02 Jul '05

How do I burn the install CDs from the ISO images while running Windows XP? If I recall there were instructions to do this for FC3 but they're gone for FC4. Thanks. -- Glenn

Does anyone have cups-lpd working on Fedora Core 4? If so, are you willing to share some details about your SELinux configuration? Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher i.pilcher(a)comcast.net ========================================================================

If I have time later this week I might try to the YUM approach, and I'll definitely file a bug. I appreciate the help. I really want to avoid a re-installation (too much time on config files invested and I'm lazy and don't want to do them again). So the YUM approach looks good. Thanks, --Andy

Recommened Tape Backup software
by Julian Underwood 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Dear List, I'm pretty frustrated with Tape Backup software at the moment. I simply want an easy to use/install, program which will allow me to backup my server to multiple DLT tapes. I tried BRU, and it worked OK, but it's not free, so I couldn't restore. I checked out Networker from Legato, and it seems a bit much for a single server--which is also not free. Could someone recommend a good backup software which can handle this task? I understand that Amanda is quite good, but doesn't support appending to multiple tapes "out of the box." Thanks in advance, Julian

RE Linksys 54g
by lee 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Don't know if this will help or if you want to go this way. www.linuxant.com has a linux driver loader kernel modual that let you use the ms windows driver. I had to do this for a netgear card. They do charge $20 fee for a license, but they give you a 30 day free trail. It was cheaper then buying a new card. Lee

How do you install an sh program?
by Benjamin Sher 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Dear friends: This is an image manipulation program called XNView. I just downloaded the source tarball. But I can't figure out how to install this program. It must be simple. And I have installed sh programs before but there is usually an install.sh file. Not here. So, how do I install it, please? I wrote to the author but just got a reply that he is on vacation.

Multihoming: Restricting an app's access to some IP's
by Kenneth Porter 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Is there any way to set user or application access control on the interfaces available? I've got two public interfaces on a hosted server, and some dumb apps (closed source game servers) bind to the wildcard interface, so they end up announcing their existence on an interface I don't want used for that service.
