Yes to both questions. There are various HOWTO documents on
multi-booting Linux. If you want lots more information on multi-booting,
check my book, _The Multi-Boot Configuration Handbook_,
http://www.rodsbooks.com/multiboot/.
> What Linux OS should I use? What's the diff. from Red Hat to Mandrake?
Mandrake is a modified Red Hat -- Mandrake uses Pentium optimizations,
so its a little faster on modern hardware, and it's got a few different
packages. For my thoughts on various Linux distributions, check
http://www.rodsbooks.com/distribs/.

Delete all the partitions on the disc and recreate the partitions with
use of the listing you previously stored, so all the partition
boundaries are restored as they were. With fdisk -l you get a listing of
cylinder numbers were the partitions and/start. Wouldn't try it on a
disc with valuable data if I were you, but it should work, and hey, if
you got your partition table corrupted, it might be the thing to save
you when all else failed.

Subject: lilo from diskette
Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 14:42:57 GMT
I want to migrate a whole linuxsystem (on a 1GB-disk) from a newer machine
to a old machine with a bios that only can handle disks up to 528MB.
I really dont want to play around with all these non-functional
diskmanagers to trick out this bios-limit.
I just want install lilo on a 1,44-diskette and boot up my system with it.
All disk-images I found are rescue-disks that boot up their own kernel and
allow to continue booting your system later. I just want to have lilo on
the diskette to handle control over to the kernel on the harddisk.
Is it possible and how can it be done ?
thanks,
peter
ps: of course I tried to run lilo on the harddisk itself, but it ends up
with LI and no LO: is following on booting :-( and I need a quick fix for
this problem.

Subject: Samba and 2 networks
Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 15:03:28 GMT
Hi,
I've got a Linux server with Samba running (with two network interfaces)
between two different networks.
If I get on a computer on network 192.168.1.x and access a computer on
192.168.0.x, it does not let me access that second computer by its normal
name (i.e. \\computername\).
It only lets me access it, wierdly, through, for example, \\192.168.0.2\ -
but this way to get into the SMB shares seems somewhat slow - how can I get
it to let me access \\computername\ between networks?
P.S. http://computername/ works fine between the networks, SMB does *not*.
Any suggestions? Thanks...

Holy flamewars Batman!
<flame>Everyone knows that mail is the ultimate MUA, and if you can't
happily read news using sed and more, you should go back to playing with
toy computers.</flame>
The reason that there are so many different programs for mail and news is
because individual needs and preferences vary. Not everyone likes emacs,
not everyone is well-served by it. Not everyone likes mutt or slrn; some
people would be much better served by pine than mutt. (If you get 3 or 4
email messages a week, it hardly seems worth it to learn anything more
complicated.)
As long as your programs send email and news messages in standard (plain
text with sensible line breaks) format, no one will care which program you
use except you, and no one will be able to tell you which one you'll like
best without knowing anything about you.

Well,
that means some process is still in that mounted filesystem active.
Check your shells, if one of them is cd-ed in that directory, e.g.
lech: /mnt/cdrom %
or worse, you've started a process out of such a shell.
You have to leave the shell before.

Can you tell me how to route the second cable IP eth2 to another

Subject: Help! root directory mounted as readonly. What to do?
Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 09:37:30 -0700
Hi folks,
I have a problem: My Compaq Presario 1215 laptop with
RedHat 6.0, Kernel 2.2.5-15 on it has been forced to
shut off because the battery went empty and I forgot
to plug in the power adaptor soon enough. When I tried
to reboot it, it didn't mount the harddisk as
read/writeable such that no file can be opened or
written on the hd. Excerpt:
--
autorun...
... autorun done
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
--
So, the file mtab cannot be written, for example.
That's bad and I don't know how to unmout and remount
it writeable. In linuxconf I get the error message:
"modprobe: cannot locate module block-major-8" and
"modprobe: cannot locate module block-major-48".
Any change in linuxconf won't be committed.
fstab looks ok:
--
/dev/hda5 / ext2 exec,dev,suid,rw,usrquota 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
--
the existing mtab shows the root dir as "rw" but
in fact it isn't:
--
/dev/hda5 / ext2 rw,usrquota 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0622 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
--
The other problem is that no log files can be written
to the disk which makes it almost impossible to debug
the thing.
Anybody out there who has a clue how to proceed?
Looking forward to answers and thanks in advance - David.
