linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hello Everyone, I'm trying to extract a tar file that was made on a redhat linux and then transferred trough FTP to the AIX 5.2 server. Everytime i extract the TAR file it stops with an error on the exact same line: Quote: ... x munin-1.4.3/master/DejaVuSansMono.ttf, 320812 bytes, 627 media blocks. tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 1 not equal to 6443. I get the file trough FTP in bainary mode. First time i just did the ftp transfer again, because i though it got corrupt. But i tried several times and always the exact same error when extracting with tar -xvf filename.tar I then tried recreating the tar on the redhat box using different tar format. I tried them all: ustar, posix, v7, oldgnu. I then transferred them all, and every time exactly the same error as above. I'm really lost as why this is, and how to fix this ? (HowTos)

Hi, I'm using fwrite to write into a file stored in a normal USB flash drive. My question is: if for example a sector is damaged, does fwrite try with another one before getting me a result? If not, If I recall fwrite, will it try with a different one or with the same? Regards

Mobile Device connectivity 3 years 44 weeks ago

Hi All,

I want to connect my nokia handset with DKU-2 cable in linux. Is anyone done this. Is there anything like Nokia PC suit for redhat linux.

Basically i want to connect it for GPRS (net) ,but if it can give other facilities like phone browser, file upload/download etc. , its best.

I got to the part where I'm supposed to partition Mint. I've got a 500GB hard drive, and I thought I'd give 300GB to LM--but I'm unclear about using ext2, 3 or 4. What about the swap file? Is that automatic?

Thanks,
