It sounds like you took a boot.img file and a rh 7.2 iso file and burned
those files onto a CD so that if you looked at the files on the CD you
would see
boot.img
rh7.2.iso
This is the wrong way to use an iso file. The iso file is the actual
image you want to use to burn the CD with. If you use XCDRoast to burn
the CD you would just go to the write cd button, tell it you want to use
the iso file and then burn the cd. You wouldn't use the boot.img file
at all.
Hope this helps.

Hmmm, you could try using the following sequence of commands:
ipx_interface delall
ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2
where eth0 is the name of the ethernet device and 802.2 is the frame
type you're using.

You can do a cat of /proc/bus/usb/devices and see what it reports. It
should list all of your USB devices and hubs.

I'm using openssh V2.9p2 on RedHat 6.2. I had to get it from
openssh.org. Unfortunately, I just checked their available downloads
and 2.9p2 is no longer available (or at least I couldn't find it). They
have 3.0.2p1 available, but it's only compiled for RedHat 7.2. You
could try downloading the src rpm and doing an rpm --rebuild on it on
your 6.2 system and see if it configures and compiles.
Good luck.

NFS and NDMP are the fastest ways to backup just be sure to set the read and
write size on your nfs mounts to 8192 as the default 1024 is just a bottle
neck for performance. If you plan on doing backups to tape I recommend you
use something that maintains a database of your data/files restores get real
ugly without it. Also tape libraries are really important with the size of
hard drives now.

Subject: RE: rcp, nfs or ftp?
Essentially, I'm trying to figure out which way would be best as a
standard... I do have some older production machines that I'm not sure will
run a current version of ssh... (Not sure on that one, I'll have to check)
Often I'll have to bring up nodes that are some what identical to other
nodes and one of the processes is to backup certain files using an automated
process to push the files to a backup server. (This is where my question
comes into play) I want something that can be easy to bring up a node
without too much human error and doesn't bring down the server...
One thing I did find out and maybe someone can give me some insight to this
one. Once when trying rcp and having lots of nodes go to one server to
push their files, after a few minutes inetd reported that too many
connections where encountered and it shutdown for about 5 minutes due to a
denial of service attack. This is an issue that I want to make sure I don't
run into. I think that I might have ran into this one with ftp also...
Does scp have this limitation since it's not under inetd?
With nfs I constantly see errors in the messages file about nfs server not
responding and then immediately it says it found the nfs server. To me this
sounds like broadcast traffic...
Right now, we have many scripts that utilize all four methods if you include
scp. I'm just trying to get things more in sync and try to use one method
that would be best.
Thanks for all the input!

There are more important considerations than speed. If you're
transferring files between two machines with an internet connection,
they all stink. Paint us a picture of your needs, topology, and
expectations?

vi /etc/sysctrl.conf
Replace net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
With net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Or add net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 if it's not already there.
Echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Above command will add it one time, but upon reboot you will lose it.
Hope that helps,

Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
Brian - I think you are correct. I suspect its a bad burn. I am using nero burner. I burned the CD using boot cd, also tried compiling new CD option. What files are needed to install RH 7.2?
On the CD's now:
CD1: .....iso & boot.img
CD2: .....iso
Do I need to expand the iso files or can RH install using them? I checked the RH "how to install" link and it doesn't mention details about dealing w/ ISO files. I never used them before. The only CDs that work are 7.1 CDs that I purchased. These CDs list all the files needed for the install.
PS. Do I need to use WinImage or WinISO, etc.?

Hello Gene,
Thursday, February 21, 2002, 11:01:59 AM, you textually orated:
GS> Interesting note, official CD works (purchased), not an ISO image file.
GS> The downloaded ISO file burned to CDROM does not work. It boots but can
GS> not find a Red Hat CDROM. Does the burnt CDROM require the boot.img or

Are you saying that when you look at this CD on an already running system
that you see only one file on it? (foo.x.x.iso)
If that is the case, then you mistook how to create a CD from an ISO.
Have fun,

Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
I'd think that it would be more appropriate to call the next release 7.3,
instead of 8.0, because there is no major change in the kernel or other
components. Red Hat should save the 8.0 release for like the 2.6 kernel
or something; there's nothing wrong with versions 7.3, 7.4, or even 7.9,
until then.
Linux vendors are getting a little crazy with their version schemes; what,
are they all trying to see who can get to the famed "X" (10) release
first?
