Linux Loader (or Lilo)



I have found a new definition.

http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/workshops/linux_install/lilo.html





LILO - The Linux Loader

>From the LILO README:



LILO is a versatile boot loader for Linux. It does not depend on a

specific file system, can boot Linux kernel images from floppy disks

and hard disks, and can even boot other operating systems. One of up

to sixteen differernt images can be selected at boot time. Various

parameters, such as the root device, can be set indepenantly for each

kernel. LILO can even be used as the master boot record.

about:mozilla

If you have a Mozilla (not using? Kindly comeout of stoneage, I welcome you)then try about:mozilla in your address bar.



And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them.

xircom card module load problem with FC2

I had installed FC2 on the Dell Latitude CPx which I have received to use for few days.

When not connected to network,the boot asked me about the xircom card module and I replied to remove it.

Later I did not know how to load the module back. There is this command modprobe,but I dont know how to use it. Whom should I ask?? :( The Laptop lied inside the desk for a couple of days coz I would not be able to go online with out activating the card.

Trials for restarting the network services gave:

system-config network: xirc2ps_cs device eth0 does not seem to be

present, delaying initialization.

Then decided to just Google it and came across this Bug 123734. Wondered! The same problem has been faced by some other guy as well!

Checked with the details and lead me an already opened bug, But the last section said.



ok, after further testing it appears that by removing the ether nete

configuration in Network configuration and rebooting the laptop. then

creating a new network interface definition repairs this.



note: rebooting without removing the existing device profile does

not repair this, the current device profile must be deleted before

rebooting, then add a new profile.



Did this and Yo! Problem solved. :)



but need to analyze more has this is just a simple and a not so efficient way

Finishing Work Quickly

When I finish my work quickly, I am usually finding that I get more
interest and I devote my self more to the work.
I should take a hint here.

Josepshson Junction
A type of {electronic} {circuit} capable of
switching at very high speeds when operated at temperatures
approaching {absolute zero}.Its low power dissipation factor makes it
useful in {high density computer circuits}.

Hi Denis,
Thanks again for providing me the oppurtunity to edit
FOLDOC. I have edited the Josephson Junction entry submitted to me on
May 28,2004.If you have any comments on it,kindly let me know.

I am ready to take up the next entry and contribute to FOLDOC.

Warm Regards,
Senthil

Submitted my next FOLDOC entry Today to Denis Howe.



Thanks again to FOLDOC.

Incorrect Tip

In the misc section:

Sending binary data files in ASCII-armored format without encryption
or signature (using pgp command line package.)

pgp -a < binary_filename>


This command instructs PGP to produce an ASCII-armored file called
filename.asc . The recipient uses the -p option to unwrap the message
and restore the sender s original filename.pgp -p filename.asc You can
then store the files in a email message or database table in text
format.

http://unixtips.org/index.php3?catList=8

This is Incorrect.

This does not work with GPG version 1.2.1
For gpg command to act, it requires an option as well as a command.
-a is an option and no command is being given.

Kindly remove this tip.

Regards,
Senthil

Imported Phil Zimmermanns PGP Public Keys

As am Preparing for Blug meet,(I am really nervous,butI am keeping the basic rules in my mind). Just to check the concepts, I downloaded Phip Zimmermann's PGP Keys and imported to my Keyring and verified the Fingerprint ( Just for the sake of it). :)

Read the lg #103

There were many things useful.

The general stuffs led me to read more HOWTos.

just about gnuplot

a fine intro on firewalls and a bit details in iptables and ipchains.

Then there was in Hyperthreading concepts of Intel P4 w.r.t Kernel 2.6.x and concurrency concepts.( Just read and need to come back again to logically understand completely)

some news and fun!
