I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and

I have just received some audit info on the SYSLINUX 2.01 installer running setuid. There seems to be some issues, and although I can fix them easily enough I'm somewhat questioning the whole approach. The other alternative would be to make the syslinux installer a wrapper around mtools, and use mtools for the filesystem access. Since this would be done entirely in userspace, as a normal

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

Hi, is there an option to have the DISPLAY command issue a pause after each screen full of information? I've been searching for a way to have users to agree to (or at least be able to read ) the GPL license. "by issueing a command other than F2 you agree that you are bound to the terms of the GNU Public License that is used on this FreeDOS beta9 cdrom. You can read the license terms by

Hi. I am trying to build a bootable linux CD using isolinux and a cloop image. I am a bit lost right now. What I have done is built a custom distro on a seperate partition on my hard drive. I can boot to it with Grub no problem. I've added the ioslinux directory with isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, a kernel (with initrd, loopback, iso support), and an initrd file. My next mission is to some

The revised patch submitted on #4748 broke the build, I''m looking to sort out why. Also note that this auto-test email didn''t make it to rails-core because it was too big (every test failed, so the resulting email was huge). I''ll patch my auto-testing script to truncate the email to no larger than a few kb. Michael Schoen wrote: > "marcel" made

Hi, (1.) How is it possible to get automatic a "lower triangle of correlation matrix" ? h.cor <- cor(dat,use="pairwise.complete.obs") zz <- lower.tri(h.cor,diag=T) ### that's not what i wish and "wrong" ? results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)])) results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)]),5) Must i take the lowest

Hi, I usually have around 10 identities loaded in my local ssh-agent and when I use the "ForwardAgent" option all them are forwarded to the remote server, which is not ideal. I usually only need to forward one (or two) of the identities and I would like to be able to choose which one(s) to forward. Looking for solutions it seems that the only option is to create a new ssh-agent, add

"rick" has given AR/Oracle some love, but it''s still unhappy... http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/5310 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r5310 | rick | 2006-10-16 08:42:55 -0700 (Mon, 16 Oct 2006) | 1 line Fix has_many :through to add the appropriate conditions when going through an association using STI. Closes #5783. [Jonathan Viney]

So, I''m personally cool with this change (patch from #5454, applied in [4596]), and I''ll make it work for Oracle tomorrow. But just wondering if folks considered the performance impact of the change? From a simple test it seems that BigDecimal math is about twice as slow as using Floats.

So my automated script caught this issue, though I think my email headers were bad, so rails-core has put the automated email on hold pending "moderation". I''ll fix that issue, and look at the one below as well. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Rails AR/Oracle Unit Test: [4185] failed Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2006 08:32:04 -0700 From: Michael Schoen

I do not know the precise language to describe the situation. But here it is what I want to do. I need to annotate a graph that contains two or more curves with labels that contain math symbols. The label must go on top of the curve. The problem is that when I annotate the plot, I can see the curve behind the label. Here it is an example using a simple straight line. x<-c(0,1)

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

I can submit a patch, but wanted to confirm I''m looking at this right... The docs indicate that if you specify a has_many association with :finder_sql, but no :counter_sql, it constructs the appropriate counter sql by substituting the SELECT clause. But has_many_association.rb doesn''t seem to do that -- it just passes Base#count_by_sql the finder_sql, which doesn''t

No one is arguing that there aren't ABI specs or LLVM design guidelines that say that unaligned accesses "should not", "could not" or "aren't guaranteed to" work, because it's besides the point. The point is that unaligned 32-bit loads and stores *work in practice* on every single ARM device Apple has ever manufactured. I'm not a hardware person, but

Hi all... Hopefully this is the last prelease. If people on non-linux systems could post back any problems with cluster::status, I''d appreciate it.

Hello, I'm newbie with NUT, I'm trying to get work a *Tripp-Lite Internet350Ser*, a small UPS with serial port. The only reference about, is a modification patch that Mr. Patrick Levesque did for NUT 2.4.1 but the actual 2.6.1 looks to not have it yet. I tried all tripp and generic drivers but no success. Has anyone luck with this Tripp-Lite model? Thanks! Iv?n Escobar

Recently upgraded our gems to the most recent beta gems, and found that our app runs about 10-20x slower. Db requests are still fast, but there was a noticeable lag between each step in the process to render a page (when tailing the log). Reverting back to our previous set of gems (0.14.2.2825) resolved the issue. Is anyone aware of the cause? Any guesses? I''m happy to help debug,
