Hi all. I'm new to the forum. I know you've been discussing about some
problems with Lilo but I haven't found anything about my problem.
I don't have much experience with this OS. I need to change LILO's
default boot OS. I've been told that I have to change lilo.conf
sequence but here's my problem:
The size of /etc/lilo.conf is 0 bytes. I don't know what the person
that worked before did.
How can I find out where's the configuration file LILO is using? I
suspect of a file i found, but when I open it with VI or ED it shows a
lot of other characters that make me difficult to edit them (I don't
see a plain ASCII file for example)
Thanks in advance

Subject: Danger in running fsck on a mounted filesystem
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 12:31:50 -0400
Friends,
I installed LM6.1 on a friend's machine the other day and
amazed myself at how good I'm getting at installing and
configuring. I was just in the process of drawing to my
friend's attention just how great I am when something odd
occurred the likes of which I've not seen before! (Darn, I
hate it when that happens...)
When booting into Linux, I got the error message that
"running fsck on a mounted filesystem can cause SEVERE
damage" and did I want to continue with that? Well, I typed
no and it booted okay but it tries to fsck the mounted root
partition each time it boots up.
Obviously, I figured it must be a switch in some config file
that I tweaked inadvertently that's causing it to do that.
So, I checked /etc/fstab and the ext2 partitions are listed
with 1 2 in the fifth and sixth slot with the exception of
the root partition which is 1 1. According to fstab this is
correct. One of the O'Reilly books said that
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit calls the fsck process and I sort of
scoured through that file but I can't quite piece together
what might be wrong.
Has anyone had this experience before? Which file(s) do you
suggest I check to stop this strange behaviour from making
me look like a fool in front of my friend? ;-)

To mount your disk partition, use
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
I can't help you with vi, as I haven't needed to configure
an Emacs with vi for many years, and that is the only thing
I've ever used it for... Maybe ed works?
Once you have mounted your root partition, it is possible
to use whatever you then have in /mnt/bin or /mnt/sbin,
and maybe (if you do not have a separate /usr partition,
though just mounting it on /usr or /mnt/usr would cure
that problem too) what is in /mnt/usr and /mnt/usr/sbin.
Some rescue disks already have /mnt in the path, some don't.
You can just add to PATH or use the complete path name when you
want to run something, like /mnt/bin/emacs, for example. ;-)

Acrobat files use a non standard version of jpeg files, so you need the
jpegsrc tarball.
I just got GNU-Ghostscript a few days ago, untarred jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
into the gs source directory and it worked fine.
One other thing, I installed gs into /usr/local/ but Redhat filter file
/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter did not put /usr/local/bin in the path which
made printing ps files fail silently.

Subject: Bizarre network behavior after reboot
Date: 20 Jun 2000 12:53:13 -0400
I rebooted my system after noticing that the power supply fan wasn't
turning. (I have a big fan pointed at the open system right now.)
After rebooting, I found unfixable errors on a FAT partition, but no
problems with the e2fs ones. However, now certain functions don't
work correctly. Notably:
-innxmit can't connect to innd, although innd is running.
I can download news articles with suck, but I can't get
them fed to my local news server.
-fetchmail can connect to external POP servers, but after
downloading a few bytes, it freezes and eventually times
out
-Local browsers can't connect to my local web proxy
(wwwoffle)
Oddly, although telnet (ssh) to a particular machine works,
connections to that same machine with fetchmail fail. I can also
read web pages, if I don't try to use the inaccessible local proxy.
What could cause this? Someone suggested a power-related hardware
failure, but I can't think of any component that would block *local*
connection to daemons, and throttle POP connections over my cable
modem, but permit ssh and telnet to external hosts (but *not* to
localhost).

It will be easier when: Linux is as easy to setup, maintain & use as
Windows, most software is written for Linux, most hardware comes with
drivers for Linux...
Because most organizations have to hire & pay people to setup, maintain
and run their systems, Linux is very expensive.

You sound and even said that you know about nothing about linux. How do
you suspect to write a good article if you know nothing about the
subject matter. If I were you I would read a thick book on linux install
it, play around with it for 3 months then you might be able to write a
well informed article about it. But until you know your subject matter
the article will basically suck.

Well, that's just a little naive. Security in not
an issue if the computer is locked in a vault to
which no one has the key and is not connected to
any network. Otherwise, it's a concern. If a

with that password could easily nuke your HD.

Maybe I should have said what this article is about. Anyway it's not
going to be very technical. It's more to do with an instance of
corporate culture being "infiltrated" by Linux culture. I just happen to
be curious and technically minded and don't mind asking stupid

you can just use linux to write a DOS (FAT16) floppy and then read
that with Windows. you can also tell linux about your FAT partitions
and let it write the file directly (you need to change /etc/fstab/ and
use umask to set the rw privileges).

Linux is -far- easier to maintain than Windows. The software I need
works great, and the hardware I want works great.

Most organizations have to do that for Windows machines as well. We
have a part-time NT admin who calls in an consultant at least once a
month for 'hard' things.... for one NT machine supporting a dozen
users. I maintain 7 or so Linux and Solaris machines as well as a
pile of other stuff (from routers to terminal servers) supporting a
few thousand users. Which costs more per user?
(I could even save the company more money if I stayed at home... since I
can do virtually everything from my desk at home, but they like seeing
me here...)

Big question: Does the machine shut down correctly? If so, no serious
problem... but there's no reason why fsck should be run on every single
boot! I think the problem can be solved by adding the following line to
/etc/lilo.conf before any image= lines and then rerunning lilo.
read-only
This will mount the root filesystem read-only first, allowing fsck to run
and fix whatever problem it thinks exists. (You can fsck a read-only
filesystem with much less risk of severe damage.)
