Subject: Dual Boot Problem
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 15:03:03 GMT
Hello all, recently there was a discussion on this group about someone
who was attempting to dual-boot with one OS on a SCSI drive and one OS
on an IDEdrive. lilo was freezing with a message of 'LI'. I am
experiencing a similar problem with LILO however, I am trying to migrate
my system from IDE to SCSI. I have tried the disk= and bios=settings
that were mentioned but I still am experiencing the same problem. Here
is my situation
I have server that has been running redhat 6.1 for a while... It runs
off of 2 ide drives and has an ide cdrom too. The primary harddrive has
begun failing. So we had another server that was just decomissioned. It
had an Adaptec 2940UW controller and 2 SCSI HDs. I installed of this
hardware in my server and booted on the ide drive. Everything installed
correctly and I transferred over all of the partitions successfully.
After that I can never get lilo to boot correctly off of the SCSI drive.
It works fine off of the IDE drive only. I checked BIOS and it has a
setting "HDD Sequence SCSI/IDE First" with two options of SCSI or IDE. I
set it to SCSI and Lilo freezes on 'LI' I disconnected the /dev/hda
(Primary drive) I set it to IDE and I receive a "Not a system disk. Hit
a key to reboot" message. So I assume that I have the BIOS set
correctly. I can boot under SCSI fine off of a boot disk...but it fails
otherwise.
Here is my lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda5
I have changed the bios= line to 0x81 and 0x82 and I receive the same
problem The only difference is when I run lilo I receive a message:
"Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk" when I try with 0x81 and
0x82 I have set rdev to sda5 and it checks out fine.... I am at a loss
as to what else to try...
One final bit of info... Currently, my system has no /dev/hda connected.
/dev/hdb is connected and so is /dev/hdc.
Thanks!

Subject: Two filesystem questions re linuxPPC
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 06:55:42 -0800
I am in the process of building a linux on a PPC system (BeBox).
As of now I have a very basic system up and running. I need to
be able to use rpm to add more capabilities, but getting new stuff
in is a challenge.
My questions are:
1. Were there changes to the linuxPPC filesystem between the
Red Hat Rev. 4 release and later releases? I am wondering whether
I can mount an ext2 filesystem created on a ZIP drive by my Intel
linux system.
2. Can ext2 filesystems (e.g., on a ZIP) be exchanged between x86
and PPC linux systems, or is this part of the endien issue?
Thanks to anyone who might have insightful answers.

Hi,
I was looking at getting the 110 years of National Geographic CD/DVD set
but I wanted to know how useful it was under linux.
1) Are the files in some readable format?
2) Can they be reasonably searched some how?
3) Failing this how well does it run under WINE?
I am also curious about the Mad magazine collection.

Can anyone tell me why RH 6.1 would start this process by default upon boot?
I'd like to stop it to save memory, but don't want to disable something.
Them man page gives no clues as to why it'd be started.
" The random() function uses a non-linear additive feedback
random number generator employing a default table of size

Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 20:18:36 +0500
hi ppl
I use redhat 6.1 on my pentium100. I have a windows partition and a
linux partition. I created 2 users ont my system(other than root of
course). lets they are 'myself' and 'mydad' :)
I had a piece of tar.gz file , owned by 'root' on my windows partition.
I was logged into linux as 'root' and i copied the tarball to
'/usr/src/' directory. then i swithed my virtual consol and logged in as
'myself'.
now as i did a 'tar -zxvf *.tar.gz' in the '/usr/src/' directory it
created a directory of the contents of the tarball in the same
directory... but the strange thing was that the new directory was owned
by 'mydad' instead of 'myself' and all the files in that directory were
also owned by 'mydad'.
can someone please tell me why this happen... i am baffled at this...
is this some sort of a bug that i have stumbled upon?
thanks for your patience

Subject: LPRng problem with HPcolorLaserjet5
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 10:42:32 -0500
I have recently switched our print server from NT4 to Linux using LPRng and
Samba. This is an engineering company using Microstation, therefore, the
majority of plot files are created from within our Cad program and saved as
plot files. These files are then binary copied to a mapped printer port
that works great. However, a few windows based programs need to print
directly using windows drivers (ie Word Documents, WordPerfect Files, etc.)
This is where my problem begins. When we try to print to our HP5, LPRng
will not print the file. My printcap is spooling RAW format, therefore, the
files created from Windows should just spool up and print without any
problem.
Do I need to use some sort of filter , or is something else going on. I
have configured LPRng not to check for unprintable files, but they still
won't print. The file shows up in my queue, and then disappears, but never
gets printed. The formatting has been done on a windows computer using the
supplied windows drivers for the printer and spooled in a raw format via
Linux and LPRng.
Also, it seems to only be this particular printer, because the HP5000,
HP750, HP2500, And Oce9400, all print fine. These are all network printers
connected to the network via their internal Jet-Direct Cards.
What is going on and Please can someone help fix it. I was really hoping to
not have to set up any printer filters, but if I have to, I may need someone
to help me through it.

Subject: Re: Linux startup needs software ideas
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 16:15:04 GMT
I suposse this is one of the subjects that got more answers.
Here is mine:
First is important to studie how you are going to sell the product. You
guys have the tech, a mimimal amount of money to start business and ... that
what you don't have ... the distribution.
Options:
Sell directly to end user in door to door basis: This needs to be a
high price product or your business won't go much far. If this is your idea
focus in programs to help the local industry and/or computer services. My
personal tip "do embedded industrial applications".
Sell directly to end user in "sent to your home" basis, using internet
:-) . This can be a low cost product as long as you keep selling, so it
must asure you that people will need further releases. Games are good
choice but they need HIGH inversion if you expect people to spend money in
your product and not in the competitors. Other choices are office and home
helpers but this will be target more or less by the free projects.
Sell to a distributor: Here you enter in another business and as long a
you are in command of your product it can take you to success. In this kind
of market you MUST enter in low cost products that even if they don't do
much are easy to sell ( card games, the Dogs enciclopidia, etc). There is a
big need of these kind of software as more and more CD are sell with
magazines and things like this. Don't try to target high budget proyects
unless you have lots of money, or the distributor will blow you out. My
personal tip "every thing can be sold you only have to find the price".
Over all I personaly think that the market for small productions is the
learning product. Fathers are happy to spend money in helping childs learn.
Good products can be low budget proyects and compete with big companies.
I had a company made several educational programs for a distribution
company, but I didn�t know then what I know now and the distribution
company make us close (but they make some bucks). Now I work for a
industrial software company but I will be back.
Hope you have luck.
Fernando

To me, that sounds like you've got it set up for DHCP to get all it's
info (IP address, Netmask, etc). If you know these settings, you can
go into Linuxconf, and under Network Settings, Basic Client Settings
(not sure on the exact wording), click on the eth0 tab, and you can
click the Manual button (it is most likely on DHCP right now). You can
then fill out your IP info, and all the other numbers there, and you
should be all set.

Correct.

Which "random process"?
You mean "initializing random number generator" (or something similar)?
You can't, or at least shouldn't try to, disable that. The /dev/random
device is a terribly nice thing to have in GNU/Linux and you may break
all sorts of programs by trying to disable it (GnuPG and PGP are two of
them).
As far as I know, there is no waste of memory.

What's worse is the thousands of man-hours wasted by the

to a "named" user or something similar. Why I did this, I don't know.
I thought it unimportant at the time. But now when I connect to my
Linux box here at work whether using my Linux box or Windows machine at
home, I cannot look up any pages on the Internet. Name service fails.
I can look at a page if I type in its IP address. But that is
painfully slow. Yet, when I telnet into my box here at work (I can only
do so by using its IP address) name service works great. I can go to
any page using the *.com address at work but not at home.
I reinstalled the very latest BIND rpm as well as the
caching-nameserver rpm. What am I missing? Any help would be
appreciated. Additional information can be provided.
Thanks.

I did something stupid the other day and can't figure
out what it was. Maybe someone can help me. I have a Linux server running
RedHat 6.1 with the latest patches. I use it here at work as my desktop
<br>machine.
<br>Attached to it is an external US Robotics 33.6 modem. From home I can
dial up into this box and have internet connectivity, albeit slow versus
what I have here at work. It works great using my Linux box at home
<br>and my
<br>wife and kids can use it also for their Windows machines.
<br> However, I deleted some entry on my machine here
at work in regards to a "named" user or something similar. Why I
did this, I don't know. I thought it unimportant at the time.

<br>Linux box here at work whether using my Linux box or Windows machine
at home, I cannot look up any pages on the Internet. Name service

<br>painfully slow. Yet, when I telnet into my box here at work (I
