You don't really need to backup your hard drive, but you can use a tape drive
and ftape if you want. An easier way to upgrade your hard drive capacity would be
to read the Hard Disk Upgrade Mini How-To, which should have all of the relevant
information.

Subject: Linux Windows Connectivity
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 07:16:29 +1000
Hi everybody,
I have a dual boot Linux(redhat)/Win95 machine connected to another
win95 machine using samba.
I can see my win95 machine from my Linux machine (using smbclient
\\\\<name of machine>\\<shared drive>), and I can telnet from the win95
machine as the two users I have created in Linux (ben and candice) and
once there can login as SU. Problems arise however, when I try to map
drives from the win95 machine.
I can see my Linux machine from my win95 machine, but can only map a
drive using Ben's password. I cannot map Candice's drive using her
password, and I cannot map *anything* using the root password.
It seems that only Ben's password works. The passwd file is garbled so
that can't be edited or checked (though you'd think if I could telnet
using the correct passwords, then they must be OK).
I have set up shares in the smb.conf file for [root] and [candice] (and
some others) but cannot map them if the user Ben doesn't have access to
that share.
I have temporarily given Ben full read/write ability with a line
(something like) "admin user = Ben" in a [sysadmin] share.
At the bottom of this page I have included a copy of my smb.conf
Q/ Can anyone help me out with this one.
Also.... my vision for the future for my home network is to have two
win95 machines (not a big aspiration heh) networked with a dedicated
Linux file server (I need the win95 machines for the programs I use).
The Linux file server would also be the machine that dials into my ISP.
The two win95 machines can then access the internet using the Linux box
as a firewall/proxy server.
Q/ Can anyone please let me know which help documentation covers this
very process.
Cheers
Ben

hello,
The linux red hat 5.2 installation is not successful on a 2GB jaz disk.
After formatting the swap partition, when it is written 'installin ext2 on
sda6', the following happens :
- black screen with numbers scrolling
or
- nothing (the screen remains the same, and the drive runs no more, so i
have to reset)
or
- 'kernel panic' message
do you have any idea ?
thanks

Nope, his computer is "physically" at the address allocated to
him as long as he is connected, so he doesn't need to register
anything on his system.
I log into my machine at home when my wife sends me e-mail,
using the IP addy attached to the e-mail!
Regarding the dynamically set up webpage,
I suppose safety would be insured by having ppp_off go
and change the page to say "sorry, I'm not connected!"
Try it yourself -- connect to the net, then telnet to your
dynamic IP address. magic! I don't know if the ppp daemon
is handing this or what -- but you are "at" the dynamic IP
address. Your machine is known to the world as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,
good reason for running tcp-wrappers! Set up hosts.allow
and hosts.deny and deny yourself access! It's fun and educational!
If you grok the network gymnastics that make this work, it would
be nice to post the explanation to comp.os.linux.setup. I don't
know TCP-IP well enough to explain it correctly.
Maybe I'm not being clear about the fact that my method
does not support his having a real NIC name, all it does
is bounce a connection to, for example:
http://www.myisp.net/~myhomepage/index.html
to:
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80/~myhomepage/index.html
All services on all your local machine's ports are
seen worldwide at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XX.
If, however, you get a free account at, say, linuxbox.com,
and your account gives you a location such as:
http://mystuff.linuxbox.com
then placing the index.html page at that location with
the <meta> bounce will make it work just the way what's
his name wanted it to.

Subject: Problem with Tarring while installing StarOffice
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 00:20:20 +0800
Hi,
I downloaded StarOffice 5.0 in four parts : so501_01.tar.1,
so501_01.tar.2, so501_01.tar.3 and so501_01.tar.4. I managed to untar
them separately successfully. I even managed to install StarOffice.
However, I could not lauch StarOffice because of missing files.
I realised that there were three files which were split between the
achives and therefore did not get fully decompressed.
For example, at the end of untarring so501_01.tar.1, I get the message,
"unexpected EOF". When I begin untarring so501_01.tar.2, I get the msg
"hmmm, this doesn't look like a tar achive" and then skips to the next
file. Thus, the files which straddle across two tar files are not
extracted fully. I have read the man tar pages but nothing seemed to
work. I downloaded my StarOffice from
"ftp://narnia.mit.edu/pub/StarOffice/unxlnxi/01_by_parts/"
I have only been using Linux for five days and am using RedHat 5.2. Can
anybody familiar with installing StarOffice or with using tar help me
with this problem?
Thanx and pls email a copy of the reply to me.

Hmm.
Thus, an XOR of two copyrighted works is, itself, a violation of both
copyrights, even though there's probably no way to extract either of them
from it without knowing what it is.
Spooky.

My two-cents. Maybe I am antiquated, I do not know. I use linload. I set

Do somebody help me, please? KDE is a very nice

I have such a setup - and at one stage had LILO in the root of the
linux partition with the boot manager from partition magic invoking it
or windows. But what I do now is use loadlin (I have a general
problem installing LILO on my hardware, and this works as easily)
putting it and the kernel in a directory on the win98 'C' drive, and a
simple win98 config.sys menu:
Start config.sys with
SWITCHES=/F

menuitem=LNX, Linux
menudefault=W98,3
[LNX]
SET LX=1
[W98]
then whatever win 98 items you need - which will be bypassed when
booting linux, and in autoexec.bat start with
@ECHO OFF
IF "%LX%"=="" GOTO WINBOOT
CLS
C:\loadlin\loadlin.exe <parameters as needed>
:WINBOOT
followed again by windows items as needed
which will clear the screen and call the loadlin loader
Contrary to some recipes it does *not* need a BootGUI=0 or Logo=0
setting in windows - unless, of course, you prefer that anyway

Hi !!!
I upgrade my redhat 5.1 (kernel 2.0.34 on a PII 300 box)
system to a v2.2.2 kernel. Le console terminal seems to be freeze. I
can't logon at the console. I must telnet the machine to get in.
What's the problem !!!
There was no problem with 2.0.34 kernel.
Thanks a lot !!
Regards,
APPANAH Ravi.
