u can let ur linux system stay on the first drive and make a link to the
second one like "ln-s /hdb? /usr". it will work fine. but if the
partition table of ur slave drive is damaged there is no way out to
fdisk it again (i guess). however if u shouldn't have any important
files on it i think there is no problem.
have a nice day,

Thanks for the explanation. I recompiled the kernel and it is working.
It is very exciting. It looks like that after upgrading
of all *.rpm including the kernel, RH6.0 begin to work better and
quiker.
I was not ready to run "make config" - I used "make oldconfig".
and processor in the settings now is i586. So I selected packages not
from i686 but i586.
I prefere to change only processor type but not all setting in
make config. I am not familiar with all settings.
Can I change only processor type then upgrade *i586.rpm to *i686.rpm
and recompile the kernel?
Thanks.

You realize that the original development of UNIX at AT&T was
funded internally as a publishing system. That was the
origination of all the text utilities, and the _original_
desktop publishing system using troff. Of course it never was a
toy system, but a full fledged professional document publishing
system.
That legacy lives on today with groff and TeX, both of which are
significantly superior to word processors for developing
professional quality publications.
And of course SGI was for several years the ultimate in "heavy
graphics". Most other unix's have almost caught up with SGI
today though, and in price performance are a better buy.
The fact is that for professional publishing and graphics, unix
has been at the top of the field for most of the past two
decades. For lower quality systems unix wasn't a significant
player until cpu power became inexpensive enough that common
people could afford unix.

Linux may or may not be the best server (I suspect the BSD people would
argue that one any day). But the concept that Linux today provides
most people with everything except the creativity to do what they want
is relatively true. It does, however, ignore the fact that most people
are NOT all that creative and what they need is a productivity tool.
Linux in specific, but desktop computers in general, are not there yet.

And I think Linux/Unix is cool and use it a lot. And I'm all for it displacing
Windows everywhere it can.
But when I want to do word processing, a WSIWYG that can import spreadsheets and
graphics and all the other fancy stuff is what I want.
If we want to sell Linux to users, they have to be able to *use* it, and I can tell
you from expereince that users *despise* vi, to use a classic example.

Not exactly. The drive letter is not the same as windows drive letter.
For
IDE hard drives letters go like this:
Controller 1 Master = a
Controller 1 Slave = b
Controller 2 Master = c
Controller 2 Slave = d
So, in your case, devices are probably hda1, hda2 and hda3.
If you're using SCSI - devices are sda for first hard drive (drive w/
lowest ID), sdb for second, etc...
also, mount command need spaces between fs type, device and directory
where
you're mounting it.
i.e.
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
^^^^ - yes you need this, since device files are in /dev
you can set it up to mount eutomatically, just add an appropriate entry
to /etc/fstab. man fstab for more info.

I purchased a RedHat package, but after looking it over, installed
Slackware instead. This is just a personal thing, but RedHat seemed too
automatic without much explanation, and I wanted to try to understand the
installation and configuration process. Slackware is fine.
Netscape has not yet been installed and I didn't get a copy with
Slackware. It's too big to download. There is a copy of Netscape on one
of the RedHat CDs and I am wondering if there is someway to get at and
install that without using the RPM. Am I overlooking something obvious
here? Thanks.

That's different from what I hear on the NetBSD lists. They're roaring
through updates at the moment, and the quantity/quality of supported
systems is increasing nicely.

Unlike the Linux distributions, the BSD ones tend to come from a
single source and then released by anyone who wants to package them in
a more convenient form (i.e. the Gateway CD-ROM). I've never seen a
commercial BSD package. They aren't the bolt-and-build affairs
(excuse the term, it was the best I could think of) of Linux.
The Linux distros seem to be more varied in terms of quality,
quantity, included software and support. About the closest you get to
the Linux world in BSD is whether you choose NetBSD, OpenBSD or
FreeBSD.
As for support, I think the BSDs are stronger than ever at the moment
- Linux has kinda opened up the idea of using a free OS, and thus
there's a nice knock-on effect for non-Linux freenix systems.
The main line with the BSDs as far as I can tell, for software
support, is that developers are encouraged to concentrate on writing
for Linux as the software can then be used on a BSD system (either via
recompilation or binary emulation - after all, it has been claimed
that NetBSD can run Linux binaries faster than Linux). The developer
can then decide at a later stage to develop more BSD-specific versions
if it makes sense to do so. The Linux version of Quake on FreeBSD
using emulation is supposed to be pretty phenomenal in terms of
performance.

I'm not sure about user figures for BSD over Linux, except that it is
growing - Linux is likely to have overtaken BSD by a wide margin
within the last year or two though. However, there are quite a large
proportion of servers on the web using a BSD in preference to Linux,
Solaris or NT.

Yes, and they released 6.0 with 1.1.1 and it was only 2 months later at

I'm using 5.1 and I don't know why the people need to have the latest

Hi again,
After another day or so of working with the HPA2094A, I now have it
working well for X. Ironicly enough, it syncs for 1280x1024 at 75Hz,
it's hit or miss at 74Hz (what I had working some of the time earlier),
and won't sync below that. I suppose the guy I got it from probably
fiddled with the H and V sync potentieometers so it works at 75Hz.
Anyhow, if I get SVGAText going, I'll let you know (and if you do, I'd

Yes. When I first started to try out LinuX I started with Slackware, and
tested any other distro I could get my hands on after that, even though
I always had my Windows setup on my Master Hard drive. It wasn't until I
tested COL1.3 after testing RH5.2 that I became a Caldera supporter,
COL1.3 was a very good all round product and in my opinion was the best
LinuX distro until COL2.2 came out. When COL2.2 came out I immediately
ordered it from the Caldera Systems website and got it soon after that.
Though I never did get to see the installation under windows the
installation with the Bootdisk was the best I had ever seen and im sure
will get better in the future, after everything was installed and I used
it for a while I told myself "Screw this, im going to de-install this
crap" After I got MS WINDOWS de-installed I re-installed COL2.2 but this
time I used both Hard drives and have lived without Windows ever since.

Yea, deja.com uses a 180, or so, box Linux cluster. Yahoo! is a PC BSD
shop, as is best.com, and, if I am not mistaken, hotmail.com uses, (or
did use,) a BSD front end.
Maybe Linux vs. BSD is a Ford vs. Chevy argument.

I would recommend SCSI Dat drives. I've used Travan and they have 2 big
disadvantages that I've discovered: 1) The tapes are outrageously expensive at
$25-$45 a pop and 2) Tapes seem to go bad very easily. I used Travan drives for
years, but got feed up with the tape expense and flakiness of the tapes. I bit the
bullet and got a SCSI tape device (not cheap!) - a HP SureStore Tape 6000 about
$700, but it was worth it. Tapes are cheap (about $4 for the 120 meter DDS2 4mm
tapes) and I've not had a bit of problems with either the drive or the tapes.
OTOH, I've not seen an IDE tape drive that won't work with Linux. I've no
experience with the parallel port vesions, but wouldn't recommend one just because
they seem to be MUCH slower than IDE or SCSI.
My 2 cents.
