similar to: Question on "root pivot" function

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

Hello, I'm using syslinux to create bootable CDs, and I'm stuck. I'm new to the list so if there is relevant documentation just point me at it. I'm not able to get an image created with the mkisofs option -hard-disk-boot. Here's what I've done... First, I cloned the bootable Redhat CD, put it on my hard drive, created an image with mkisofs, and booted the CD. This

First I'd like to thank you, and everyone who has contributed to the isolinux development. It has been the solution to many of my development needs. Currently I am creating a Linux system that runs directly from CD. Currently the CD is working and I am using isolinux to boot the CD. The compressed kernel is approximately 2 meg and the compressed initial ramdisk is approximately 4 meg.

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

Peter, I'm a new user of Linux trying to use the SYSLINUX boot loader to create a Linux system. I'm doing it on a PC with WIN98 installed, and I prefer using a dual boot system. I got through as far as creating a semi-bootable floppy. The problem I'm getting states "could not find kernel image: Linux." However, I do get the "boot:" prompt as well (I just

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

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, (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

Hey all, There's a website I help run that uses the Cassandra DB as its database. I notice that if I run the web server in SELinux permissive mode, the site works fine. But if I put it into enforcing mode, the site goes down with this error: Warning: require_once(/McFrazier/PhpBinaryCql/CqlClient.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in

Hi, I suspect a CPU bottleneck in one of our PostgreSQL servers but not sure how to confirm the suspect. It's a DELL Box running CentOS 5.4 with 64GB RAM and 16 XEON E7430 2.13 GHz processors. vmstat r column "run queue" usually indicates values higher than 2 and less than 5 but "Load Average" values from top, sar -q and other commands show always values less than 1.

An easy way to start troubleshooting these is to look at the audit logs and see what SELInux is blocking. You have /McFrazier in the email.. if that's off the root tree than unless you've set permissions to allow httpd to look at tat folder, I bet that's one problem. if you run ls -Z you can see the labels that are present on those folders, that might be helpful too. On Wed, Mar 4,

An update to the problem I reported earlier - A kind list reader, Michael K Ter Louw, suggested I try syslinux v1.67, and viola!, my problem went away completely. So something between 1.67 and 1.71 got broke with respect to isolinux. Hmm... Another kind list reader, Seth Kurtzberg, was kind enough to make and effort to send an updated initrd; although it didn't solve the problem, it was

Is there any support for NoSQL databases such as Cassandra (CQL) or MongoDB now or planned in the future for userdb and passdb lookups?

Hello, my name is Axel Reimer and I am new to this mailing list. I subscribed because I was just thinking about how hard it would be to implement a flac-decoder in VHDL (in order to use it on a Xilinx-FPGA). Since I am working at a University in Germany I was thinking of offering this project for students. What do you think. How much time would you suggest for such an implementation (if only

Hello, I'm talking about the following hole: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2009-2663 In Slackware 12.2, so far, the current libvorbis version is still 1.2.0. My question is: I don't use ".OGG" files, but I regularly listen to a OGG webstream. Am I secure in this situation or could a corrupted webstream trigger the discussed bug? Thanks in advance Yours

I have recently begun using Markdown + PHP Md Extra + SmartyPants in the Symphony XML-based CMS. I'm not sure if this is a Symphony question, or one that can be answered here. I hope someone will tell me. :) I've done my best to find an answer in the online documentation, but drawn a blank. When I use nested lists -- it doesn't matter whether <ol> or <ul>, there is always
