Here's the gist. Get linux on your 6 gig hard drive in whatever way
possible. Make a boot partition on your 16 gig hard drive and make sure
that all of it is below 1024 cylinders. Mount your boot partition on
/boot. Then make a copy of your /etc/lilo.conf file for reference.
Change it to
boot=/dev/fd0 #booting from floppy
root=<root partition on 6 gig hd>
prompt
delay 100 #pause 10 seconds
default=linux
image=/boot/<kernel image>
label=linux
If you run 'lilo', this will make a boot floppy. The actual reading time
from the floppy will be less than a second so it's not an inconvenience.
I've never overwritten my mbr so if someone else wants to elaborate on
that subject, go ahead.

Subject: Kernel compilation trouble
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 13:49:23 -0600
I'm having trouble compiling a new 2.2.1 kernel. I use tar xzvf
linux-2.2.1 to unpack it, and everything seems to be in the right
place. I do make config, make dep, and make clean, then make zImage.
It goes all right for quite a while, then this is the last part of the
output:
make [3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/drivers/net'
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/drivers/net'
make -C misc
make [1]: *** [_subdir_misc] Segmentation fault
make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2
and then it goes back to the prompt. The directory
/usr/src/drivers/misc is there, and it has Makefile and some .c or .h
files in it.
Please help.

I had the same problem. I solved it by removing /usr/include/sys/acct.h and
recompiling the psacct package. Apparently <sys/acct.h> is more broken than
<linux/acct.h>.

The 'info' I question is that there is an undocumented user-mode processor
reset instruction in the x86 family from 286 through Pentium-III. I
believe that things like OS/2 1.x quiet resets are done through the
keyboard controller, fast reset, or multiple faults. All of which are
preventable by a protected mode OS if it so chooses. Basically I believe
an OS can prevent a quiet reset if it wants to, OS/2 and Win9x may choose
not to do so for compatibility reasons.
I don't question the exisitence of undocumented instruction like loadall
that come and go.

The way to start a process properly on most Linux systems is to use the rc
script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. Hence /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start.
The actual binary is usually called /usr/sbin/named
Also note that you may have BIND 8 instead of BIND 4 now in which case
/etc/named.conf replaces /etc/named.boot and has a different format.

Get an external modem. You dont have to worry about it being a win
modem, there is no PnP compatibility to deal with, and you can reset the
modem without restarting the system. The lights come in handy when
troubleshooting too.

Nah. I've posted to the kernel mailing list. I'll see what anyone has to
say. I think there are problems with the sound code. Oh, well. It's a new
kernel. There are kinks to be worked out (though why there weren't worked
out in 2.1 is beyond me).

Hi I'm not sure what I'm looking at... I'm hopeing it's not really a virus
come back to haunt my dos drive...
I'm running a dual boot dos/slackware 3.5 system... Dos used to be MS-DOS
v6.2 But I reciently switched to DR-DOS 7.02 from CD...
I don't go online with windows. But some time ago, I was running the dos
internet access program called nettamer on ultranet, when I suddenly had
a series of error messages that said something about illeagal function
5 or something like that... right after that an Eval copy of McFee said
I had something called anti.exe virus... Which alarmed me because I once
saw the widows 95 virsion of McFee offer to clean a floppy it claimed had
that in the boot sector or record, and the results was a disk that instantl=
y
caused a devide by zero error in any dos system it touched. And an unballan=
ced
system on any win-95 system it touched... SO anyway I didn't want to risk
that on my C: drive
(this was before I'd even heard of linux but it may be relevant...
so please bear with me...)=20
What I did was to get my msdos 6.0 installation disks, and my msdos 6.2
upgrade disks out with the intention of trying a reinstall... I didn't even
to do the whole thing. all I had to do was let it start, when it complained
that it didn't recomend replacing dos 6.2 with 6.0 (or something like that)
I cancled the install, but it had rewritten the boot record or something
which, when I reran McFee my system was clean...
reciently I replaced msdos on /dev/hda1 with caldera's Dr-Dos from CD-rom.
I havn't done much with it yet. I spend most of my PC time trying to learn
linux. But the other day I brought a floppy to a win NT machine which spat
out that nasty anti.exe word at me... I cancled and brought the disk home.=
=20
I looked at my floppies with ls and every one that has been accessed by
dos since I've been running dr-dos looks like this:

An interesting note, that last one being the McFee eval copy, which was
a brand new blank disk which I used the windos prompt of a win 95 machine
to copy the McFee files and has had the write protect tab in protect mode
ever since. It said my C:drive was clean, but it claimed to have anti-exe

And any floppy I let dos do so much as a dir on that isn't write protected

Hmm. What's the purpose of /usr/tmp, then? Certainly a tmp directory
doesn't sound like something that should be read-only. This is an honest
question, though...does anything notable actually use /usr/tmp? On my system
(Slackware 3.5), /usr/tmp is just a link to /var/tmp anyway.

I've had problems of my own with Red Hat 5.1...
However, I turned to SuSE 5.3 (v6.0 is out, now) and had NO problems.
I'm not suggesting that you should switch, there's very likely a solution
from Red Hat. Probably.
BTW: Red Hat (or any*) Linux over the net is free (except for online and
download time so it is hardly free as such) and rudimentary distributions
can be found for $2. But you're right, you still get what you pay for. You
might want a real Unix instead.
Go SuSE! Red Hat is overrated claptrap.

I just had an explanation from the kernel mailing list. This is normal
behaviour until its unexported, the procedure below works.
1. umount /cdrom on the remote machine.
2. kexportfs -u <host>:/cdrom on the local machine, see man exports.
3. umount /cdrom on the local machine.

Hi!
I thought Linux is stable... until I got that error message:
Everytime - or nearly everytime - I umount my ZIP drive
connected to the parallel port, I get a print-out of all
processor registers introduced by the word "Oops!".
After this, I have to reboot to reuse my ZIP-drive.
I call it "unstable" because the error message does not come
up immediately, but after working normally for a few minutes.
I am using the 2.0.32 kernel.
Who knows this problem? Or even a solution?
Please also answer via email, thank you,
Daniel

Look at the "Changes" file that comes with the kernel source. It says that you have
to upgrade xosview to a specefied version number. Once I did that
Xosview worked fine for me.

Thanks. I checked the source code of the accounting utilities and ChangeLog of
version 6.3.4 says:
* configure.in: changed the order in which configure looks for the
acct.h file from sys->linux to linux->sys. This will help out the
linux 2.1.xx folks use the newer definitions. Also incremented
but he went back again in version 6.3.5:
* configure.in: reverted below (Note: which is now the above) change to
acct.h search.
A few more questions.
1. Can removing of /usr/include/sys/acct.h affect compilation of
other packages?
2. Did you have symlink /usr/include/linux->
kernel-source-2.2.2/include/linux?
3. To compile kernels 2.0 we needed to make symlinks
/usr/include/{asm,linux,scsi}->kernel-source/include/{asm,linux,scsi}. This
step is not present in the instructions for 2.2 kernels. Can somebody explain
why (this could go somewhere in kernel documentation)?

Hosting Foreign Web Sites ?
I am looking to host Japanese, Chinese and Korean on our servers ( Redhat 5.1,
and Apache ) When a test page we made in Japanese is viewed with a language
utility it works fine, but if the person surfing has a Japanese OS they don't
see it correctly.
Is there something I have to do on the Linux/apachce side ? and if so does
anyone have any links to "how to's"
Thanks !

try strings -a ./python | more ... here is the first line of a
glibc binary ...
/lib/ld-linux.so.2
... and for a libc5 binary ...
/lib/ld-linux.so.1
... say you might have a wrong binary; ldd ought to be helpful too
if it is not a statically linked one.
