How do you come to this conclusion? What messages do you get?
Does it say "Sorry, Linux is not supported on this machine", or
something similar? Where did you install LILO? Do you get the
LILO: prompt? Did you get error messages running /sbin/lilo?
Could you create Linux native partitions on the disk? What
distribution are you using (if any), will the installer boot
(from floppy or CDROM)? Does the installer see your hard
disk(s)? Can it read the partition table on the disk?
So many questions, so little information...
Cheers
Steffen.

If the system has been "CRACKED" then the only way to be sure there are
no backdoors or changed files left on the system would to do a clean
install and format all partitions on the system. Then secure the system
before putting it back on the network. Here is a link that will help get
you started toward a secure the system.

Subject: Repartitioning an existing Linux Mandrake 6.1 system - Help needed!
Date: Mon, 01 May 2000 09:06:05 GMT
When trying to upgrade a Mdk 6.1 to mdk 7.02 system I got an error
message
something like this:
'Package needs 30 mb on /mnt'
The disk is prepared to serve 3 different systems Linux/Windows NT 4/
Windows98.
The linux system is partitioned like this
hda5 /boot 15Mb used 26%
hda6 / 106Mb used 62%
hda11 /usr 3800Mb used 41%
hda12 /home 1900Mb used 8%
hda13 /var 1800Mb used 6%
Now I need to increase the space on the '/' partition and
all space on disk are already allocated so I think it would
be best to move some space from the /var-partition.
How shall I proceed?
Thank's in advance for all possible help.

Whoops, I guess if you're reading this comp.os.linux.misc it wouldnt
make much sense, I originally only intended to post to an Oracle newsgroup.
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 which for reasons best know to themselves
uses an installer written in Java *spit* which isnt working.

When you say it will not boot "free OS" systems, do you mean it won't
boot a RedHat installation floppy/CDrom or just that it won't boot LILO?
There are several of these new BIOSes floating around (to date I've only
heard of them it laptops) that are brain damaged and won't boot LILO.
This doesn't appear to be a case of malficense on the part of computer
manafacturer, more like ignorance on the part of BIOS programers in
basic assumptions about the future use of the BIOS. Fortunately, other
"LILO" like boot loaders like Chos do work.

Hi root,
First of all, I strongly suggest you change your name from "root" to
something a little less generic, since we're all linux users and all
(well most) logged in on the "root" account on our machines. I've never
used "slm" but there should be an option there somewhere to change your
display name... If not, go to a shell prompt and type "chfn" <ENTER> and
at the "Name:" prompt enter something resembling your name and/or alias.
Ok, that out of the way, I got fed up with the licq rpm and ended up
installing from the source. The biggest problem I found was that I use
the KDE desktop environment which wants QT 1.4x while licq 0.81 wants
QT 2.x - fortunately you can install both QT 1.4x and 2.x at the same
time (i didn't really want to know how that works, i just went with the
flow)... First, download the latest QT rpm and use "rpm -ivh --force
QT2.whatever.the.package.name.is.rpm"... if you then use "rpm -q qt" you
should see both 1.4x and 2.x installed.
Next get the source from www.licq.com and untar it (tar -zxvf
licq.tar.gz)
Go to your licq directory created in the above procedure (currently
licq-0.81) and do "make" followed by "make install". This will install
licq and it's help files. Next you need to install the qt interface, so
go to the plugins subdirectory of licq-0.81 (or whatever) and repeat the
above procedure ("make" then "make install") and it *SHOULD* work.
If it doesn't, I don't care.

Subject: Gnome for RedHat: is it still there?
Date: Mon, 01 May 2000 07:42:29 -0400
I know this has been rehashed many times, but I have a more up-to-date
question:
Has Red Hat fixed most of the bugs in gnome since the 6.0 release? Or
is gnome still around? No real mention of it on the RedHat website.
I am about to set up my first production end user installation of Linux,
so I have to install a windowing system as well.... I'd prefer the
out-of-the-box solution since it's easier and quicker and cheaper to
replicate.
I know Red Hat, I feel comfortable with Red Hat, so I really don't want
to change distros nor start a holy war.
Thanks for any comments.

but 500 plus was used by Red Hat 6.2. The full installation of WP 2000 is

Subject: Norton Anti-Virus Trashed Your MBR?
Date: Mon, 01 May 2000 12:33:42 GMT
<html>
<body>
If Norton Anti-Virus in Windows$ trashed your Master Boot Record by
belatedly telling you that "your master boot record has been modified"
due to a suspected virus - indeed it has, when you installed linux - and
all your extended linux partitions are seeming gone, you can do the
following:
In the Norton Anti-Virus configuration, under the Scanner tab:
under What to Scan, uncheck "Master boot record" and "Boot Records".
Now, to recover your partition table:
Get Tom's root/boot diskette from:
<a href="http://www.toms.net/rb/home.html">tomsrtbt home page</a>
and run the batch file to create the diskette.
Also, get gpart, which is a partition table recovery tool for Linux
from:
<a href="http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/7620/gpart">gpart - Guess
PC-type hard disk partitions</a>
This tool can find identify and find your lost partitions.
Put the statically linked linux binary on a diskette.
You can mount the gpart disk you have created from Tom's root/boot Linux
by typing:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
at the command prompt after you have put in the gpart diskette.
Now, type cd /mnt and run the version of gpart for Linux that you put on
a diskette.
Once gpart tells you at what blocks your Linux extended and swap
partitions reside, you can recreate them using fdisk.
Also, run lilo /mbr to put LILO (the Linux boot loader) back in your
master boot record.
It is possible to completely recover all your Linux extended partitions
this way without any loss of data!

Are you talking about an entry in a menu under some window manager or other?
Edit the menu configuration. Depends on the window manager in question.
If you managed to get RH inside 500MB, I would be flabbergasted. I was unable
