I have a 500 gig hard drive which I dual boot with Scientific Linux and Windows. I wanted to access the Windows partition from SL and this is what worked. I ran the following command and while it worked, there was a message that something-or-other either did not exist or was already installed – I …
This is something I’d written awhile ago when using Centos. It should apply to Scientific Linux, as well. Here’s a little update, too. If your using a Linux live CD (eg. Slax) to recover files from a hard drive with a LVM partition these commands are handy as well. You can run the following to …
This is a simple method of emailing a log file, or any sort of text file, automatically (just add a line like this to cron) – and, obviously, you might not want to use this for any sort of very large file: 30 1 * * * cat /var/log/vsftpd.log | mail -s “VSFTPD_LOG” my_email@mydomain.net
Well…this was kind of a pain to get working, for an idiot like me. I wanted to get a tarred version of a particular log file via email – as an attachment – and I had no idea where to start. In other words, I wanted to have an email sent to me, with an …
Okay – these are dumb ‘ol Guy’s random notes and maybe there’s a better way to all of this stuff. But this worked just fine, for me. First of all, go to System > Administration > Add/Remove Software and add the YUM repositories. Then just do the following: yum install vlc There’s a major issue …

So I couldn’t get KTorrent to connect to Demonoid and became quite testy. And, just for the record, it’s apparently a Demonoid thing because torrents tracked elsewhere worked fine – I know that some of these tracker sites block certain bit torrent client programs (for reasons I do not understand). Anyway, in desperation I compiled …

This is a jumble, at the moment – just some random observations from a rank beginner…..I’ll clean it up later. This presumes you’ve just installed Windows Server 2003 on your computer… Set a static IP manually – if you don’t, when you add the Active Directory role your box will be assigned a static IP …
