This is a long process so if you want to find out how to do it grab a comfy
seat and read on.
Because Windows is the dumb OS that it is it wants to be the primary OS so
you have to set it that it isnt.
When you Partition your harddrive you have to make one primary partition (
usually dependant on what os is to be installed but ill refer to the three
os question in this newsgroup) (Partition size would be about 6 GB) this is
how it would be set out:
-------------------------30GB--------------
========
| |
|
Primary Extended
Extended
2GB 2GB
2GB
Windows2000 Linux Redhat
Windows 98
No Extra Partitioning Partitioned into
No Extra
two separate
drives one
1.8GB
(logical
partition)
and another
200mb
(logical
partition)
1.8GB is the
OS and
200mb is
the swap file
Ok well setup your partitons to look like that. it should take you quite a
time to do all of this. well then once you have done this you need to
install one fo the windows opperations systems on the 2Gb partiton. onbce
you have done this it is best to configure it properly and get it fully
running. once you have deon this you will need to run the redhat setup
(during bootup if you want or in windows). you will have to install it to
the 1.8GB partiton.Now about the boot sequence. Linux has a very special
tool calles boot manager. this allows you to have a multi boot machine. so
just install it ad you will be able to boot from any of the three OS's.
As for having to create two other separate harddrives for windows gear and
linux gear why not just put it all in the one drive? (24GB) linux in unique
in the fact that it can allso read and write in FAT32 aswell as Ext2.thisway
your OS's can all share the same storage drive and not have any conflicts.
Well hope you got the idea!
Any further help needed?

Try seagate ST-02 driver from standard kernel:
Here is a quote from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help
Seagate ST-02 and Future Domain TMC-8xx SCSI support
CONFIG_SCSI_SEAGATE
These are 8-bit SCSI controllers; the ST-01 is also supported by
this driver. It is explained in section 3.9 of the SCSI-HOWTO,
available via FTP (user: anonymous) at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. If it doesn't work out
of the box, you may have to change some settings in
drivers/scsi/seagate.h.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called seagate.o. If you want to compile it as a
module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
: And, of course, where i can get it ;-)
Only place, where one gets linux drivers, is the linux kernel source.
Drivers from any other places is unapproved by Linus Torvalds,
and binary-only drivers from hardware vendors should be considered trojans.

Sorry, I should make it exactly the same as real code.
next = (prev->next_run ==
&init_task)?&init_task.next_run:prev->next_run;
And, the kernel is 2.2.17.
You mean, the next_run sequence in run_queue ends with NULL?

Thanks, Andi.
But from the code from line 390 to line 404 in kernel/sched.c of kernel
2.2.17.
It seem the queue is organized as a circular queue, right?
I can't see why ->next_run ends with NULL from sched.c.

But would anyone actually say that in conversational English?
What exactly would that mean? English with French translation? Whole books

Simarlarly "C/C++" could mean several things, including that the person
using it is confused by marketing.

Hello,
I've got jsdk 1.2.2 and I develop distributed applications
with CORBA in JAVA, so I need tool which will convert from IDL to JAVA.
I know that "idltojava" is what I need, but I can't find it anywhere.
I found "idlj" from jdk1.3 (similar to idltojava); I can compile my
programs, but client part doesn't work with jdk1.2.2;
I've received exceptions while running client - name server and server
work quite well.

I am not sure if these are the appropriate groups, and I apologise
if not.
I am currently updating msntp, and discover that adjtime does not
work on my system (2.0.36 on Intel) - it stores the adjustment
correctly, rejects a second one within too short a time, but does
NOT update the clock. This isn't made better by the fact that
"Unix 2000" does not have an equivalent function :-(
Now, my point isn't that I want a fix, but I am wondering if
anyone knows how pervasive this is, and whether I should say that
adjtime should be disabled for Linux in the Makefile.

I'm not familiar with Mac Toolbox, so I'm not sure exactly what functionality
you're looking for. If you're trying to graph chunks of data, check out
gnuplot. If you just want to do graphics work, use gimp.

Subject: Kernel 2.4.0-test7, 8, and 9 "Warning pasting would not give a valid
preprocessing token" ?
Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 16:10:26 -0500
During the compilation phase of a kernel 2.4.0-test7, 8, and 9, I see a lot
of these messages, more than normal. What does it mean?
"Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token". Each time I
see the message it is proceeded by the following,
bnode.c,inode.c,auth.c,netfilter.c,partition.c,sched.c,proc.c etc etc. My
kernel is still functional after install and bootup.
The warning messages repeat several times, then moves on, for example:
bnode.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
bnode.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
bnode.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
bnode.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
bnode.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
bnode.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
netfilter.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
netfilter.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
netfilter.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
netfilter.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
netfilter.c:Warning pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
Etc Etc. The number of times varies!
I am ccurrently running Red Hat 7.0
I did notice these messages with Red hat 6.2, but I don't rememebr if it was
more frequent in Red Hat 7.0 or Red Hat 6.2.
Anyhow my kernel is completely monolithic except for the Adaptec AHA1480
Card Bus Card support. I only had the choice of Module support and not
built in driver support into the kernel.
Are these messages bad or what? And what can it do to a perfectly running
kernel? I have 2.4.0-Test-9, running fine.
