Since you are using fopen() to open the file, you need to use fclose() to close the file. You are using close(). So basically, you are not closing the file and eventually reach the maximum number of files that can be opened. Check out this example: http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstdio/fgets.html

Mystified had the same issue a while back. Her apache configuration files didn't have the correct entry for PHP so they were not being completed correctly.

Here's a second thing you can try if the first doesn't work.. 1. Use rescue steps to boot into linux. 2. type cd /etc/X11 3. type vi XF86Config-4 4. Scroll down and look for the following line.. Load "v4l" # Video for Linux 5. Comment the line out by adding a # in front of it. # Load "v4l" # Video for Linux To comment out in vi, a. position cursor in front of line b. hit letter i for insert c. type # d. hit escape to leave insert mode (vi is weird) e. hit the : colon character. At the bottom of the screen a colon will appear f. type wq and press enter (for write/quit) 6. Reboot (alt-control-del) Video 4 linux can cause the blank/black screen. I've used this fix several times successfully..

Here's the first thing you can try.. 1. Boot off of CD1 2. Hit F1 3. Type rescue 4. Select Console from the menu 5. Type chroot /mnt This should get you to your linux file system. Now try typing XFDrake This program should allow you to configure your graphics board and monitor. Do a reboot when ready (alt-control-delete). If this doesn't work, then the second thing to try is to edit your Video configuration file, but lets see how you do first..

Glad to hear :)

If you really wanted to do mac style mounting then you would need to have the CD device "tell" you when something is inserted vs querying the cd every N seconds. But basically you would be reinventing the wheel (sort of) and making a supermount.

Here's something to check out.. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_...Q_20095835.html Also, have you tried using mkreiserfs? See here also... from the reiserfs home page.. http://www.reiserfs.net/faq.html#big-ide and then you have this

You can also check out www.sourceforge.net. Same idea as freshmeat. Also, if you haven't started reading it, check out www.slashdot.org, its not software but good place to jump into the linux world and many many other worlds :)

I have /, /swap, /usr, /home as separate partitions. They all use reiserfs (except swap). I made sure that all but / are extended partitions.. You might not be doing something right there..

I guess the idea of a file manager is that it makes the console unnecessary and that's why you are not finding that feature. Did you really look at www.freshmeat.net and sourceforge for file managers? I know I haven't :)

Here's a page to check out.. http://www.linux-backup.net/app.gwif.html If you are really serious about doing incremental backups, I would find some software designed to deal with it.. You can check www.freshmeat.net as well :)

I admit, I pretty much avoid the file manager and use the console only. For important directories that I frequently travel to, I use an alias to get there. For example, my download folder, I type mdown to get there and give me a file listing.

The thing is that most mp3's are already compressed so compressing them again is not necessarily gonna save you space. I would do some tests by compressing 10 of them and comparing file sizes. I took 21 meg of mp3's and compressed them (using zip) and the resulting file was 21 meg. 30 Gig of Mp3's is approx 43 CD's at 700 meg each. So you are looking at a bit of work. Other ideas are to buy a DVD burner or a second drive as a backup. Hookup the drive, copy it on and have two copies. Probably the second drive would be a cheaper option with a DVD burner down the road when the market settles a bit.

You should also look at the chips you have now and how many slots you have. E.g. Let's say you have 2 slots and both have a 64Meg chip. In this case, you shoudl probably replace them both with 256 or a 256 and a 128. I would recommend 384 (256+128) at minimum to mostly avoid swapping.. But with prices so cheap, consider at a 256 + 256

Could there be some job that is running every 4 days?

Look at the original Gnome Terminal link on your menu bar. If you don't have one, then rightclick on menu bar and create a launcher from menu. You will see the command to execute is the terminal command with some options. Here's mine.. /usr/bin/gnome-terminal --window-withprofile=mryan --geometry=120x50 If you open a console and do a gnome-terminal --help | more you will get a list of available options.. To ansswer your question gnome-terminal --working-directory=/usr/lib

Don't have an exact answer, but do a google search for linux respawn fast config Bunch of entries on it..

That might be a USB issue. I can't recall whether it was a 8.0 or 8.1 problem. See here.. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/81errata.php3#usb

Just to play devil's adovcate, how would we prove him wrong? Remember, we not talking about the method in which security holes are handled, but the infostructure of the code itself. Has there been any kind of independant research stacking different OS's against each other in terms of "performance" as related to security? To make it more complicated, there are many distro's of Linux. I could start one, publish a release and it could have major holes..

A zero download means just that ZERO! No data was saved on the hard drive. Either the download was interrupted, or it didn't copy from a temporary location, or the file was not closed properly. Have to do it again..

Did you try typing exit?

You can also do | less This gives you more of a page up / page down ability. To quit less or more, just type q to quit. You can also more filename less filename

Here is a good thread on mouse. I found it by searching and typing in mouse. It has some good info on how to modify the configuration file :) http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...highlight=mouse
