Anaconda install off DVD image
by Sam Varshavchik 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Can Anaconda in FC[45] install off a DVD iso image that's saved in an existing disk partition? AFAIK, Anaconda could be pointed at a directory with the individual CD iso distribution images. Can it do the same with the single DVD iso image?

Question about the raidreconf tool
by fedora-list＠jamesplace.net 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

I'm looking for some help with the raidreconf tool. I'm currently attempting this on a test machine. I've got two disks in RAID0 I want to add a third and change to RAID5 When I execute the command: raidreconf -o /etc/raidtab -n /etc/raidtab.new -m /dev/md0 I get the following output: Parsing /etc/raidtab Parsing /etc/raidtab.new Your on-disk array MUST be clean first. reconfiguration failed. The only hints I could find on google were to execute raidstop /dev/md0 I did that but no change. I have also destroyed all data on all three disks and recreated them and attempted the raidreconf with no data. Also no success. Any hint, educated guesses, or clairvoyant interpretation would be greatly appreciated.

and for another take on this problem: Expanding Linux Partitions with LVM - FedoraNEWS.ORG "What is LVM The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) enables you to resize your partitions without having to modify the partition tables on your hard disk. LVM becomes useful when you are running out of disk space and instead of reinstalling your system on a larger drive, you can simply expand your existing partition scheme.

RE: Anyone have Citrix ICAClient working?

I have version 9.0 working fine. Downloaded the RPM from the citrix site and installed that. Use Citrix a lot for work and this one has caused me no problems.

RE: How to put shell script to Makefile
by Gavin Li 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Steven, Thanks for your reply. What I can do in make file is: KNL_VER := $(shell uname -r) KNL_MAJOR := $(shell echo $(KNL_VER) | cut -c -3) ifeq (2.4, $(KNL_MAJOR)) MAKE_FILE := makefile else MAKE_FILE := Makefile endif all: $(MAKE) -C AppDir -f $(MAKE_FILE) I just want to know how to put a bash script in make file instead of those ifeq....endif statements. KNL_VER := $(shell uname -r) KNL_MAJOR := $(shell echo $(KNL_VER) | cut -c -3) all: $(SHELL) if [2.4 == $(KNL_MAJOR)]; then \ $(MAKE) -C AppDir -f makefile \ else \ $(MAKE) -C AppDir -f Makefile \ fi But it doesn't work, I don't know how to do it. I found some project use something like this in makefile all: -@if [ ! -f .config ]; then \ cp a.file b.file \ fi Why my make file doesn't work? -----Original Message----- From: Steven W.

Gavin, you're very confused. $? is always the exit status code of the previous command. I'm not sure what you're looking for. For starters: KNL_VER=2.6.9 if [[ $(echo ${KNL_VER) | cut -c -3) = 2.6 ]] then Make -f Makefile else Make -f Makefile-2.4 fi Now, please try again and tell me what you're trying to ask. -- Time flies like the wind.
