OK found a command on the net find / -printf "%k\t%p\n" | sort -n that list all my files on my harddrive by size with largest at the bottom. I'm attaching this text file. I snipped off the lower portion of the list and pasted it hear. Please take a look and see if anything looks suspicious. I am only using 30% on my hda6 which is where my /usr and etc are. I'm now 98% full on hda1 and climbing:-( I tried getting rid of the file kcore at the bottom of this list with the command rm kcore It wouldn't let me delete it????

[SLE] network setup
by phthor＠isat.com 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

I still consider myself a newbie with Linux and a complete dummy about networking as I have never dealt with it before. Now that is out of the way, I would like this groups recommendation as to setting up two computer for networking. I have one computer that has Linux installed and one with windows. Each has only the one OS on it. I would also like to be able to use either computer or both at the same time when connected to the internet if this is possible. So I need recommendations for: 1. When networking cards to obtain. 2. Other than the programs installed for networking by 6.3, which other programs would be needed. (Samba, VW, etc) 3. What type of cableing between the two computers is easiest or best. 4. If the phone line is connected to the Linux computer, how do you connect the Windos computer to the telephone line through the Linux machine. 56K modems are installed in both computers. Either may be other questions I should be asking, but cann't think of them right now. I want to get the computers talking to each other first then I'll think about the internet side. I want to do this as cheaply as possible as I am retired on a limited income. I have been thinking about older used networking cards. thanks in advance, Nevada -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I do have a budget fo up to $150 per machine for upgrades. Seeking input from the group on what an ideal configuration, both hardware and software, might be for this use.

I stand corrected. I'm officially the world's worst programmer - REM gives me a headache! I did sort out a similar compilation problem with a package like this, though.

Xsftt is written in C++, so it *needs* a C++ compiler. Using gcc instead of c++ will fail miserably as a) the C++ frontend cc1plus (that the gcc driver will call) is missing and b) because gcc would fail to link against libstdc++, which is required for a C++ program. The right answer is to install the C++ part of egcs and the corresponding libraries.

RE: [SLE] Running Winblows VNC server?

The answer to both questions is - "it depends on the speed of your network", ie what other traffic is on your 100Mb link apart from vnc. Try it, it's free. And probably faster than Terminal Server on the same hardware. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Daniloff [SMTP:alex@daniloff.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 11:47 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Cc: plug(a)northwest.com Subject: [SLE] Running Winblows VNC server?

Applications will run, but generally slower.

[SLE] dhcp client/masq- differences from Red Hat?
by david＠kramer.ne.mediaone.net 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

I have a Red Hat 5.2 (with all security updates) box that is my firewall (ipfwadm), mail server, web server (http and https), ftp server, majordomo server, seti@home, etc. It's hooked up to a cablemodem via eth0 and my intranet via eth1. Not bad for a P133. I would like to convert it to Suse. Most of these things should be a snatch to convert over. I am worried most about (1) getting the dhcp client up and running and talking to MediaOne/RoadRunner, and (2) getting the scripts in place to start the firewalling once the dhcp client is done. Getting sendmail working ASAP is of primary importance, because all my mail will bounce until I get these three things working, but I'm not too worried about sendmail because it configures for basic operation pretty quick. So my questions are: (1) Does the dhcp client on Suse work any different than on Red Hat 5.2 (dhcpcd)? Where are the configuration files for it? Or will Yast do it's configuration for me? (2) I installed all the pieces of my current firewall by hand based on Robert Ziegler's old web page. I've seen posts on this list intimating that there was a way to get this set up automatically in Suse. Is this the case? Does this happen at install time or later? If I have to do this manually, what script is executed when dhcpcd completes so that I can call the firewall script from it? Obviously I will be using ipchains this time, BTW, but the commands seem nearly identical. (3) I assume it comes with apache (there does not seem to be a complete list of packages on their website, is there?). Does the apache that comes with it already have PHP and MySQL support? What about Perl? I really dreaded recompiling with SSL support, but at least if it already has PHP and MySQL, that's two fewer things to worry about. But I guess if I have to recompile I can't take the RPM anyway, right? I have to get the source and make it.
