Hi.
Thanks for replying and explaining. :) I'll ask my ISP what their
nameservers are.

it stops just after the hd optimalisations? Same problem here..
to uninstall: boot dos/windows, type 'fdisk /mbr', then reboot and
use fdisk and format to repartition and reformat the linux partition
with fat32.

P.S. but maybe you should try to fix the problem?

gettys don't run for TCP/IP connections; instead a program called
inetd handles them. This is configured in the file /etc/inetd.conf,
and access control in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny - you
should be able to 'man' those files for more info.

I'm sorry, this must have been asked a million times!
But anyway, I've put winlinux 2000 on my computer at work, and it's
great, easy to use, but won't recognise the network!
i ping other computers on the network and it says unknown host.
I check the routing table and about 20 nodes say connected,
i use the command ripquery and it says command not found.
I've looked up a file ifcfg-eth0 like someone suggested, and nothing
was found.
I did ifconfig and it gave a loada info, including RX packets:14090, TX
packets 12, txqueulen:100 Interrupt:15, Base address:0x200 MTU:1500,
Metric:1 with other values at zero.
i looked at the previous replies to network unreacable and tried
ifconfig up and down, and it did nothing.
The folder /lib/modules containts only a folder 2.2.13/
If you have any ideas, please help! i'm very inexperienced with Linux.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It is great that you have done this before.
The point that made me lost in gdb for seperate files is the functions.
Say, if a prog calls another function which is in another file, how can
I trace this function? Do I need to load this two seperate files
together into gdb or by some other means? Or I just need simply to load
the main prog not the files containing the subroutines?
Thank you for sharing your experience.

I wasn't saying the "Linux guys" invented this stuff. But, I probably should have
added
that doing this with any other OS wouldn't be as much fun, and wouldn't be as stable.

Subject: Aorta or another taskmanager for LINUX?
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 19:24:40 +0200
Hi!
I am a new LINUX user and I'd like to find organization tools such as a
task manager. Searching over the Internet, I found a suite called
"aorta". Unfortunately, it seems that the development of this suite was
abandonned in 1998 without leaving any version that can be used.
Does anyone know if this suite still exists (with another name for
instance) or if there exists an equivalent suite or task manager? A
good definition of what I call a task manager is given here:
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/aorta/docs/task_manager_design.txt .
Thanks in advance,
Didier

try /sbin/route to examine the route tables, if there is no default
route try:
/sbin/route add default eth0
which should solve most of your problems. This should be somewhere
in the startup scripts, but it gets messed up a lot.

I have a similar story, but to be brief the solution was to never ever put a
