Thanks for the response. When you run memtest86 from a Knoppix LiveCD, neither Linux (the kernel) nor Debian (the OS) is involved (except perceptually perhaps, in that memtest86 is available as a Debian package). It's like dual-booting, only instead of dual-booting between something like Knoppix and Windows, you're dual-booting between Knoppix and a single application. So X and acpi parameters to the Linux kernel, etc, are irrelevant, but your suggestions demonstrate some good trouble-shooting skills on your part. Again, thanks for the response; it's appreciated! -- Kent

true and I'm sure it could be done better without my help. It did sort of organically grow that way (never a good justification for anything).=20 So I maintain that its good to keep our local fire server isolated by operating the DMZ in a xen vm. But I will agree that its not necessary to run seperate DomU's for mail and apache. And with multiple vm's running their cron jobs over night at roughly the same time, dropping one vm would lessen the load significantly (in this case, 25%).=20 A --9wgEzdE/cOoYWTWe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGiutBaIeIEqwil4YRAr2pAKCO3EKFzAqpgxrxgda5QEL9EcRbGwCg0SW9 75HPEL58etr/PJ2XGWOjFNU= =LARk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --9wgEzdE/cOoYWTWe--

Not a bad guess. But if that's the case, it must be firm-coded into the BIOS; I could find no power-saving options in the BIOS setup screens. I had not thought about memtest86 perhaps looking idle to the system whereas sitting at a Knoppix boot prompt would not. Your idea gives me an idea for another test; tomorrow I'll see if I can load memtest86 but pause it so it doesn't check memory, and see if it still powers off at 35 mins; if so, that would seem to eliminate faulty RAM as being the cause of the power-down.

This also worked on my Sony Trinitron CPD-G400. Too bad I couldn't get xvidtune to work, but in any case the practical problem is solved. Thanks.

I first noticed this when I took my 486 from Woody to Sarge. It seemed to be a combination of far more packages and more 'features' that aptitude keeps track of. It went from 10 seconds to about 3 minutes. With Etch (after some shell-gameing with the drive to get it installed), its gone to several minutes. Since aptitude puts all that database in memory, the poor 486 ends up thrashing its swap. On my PII, aptitude takes about 40 seconds and takes up most memory but doesn't hit swap much. On my Athlon64 running amd64 it takes about 1.5 seconds. [begin rant] I could just write it off as feature-bloat (like a browser) but its central to keeping a debian system up-to-date. (yes I know, I could just use apt-get but that still takes a long time, as does dselect). But then again, the designers of debian and linux in general are focused more on making new hardware work so that the new apps will work and are less interested in providing a system that works with ancient hardware. [end rant] Doug.

Does this really give any more security than running the firewall as a regular part of the main box? Is it as secure as a separate old computer? These three (plus I suppose a commercial hardware firewall) seem to be the choices. How do they compare for security? Doug.

Why not change the crontab on each so that they run at different times? Doug.

Are you sure it's a HTTP header issue with Apache? Did you try changing the encoding at the client (browser) manually? The meta tag is embedded in a HTML page, so it can't influence the HTTP headers, AFAIK. So, it's either something wrong at the client, or with your Apache config. See AddCharset and AddDefaultCharset in the Apache docs for some hints. HTH. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah 462, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras Chennai - 600036

The 2nd chapter 2.3.1 talks about prepare the book disk media. I got a blank floppy disk, inserted it in and did the following $-----code1 begin---------$ ronie:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k count=1440 dd: writing `/dev/fd0': Input/output error 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.803137 seconds, 0.0 kB/s $-----code1 end--------$ After that I did mke2fs command as below: $------------------Code2 begin-------------------$ ronie:~# mke2fs -m0 /dev/fd0 mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) Warning: could not erase sector 2: Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=1024 (log=0) Fragment size=1024 (log=0) 184 inodes, 1440 blocks 0 blocks (0.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=1 Maximum filesystem blocks=1572864 1 block group 8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group 184 inodes per group Warning: could not read block 0: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read Warning: could not erase sector 0: Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write Writing inode tables: done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: Warning, had trouble writing out superblocks.done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 26 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. $-------------------code2 end----------------$ After that, I found out I could not mount onto the floppy disk. $------------------code3 begin-----------------------$ ronie:~# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt mount: you must specify the filesystem type ronie:~# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so $---------------code3 end----------------------------$ $---------------code4 begin-----------------------$ ronie:~# dmesg | tail Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 floppy0: data CRC error: track 1, head 0, sector 7, size 2 floppy0: data CRC error: track 1, head 0, sector 7, size 2 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 42 Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 5 floppy0: data CRC error: track 0, head 0, sector 7, size 2 floppy0: data CRC error: track 0, head 0, sector 7, size 2 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 6 Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev fd0. $-------------------code4 end-------------------------$ What is the filesystem I should specify for this?
