I agree with this on modern hardware, but on old sun hardware that sun
no longer supports, I'd rather go with a current release of redhat.
In fact, I just recommended to someone that he consider putting redhat
on his old sun4c firewall instead of solaris 7 today - since solaris 8
is out, and solaris 7 is going to be grungy before long.

Hi!
I suggest that you copy your 2:nd sector-by-sector with some
mirroring software (like Norton ghost or something). Anything who
creats your ext2 and swap partitions and copies all your files.
Then can you mount your copied partirions (on the 2:nd) and make them
avaible. for example as /mnt/backup-root, /mnt/backup-usr depending
how many and how you have partioned your first drive.
then get som mirroring software. I found something named mirrordir.
(http://www.obsidian.co.za/mirrordir/) that mirror directorys.
ex:
mirrordir /usr /mnt/backup-usr
Use cron to make the updates automatically.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.

The basic problem is that you cannot soft-copy a running system without
getting minor or major differences. This is, cause the copy takes time in
which the system will change.
You can dd you drives each night and hope, that the resulting erros will
reolve itself during e2fsck when booting from the 2nd disk.
Or you dd the unmounted drive one time (boot with a bootdisk in example)
and then try to keep your drive updated with a daily cronscript including
copy and diff.
I dont have an idea, why it shouldnt work, but somehow it doesnt sound
perfect and you�ll never have the guarantee that it will boot until you
need to try it out.
Why dont use some hardware-raid ?

Quicken runs fine using vmware. More specifically, Win98 or Win NT (and,
though I haven't tried it, Win2000) and their native applications run fine
under vmware. The disadvantage: cost of vmware and requirement for
reasonably fast machine (200 mHz pentium II or faster) and sufficient
memory (128 Meg). Advantage: virtually all windows-based applications run
fine in a window of your linux system.

NetBSD runs better on the sun4c arch, and will continue to do so until
linux sorts out it's sun4c MMU handling code.
For a small sun4c firewall I'd recommend OpenBSD with ipfilter.

Eh? what modes? I type "r" to reply. "g" to "group reply". "f" to
"forward". I scroll up and down with a cursor. I hit <enter> to
read a message. Seems perfectly intuitive and straightforward to me.
I'm afraid you are maybe mixing up kmail with elm. Kmail, being a gui,
has modes. That is, the same actions (clicking with a mouse, for
example), have different effects in different contexts.
Elm is also a gui, and thus also has modes, but can use considerably
more input vocabulary, being keyboard driven and not mouse driven.
Thus its modality is not so evident, since you scarely ever use the same
lexicon in different modes, let alone the same command to mean two
different things. Personally I don't have any trouble with context
dependent languages anyway, so I don't even care.

Subject: win2k and lilo
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2000 20:17:45 +0200
Hello,
I have tried to use lilo in order to make the boot of Win2000 but he does
not work and I have tried to use the bootloader of Win2000 for booting
Linux but the nothing (to keep in mind that on another PC I have WinNT4 and
Linux 6.1 RedHat and use the boot loader of NT without problems). I have
installed lilo 21.4.3 after the 1024 cylinder and all is OK in the sense
that if at the prompt of lilo I make to run Linux goes all good but if I
make to run Win2000 nothing, the lilo prompt reappear. On the PC I have 2
disks, one SCSIUltra2 (IBM 20GB) and one ATA66 (IBM 20GB), under Win2000 the
SCSI disk is C and the ATA disk is D. C is formatted NTFS and D is
formatted FAT (between the other this last one comes regularly mounted under
Linux). C is the boot disc of Win2000. Before installing I have
partitioned the disks: C all for Win2000 (sigh!! cursed job), D 10 GB Linux
(2 partitions: root and swap) and 10 GB for a FAT partition. During the
installation of Win2000 I have said to format all C like NTFS and the
partition of 10 GB on D as FAT. I wanted that ALL Win2000 was on C and
nothing on the FAT on D, instead the cursed one has installed Win2000 all on
C except the bootloader NTLDR, the file boot.ini etc that instead have them
putting on the FAT on D. I have tried to modify lilo.conf but with not
resolutive outcomes.
Thanks to anyone me wants to answer
Stefano
... sorry for the english!!!
N.B.
At the LILO prompt if I type win2k (that is the label that I have
specified in lilo.conf) I get the message NTLDR NOT FOUND.

Hi Guys,
I was wanting to try the latest Turbo Linux Server package. I located an
archive that offers the disk images in CD image format , and downloaded
them.
These file names are :
TLS-6.0.4.en.INSTALL.iso 478,160,955 bytes
TLS-6.0.4.en.INSTALL.iso.md5sum 59 bytes
I was hoping to use Adaptec Easy CD Deluxe 4 to burn these to a CDR , ....
not having dealt with this type of image before, I'm unab;e to get the task
completed. I was hoping that I would be able to tell CD Creator to burn the
CDR from an image. However, CD Creator is wanting a *.cid format as an
image. This would be a great solution for an evaluation compared to buying
off the shelf.
Has anybody been here before that can advise on the best method of creating
an installable package ?
TIA,

I don't think there's anything from USR. There are some other

I believe there's also a KDE program called kpilot.

I personally use Jpilot. I don't have the URL with me at the moment,
but it's worked great for me, and is supposedly more stable than
Kpilot. You can do a lookup on it at http://www.freshmeat.net .
