Hello!
I have a problem with LILO which I don't find in any
documentation - more exactly I don't find a
solution neither in docs nor in a newsgroup article.
I installed two Linux distributions SUse and Debian.
Both have their own lilo:
Debian: in /dev/hda5
Suse in /dev/hda4
both are logical Partitions in the extended /dev/hda3
I use a bootmanager (xfdisk) which manages this.
Both logical partions
are below 1024 zylinders (the extended partition
covers the whole disk space)
After doing really nothing (a few days ago I recompiled
the kernel but booting worked after that)
I can't run the debian-system. I get the error-message
LIL-
Yes I know what this means but I don't know what to do.
I reinstalled the lilo from Suse by doing a chroot /DebianRoot
where I mounted the partion, I added LINEAR, always the
same error.
Any ideas?
Some help would be very nice

Hi,
I have trouble make'ing the netatalk software, and there doesn't seem tobe
much support for it. I am trying to get a reliable Linux file and print
server for a mac based desktop publishing network, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I could use a native Linux file /
print system and have the appropriate client software on the Mac side?
Or is netatalk the way to go?
Thanks,
Alex

Subject: mail client for linux to sort incomming messages based on sender email?
Date: 1 Jun 2000 00:50:44 -0700
greetigs;
is there an email client on Linux, that I can setit such that
email comming from certain email address is written to specific
local mail folder? I am using pop3 (ISP), and I subscribe to some mailing
lists that can be very busy, and it will be great if when I download
new email, mail messages will be written to diffeent local mail fodlers
based on sender email automatically (of course I have to configure
it to do so).
if not, at least I'd like to be able to select messages and tell it
to send those to this mail folder...
currently I use netscape for email, but it does not have such a feature.
thanks,
bill

Can't believe it! I'm so stupid...
I have the entry boot=/dev/hda3 in my lilo.conf and so I think it
was just good luck that my Bootmanager found the lilo at
/dev/hda5.
changing to boot=/dev/hda5 leads to working boot behaviour.
Is this possible ? - seems so. I don't know how an extended
disk is organized so I guess that this was the problem.
I hope nobody has wasted (?) his time with my question.

chmod -R is just about the most dangerous command in linux/linux aside from rf

For directories. For files, man find .... I can't remember the file type off

No doubt this will be ones of many replies, but yes netscape mail _can_
do this, try looking at the
"filters" from the "Edit" menu this will do _exactly_ what you are

Subject: "Webcheck" widget
Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2000 10:07:26 +0100
I have just developed a new "desktop assistant" widget (called Webcheck)
to help you find relevant information from the Web. It's written using
gtk and has been tested on a box running Red Hat 6.1 with the Gnome
window manager. It works with KDE and WindowMaker too. You can download
it from:
http://www.webtop.com/webcheck/linuxdownload
The idea is you highlight some text (in any window) and then click on
the widget, which posts the text to the Webtop search engine (maintained
by my colleagues and I; see http://www.webtop.com), which then returns
relevant search results. The advantage over typing into a search box is
that you can highlight whole paragraphs of text and not have to figure
out the best search words.
It'd be great if people could check it out and make comments as this is
really only an early beta version. We've set up a news group
news://nntp.webtop.com/webtop.discuss so comments could be posted there.
Cheers,
Tom

I downloaded gdb and found out, that the getutent() calls returned for
example /dev/tty0 while info states, that getutent() will only return
tty0! As shutdown added an /dev/ to the name it didn't work correctly.
On many systems agetty might be called (in /etc/inittab) like this:
agetty tty0 9600
or something similar. This works. But...
agetty /dev/tty0 9600
does not work. Bah... I fixed it by changing /dev/tty0 to tty0, but
someone else might want to remove the append of the /dev/ from
shutdown.c... I'm not sure about the security implications of that.

Thanks for the suggestions on adjusting the DNS file. Unfortunately it does
not help.
I think the problem is DNS related if it took a long to connect to other
ftp/telnet/http sites from my server.
However, the problem with my server is it is very slow in ANSWERING
ftp/telnet/http requests from other systems. When I ftp back to this server
from Win98, it takes over 3 minutes for the welcoming message to show up. Is
DNS involved in answering ftp and telnet requests?
Any other suggestions? My boss is breathing down my neck. I will try just
about anything logical to fix it fast.
Thanks.

Can't speak for KMail, but Mutt doesn't actually do this itself - the best and
most configurable way of writing filtering rules like this is to use Procmail,
although that may be overkill in this case. As another poster pointed out,
Netscape _can_ do basic filtering.

One of the free ones i have tried is called MiX (or something like that). I cant
remember the exact name. just do a search. Or u can try out the commecial ones
like OmniX or Exceed. I find Exceed is a lot stable than OmniX.
Before u can connect to the linux server, u have to make sure you Linux is
running X-windows. To do that, you have to make some changes in your inittab
file to tell linux to boot to X-windows. There are some comments in that file
itself, and it is pretty self-explanatory.

This is what procmail is for - it sorts messages into folders BEFORE you
run up your client. I use the compination of sendmail, procmail and
pine (All out of the box with redhat).

I don't know Omnix, but Exceed works really fine, at least connecting to

Those icons or whatever are part of whatever theme it is that you're
using. You'll have to go into that theme's directory and hunt around
those files. Maybe look around for an actions.cfg (some themes
have those where apps are defined).
I remember the ShinyMetal theme having icons on the right but I no
longer get those for some reason.

Yeah, but they're gatewayed to usenet, that's why he gets them.
If they're available via usenet then it doesn't matter.

a block device. I tried to insmod the scsi_mod and sr_mod but they
were not found .
I do have append="hdc=ide-scsi" right before root=/dev/hda5.
What I don't understand is why cdrecord and find them and use them and
I can't.
In my kernel I have scsi emulation suport as Y and not M
Under scsi support I have scsi support as Y and scsi generic support
as Y and scsi cd-rom support as Y
Under Filesystems I have iso9660 support as M
Last bit of info: I am running RH6.2 w/kernal 2.2.14
Please help.
