I'm having a peculiar problem installing RH6.2. I shrunk a 30 gig FAT drive
and created a 6 gig ext2 partition and a 128 meg swap partition with a
utility called "partition manager" (couldn't get fips to behave). FDISK
"sees" all three partitions.
When I boot up the install CD, soon as I chose an installation method (gnome
workstation... in my case), I get the error, "Can't find hardware on which

Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 15:38:08 -0400
Is there a way to specify the order of interface names for multiple pci
ethernet cards?
I have an ne2k and a via-rhine in one of my systems. I had set up
conf.modules with
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 via-rhine
The problem seemed to be that the the via-rhine was detected first and
the first nic is always assigned to eth0. The only way I could get
networking up was to reconfigure conf.modules and all my network files
to use the via-rhine as eth0. The only documentation I could find
regarding assignment of cards to specific interfaces applied to ISA
cards, not PCI.
Thanks,
Thomas

I would venture to say your ext2 partition begins beyond the 2 gig boundary.
Check you documentation (AKA RTFM) to ensure you've satisfied any limitations
before you start rearranging your hard disk.

Sorry, UCB is correct. The point is still well taken, and spelling

I have configured my home partition /dev/md0 using the lastest RAID
utils.
I am using RAID 1 (mirroring only).
I never patched the kernel for RAID as I have 2.2-14.
Occasionally I feel the system bogg down on login or on
the CMD line.
I am not running anything else (including X).
Has anyone else had any similar experiences with RAID?

have a look at the files in /etc/cron.daily/ one of them seems to be
trying to run an expire routine on your news groups (which you havn't got).
Look at the files and see which one is doing this, and comment the commands
in the file out, and put a comment in there saying what you've done.
Hopefully this should stop it from sending you a mail message every day.

UNIX did a *great deal* that wasn't being done on DEC's OS at
that time. DEC, AT&T and others were all innovative and they
did evolve the state of the art. See this URL for Dennis
Ritchie's thoughts on one particular contribution made by UNIX,
<http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/hist.html#pipes>
However, what I stated above is that doing something that is
well known and has been standardized by someone else for
more than two *decades* is not an innovation.

The installer may be expecting to create the partitions itself.
But the last time I installed RH6.1 on a machine with existing
partitions, it showed them to me and allowed me to modify
them.

When creating the three partitions on your hard drive (swap , / and /usr)
make sure that / is large enough to hold all the software packages that you
are trying to install. Regardless of what the install says, / needs to be
about 400mb and /usr can be the rest.
At least this all worked for me on a RH 6.1 from cheapbytes that I put on a
2 gig partition of a 8.4 gig drive and it saved me a lot of time on a SuSE
install I just finished. Next thing is to figure out why.

I never did use IE but I have noticed the same thing about the partner
links. Like the "Shop" button in 4.72, what a waste of space since you
can find things cheaper at other sites than the one they stick in your
face.
Nothing new but I've also noticed the bookmarks that come preinstalled
with the browser are linked back to netcsape. If you remove the ones
that come with the browser and make them point directly to the website
they are faster than the ones linked back to netscape. No surprise
really, seems everyone but netscape knows the shortest distance between
two points is a straight line. DUH! Makes me wonder what else they have
linked back to netscape?
AHhh!! The information age! You the user are producing information

Try looking for the files with:

After you cd'd into /myfiles all you should have used was:

You are right :-(
How do I configure autofs so I can access anything on my zip drive under
mountpoint "/zip" ?

That is a tough call. I will pick 'C' becuase it is the foundation
for C++ and Unix and POSIX OSs (including Windows NT) are written in
it. Yes, the first few revs of Unix were in PDP assembler. Now only
about 5 - 10 percent is assembler. I also admit that C was not the
first compiled language (COBOL or FORTRAN was). It is the language
that brought computing to the masses in a big way. I learned C in the
early 80's based on K&Rs first edition of The C Programming Language.

I think I listed some pretty good innovations. They were new or
nearly new when they came out. Java may be questionable becuase it
brought together technologies from other languages. Lisp had GC
first. Smalltalk was OO. Simula 67 was as well and inspired the
classes in C++. TCP/IP and Ethernet are what the Internet is built
on. Berkley used C to implement Sockets. Sockets made TCP/IP
programming easy. I can go on, but I'll give you another turn.

' Bringing quality software to the masses at a reasonable price. Bill Gates is
' to software what Henry Ford was to cars.
CP/M did that. I learned C on a CP/M based system. DOS is nothing
more than a CP/M clone that, when it got popular, started to make
incremental improvements. The Commodore 64 was the first really
popular computer. It did not even use CP/M or DOS. The TRS-80 was
also popular. It used TRS-DOS based on CP/M.
Now you may point out that C was derived from BCPL. Fine. But BCPL
and B were both DOA. AT&T had the brilliance to release C to the
world without charge. C is the langauge of Unix, and Unix is the core
OS of the Internet. C is also the language of Windows.
Your turn.
