Re: Duplicating installed system

2002-02-03 Thread Magnus Hacker



fine. Again lilo complains about invalid /dev/hda1 (dos partition).
But
it can be mounted. So, I just commented out and ran lilo. No
complaints
now. But while booting it just stops and says,

  Kernel panic: I can't find a root and I want to scream.

Everything is there. Checked the /etc/fstab and all other places.


I guess the problem is that the root disk on the new system is
not on the same partition as it was on the old system. Either
the kernel itself knows where the root fs is, and in that case
you have to tell it with rdev where it is, or you have to tell
it in lilo.conf.

The kernel has to know from where to mount root. /etc/fstab can't be
read before the root filesystem is mounted, so it has to be told
in another way (lilo.conf or rdev).

Just a quick note, has anyone know a program that can be easily setup that

If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a X server to
run on the Win9x machine? (You need this to display windows of
applications running on the linux machine).

I'd go for eXceed by Hummingbird Communications. It works really
good. They also make other products for integration of Windows and
UNIX, like NFS clients and servers for Windows.

Another choice might be Reflection, haven't tried it but have
heard good things about it. Don't know who makes it though.
