- Hi and kudos to all Linuxers!
- I have few questions regarding Linux and lots of thanks
- for it (system).
- 1) Why can't I use *effectivelly* setterm as regular user?
- I've set it suid!
- 2) (did ask it before but no answer...) Why does (re)nice
- in top seem to work au reverse (ie renicing the process
- -19 seemes to speed it up, +14 slows it a lot)
- 3)What do the options to fsck mean? I couldn't find a man
- page for it and one on *this* (university) system is
- inapropiate.
- My system is 0.96cpl2 with new setterm and ps-0.96c1
- package.
-
- Once again thanks!
- Rafal
