First of all, configure minicom as root:
minicom -s
Set the communications parameters:
9600/8/N/1. Be sure to turn off Hardware flow control.
Remove the modem initialization string and hangup string.
Select the proper comm port COM1=/dev/ttyS0 COM2=/dev/ttyS1
Save this as the default.
Connect the console port on the cisco router to the proper serial port on your
Linux box.
Now when you run minicom you should be connected to the router. Hit enter a few
times to be sure. If the cable and comm port work under hyperterm they will work
under minicom.
You will need the magic key combination to bring up the minicom control console
(You can use this to configure minicom while it is running).
<CTRL><SHIFT>A
<SHIFT>Z
To leave configuration mode:
<ESC>
For instance:
To Quit minicom:
<CTRL><SHIFT>A <SHIFT>Z X <ESC>
Turn on Line wrap:
<CTRL><SHIFT>A <SHIFT>Z W <ESC>
The minicom folks may have more information:

if you installed linux as a server, the whole HD is formatted and assigned to
Linux
this is explained in the manuals.
sorry for you.
Only thing to do is.
Rerun the installation, go to the part diskdruid, erase all the Linuxpartitions.
Start from a windows bootdisk, rerun fdisk, create the partitions (one for
windows, one for Linux)
install Windows, then install Linux (not the server)
install Lilo

By default when I create a user I set their password field to :*: and then
use passwd to change it. This works on virtually every other *nix system
that I have used, but seems broken on Redhat 6.x (and derived systems like
Mandrake).

I know about shadow passwords but I made a desision not to use them, the

Had a similar problem myself yesterday! Users (running POP3 clients under
Win95) kept getting the same mail over and over from the linux box.
Turned out to be a full disk partition! A large file was left in /tmp by
some experiments with gzipping and tarring earlier in the day. This is with
Redhat 6.0 installed as server (multiply disk partitions created).

I tried both a normal CD and a CD-R CD, it gave the same error. It seems that my
CD-ROM did not exist. But the CD-ROM work when I boot to Winnt.

Subject: xf86config - quantex monitor and intel video card
Date: 16 Jun 2000 14:46:45 GMT
First off I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my last question
about partitioning with fips. The answers were very helpful.
I have successfully installed Debian and am now attempting to run
xf86config from root to set-up X. I have run into several problems
identifying the hardware in my Quantex P3 which I purchased about 5 months
ago.
1) This will probably show my newbie-ness, but in the documentation that
comes with my Quantex XP190A monitor it does not list horizontal or
vertical sync, although there are values for 'horizont and vertical scan
frequencies'. Is this the same as sync? The number listed are 30KHz to 96
KHz for horizontal scan and 50Hz to 180Hz for vertical scan. These numbers
are quite a bit wider in range than the settings listed in xf86config. Can
anyone with some knowledge or a similar monitor tell me if there is a good
preset to use or should I manually enter the above values? Given the stern
warnings that settings an overzealous sync rate can permanently damage my
monitor, I'm reluctant to try anything without some advice.\
2) Looking under control panel in Win98 my video card says Quantex XP190
on Intel810 Chipset Graphics Driver PV2.1. I assume that Intel810 is the
model of the card, however I do not see this listed on the list of video
cards provided with xf86config. Can anyone suggest how I should proceed?
Will I be unable to run X because my hardware is not currently supported?
Anyone with the same card comment?
All responses will be greatly appreciated, as I am (clearly) quite new to
it all.
Thanks,
Ted Schuman

Redhat is very bad at allowing control over install. In my experience
SuSE is very good. I didn't have any problem installing without X. But
any RPM based packet manager will have certain difficulties because it
can't really tell the difference between what it is absolutely necessary
to have from a "it works" point of view and what it is absolutely
necessary to have from a "it is sensible" point of view. (i.e. it
lacks modalities in its understanding of dependency logic).
And of course, if you want to you can rpm or dpkg the packets
individually, or uninstall them one by one afterwards. I installed all
of debian that way back a year ago now, when the 2.1 was very beta and
didn't have a working installer.

I have started to get an error message to the screen when I issue my
system (Slackware v2.2.10) certain commands (top, lsof, ps, w (but not
who) among others) I get the same message no matter what shell I try.
the error message is:
Unknown HZ value! (14) Assume 100.
the value 14 seems to be incrementing on about a 24 hour period
there is no entry into the syslog or messages file. Now I found an
entry in the /etc/login.defs file setting HZ = 100 but it does not seem
to be reading this file.
As far as I can tell, nobody changed anything on the system
Can anyone point me in the direction as to what HZ is/does and how to
fix this problem?

Have you tried running dosemu with debugging messages routed to a file?
You may be able to find what the problem is, and change the appropriate
configuration values to make it run. Do a 'man dos' to find out more
about how to do this.
For example, I have a dos config file with conditionals in it, only
allowing those additional ports, DPMI, etc., that a particular application
needs. You don't want to give dos more than it absolutely needs, or
you will be more vulnerable to one of many dos fragilities!

It is on the distribution CD if you have one or have a friend

Subject: Re: reconstruct software RAID 1
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 15:57:29 GMT
sda2 is an extended partition.
You can have at most 4 primary (== bootable) partitions.
But you can make one of those primary partitions extended, so you can
create partitions in the partition (to be able to make more than 4
partitions).
So you'll need to create an extended partition for sda2. And then you'll
need to make logical partitions on sda2 (fdisk should be able to do
this, although I don't remember how, because I rarely use fdisk).
This is all MUCH easier if you have partition magic, and it's fantastic
bootdisk. But, again, fdisk should be able to make logical partitions on
sda2.
The first logical will become sda5, and the second sda6, and so on ...
It's even so that windows98 can only see one primary partition per disk,
and the rest needs to be extended.
