Since I use the code from the dri project (XF4) and formerly the rpms
from rawhide of XF4, it seems that something get messed up there ?
I think so.....
Thanks for your reply I am going to check that.

I think if the DNS configurated with no problem, when I use nslookup to check

That's not what it means.
The FIRST time it checks with another nameserver, it knows the
association is correct. The NEXT time, it's giving you the information
out of its own cache, so it's not really sure about it.... that's why
it says "non-authoritative".

But on this URL I dont see Slacware 4. or kernel 2.2.4.

Try going to single user mode as you boot up. Hit the CapLock
or whatever key you normally use just as the "LILO" prompt comes
up, and it should halt and wait for your input. Type a TAB to
get a list of available kernels. Assuming you have done the usual,
and the default is called "linux", enter "linux single" and hit
the return key.
The result should be that you boot into single user mode. From
that you can repair whatever damage you have done to cause your
problem.
It appears that you have somehow instructed it to default to a
runlevel for which you do not have a getty process running for
the console. Initially, use "more" to inspect your /etc/inittab
file. If you find the problem, only then should you edit it. I
would also advise that you first make a copy of what you have
now, so that you don't get deeper into the muck!
Anyway, for whatever runlevel you are expecting to be in, to
get a login prompt you need to see an entry something like this
in your /etc/inittab
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
Generally you will see maybe six lines just like that,
except the "c1" identifier will be "c2", "c3" etc. and the
"tty1" will also change. Note the list of numbers directly
after the "c1". That is a list of run levels at which this
is effective. And the "respawn" means it will be run again
if the process dies.
Another entry you want to look at is one that looks like
this,
id:5:initdefault:
That specifies runlevel 5 as the default at boot time.
Just be *very* sure of what you are doing with the inittab file!
I would advise that you find another linux box and make a bootable
rescue disk. The fact is that even experts make mistakes messing
with the inittab file and end up having to edit it from a rescue
disk. The same is true of editing other parts of the boot process,
such as files in /etc/rc.d which can be just as fatal.

Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 16:35:18 GMT
Dear people,
Previous experience with Linux minimal, but would be interested in
learning some networking skills. Need some help re: making of
decisions.
Am currently setting up a multiboot system with Win 98SE, Win2k and
Linux on following system - Athlon 700 Asus K7V mobo
Maxtor 20.4 GB master
Maxtor 10.2 GB slave.
How would you personally partition the drives? I hear that Linux likes
living on a drive by itself. Will there be problems in the paritioning
between the FAT32 file system for Win 98SE and the NTFS system for Win
2k on the same drive?
Thanks.

You can use Linux fdisk, but you must follow DOS rules. Dos can only
see one primary partition and one extended partition with logical
partitions inside it. DOS is not IDE compliant (can't do 4 primary
partitions or 3 primary plus one extended).

a few weeks ago when I first installed RH 6.2 and tried recompiling the

Subject: HTTP request sent; waiting for response
Date: 15 Jun 2000 09:45:17 -0700
I've got the following problem:
Some web servers will not respond to requests coming from my linux
machine, but they will respond to requests coming from a server at school.
I'm connected to my ISP (the university) via PPP. I've tried Netscape,
Lynx, and telnet, and all three give the same result: they connect to
the server, but receive no response. On my machine at school
everything works fine. For example, I can do a
telnet www.egroups.com 80
and then type
GET / HTTP/1.0
from home, and nothing happens. I do the same thing from school and I get a
response right away. Netscape and Lynx both say "waiting for
response..." indefinitely.
Can anyone suggest how to start debugging this problem? -chris

Try "linux 3" or "linux 1" at the LILO: prompt. Then edit
/etc/inittab to change the default runlevel.

Subject: spontaneous read-only mailbox folders
Date: 15 Jun 2000 16:48:56 GMT
This morning I was informed that one of my users' inboxes had become read only
and she could not delete any of the mail in her box. I subsequently found
that all of the users had the same problem, even root. I looked at the
permissions of /var/log/spool/mail, and they all look right, though I'm not
sure what the higher-up folders permissions should be. Any insight would be
appreciated. I run RH 5.0 on a P166.
Thanks a bunch,
