Before it, make sure that the

This the most annoying problem I faced when I first installed linux (redhat 5.2,
with a supported video card Trident 9660), but when I asked around I knew the
problem which is what u may have now.
And make sure firstly that ur video card is supported or not!

Subject: Linux partitions
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm fairly new to Linux and have recently installed RedHat on my PIII computer. It
installed pretty easy but I think I may have made a mistake when I partitioned my
disk. I created two partitions, one for files and one for swap.
Someone told me I should have created lots of partitions, one for home, one for var,
one for usr.
Why would someone want to create lots of small partitions? What are the advantages of
doing this? Would it be easy for me to change to this?

Sure. There are a number of smaller distributions (not the "classic"
desktop ones like Red Hat, Debian, Mandrake, etc.) that are intended
for installation on smaller machines.
Take a look here:

for a few smaller Linux distro and links to others. Good luck!

Intel's faced the federal courts before on these very same issues, as have
IBM and others. They had some very negative press *at the time* but wisely
concluded it was neither in their best interests, nor any consumers, to be
as stupidly persistent about violating the Sherman Antitrust Act as MS. It
is not some kind of Red Badge of Courage these monstrous egos sometimes in
"charge" at these concerns can take to their cutthroat competitions. It is
a sign they are acting very antisocially, and will be sanctioned for it. I
don't think in the lastest episode Judge Jackson cares one iota for it, or
has patience for the schoolyard excuse that "everybody does it" either.

Perhaps they don't have a *choice* about it? Until a couple of years ago I
could not even walk into a store and have an MS-less system without making
a very large deal out of it. For me and millions of others it's never been
about the money alone; it's about choice. This is the point the MS crowd's
not getting: there's a difference between free beer and free will. Victims
in a civilized society turn to the law; anarchists take matters into their
own hands. Which culture do you prefer?
[Snip...]
|> Microsoft has a duty to their shareholders.
Nobody to my knowledge ever denied this. Judge Jackson also believes there
is a larger duty to free markets generally as a matter of justice. If some
shareholders don't like it, they need to own shares in more just companies
or work *legally* to get the law changed more to their liking.
[Snip...]
|> In fact I am saying that their innovation *is* the cutthroat competition.
You apparently disagree with my contention, then, that there was much more
innovation in starting the Free Software Foundation than MS Bob, There was
more innovation in Linus deciding to offer his intellectual property for a
higher purpose on Usenet than anything MS has ever offered. And there's no
question the absolute rout of NT servers starting at the hands of geeks in
business deploying "stealth" Open Source support was innovative. These are
folks who literally staked their jobs on this notion. Those are innovative
*ideas* not just some monpolistic commercial junk pandered as such.
|> It's just more popular to bash MS (and pretty old and boring too).
No, what's boring is MS insanely insisting restraint of trade is some kind
of "innovation" the world has never had to suffer before.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortnunately that does't seem to be the problem.

Er, how can you format a hard-disk wrong?
Surely if you can install Linux you can format a hard-disk?
When you re-install though make sure you read the IPCHAINS-HOWTO.TXT in
/usr/doc (on most dists). At the very least dis-allow ports 0-1023, then
"knock holes through" the firewall for stuff like your WWW or FTP server...

I would like to buy a good book that:
1._ Would clearly walk me through the installation hassle,
2._ preferably containing the software,
3._ and would walk me then beyond the basics.
Are there "standard" LINUX certifications out there?

You haven't made a mistake, you're system will work fine. Mine is the same except I
have a /boot partition also. The idea behind all the other partitions is (I think!)
that if you ever need to reinstall/upgrade your system (i.e.
Linux) then by having all your data in a separate partition you could just reformat
the / partition, install Linux and all your data would still be there intact in it's
own partition, say /home? I don't think it is easy to change
this now but I'm sure it can be done.
Don't worry about it, work/play away, if one day you want to reinstall/upgrade, copy
all your stuff onto a ZIP disk or similar (or Win98 partition as I do!) and then just
create a better file system next time!!

Rich.

On your disk, in /usr/bin, if you are using slackware 7.0. It's part

there are several small specialty distributions. Note, the total
RAM you have will likely dictate which of these are viable. the present
kernels use about 5 MB unless trimmed down. There is also a how-to on
trimming down the kernel size. Sorry, I do not have URLs for any.

Yes.
But if you are inexperienced, practically speaking, no. You'll need
to install bits and pieces off of another distro by hand.
The minimum space requirements will be something like 3M ram and 4M
disk space. Plus a bit of swap.
You can pick and choose about 8M of install from a debian distro
fairly easily .. I just did it:
du -sx *
1 account
1434 bin
9 boot
1 cdrom
21 dev
735 etc
1 floppy
1 home
1 initrd

You can't. How would you address them? On a 32 bit system, you only
have 4GB of offset addressing available within th efile, and one
bit of that is for the sign.
You'll need to seek out 64bit patches for linux VFS on i86, and possibly
alter the c library slightly as well - I've never bothered to apply
the patches so I don't know.
The simplest answer is to do it on a 64bot machine, such as an alpha

Can anyone suggest me how to return to console
mode.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
He/She has deleted the bj.c file.
However this is what I found again:
telnet stmary-04.por.or.bbnow.net 1222
telnet 34226.south-green.ohiou.edu 1133
ftp 202.135.7.158
I have since scrapped the mail server and have put in a NEW equipment.
I have also modified /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to allow and
disallow certain servers. I am also logging all POP3 + SMTP calls.
I need some pointers on IPCHAINS. Thanks.

Are you running StarOffice? SO always did the same thing for me - it doesn't
seem like a big deal, but it annoyed me so much I stopped using SO!

Subject: Connecting Win 98 <---> Linux ??
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 12:12:19 GMT
Hi,
I've read the HOWTOs and a lot of messages but I didn't got
my doubts solved yet on how to connect (in order to exchange
their resources) two computers running Win 98 and Linux, when
both are FAR AWAY, one with other, that's I can't, physicaly,
connect them with ethernet cards and cables and hubs, etc.
Is this "remote access" possible? If so, what are the means
could I use to provide it?
I'll be thankful for any help.
