Re: [ILUG-BOM] YUM and Pirut

When I first started this thread few days back, my objective was not to find a faster alternative for YUM on Fedora. I had been using Synaptic and APT on Fedora Core 2, but stopped doing so after upgrading to FC5. Partly due to my laziness, and partly due to the fact that I read APT support will slowly be discontinued in Fedora. After all if YUM is being promoted (Pirut was written for YUM replacing system-config-packages) by the Fedora Project, it should have something in it after all. What I would like to know is WHY YUM is slower than APT is at all it is. Cheers, Debarshi -- ,= ,-_-. =. ((_/)o o(\_)) `-'(. .)`-' \_/

Survey on FLOSS - please help
by Vickram Crishna 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

http://flossworld.org/survey/dev_open.php I got a mail from Rishab Aiyer Ghosh about this survey: please do publicise and encourage people to fill it in wherever possible, it seems India is one out of 8 countries surveyed, where the response has been quite inadequate so far. Possibly this survey has been posted here before, but clearly it didn't have enough effect, so please excuse me for posting the link again, in that case. --- Vickram

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Routing between 2 private networks.

> Did you try man route ?? I did. You must have seen the link I attached (proof of an attempt to do my home-work). I would not have asked if I understood how to execute the solution given there. > Please do your home work well before posting on list. > Here for your ignorance am pasting output directly from "man route" You are making unnecessary presumptions. I might not know a lot about routing tables, but I dont like being addressed like this. . > route add -net 192.57.66.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw ipx4 [root@Sunflower ~]# route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw ipx4 ipx4: Host name lookup failure [root@Sunflower ~]# Thats what I get. > This command adds the net "192.57.66.x" to be gatewayed through the > former route to the SLIP interface." I read this line. I dont know what is SLIP. Would this enable the packets to return successfully to the 192.168.0.x network? They are able to reach the 172.16.16.x network from 192.168.0.x but enable to return back. > What does he do if he reboots the server or restarts the network service? Fortunately I know how to do this. One has to make an entry into one of the start-up scripts in /etc/init.d/... or /etc/rc.d... I dont remember the exact file, but I think I will be able to do it.
