The only way I know to get Loadlin to work when you are in Win9X is to set
up a shortcut on the Windows desktop that points to a "Linux.bat" batch
file. The batch file runs Loadlin using the following syntax, for example:
============================================================================
=============
rem Sample DOS batch file to boot Linux with Loadlin.
rem First, ensure any unwritten disk buffers are flushed:
smartdrv /C
rem Start the LOADLIN process:
c:\loadlin c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hdd7 ro
============================================================================
============
Running this shortcut on my Win98 desktop shuts down Windows automatically,
and runs the Loadlin batch file that boots Linux. I click the icon (a
little penguin), get something to drink, and when I come back to the
computer I'm at a Linux login screen. BTW, I happen to like Loadlin better
than Lilo for this very reason.
This is an MS-DOS style shortcut which has some special setup requirements.
If you try this and have a problem let me know and I'll give you the
shortcut parameters I use.

Thanks to all that replied, but none of the solutions exactly fit my
needs. My fault, I didn't give you enough details as to what I needed.
Let me recap and maybe things will seem clearer. To those just picking
up on this thread, I wanted something similar to FreeAgent under Linux,
or some combination of tools that gives me similar functionality. What
I got back was two basic suggestions:
1) use some fetch utility (leafnode, INN, slrn) to suck back the news,
then read it offline
The problem with this is that I read newsgroups with LOTS of traffic
(this group being one of them). I would end up with 10% reading
material and 90% filler. Under FreeAgent, I transfer the stuff I want
to read from work to home on just one 1.44M floppy (compresses). I want
to be able to tag only the headers I want to download, not all of them.
2) run FreeAgent under Wine
Beautiful idea, I hadn't even considered this. However, my home machine
is a 486DX-25 laptop with 12MB of memory, and a 200MB harddisk. It
rocks in console mode, but X is painful. I would assume Wine is even
more painful on such a limited machine.
Sorry for bugging everyone, looks like I'm looking for an animal that
doesn't exist. Hope someone can prove me wrong. Cheers!

What kind of cable modem is it? Try checking your provider's web site as
there may be unsupported information and/or drivers for Linux (my provider
Adelphia had this). If it is an external cable modem, I believe that all
Linux needs to do is have a driver for you NIC, but I am not sure because I
have an internal phone return cable modem. As to the information about NAT
1000, first of all, it did not work at all with my cable modem, and second
of all it costs about $100 for every five users. IP Masquerading in Linux,
on the other hand, works like a charm and does not cost a dime.

No, /proc/<getpid()>/cmdline contains the program's commandline.
/proc/cmdline contains the commandline that the kernel was

I suspect that it looks at /proc/cmdline just so you can't run it

pthreads; the Linux implementation of pthreads uses clone() to do
kernel-level threading, and it sounds like SO is dealing with the
Linux libc-interface-of-the-week club by statically linking to as
much as they can. If they are statically linking, you should be
able to request a link-kit or dynamically linked version of their
code, which you can then link to a freeBSD-compatable pthreads
library.

Well, they could start by spending about $60 (?) on Rich Stevens'

What you can try, and I certaintly don't recommend this unless its your last
option.
If you destroy the fat32 parition, and then recreate it using the exact same
sector numbers, you can SOMETIMES totally recover the parition. As a matter
of fact, I just did this not to long ago (like 3 days ago with a linux
partition). If you format the 'free space' before re-assigning it a
partition name, you're screwed.

I picked up a D-Link DE-220PCT ethernet card, after checking that the
D-Link 220 was listed as supported by Linux in the Ethernet.HOWTO.
However, the pre-configured kernel for RedHat 5.2 doesn't see it, so
I guess it is a bit different -- its manual says it is NE-2000
compatible. It is, however, a Plug-n-Pray device, and Windows 95
recognizes it OK. Networking is enabled in the kernel, but I when
I load RH 5.2 and try to configure it as a NE-2000, it is not found.
Can anyone help me find a driver (kernel module) that will work?

Ted,
If you want fast and easy, just ask your cable provider for a
second IP address, then plug everything into a hub, setup the IP
addresses on your 2 machines and have fun!
If you want fast, educational and FUN, setup linux and
masquerading, the hardest part for me was getting linux up and
running, after that everything is easy, you just have to read ALOT of
HOW-TO pages and scour the net, everything is well documented and easy
to figure out once you start playing with it. Don't think you will
get this up and running in one afternoon the first time you play with
it,, but the trip is worth the wait!
Good Luck

I use to get the "error" on an old 486 I had. It had a really slow hard
drive in it, and every so often this would appear. It generally means
the kernel tried to communicate with the hard drive [controller] and
failed. So then the kernel issues a ide reset, and as you can see it
succeeded in finially getting the drive's attention.
Unless you start gettting a large amount of these 'errors', things are
