Indeed. If it doesn't (many don't, mine certainly doesn't) you
might want something like:
----- box (Linux)
|
cable ------ Linux[1] ------ Hub --- box (Win)
modem |
----- box (Win)
[1] - NAT + firewall of some kind (doesn't have to be Linux, could be
*BSD); hardware requirements are minimal

Which version of TurboLinux are you using? If you installed using one
of the predefined packages such as 'basic system', you did not drag in
XFree86 and that is why you did not get any of the GUI. If you have
enough disk space, try 'Everything', or skip to 'Custom' if you think
you are familiar enough with the various packages. With 'Everything',
you get both KDE and Gnome either of which you can de-install later with
the 'turbopkg' tool. With the basic system (which I think you have
now), you can also bring up 'turbopkg' and add in the X stuff.

Do you have a network card or can beg/borrow from someone?
If you can network it to your desktop, and setup NFS, then the pcmcia.img
disk image should let
you install over the network cable.

Erh.. Does the Linux[1] box down there need 4 NIC then? one to cable modem,
one to hub and other two for two boxes.

Is there possibly a 3rd party utility which handles his. Under the mac
there is a product called, "Toast" which does handle this feature,
permiting the editing of ISO 9660 files. Not impossible, but difficult
I'd imagine.
The object of my request for info is to keep the bootstrap while
adding/changing files.

That will generate a PostScript file with the fonts embedded. Then:
ps2pdf file.ps
And file.pdf will look beautiful.

Hi, I'm using Redhat 6.2 with 1028x768 resolution monitor. I found the

The real question is how did you burn it onto the CD. Did you just take the
file and add it to a CD like you would normally burn a CD or did you actually
take the image file and use a product like WinGear, Nero or some other program
and actually specified that you had a image file to burn from, rather than
just placing the file on the CD ?
See ya

Subject: Problems with tar tape backups
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 16:07:54 -0600
Hi,
I am trying to make backups of our home directory, and I have tried it a number
of times by simply running
mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
tar -cvpf /dev/st0 --label=" tape1 (home1,extra3) backup created on `date
'+%d-%B-%Y'`." /home
The problem is that at some point, the backup crashes with a message:
tar: Cannot write to /dev/st0: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
It crashes at different files almost every time (sometimes close to the
beginning sometimes almost at the end) and sometimes it succeeds (but very
rarely, just once in fact).
The home is about 5 gigs big. Should I try to make changes in some other options
of tar like block size or anything else to get this to work? What may be the
problem? Can it be a problem when the particular file that is being written to
the tape is modified as it is being written or anything like that? Thanks for
your help!

Take a look at your syslog and see if there are hardware errors during
the backup.

I use
Helvetica (Adobe) 14 point for variable width font and
Courier (Adobe) 14 point for fixed width font.
I also tell Netscape to use my default fonts, overriding
document-specified fonts. This is adequate, though not wonderful.

This is the right one if you set up firewall capability on the Linux
box. The cable modem probably has no firewall capability. This requires
two NICs in the Linux box.
If you don't want to make the Linux box a firewall, then you could
do this:
cable modem ---- FW Box --- Hub --- Windows
|
*----- Linux
Where "FW Box" could be an off-the-shelf firewall/router ($99).
They're generally easy to configure. Or use a spare 486 with
Linux on it configured for firewall/routing.
I highly recommend having a firewall somewhere if you don't
want to get hacked easily.

Well last time I ran stock RH 6.2 it came with XFree86 3.3.6 or something
like that. What you need to do is to install a program called xfstt. It is
a truetype font rendering server for X. It makes fonts look as beautiful as
fonts in windoze or MacOS.
Try finding a tarball or .rpm on freshmeat.net and follow the instructions
there, its not hard. I've done it a lot of times because I really hate
those non-scalable "fonts" that come with X.
Also. You must have some ttf fonts available to the system. If you have a
windoze box try searching in \windows\fonts (correct ?)
