Eclipse & Oracle10g-EE
by Ali Helmy 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hey, I need to develop a software for a small company, but I really feel that I want to make it all based on free-software... The software will include some code (Duh) which I will write in Java, along with a DBMS... So, I was thinking of using Eclipse for developing the software, and using the new free Oracle 10g-Express Edition<http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/index.html>as the DBMS... Have any of you tried this combination before? I think I'm settled about using Eclipse to develop the software, but how about the DBMS? Suggestions? -- A. Helmy

Memory requirements for graphical install
by Alan 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I think the numbers need to change on the amount of memory required to install Fedora Core 4. Doing an "install everything" in graphical mode on a 256meg machine fails with out of memory errors. (It seems to ignore the swap space at that point, thinking it has enough memory.) Text install of "everything" works fine on the same machine. -- "George W.

Firefox for Fedora
by Dotan Cohen 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I want to install Firefox 1.5 but Yum does not provide it. So I looked for rpms on the net and found a few for Fedora, but none are in Hebrew. Before I install from the oficial tarball, I have some concerns that I would like some input on: 1) If I install from the tarball, yum will no longer update Firefox. Can I tell yum to maintain it anyway? 2) I did locate and found that most ff files are in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/ . Can I just unpack the new 1.5 tarball in /usr/lib/firefox-1.5/ and have them live side by side? 3) I currently can type the command "firefox" in the command line to start Firefox. Will this change to start 1.5 if I install them side by side? If not, how do I correct it? Thank you. Dotan Cohen http://technology-sleuth.com/long_answer/how_much_memory_will_i_need_for_my…

aacraid write through cache into write back cache
by Samuel Díaz García 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

I have an Adaptec 2410SA raid controller with RAID 1 configured on it. The system is an AMD ATHLON 1800 CPU. With FC4 updated distro. The system is working fine, but TOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. Taking a view into startup messages I can see: sda: got wrong page sda: assuming drive cache: write through In dmesg: ... AAC0: kernel 4.1-0[5934] AAC0: monitor 4.1-0[5934] AAC0: bios 4.1-0[5934] AAC0: serial bab115 scsi0 : aacraid Vendor: ADAPTEC Model: UNO Rev: V1.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sda: 156247808 512-byte hdwr sectors (79999 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: got wrong page sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 156247808 512-byte hdwr sectors (79999 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sda: got wrong page sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 ... I think changing write through into write back cache will solve the problem. The controller utility was used to configure all caches in the drivers. Any help about this topic?

XFS file system
by don fisher 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

I can determine that the XFS file system is supported. But it does not appear to be mainstream (e.g. no mkfs.xfs etc). Abut two years ago it was used for large (>4TB) and fast file systems. What is the current status of XFS. Most all of the documentation I have been able to locate date from the last century. don -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Don Fisher dfisher(a)as.arizona.edu | | Steward Observatory | | 933 N.
