Hi,
I am new to Linux.
Have: Kernel 2.2.x, RH 6.1.
Problem: Nestcape begins with an error: "Could not allocate ColorMap entry
for default colors..." etc.
Thanks,
Also, Re: the 1024 cylinder barrier, someone had sent me this mail:
"A MUST READ for people stuck up with Linux installation due to harddisk
bigger than 4.3GB. I just came across a very interesting solution to the
1024 cylinders barrier, people face during Linux installation. It goes
something like this :
After installing Linux (don't forget to make a bootdisk during the
install.),
1) Boot the system in Linux using the bootdisk.
2) Mount the DOS partition (this should be within 1024 cylinders i.e.
4.3GB) as suppose /dos.
3) Move the /boot to /dos/boot :
cp -a /boot /dos ; rm -r /boot
4) Create a symlink for LILO to find at boot.
ln -s /dos/boot /boot
5) Move kernel (i.e. /vmlinuz) to /boot/vmlinuz
mv /vmlinuz /boot
6) Edit /etc/lilo.conf to change /vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz
I think this should be it. This however can fail if you run Disk
Defragmenter on the DOS partition. To prevent against this see to it that
you keep the attributes of the linux kernel in the DOS partition as S+H+R
i.e. System + Hidden + Read-Only"
