Backup the w95 stuff and have a boot disk ready.
Have a list of your hardware including chipsets, particularly motherboard and
graphics card. Given a modern LX/BX mainboard and one of the popular graphics cards
you probably won't need these and you can boot right off the CD. If yours is a major
distribution (e.g. RedHat) go to their web site and find the hardware compatibility
list. Precheck against information in My Computer -> Hardware.
Understand the LILO and fdisk sections. LILO will let you dual boot and fdisk is the
thing that can erase data on existing partitions.
Basically you will be reformatting a larger partition for the os and a smaller one,
say 64MB, for swap (ala w95). These can be logical partitions.
Take notes in case you want to ask questions.

Subject: Re: Running LINUX under WIN NT?????
Another way is to install Windows NT services for Unix.
It's basically NFS for NT (mount and export functions) and worked correctly on both
sides of the house. If you don't know NT you might need an interpreter since it
looks and sets up like NT rather than UNIX. The other 'features' were garbage.

Having had to deal with this very problem today, I can appreciate your
frustration. You need to update rpm. FTP to rpm.redhat.com, cd to
pub/rpm/dist/rpm-2.5.x and get a version suitable for your system. I
got rpm-2.5.6-4.2.i386.rpm for the RH4.2 system I was on; fortunately
it wasn't packaged in data type 9. (RH4.2 is the earliest release for
which they have an rpm-2.5.x RPM package, but I think you can work with
that.)

I have an IDE controller (multi io) card I want to use as a secondary

I need to set it's IRQ to 15 and Port address to 170h - 177h
The problem is I don't know what the jumper settings are. Can anyone help ?
The card has UMC controller chips on it, it has parallel, serial, game,

jp2 xx.
jp3 xx.
jp4 xx.
jp5 xx.

If using LILO to boot, you might try "linux init=/bin/sh" at the
boot prompt. You'll probably have to remount the root filesystem
read-write before you can actually fix anything.
/bin/mount -n -o remount,rw /

These cards aren't compatible with linux according to SMC. I had the SMC EZ
Card 10/100 until I found that out then I changed to the next cheapest model
a Linksys and it has treated me good so far. Good advice look very carefully
on the box when you buy it to see if Linux is supported by the card in my
experience many of the ethernet cards that support Linux mention it on the
box (unfortunately some that don't say they do as well).

BTW, for those of you who don't want to toss a CD drive on an old machine,
but do have a second computer on the home network, you might want to setup
the 'main' computer with FTP (I use War FTP
(http://www.jgaa.com/tftpd.htm) on my NT box), and download the relivant
stuff locally. I've installed 2 FBSD boxes this way, and it was a
life-saver! Also, you'll want to use a good ftp client such as ncftp. You
will also want to find out what parts of the ftp distribution you can do
without. For example, my FBSD 2.2.7 directory only contains
bin
compat*
des
dict
doc
floppies
info
manpages
packages/all
src (which you don't need)
Xf86332 (which you also don't need)
One last caveat; you will want to make your ftp server look like a real
mirror; for FBSD this means that those subdirectories are contained in
/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.7-RELEASE
If you don't do that, the install program won't find it.
Moo!

Sounds like hardware/driver problems. X Windows does not hang on my system.
Some accomadations have to be made since Linux does not have good drivers
for everything.

Than what? Than windows??!!! If you mean less descriptive error messages

A long way to go to be usable by software engineers? I've been happily
using it as my desktop plaform for 4 years, and I'm certainly no software
engineer.

As you may or may not know. Yesterday (Monday) was Windows refund day.
There's a clause in the Microsoft Licence (EULA) that say's if you
don't want the Windows that comes pre-installed on your PC you can
take it back to your vendor for a refund. Unfortunately most vendors
don't honour this and many people don't get their money back. Windows
refund day was an effort for everyone who didn't want a copy of
Windows to take mass action and show to the world that this licence
wasn't being followed.

Jumpers? Chipsets don't have jumpers. Chipsets don't need no stinkin' jumpers.
CPU's and busses have jumpers.

The CPU is a poor heat dissipater but a very good heat generator, so advanced cooling
mechanisms are a part of the overclocker's MagicBag of Tricks. Satan himself
supplies the MagicBag on request and it is quite impossible to resist once opened.

Nonsense. They don't 'electromigrate' or burst into flame or anything else evil
except trash a few bits on disk and crash if pushed beyond spec. There's a lot of
room between 'standard' and spec limits. Besides, I already told you about the
MagicBag. If you have the Bag see, you get away with all sorts of things common
mortals don't even want to know about let alone try.
Try www.tomshardware.com for a primer. Tom has a MagicBag too.

Subject: isapnp internal modem: funfunfun
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 03:27:10 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm running RedHat Linux 5.1, dual boot with Win 95.
I've got an ESS ES56V-X Data Fax Voice Modem which insists on
installing to COM 4, IRQ 11, address 2E8 on the windows side, where
it works fine. I'm pretty sure this isn't a winmodem (someone kick
my ass if so). I can't for the life of me get it to work with COM2.
Linux recognizes the board, but I've had no luck in using it. I'm
including system information from setserial -a and isapnp below.
Things I've tried:
Just about every variation on setting cua1 and cua3 to irq 11 or 3.
Booting with loadlin -- the setup screen apparently believes that
irq 3 is the only one conceivable for any self-respecting modem (i
must say, i'm inclined to agree). In any case, this does no good.
I've tried talking to the modem with minicom; I fire it up, type 'AT'
and nothing happens. Never having seen a successful use of minicom,
I really don't know what to expect, but I think *something* would be
nice. When I try for a ppp connection I get a cryptic error message
(see below).
If anyone has any tips for how you've gotten something like this to
work, PLEASE pass them on; I will be forever in your debt. I had a
dream last night that I finally got my modem to work with Linux...
you can't imagine the disappointment when I woke to reality... :-(
