Had a similar problem, and found an easy yet embarrassing solution. First,
check to make sure the cabling is attached correctly. Next, make sure your
CD-Rom and Harddrive are jumpered properly to work together with the HD as
Master, and the CD-Rom as Slave. I've experienced both these problems, and
either one will hose you off the bat. I am now running RH5.2, and loving it.
Good luck.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. You'd need to run some
software
to actuallyt _send_ people this serial number so if you object, just don't
run
that software. This isn't any way for people to jut grab it from your
machine you know.

This page has most of the info you need. The newer kernal versions will
support fat32, but the kernal has to be configured to read a fat32 file
system.

Why on Earth not? I wrote my Ph.D thesis with vi and LaTeX. Turned out
very well indeed and with far fewer errors than you would have found had
I used something ghastly like Word. I see so much aggro for people trying
to write large documents under Word I cannot possibly recommend anyone uses
it for anything more than the odd letter to the bank. I bought Applix for
my wife to use for club secretarial work but again I wouldn't consider using
that for a large project.
I use Linux for everything and have done since early '95.

You can't expect anybody out of your intranet to reach your servers if
they are in a private network like 192.168.X.X; and you cannot use
public IP's unless you pay for them.
However, you can use xinetd to redirect external calls to your Linux
firewall to your NT servers. This way, only your proxy can be reached,
requests are serviced by your NT servers. From out of your network,
people will see 3 web servers at the same public IP (on different
ports), but each one will be of the NT servers.
I hope this helps.

Oh? So the said user just *accidentally* types in
IEXPLORE.EXE
and the web browser starts up?
Oh? They clicked an icon? Then why are you comparing this to the
UNIX shells (I'll take any UNIX shell over DOS any day)?
You haven't used Linux in the last couple years, have you. (and UNIX
doesn't automatically assume that people are so stupid to *not*
understand such "cryptic" commands like cp and mv)

Sed and awk are available for Windows as well.
Does this mean you still don't know Windows?
I love Microsoft advoacte logic:
"Windows is easier because it doesn't come with any powerful tools."
Do you realize how insane this sounds to us?

Sorry I'm breaking in to this OLD conversation, but I did this and my
bootdisk for DOS still doesn't recognize the C: drive. I set my
partitions correctly (I think) one of them is DOS 16 >=32. When I boot
from a floppy for DOS, it not only won't install my CD Rom Driver, but
it won't even recognize the C: drive. I think the problem is in the boot
disk for DOS. But I'm not sure. I've been trying to edit the problem out
in my autoexec.bat (the problem of the CD ROM anyway) but it hasn't
worked yet.
Any ideas?

Subject: Linux Internet Cafe idea
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 13:03:48 GMT
Hi all,
I am setting out on a venture to start an Internet Cafe in the UK based
solely on a Linux environment. I need some help with developing the client
systems and also with the server. Basically, I do not want to use any MS
products, and am very very new to the Linux scene. I would greatly
appreciate any help...
For the client PC's, I would like to know which distribution to use. What I
would like is for the PC to boot straight into xwindows, with a locked desktop
allowing access to software only on the desktop - Netscape, StarOffice 5.0 or
Corel WordPerfect 8.0 (undecided as yet - waiting for reviews to complete) I
would also like to disable telnet and root access.
For the Server, agian I would like to know which would be the best
distribution to use. I want to use an ISDN 128k line which will kick in when
a user launches Netscape and has an idle disconnect time which we can modify
as and when required. I would also like to use IP Masquerading, a virus
scanner, a firewall, and a proxy server thru which we can ban illegal sites.
I also need advice on what kind of network to implement - 10baseT, 10/100 or
Token Ring, and also where I can get my hands on monitor+keyboard+mouse
extenders from.
I am very very low on money for this venture, so no consultants advertising
please! As much as I'd like to - I can't afford it at the moment!
Look forward to the e-mails!

Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 04:32:58 -0800
I decided to go back to gnu.org and read some of the webpage again after
flipping through this thread, and following a link from it that
eventually got me there. I ran into this page, which pretty much closes
the case on what the *real* goals of the FSF are....Its too bad Linux is
so linked to this foundation, I do like it better then FBSD.
Here is the offensive page for you to view.....
http://www.gnu.org/testimonials/testimonials.html
And if you don't want to hear it from the horse's mouth, here is a
shorter version...
Its a testimonials page, it simply put, states that these testimonials
have been edited so that they will not mention certain proprietery
software. The reason? Well, because FSF has so much distain for
proprietery software that they cannot talk about it because talking
about it causes us to want to buy it....yet they want to toss around big
names (names which use GNU software to make money...an obviosly capitol
offence) so they didn't simply not put in the testimonial. I mean
fuck,...were the hell does this foundation stand????? Please, inform me
because I haven't the slightest clue anymore.
They are obviously extreeme, probably simply for the purpose of being
extreeme....not for any ideal, and definately not any ideal I want any
part of. I believe in free software....FSF is not about freedom.
I personally find this extreemly offensive and will NOT contribute
anything to this foundation. Especially not my code, or my name by
GPLing ANYTHING. Course, I am not saying people who GPL thier software
are bad, just that they may be linking themselves to a group, which
talks about nice ideals,....but really believes in anything but freedom,
or the ideals to which it preaches so adamantly.
And to think, before the KDE incident, I would have defended the GPL,
and the FSF, if anyone spoke the slightest word against it.

This is a function of your window manager. Recent versions of FVWM2
can do this with the FvwmRearrange module. I'd be surprised if other
window managers (e.g. AfterStep, WindowMaker, Enlightenment) didn't
have similar functionality.

1 Ghz to achieve 1 BIP. Big deal. An Alpha 21164 can do 2 BIPS at 500Mhz.
Even for pure integer code I find a 500Mhz Alpha to be twice as fast as the
same clock Intel. The new '264 processor is reputed to be twice as quick
again for the same clock although I can't confirm this yet because they
are hard to get hold of.
This whole race to achieve the highest clock speed is meaningless if the
processor in question can't do as much work per cycle as another slower
but more efficient chip.
You want real performance? Alphas are currently being mass produced at
667Mhz.
