How do I setup the secondary vga out in the fedora 3. ;)

I have a dual monitor card PNY g4 5200.

Hey ... i need to uninstall linux from my laptop not bothered if i have to format it all of my work is backed up im using FEDORA CORE 3 anyone got any ideas?

 

need to get it off so i can put windows on for a couple of weeks got to get a few things done i will then bang it on dual boot...

 

is it also possible for me to create a dual boot from linux?

hi!

 

More frequently (for my work), i use XP because most Macromedia & Adobe developers don't make their products targeted towards linux-based communities (to my knowledge).

 

In a nutshell, my XP is temporarily "dead".

 

And (more then ever right now) Knoppix is the bestest thing in the whole wide world. B)

 

Only problem, is that i'm a complete linux N00B and because of my crazy schedule @ school i'm at a loss for copius time (or brianpower) to ingest mountainloads of linux FAQs & "How to" docs (though i am trying whenever i can!).

 

1.) How well can i trust Knoppix 3.36 by itself w/o a firewall (or does it have a built-in firewall? o.O)

 

2.) Is there an open-source firewall in the works or already out there?

 

3.) Besides just copying over files to my root dir (where i have my recently corpse-ified XP installed & since the data on my drive is still good with copius backups left to do!) how do i install Knoppix onto my system?

 

4.) Does installing a 2nd OS (i.e. Knoppix) conflict with an already-installed OS? Or am i now forced to resort to creating a partition for it?

 

5.) If argument = "true" to latter q.4.) , then is there a way to set up an "emergency activation of said "partition" in case of XP breakdown a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time" ? -or does that just happen in hollywood? o_O

 

 

6.) Is there decent CD-burning software on the Sourceforge/general open-source market?

 

7.) Is there a decent 5-in-1 instant messenger for the K! desktop?

 

8.) How do you extract stuff using "Ark" (for example) if you want to install kmerlin? :(

 

 

For now this'll be all... until i can figure out how to either get my XP back or how Knoppix or (more specifically) the "programming Linux commands" process works.. [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img]

 

Thanx in advance! :)

I followed the instructions here on how to set everything up:

However, whenever I fcp I'm still prompted for a password. Here is the debug log file for fcp, I can't see anything obviously wrong in it:

Well, perhaps they're not as bad as these snapshots? ;)

I hope somebody can help clarify a point.

When looking at a site such as rpmfind I often see a list of rpm's that are for different versions e.g FC2, FC3 etc etc etc. You often see a .src.rpm file as well which, correct me if I am wrong, is the source code, but in a rpm package.

Does this mean that if I download this .src.rpm package and install that with...

rpm -ivh whatever.src.rpm it will install OK ???

I hope somebody can clear this up in my foggy mind.

Best wishes,

David.

Hi,

 

I was doing my daily security checks when I have noticed a vuln in web browser

which allow users to spoof addresses. Every web browser that I know of have

not produced a patch which is priity poor the web browsers vuln to this are:

 

OmniWeb

Opera

Mozilla / Firefox / Camino

Konqueror

Netscape

Safari

 

if your using Firefox you have a better chance of avoiding this by installing SpoofStick 1.05

exstention for firefox this can be downloaded from:

 

SpoofStick

The most secure way to to configure mysql is to use the script provided by them called:

mysql_secure_installation.

 

The first function we must conduct is to startup MySQL by issueing the following

command:

 

Quote:NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

 

 

In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current

password for the root user.  If you've just installed MySQL, and

you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,

so you should just press enter here.

 

Enter current password for root (enter for none):

OK, successfully used password, moving on...

 

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL

root user without the proper authorisation.

 

Set root password? [Y/n]y

New password:

Re-enter new password:

Password updated successfully!

Reloading privilege tables..

... Success!

 

 

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone

to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for

them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation

go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a

production environment.

 

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y

... Success!

 

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This

ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

 

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y

... Success!

 

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can

access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed

before moving into a production environment.

 

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y

- Dropping test database...

... Success!

- Removing privileges on test database...

... Success!

 

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far

will take effect immediately.

 

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

... Success!

 

Cleaning up...

 

 

 

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL

installation should now be secure.

 

Thanks for using MySQL!
