Look in /usr/src/linux (assuming that /usr/src/linux->/usr/src/linux-2.2.9).
There is a System.map there for 2.2.9.
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.9
ln -s /boot/System.map-2.2.9 /boot/System.map
You can do the same for bzImage, but it's not absolutely necessary, as long as
you specify the correct bzImage in /etc/lilo.conf
Also, do a
depmod -a 2.2.9
This will create a modules.dep under /lib/modules/2.2.9, whithout which
modprobe can' work.

I'm having some problems w/ isofs.
I used to have it compiled as a module. So if I wanted to mount a
cd-rom, I had to load the module first.
I tried to recompile my kernel and have it so it supported iso w/o
having to load the module.
I did the following:
make xconfig
(Selected "y" for isofs)
(Save and Exit)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make bzlilo
shutdown -r now
Everything seemed to go ok, but iso still isn't supported by the kernel
and needs to be loaded as a module, STILL.
I was wondering if I missed something or if someone could tell me why it
didn't work. Thanx.
I am running Redhat 5.2 kernerl version 2.0.36.

True - but then again if you are putting it down on what is really
'legacy' hardware then you are probably doing it for home use etc. A
business wanting a UNIX-type server to run a database etc is likely to
be able to scrape together a reasonably high spec machine. Even then,
you don't need as high a spec as say Windows/NT 4.0 - that really
sucks the power out of hardware!
>and the very expensive licensing costs.
I agree here - SCO has always seemed very pricey to me - but then
again I have never had to buy it myself. I run 'Free SCO' at home to
play about with but at work I just use installations that have been
bought by businesses. In the latter environment you want a machine
that installs quickly and is simple to upgrade / administer.
>The poor performance merely ices the cake.
I haven't anything else to compare SCO with. Does Linux out perform an
OS like Openserver 5 - given identical, reasonably high-spec hardware?

Yowee - that's pushing it a bit - you have my congratulations! :-)
>Linux would have no problems with

Yep - it will do. The old SCO OS3 (3.2.4.2) would do a lot better I
think.
>On a price:performance basis, SCO is *not* worth considering, IMHO ;).
True - price would make the decision for you every time - unless you
are a big business and just want it to go in and work first time with
simple admin & upgrade thereafter. Companies are willing to pay that
little bit extra for both OS and hardware if their jobs are on the
line. At home we are a little bit more forgiving and often willing to
spend more time to get something to work - just for the fun of it.
Best wishes,

Subject: Re: LILO hangs on LI
Date: 8 Jul 1999 15:09:46 GMT
I guess our problem was that we tried to install LILO in the second
drive mbr and changing boot sequence to D->..whatever
to make it boot everything.
I tried most of the tricks I found, but none of them worked.
LILO, while set on /dev/hdc, with linuz on /dev/hdc1 (well under 1024)
was hanging on LI . The _same_ lilo.conf with all hdc->hda,
works fine after I switched the drives, and made disk with LILO on
mbr the first one(keeping the same disk geometries).
In docs for lilo it is said that as primary
boot loader LILO must be installed on the first hdd or fd.
I don't see any particular reason for that, but it looks like
that's the rule of the game for now.
(ps i also tried to fool lilo with disk.. bios.. options-invain)

There's Tom Christiansen's "Why csh is harmful" page; after recent flame
wars, his opinions may not be considered real palatable, but he did
have some decent things to say about the "evils" of csh.
I would suggest that if you're considering a shell change that you
also consider:
a) Korn shell, which is ubiquitous, and
b) zsh, which has the most powerful dynamic globbing system...

Sounds like you can do all that you need on LINUX - looks like your choice,
then, is whether you want to find all of these things to allow Microsoft

Andrew,
The /etc/modules file must be edited by hand. You can, however,
specify 'auto' in this file (as the only module) and all modules will be
auto-loaded as needed by the kernel.
As for the CD mounting problem. I would guess that you did not select
the iso characterset when configuring the kernel. These iso character
sets are probably needed for windows style CDs (joliet extentions) and
other windows filesystems like vfat. Make sure you selected 'Microsoft
joliet CDROM extentions' in the filesystems section along with the
appropriate Native Language Support (iso 8859-1 which is Latin 1;
Western European Languages) I cannot remember if these options are in
the 2.0.x kernels, but the options are in the 2.2.x kernels.

The only thing is that you need to have you drive partitioned or get another

I have been a user of Geoworks/New Deal for 8 years. I have been using the
New Deal 2.5 version for about 2 years and just downloaded the Release 3.0 45
day sample version last week. Anyone looking for an alternative to Windows or
that has a computer kicking around that can't run the latest version of Windows
needs to download this test version and take it for a spin.
(www.newdealinc.com) It will shock you that you can get so much for so
little. New Deal offers a Windows like interface that will have you or your
family up and running in minutes. Plus with a fully integrated suite of
applications, (Imagine, an OS that comes with a usable suite of applications
included!) it just makes it a must have for anyone. Does it do everything
Windows does?? No, but it does do most of the basic tasks that any computer
user needs. Download the trial version, take it for a drive, and I will bet you
will come away amazed at just what it can do.

P.S.
It cost you nothing to try it out... So try it now.

if you only want to check out linux you could use mulinux which AFAIK can
be run from floppy or be installed in a directory on a DOS partition.
But for the standard distros the above is definitely correct. You even
need at least two partitions, one for swap and the other for linux itself,
unless you want to work with a swap file which is not recommended.

I have a dial up acct. with my ISP.
How does one configure a mailserver and newsserver through uucp ? I tried
to do that but got an error : Line busy.
What are the advantages ? Speed ? or something else
Any help would be appreciated,
Chhabra.
