similar to: Question concerning booting from Floppy Drive

Seth, Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to bother with this, but what is the "root pivot" function and where can I find doc's on it. From what I understand from your email the system would basically boot twice. Once from a stripped kernel on the floppy disk to mount the CD, and then after the CD is mounted it would reboot with the kernel and initial randisk found on the

I have found several instances where rsync refuses to copy a new file. I am using it to sync changes from a staging web server to production servers, and there are certain files that it just plain won't copy. The file is totally new. No such name has ever existed on the target server(, or on the source server until now). In this instance, I added 3 completely new files to the same

Hi all, Do any of you have any ideas for getting a DOS floppy to reboot to the hard drive (which may contain Windows 98 or XP or Linux or Novell etc etc)? I want to use syslinux, but it does not support the localboot option like pxelinux and isolinux do. Basically, I want to boot DOS from a floppy, run some DOS stuff, then reboot to the hard drive while leaving the floppy disk in the drive.

Can I boot to memdisk using loadlin.exe? I saw that there were references to loadlin in the memdisk init.S (at least in the 2.04 version) so I thought it would be possible. If there's some resource that I can refer to I'd love to know that. DR-DOS 7.02 loadlin.exe 1.6c Sorry if this is a FAQ, I looked through the digest some before I joined this list, but I didn't see anything there

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Could someone possibly clarify the relationship between these 2 programs? I am in a situation where I am developing for an embedded system, and I need to rewrite my CMOS before I actually boot into linux. ~ The only tools for manipulating my cmos happen to be DOS utilities, and I was hoping that I could script their use in autoexec.bat or somewhere

Dear All, I wonder whether anyone has an experience with FAME package written by Jeff Hallman. All my attempts to send him the following problem report did not succeed (the mail system says that my e-mail could not be delivered), so I turn for help to this list. I tried to use your FAME package written for R, but somehow I cannot get it working. I am using Windows XP and the newest R

I'm writing a package that interfaces to the FAME database, via a library of compiled C routines accessible through a Linux .so file. My .onLoad() function loads the .so like this: dyn.load("/opt/fame/timeiq/lib/linux_x86/libjchli.so", local = F) and after that I also load my own fame.so via library.dynam("fame", package = "fame") The code in fame.so uses

Hi, What the the size limit of booting bzImage file with syslinux ? I have tested different sized bzImage files, and when the files are small <800K, they work with syslinuz, but at some size larger they fail to work. This was the same problem loadlin1.6 had, but loadlin1.6c fixes the issue, and I can boot bzImage sizes up to 1.5Meg with loadlin, but syslinux fails. Can you confirm this

My fame package has to link to the libchli.so that comes with FAME. However, FAME is now supplying both 32 and 64 bit versions of the library. The 32-bit version is $FAME/hli/libchli.so while the 64-bit version is $FAME/hli/64/libchli.so. To set the right flags, it seems that I need to know, from within configure.ac, whether the R installation is 32 bit or 64 bit. Is there a way to detect this?

My fame package has a function that checks to see if a FAME SERVER process is already running. On Linux, I can do this in one of two ways: pid <- Sys.getpid() user <- Sys.info()["user"] cmd <- paste("pgrep -fU", user, "-P", pid, "'FAME SERVER'") fameRunning <- as.logical(length(system(cmd, intern = T))) or I can use cmd

I am trying to establish an interface between FAME and R. I have downloaded the zip file containing the documentation regarding this interface from the CRAN website, but I am still having problems. Thus far, what I have done is as follows: 1. I ran the "ClientServer.R" file. 2. Then I ran "startRemoteServer.R" file. 3. Then I ran the "fame.R file". As I

I would like to create a binary package for Windows which when installed will give the user an option of whether to install one version or another. Here is the problem, I have a package 'FAME' that can run in two different modes on Windows. An old mode that uses R to connect to a remote linux machine and a new way that uses a locally installed database. I would allow this decision to be

Hi, I'm a newbie on all of this so this might be a very stupid question! I have a DOS boot disk which loads generic USB drivers to make my USB pen drive accessible under DOS. The pen drive has a number of floppy disk images on it of various utilities and I want to mount these using MEMDISK via LOADLIN. All my attempts so far either freeze the PC or reboot it! I have tried running it from

Hello list member: I've recently had a problem in that I'm unable to quit an R Session. I noticed this after the update to 2.8.0, but I believe I also noticed it on another machine, in the previous version. It occurs on both linux and Mac platforms. It only occurs when I start R in some particular workspaces that have alot of objects in them; it does not occur if I start R in an

Hi, Just FYI: I've create a template disk image + small shell script for creating a multi-disk linux boot floppies for kernels and/or initrd's with a size > 1.44 MB. It's based on FreeDOS Beta 8, the XMSdsk ramdisk and Loadlin: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/clifford/MDLBL/ I primary wrote it for ROCK Linux <www.rocklinux.org> but it might be usefull for everyone who

Hello, helpeRs, I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to change a dataframe from long to wide format using reshape (the original). I would appreciate it if someone could demonstrate the correct syntax. The script below will create a toy example. The new wide data should have a column name for each unique entry in the "fame" column. Under each column should be either the

I recently put several packages for time series databases on CRAN. The main package, TSdbi, provides a common interface to time series databases. The objective is to define a standard interface so users can retrieve time series data from various sources with a simple, common, set of commands, and so programs can be written to be portable with respect to the data source. The SQL

Hi everyone, I am doing an analysis of reviews in IMDB and am running into trouble getting my data into the right shape for analysis. Key question: I want to know for each word in the IMDB, whether it is over- or under-represented in a particular category (Rating x Genre). I was figuring on estimating this with a g-test, fwiw. But the basic question I'm asking here is about data
