knoppix
CD. It's a single-CD distro that boots from CD right into a full Linux
system. When it comes up it automatically mounts any drives it can find.
It doesn't touch the hard drives, so it's also ideal for testing a
machine without installing Linux.

Since the kernel-unsupported package is just modules it would have been easier to just install the rpm.

Subject: [WBEL-users] easy soho server-configuration
Message-ID: <200406201706.01400.rainer@hamann-kiel.de>
I've developed an application for an easy server configuration for RedHat 8.2.
The application copies preconfigured configuration files to the server and
replaces values like $HOSTNAME$, $IP$ and so on by the actual values of the
server. Configured services are dhcp, nis, bind, nfs, samba and kickstart
files.
The program is written in lazarus/free pascal.
I've just found Whitebox linux on distrowatch.com and downloaded, installed it
and decided to use it for our networks in my school. We have about 80
workstations and 2 servers and have to make a new installation, because the
harddisk of our main server has become to small.
I'll test the next days, if my tool is running on Whitebox linux, and I would
like to make it part of Whitebox linux, if you are interested in it.
