Howdy, and happy new year! :)

 

I'm trying to install Fedora Core 3 and when i choose Autmatically partition in Disk Partitioning Setup i get "The partition table on device hda was undreadable. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. This operation will override any previous installtion choises about which drives to ignore. Would you like to initialize this drive, erasing ALL DATA?".

And when I click yes, I get this: "input/output error during read on /dev/hda".

 

The computer is like a 5-6 years old Intel P2 350 Mhz, 128 MB RAM, 6 GB HDD.

 

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Is the time right on the forums?

When it says it is 12:48 on the forums it says on my computer 12:07.

 

It may just be me but i do look at the time users post and it would be helpful to know when they were posted exactly.

 

Thanks :)

Hi all,

 

My name is Mistix, I am 17, I have a handfull of computers and am a complete noob to Linux, I mainly hang around EFnet #Linux-Noob, nice guys and girls in there. I have nothing else to say. Thanks for you valuable time.

Here is an excellent reference to creating and understanding an Iptables firewall.

 

Iptables Tutorial 1.1.19

 

for a PDF version that you can download and print out,

 

Downloadable PDF of the above tutorial.

Isn't it horrible how something like that is liable to happen and kill all of those people. I mean there wasn't much that the countries could do in preparation for something quite so severe. :(

I don't think it would have been worse on land though, because it would be more localised and the Tsunami would never have occured.

 

On the other hand it is quite remarkable how the world is uniting in donating aid and helping out the affected.

 

 

Please donate to a charity helping to combat the diseases and hunger caused by the awful power of mother nature. ;)

How can I use my SATA drives under Suse 9.2 ? Suse finds all other IDE drives without any problem, but I am missing 2 drives. I have winXP on 1 IDE drive and Suse on another IDE drive. Suse only see itself and another IDE drive (not the XP). Any suggestions?

Looking for a ftp client to go with Suse 9.2 pro. Have tried the BearFTP thingy that comes with it, but it screwes up my start menu... :S Any suggestions? Need to have a graphical frontend. Have tried running FlashFXP (which is the favourite... ;) ) under wine, but it seems to hang and ends up useless.

This will create a dated and compressed tar backup once a week, of everything in /usr/local/apache into the /backup/ directory.

 

This certaintly may be useful considering the amount of worms floating around at the moment (like Santy, which overwrite all php and html files with rubbish)

 

** this assumes you have your websites in /usr/local/apache as per the apache/mysql/php compilation howto in this forum, obviously, if they are not in that path, edit the path to point to your websites/code **

 

(thanks Kobras for advising me here)

 

Simply do as follows:
