I don't know where this rumor originated, but it is not true.
Hotmail runs on a couple of big iron Sparc Solaris boxes ($1M a pop).
M$ tried to get it running on NT, and that failed.

Does anyone know why Suse trys to enforce the 1023 cylinder limit for the
boot partition ? Redhat's Disk Druid also scoffs at boot partitions over
8.5 GB, but if you use fdisk for partitioning and install, it is OK. But
Suse will not let you install Lilo on large partitions. Very annoying
since Lilo would work fine (as shown by Redhat working) if you could just
get past their 'error' messagebox and just do the install.
As a side note on the Suse vs Redhat comparisions, I'll have to through
my 2 cents in for Redhat. I like the fact that Suse will let me do Tcl
with perl without tracking down downloads to get things working, but Suse
seems to have more in the way of odd behavior traits, such as the Lilo
limitation mentioned above.

Oh, the issues were the same ones I would have had with a CD-R (not
CD-W) drive.
Well, my drive isn't on the "known to work with Linux" list, so I had
the fear issue, for one.
I may have given a wrong impression: every step of getting my CD-RW
drive working was covered, well, in the CD-Writing HOWTO. It's just
a non-straightforward process, particularly when you have to
recompile your kernel to include support for having IDE CD-ROMs seen
as SCSI (because the writing software expects a SCSI device).
Not hard, per se, but time consuming. The HOWTO was indispensable.

There's also rdate -- I have my ip-up script call rdate and set my

Yeah, pretty much like that. I can't test with NT (because I don't
have access to an NT box) but Win95 machines read both CD-Rs and
CD-RWs I create without difficulty.

Almost forgot to mention, my BIOS does not have the 1023 limitation,
although, yes, I do realize that older BIOSes may. I don't understand why
someone with a newer BIOS should be restricted for a limitation that they
do not have.

If you are trying to boot look in the /boot directory for an old kernel
image. I dont recall the name but on my machine I found a good backup
already there when I needed it.
You also might want to use /etc/lilo.conf to have the option of booting
with the kernel of choice. After you edit lilo.conf just run lilo to
update your boot record. Then next time you reboot you can press [TAB]
to see what options you have given yourself.

But despirately needs updating. Disk at once burning exists and can be done
with cdrdao...the HOWTO says its not available. More needs to be put in about
creating ElDorado CDs...its only mentioned as possible....AND it needs more
info on creating images, like how to make an iso/Juliet hybred and why you

HOWTO came of no use to me....I got enough out of it to get the drive going

the following message whenever I try to start an application with any
form of a window attached to it:
>Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
>Xlib: Client is not autorized to connect to Server

I did chech the DISPLAY environment variable, and found that it was set
( correctly I believe) to :0.0
When I tried to run xhost as suggested I got the same error as above,
but with the "emacs:......" portion replaced by
>xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
When I restart my machine I usually don't have this problem.
Can anyone fill me in as to what is the cause of this, and as to how it
can be resolved.

Not if it's installed somewhere else, and called with LD_LIBRARY_PATH

By the way, durring the RH6.0 install it runs you through fdisk or disk
druid to setup your partitions and prompts you for a mount point for
each (except swap). If you enter something like /mnt/dosc for your
msdos/win partition, it'll setup fstab for you.
I'm certainly NOT suggesting that you re-install...just pointing out an
easy way to do this on future installs.

You CAN use RealPlayer G2 Beta for Linux. Finding this on

And trust me...my system is FAR below the required standards for

If you are refering to something along the lines of an icq program with

Well, depends....CD-R is record only, can't be erased for 1, and can't do RW
like DirectCD. Which brings up another diff, in that DirectCD uses "packet
writing" which is entirily different from burning an iso image. Linux is so
far unable to do packet writing afaik.

Strange. Maybe you're opening these applications with su and you startx with

How different is the OSS driver in SuSE from the one that cost
$20? I didn't bother installing the one that comes with SuSE
since I had allready purchased it.
My only complaint so far is about the Netscape version that
comes with it. I didn't want it installed but it was installed
anyway. Not that I don't like Netscape but I prefer the US Version.
It would be nice to have a decent version of Netscape on one of the
installation CDs instead of the export version.
