Hi folks
I've got Compaq ML370 G3 here running RedHat 8.0. I need to put a tape
backup unit into it and have narrowed it down to two options
1) HP storage works SDLT 220 Tape Drive
2) HP storage works Ultrium 230 Tape Drive
I want something that is easy to run using shell scripting for backups
and of course is easy to restore. Both are supported by RH8.0 however I
have never spec'd a unit for linux before.
Has anyone used either Ultrium or SDLT with Linux and can let me know
how they got on?
Cheers
Jodi

"Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've
forgotten this before."
Does anyone know how to remove that stupid bloody dragon in bib that decorates
KDE's logout window? "Konqi" I think it's is called.
* I've used 'find' to scan my file system for PNG or JPEG files with "Konqi"
in their names but it doesn't seem that simple -- all I found was an ominous
image of a KDE cogwheel with a bomb in it.
* I found an image that looked just like the one I wanted to removed:
"/usr/share/apps/kdeui/pics/aboutkde.png". I replaced that with a transparent
PNG, but that didn't help either.
(BTW: No. "Use Gnome" wasn't the answer I was after.)

There are various "kde-sdscreen" RPM's floating around to change the shutdown
window image. All they do is replace "shutdownkonq.png". The RPM I downloaded
would have put it here:
/usr/X11R6/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/shutdownkonq.png
but on Mandrake I found the little bastard here:
/usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/shutdownkonq.png
And I overwrote him with a 1x1 pixel transparent PNG. It worked!
P.S. while googling I found this in the mailing list archive of another LUG:
"My deskpot completely freezed, couldn't even do Ctrl+Alt+Del.
so I turn the power off."
"Deskpot". I'm sure there's a novel user interface idea in there somewhere.

Hi
Well it doesn't work with
root=LABEL=/ either .. though the custom kernel
(compiled from a rh rpm source file does ..
indicating to me some problem in the way I compiled the linux2.6.0test4 code ...
I compiled in lvm support .. though did not include raid support ..
I presume one can take the latest kernel disto from kernel.org and put it in usr/src and compile and install it (it upgrades grub automatically to include the
new kernel as a boot option) and this is transparent to
the red hat distro. or are there rh specific switches?
re /dev/hda5 possibility this is not addressed in
the custom installation which does run .. and the boot and kernel directories shopuld be the same for the new kernel.
Thanks
Stephen

Hi all,
I have a freebie if any one wants it: a Sun "X" 3/60. It comes with a large
colour monitor, keyboard & old-school optical mouse (+ two of those special
optical mouse pads).
I also have a Sun GDM-1662B monitor that I used to use on my SPARCstations
until I discovered the wonderful Sun Console Converter which lets you use a
VGA screen and PS/2 keyboard and mouse instead! I might have a spare
SPARCstation keyboard and mouse too if anyone needs them.
Off-topic but I also have an RCA-brand NTSC television to give away. It runs
on 110V and has F-connector RF input only (no A/V inputs sorry).
I repeat, this is all FREE as I am moving to the South Island and must part
with my beloved junk.
I can offer free delivery any where in Hamilton (or between Hamilton and Waihi).
Please reply off-list only. You can contact me via email or sms/phone on 021
399 844.
Cheers,
Matt
Further to my recent post enclosed is my grub.conf
and a list of the partitions on my disk ...
the custom kernel ..2nd option loads fine
but the new 2.6 kernel crashes when it tries to
access root / .. despite the entry being pretty well identical to that of the custom kernel.
Any comments appreciated
Stephen
