on a fresh system, there's a good chance that the associated config
file is actually in /boot, with the name config-<whatever version>.
at least, that's a good place to start.

p.s. the 2.6 kernel comes with a config option to bury the config
file inside the actual kernel itself. IIRC, to get at that file,
you'd use a utility called extract-ikconfig.

He doesn't want to do that. He wants to split an entire album in mp3
format into multiple mp3 files, each file one track of the album.
"split" cannot do that.

Tell me you're not dual-booting a server, are ya? Ick!
:)
About a year ago, probably more, there was a lot of motion towards
making a machine boot in several seconds. But unless you're a laptop
person with power problems, etc, why would you need to?
The other night a friend of my daughter had a friend over. When it
got late, I was following an NIS curiosity when I got a shutdown notice.
I hadn't heard anything from my daughter, but I got out. Turns out, the
friend figured she was going to bed, so she did a shutdown from GDM and
that turned off the power.
I was shocked; she didn't know how to login, but she knew how to
shutdown. The funny part was that she didn't live in a world where you
just let'em run...they get turned off every time they get up, in their
world.
Guess I've been in Linux a really long time, now.

to the previous post re: building a kernel, the most important
information to remember is to move the kernel source out from under
that silly /usr/src/linux directory and (if you have the room) to
somewhere under your home directory.
all the kernel config and building can be done as a regular user,
and only needs root (or sudo) privilege to finally install it. and as
a bonus (this week only!), if you remove from /usr stuff that you
normally want to hack on, you should be able to mount the /usr
filesystem read-only for normal system operation. (of course, you'd
temporarily mount it RW for installing new software, but for the most
part, normal operation should not need write access to /usr.) think
of it as a safety net.

My parents and sisters are like that - they bemoan the lack of things
for Linux yet are scared senseless to use their XP boxes on broadband -
my dad even disconnects from the router if he leaves his machine for a

I believe the configuration file's in /usr/src/linux-version/configs/ are the ones
that are used to compile the kernels in the first place, so if one was
to recompile the kernel using one of those files they should have
exactly the same kernel as the one that they get when installing the
kernel RPM.

This option has to be enabled and currently is not, it is disabled by
default due to the added size imposed when using it.
Kernel .config support (IKCONFIG)
This option enables the complete Linux kernel ".config" file
contents, information on compiler used to build the kernel,
kernel running when this kernel was built and kernel version
from Makefile to be saved in the kernel. It provides documentation
of which kernel options are used in a running kernel or in an
on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel
image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as
input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel.
It can also be extracted from a running kernel by reading
/proc/config.gz and /proc/config_built_with, if enabled (below).
/proc/config.gz will list the configuration that was used
to build the kernel and /proc/config_built_with will list
information on the compiler and host machine that was used to
build the kernel.
And
Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz (IKCONFIG_PROC)
This option enables access to kernel configuration file and build
information through /proc/config.gz.
These options are under "General setup" when doing an make xconfig
Hope this helps

You not only top posted, you also didn't say anything
about how the OP can get his cursor loaded. And to add
insult to injury, you posted in html.
To the OP: KDE uses the script, startkde, to launch KDE.
In this script the cursor is changed. You will need to
change the startkde script to load your cursor.

Some people will switch off and disconnect every thing from the mains
due to fear's of lightening strikes, or household files. I can't really
criticise them for that (I'm just too lazy).
Others do it for power consumptions issues, I can't really criticise
them for that either.

That's insane. The main power consumption on any computer is the monitor
and the drives. Switch off the monitor and the amount consumed is as
near as dammit blow all!
I worked it out once. To keep the 5 machines in my house running it
would take me about an hour of watching the TV to use the same amount of
power and how many folks leave the TV on and not be in the room with it?

A monitor uses approximately 100-150W of power. An idle computer with a
couple of drives running, uses 40-60W. A 28" TV uses 100-150W or so, so I
doubt your values.
My values come from a power meter I have that I can plug between the
outlet and any device, it gives current load and also meters the number of
kW since it last was reset.

You know, you don't *have* to run kudzu as a service in the first place,
especially if your hardware is fairly "static" (you don't plug or unplug
things much).
Just run kudzu as root the few times when you do add anything.
Kudzu tends to take a fair bit of time in startup, and disabling it is a
very easy way to reclaim that time.

I suspect you have a low-power computer by today's standards. They may
not use the 250 W or 400 W indicated by the power supply (a number that
is both "theoretical" in that it can only be obtained under certain
circumstances, and fictional in that they're usually built to price, not
build quality, and the manufacturers know they're unlikely to be found
out), but thopse figures aren't always that far out.
A modern Pentium 4 CPU, on its own, will often take more than your 60 W,
and the PSUs are rarely that efficient. And of course, there are drives,
up to four or five fans, and the rest of the PC to consider.
All this only serves to illustrate your real point, of course: modern
PCs are not normally low-power devices.

Split is indeed installed (though I don't think it addresses what the
original poster wanted, because split uses fixed split sizes):
[charshaw at mufasa charshaw]$ rpm -q split
package split is not installed

Any suggestions on this would would be greatly appreciated - I have had
my hands full fixing other problems (returning from vacation is the
punishment for taking one ...) and have tried a few things with no
luck, but at this point I don't have a clue on this one.
I tried going back to the previous rpms (built here) but the results
were the same. Since mplayer and totem can still play movies, this
isn't the end of the world; but it is a little frustrating.
Thanks,

It is, of course, possible to relay based on SMTP AUTH via an MTA
running as an MSA (message *submission* agent) on port 587, as detailed
in RFC 2476.
This has the advantage that your relaying is seperated from your normal
send and receive MTA. It means you can firewall the MSA how you like (so
you can have your IP database implemented through iptables), and run
much more restrictive policies.
You can still use localhost as your smarthost, so outgoing authenticated
e-mails go through the same MTA.
James.
