Comments:
<0> AutOPSY: yeah... thanks
<0> I didn't think of that!
<0> how do I find out what's mounted on what?
<1> df -h
<0> /etc/mtab?
<1> fdisk -l
<2> I don't know, try thinking for a minute.
<0> ah cool lyy
<1> ram_einstein: just for future reference, always man the commands people throw up on the screen :D
<1> ;D
<0> AutOPSY: yeah, /etc/mtab would suffice
<0> lyy: I always do that :)
<3> how do I install imap on FC3
<0> here's my df -l: http://rafb.net/paste/results/qFghIQ73.html
<1> hmmm imap on fc3
<1> HamYaI: you want to provide an imap service?
<1> HamYaI: or just have a email client that uses imap?
<0> It doesn't list swap space...
<4> dovecot
<3> lyy: yes
<4> You're right, df doesn't.
<1> HamYaI: yes to what? both? :D
<3> lyy: I'm installing a webmail service and it requires imap
<0> ... and what's /dev/shm?
<4> RAM disk.
<3> lyy: I had imap installled from "apt-get install imap"
<0> ignacio: I see
<0> ignacio: like swap space?
<3> lyy: but could not get it started
<4> No.
<1> HamYaI: try yum install imap then
<0> ignacio: then?
<0> what's RAM disk?
<4> Even better, try installing php-imap and restarting the web server.
<4> It's storage space in main memory.
<3> lyy: "yum install imap" does not install it
<0> disk being used as RAM?
<1> HamYaI: did you do a yum update?
<4> RAM being used as disk.
<0> *like RAM
<0> ignacio: ah I see
<1> HamYaI: also, it would help if you added a repository into yum t hat has imap services as their packages
<0> ignacio: what will it have? clipboard?
<4> No, it's disk space.
<1> HamYaI: so the first step i think is to figure out how to add a repo that has the apps u need
<4> You know, like /dev/hda*?
<0> ignacio: but the data will be wiped when I shutdown
<4> Right.
<0> ignacio: then what kind of data is stored there?
<0> not /home's stuff surely
<4> Data that you need high-speed access to.
<1> HamYaI: another thing to check is the list of apps available. i think it's "yum list"
<3> lyy: where should I start?
<0> ignacio: hmmm... okay. Like open applications?
<0> mine's empty :(
<3> lyy: I'm wondering if "apt-get" is better than yum
<1> HamYaI: google for: yum fc4 repo tutorial <--good start
<4> It's empty by default.
<1> HamYaI: they have their pros and cons
<1> HamYaI: but they can both work together
<0> ignacio: oh I see. So you put stuff that you need fast access to into it, right?
<4> Right.
<0> ignacio: did you put anything in it?
<0> like firefox or something?
<4> Nope.
<1> hehe
<4> My hard drives are fast enough for me.
<1> ignacio: just data right?
<3> lyy: okay, I had imap installed using "apt-get" so I might just go on with it
<0> ignacio: ok. Thanks
<3> lyy: and find a way to start imap service using xinetd
<4> Whatever you want.
<1> HamYaI: ok. but honestly, i'm not the guy to talk about installing imap services :(
<1> HamYaI: if you want more info on fc4 type /topic
<1> there are cool links there i think u and i both can use :D
<3> lyy: okay
<0> what's mounted on the swap space?
<0> *-then
<1> swap is tabled out memory
<4> Huh? Swap space doesn't get mounted.
<0> ignacio: why?
<0> then how is it used?
<1> ram_einstein: you're so funny :) haha. i love your questions
<5> ram_einstein, you may need a lesson in hard disk/ram/ramdisk/cache/ etc
<4> The kernel maintains records of swap partitions.
<3> lyy: I have the imap running now
<0> Londoner: possibly
<1> HamYaI: cool :)
<0> so a 'Linux swap / Solaris' filesystem isn't mounted but it used by the kernel right?
<5> ram_einstein, i dont mean in a bad way, but it would help
<1> HamYaI: perhaps you can tell me since idon't know..but why imap over other email services?
<0> how do I find out which 'Linux swap / Solaris' filesystem the kernel is using?
<4> swapon -s
<1> ram_einstein: i have a link for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache
<0> Londoner: the problem is that I'm still stuck with DOS partitions! Your point is was taken well. I'll read
<1> it will help ya a lot
<0> ignacio: thanks again. My kernel is using /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb3 with some priority. If I remove one, I'm busted right?
<0> I need to reconfigure it to use only one first
<1> hehe
<1> ram_einstein: you dind't install a swap?
<1> you're probably have alot of ram
<1> but yeah you might get busted
<0> lyy: I have very little RAM- 512 DDR.
<1> yikes. do you get panics?
<0> lyy: ofcourse not
<4> As long as you have enough RAM and swap to store whatever the other swap partition was holding you'll be fine.
<0> 512 MB DDR isn't that little
<1> ignacio: hey ignacio, what kind of message you get if you don't have enough ram and didn't setup a swap?
<0> ignacio: swapon /dev/hdb3 will instruct the kernel to stop using /dev/hdb3 for the purpose of swap, right?
<4> swapoff
<0> ignacio: thanks again
<1> i need to get an old computer and test stupid things just so i know sometimes :D
<0> cool. I just de-instructed
<4> Under 2.6 your system may lock up.
<4> 2.6 does need a small amount of swap in order to run properly, for a certain definition of "properly".
<0> ignacio: no. I'm using one
<0> 1 GB is good enough I think
<0> I just turned off /dev/hdb3
<0> /dev/hda3 is still being used
<6> hen is it so far ?
<0> oh man! I'm confused about primary and secondary partitions again! That DOS fdisk screwed my mind. I think I'm right: Primary partition is a 'bootable' partition on which the bootloader resides and / is mounted. Secondary is all other kinds of partitions like /home, /tmp. Am I right?
<4> Primary/logical.
<0> ignacio: so what I said about Primary is right?
<4> Yes.
<4> Although strictly speaking only the legacy MBR makes the booting distinction.
<4> lilo, grub, etc. can boot off of logical partitions.
<0> But wait a sec. If I create a primary partition on the non-first cylinder, it will still have to install the boot loader on cylinder 0
<0> ignacio: ah yes, MBR has to be on the first cylinder of the disk
<0> or whatever magic number
<4> First 448 bytes or so.
<0> ignacio: whatever. The MBR then points to grub/lilo on Logical partitions right?
<0> uh... it's called extended in fdisk... is extended logical? Ditch 'secondary'
<4> It points to the stage1.5+ stuff on logical partitions.
<0> ignacio: got you
<0> so if there's an os installed from first cylinder onwards and I want to use the middle disk space, I should create an extended parition right?
<0> even to mount /?
<0> I need to install another distro in the middle portion of a disk
<4> You don't need to create an extended partition unless you want more than 4 partitions.
<0> ignacio: okay
<0> primary it is then
<0> extended partition is like a container for logical paritions right?
<0> I remember it from the DOS fdisk
<0> :(
<4> Right.
<4> And there should only be one, and it should be the last one.
<0> ignacio: yes. Thank you.
<0> ignacio: so if I have a large extended, I can play with it, putting in and taking out many parititions right?
<0> for data ie.
<0> not os'es
<4> Right.
<7> I got disconnected for 13 minutes now, DNS doesn't work anymore either now.
