See the man page for fd(4).
H360 is for formatting a 360K disk in a 1.44M 3.5" drive.
You want h360 for a 360K disk in a 1.2M 5.25" drive.

A few possibilities:
Use the NT boot loader - ther is a HOWTO that explains this. I know
this works because I've done it.
Put LILO in the linux partition rather than the Master Boot Record,
replace the MBR and then and set the Linux partiton as active.
I haven't tried this but I have heard it works.

Actually, bigger drives are sometimes cooler, because they have newer chips
with lower powers. In some cases (no prunch intended), disconecting the
fan leads to lower overall temperature. The fan itself makes approx. 10W
of heat.

I assume that you are talking about the Int 13 Extensions to the EIDE
interface. Is that correct? If so, what about SCSI? My Adaptec SCSI
card has two modes; in one mode 1024cyl = 1GB, in the other mode
1024cyl = 7.8GB (or something like that). Since SCSI is not as
standardized as EIDE, and every vendor seems to do things in a slightly
different and incompatible way, is there any hope that LILO can be
patched to boot from above the 1024th cylinder on a SCSI disk? Or have
I totally misunderstood everything? :-)

What? That makes no sense, unless the floppy drive itself is damaged or
not plugged in correctly. LILO cannot "take over" the floppy drive; at
boot time, the BIOS controls which device is the boot device.
Go into the BIOS and make sure that the *only* boot device selected is the
floppy drive. Insert a bootable DOS disk with the system files, FDISK.EXE
and FORMAT.EXE on it. Boot from the DOS floppy, FDISK /MBR, FDISK, FORMAT
C: and go.

As do I, and it works... in 2D mode *only*. Anything OpenGL other than
Quake3 causes an immediate and violent X-server crash. And Quake3 has a
horrible framerate.
nVidia are dragging their feet about releasing hardware specifications for
their boards, and they've been saying, "3D Linux Drivers for the TNT2
coming Real Soon Now" for the last 6-8 months. Matrox and 3Dfx basically
said, "Here's the specs, write some drivers, have fun!" to the Xfree86
developers. As a result, if you want the best performance under Linux,
you get a Matrox or Voodoo card. Also, if you want Linux to have a
future, support the companies that support Open Source. nVidia doesn't
seem to care about Open Source, therefore they will not get any more of my
money ever again.

I assume you're replying to Stewart and not to me. I said in my first
line that drive size (meaning capacity) is unrelated to temperature. A
9G drive may have two platters in it while a 4G drive may have three -
in which case the 4G drive will tend to run hotter (assuming that they
are spinning at the same speed and have the same electronics.)
As for the fans, if yours are drawing 10W, I'd suggest you find another
source for your fans. The large case-fans in my system all say that
they draw 4W from the power supply - and fans don't convert all of their
current-draw into heat the way chips to.

Judge Jackson heard the same lame excuse, and apparently he doesn't agree at
all that "oppression" was missing. Any choice then was not *because* of this
MS predation, but *despite* it and often over outrageous artificial barriers
to having *any* choices. This is not a matter of mere opinion on my part; it
is a matter of court records now. That's why we had the facts of law portion
of the case, remember?
No reasonable persons, not even MS lawyers, contend with this anymore.

Move to a higher level of abstraction than chili. FSF has given the world an
alternative license for the protection of intellectual property (GPL), Linus
et al sophisticated applications to empower a mere kernel (gcc, etc.), and a
a revolution in efficient and reliable software development and distribution
(Open Source). When it comes to bringing affordable computing innovations to
fruition and into maintenance, MS prefers picking consumer pockets first and
gets the "competition" religion only in miraculous deathbed conversions. You
may not like Stallman (etc.) but you cannot argue he's not innovative and in
every sense an asset to many commercial competitors.
Apparently, Judge Jackson was unmoved by these latest MS theatrics, anyway.

It's a little too late for that now, isn't it? As though Stac et al are the
pathetic failures they appear after savaging by MS. This is not like news of
a new tiger in the jungle eating unwary tourists. A chance at redeeming this
tarnished image was given in 1995 by DOJ but that apparently didn't make one
bit of difference in MS behavior. They were lucky to have it, but just plain
stupid to continuing provoking a large part of the commercial world and have
the inevitable confrontation ensue. As for making the problem worse, that is
neither historically consonant, nor likely if the likes of Red Hat can float
an IPO.
This was all perfectly avoidable. MS *chose* not to, and tough noogies Bill.

At the command line of an xterm enter:

This will take you to a text console without rebooting.

It sounds like you are having the same problem I had with my AGP VGA card
it would not set it up correctly what I ended up doing is going into

Hi,
I'm new to administering NNTP under Linux.
I am looking for a news server product(s) (gnu, shareware, or commercial)
that has the following features:
1. A regular NNTP / Usenet server that service traditional NNTP news reading
clients that runs on RedHat.
2. A web page interface to the same server for users that do not have NNTP
clients
3. A way to password protect either the whole server, or each newsgroup, or
the web page interface.
4 (nice extra). It would be nice if the user authentication mechanism (web
page or built-in to NNTP server) could authenticate users over an LDAP
interface against a user list that was on a separate LDAP server.
Does anybody know of any such products or seen a similar configuration using
a combination of products?
Your advice is greatly appreciated,

Check "man sudo". If you are the only guy using it its great, otherwise
beware of security problems it may introduce. Myself, I just have a virtual

Twister, a commercial product by bCandid software <www.bcandid.com> does
this,
all though I'm not certain about the LDAP piece.

If the filesystem uses the ext2-filetype feature, you would have to
either modify tomsrtbt by adding kernel 2.2.x, or wait for the next
version of tomsrtbt, as tomsrtbt-1.7.185 doesn't suppport it.

The DOS version and the Linux version of the installer create the
*SAME* floppy. The only reasons for the recommendations to use the
Linux installer if you have Linux are 1) it is a smaller download and
2) it is a somewhat easier and more reliable _installer_. But, the
difference is *ONLY* in the installer, they don't create a "different
version of tomsrtbt". Go ahead and use the "DOS version" of it. It
isn't a "DOS version", it is a "DOS installer".

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I did it already...
My solution was, to treat .mpl files as mod_perl scripts, .epl files
as embedded perl scripts, and .pl and .cgi files as simply executables.

Our authentication API allows you to write a program that will talk to an
LDAP server. We have a number of customers using our software to talk to a
variety of things from LDAP, RADIUS, PAM, etc.
Our Linux port is still beta, but our Solaris (Sparc and x86) run great.
The linux port may work for you depending on the amount of load you intend
to put on the machine. We are still fighting scaling issues that relate to
threading under Linux.
Cheers,
