It was very stable. One more than one occasion, I upgraded from one
minor version of the OS to a newer one on a running system (serving
web content). I'd start a "make world" at 1am or so, wake up at
6-7am to make sure it was finished, then simply reboot in the morning.
The whole time, the machine continued to serve its content.
I'm sure many people wouldn't want or use such a feature, but it made
it very painless to track the development tree and to compile every
system binary just like you wanted. There is a mechanism to add your
custom apps to the automatic build. It's been a while for me so perhaps
a person more familiar with FreeBSD can comment.
Regards,
Chris

Subject: Accessing same HD by Linux & WinNT
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 12:26:37 GMT
I have Linux installed on a 340 mb HD in an old 486 box. My NT 4.0 box,
which hosts a peer-to-peer network, has an extra 3.8 gb that I would like to
partition equally between NTFS, FAT, and EXT2 partitions.
Primarily, I wish to store Linux executables on the EXT2 partition, as an
extension to the Linux box. I'm not talking about dual booting between OS's
here. The idea is to enable simultaneous access of the same HD by different
OS's.
Am I asking for trouble?

Hmm, maybe an ICA<->X bridge instead? Seems to me it would be a far

Assuming (danger!) you're correct that ICA is better/more efficient

You can specify which is the default by adding the line
'default=(whatever the name you want to be default)' to your
/etc/lilo.conf. To add more time, change the number on the line
'timeout = x" to whatever you want. Or the easy way to do both of these
is to run linuxconf and go to the boot loader section.

Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 17:29:23 GMT
Hi Sean.
TeleUSE 3.2 runs on Red Hat Linux 5.x and supports Red Hat Motif 2.1.0.
3.2 also runs on HP-UX 11 and AIX 4.3, which also have Motif 2.1.0.
The soon-to-be-released TeleUSE 3.2.1 runs on Solaris 7, which has Motif
2.1.0. TeleUSE on IRIX 6.5.1 supports Motif 1.2.x.
TeleUSE/Win has been out for at a least a couple of years now.
It lets you develop/port and run Motif-based apps on Windows 95/98/NT.
TeleUSE/Win 3.2 comes shipped with the Exceed 6.1 X server.
The soon-to-be-released TeleUSE/Win 3.2.1 will come shipped with
a Windows port of KL Group's XRT Volume 13 widgets.

Hi Steven,
This may sound obvious and I am sure you have thought about it but why not
just use Samba and mount the volume on the Linux box using an NT share ?
If your talking about sharing the HDD across one physical bus then I
wouldn't be sure that it is possible without some proprietary hardware
involved and that would obviously be expensive. I can think of any solution
that wouldn't use SCSI or FC-AL and be provided by some-one like your
DEC/EMC/IBM/BoxHill's of this world.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sports fans,
I tried to install Star Office on a Linux 5.0 box here at work. The
install noted that it needed a later version of a library and supplied
that library for installation. I attempted an install and the box now
hangs with part way through the boot process. Up till this point the
small part of the boot process it gets through appears normal. Of
course, I've forgotten where my rescue disk is.
Last few lines of the boot:
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 as scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Trying to umount old root ... okay
It sits and stares after that point.
I'm probably going to upgrade to RH 5.2, but this piques my curiosity.
Any ideas?

I just split a disk between Win98 and Linux, (using the MaxBlast that came
with the Maxtor drive. It created the first partition for Win98, and an
extended
partion for the rest of the drive. Linux fdisk could not see the extended

You are absolutely right! The documentation for autofs does indicate that
it will mount smbfs shares. I guess I missed that the first time through
the documentation. Thanks.
I turned the autofs utility back on, setup the auto.* files according to all
of the examples I've researched, and restarted autofs. After many tries
last evening, I still can't get it to work.
I guess if I bang my head against the wall a little harder, I might have
some success.

Rule of thumb that I've discerned from reading similar posts: ONLY use
MS fdisk (or Partition Magic) to create and delete Windows partitions,
ONLY use Linux fdisk to create and delete Linux partitions. In your
case, try deleting the extended partition and re-creating it with Linux
fdisk.

Yes, I am successfully using samba for basic file sharing, but I don't
really care for the FTP like interface. So, I'm also using smbfs and
struggling to get autofs to deal with my WinNT shares. But that's another
story.
Will samba support running Linux executables residing on FAT and/or NTFS
partitions?

Just wondering, is PostgreSQL overkill for a single user to keep track of
addresses and a few other small databases (i.e. nothing more than about 300
records...at least, not yet). Keep in mind I want to stay in CONSOLE MODE.
Also, I asked this once before and was shocked at the answer, so I'm going
to ask it again:
Are there no wordprocessing packages for console mode Linux? (something like
Wordstar or WordPerfect for DOS).
And I'm aware of DOSEMU, but would really like something native to Linux (or
a unice, anyways). The freedom and speed of the small console wordpro seems
like it would be compromised and convoluted by having to run DOSEMU first.
Feel free to call me a bonehead and straighten me out, though! :)
Cheers,
-- Martin

Yup. If anyone else is having this problem, it was in bin86-0.4-5.i386.rpm.
Thanks, everyone.

Perhaps you cannot read the newsgroups title, *.linux.*. I know that a properly
configured Linux box will not crash, and I think I speak for most here -- I
don't care what NT does, I read this ng for linux info.
