It still leaves us with the problem that a conventional-looking Linux

Was that done by the CS/EEE folk? If it hid at Engsoc, then I'd
likely not have seen it, as I mostly hung around MC. [Between brothers

Yup. Probably a slick idea for a router, so long as you're prepared
to pay the price.

To be sure: is this the normal way to boot from floppy when EZ-bios is
installed?
Where do I have to install lilo? I suppose that installation in MBR gives
troubles, or does lilo install itself then in another sector, and does EZ-
bios recognise this?

Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 21:53:54 +1200
I have a P-166 with 64MB of RAM.....and a spare IDE ZIP floppy drive
(roughly 97MB capacity). I'd like to install a basic Linux sytem on the
ZIP floppy that would support my ethernet card and a text-based user
interface. I'd actually like to run the command line version of the SETI
@ Home client on this wee system.
An alternative would be to boot the system from a CD and use the ZIP
floppy as writeable storage - perhaps the swap file could go there.
Anyone done this?

Sure, because (as mentioned before in this thread) the hostname
can't be resolved.

Well, partially it is. Add your local hostnames to c:\windows\hosts
and/or /etc/hosts on the Linux box. That way, telnet will not try to
resolve your hostnames via rDNS queries.

I've never heard of a Zip floppy. Do you mean the 100 Mb Zip disk?
ZipSlack is supposed to run on a 100 Mb Zip disk, and it is very easy to install.

It probably means you've reached the limit to the number of files allowed on

True, but that doesn't mean that someone else can't eventually fill his

Correct the typos here; "172.178" should be "172.18"... and begin your
pool at 172.18.122.3 since 172.18.122.2 is already assigned (statically)

I am trying to get port forwarding for CUSeeMe and am
working throught the process and having problems.
I am using Redhat 6.1 with kernel 2.2.12-20. I am loaded the
latest ipmasqadm rpm package.
I have the appended the following to the bottom of my

I am getting masquerading working fine. My internal
machines are accessing the Internet OK
EXCEPT----I am not getting CuSeeMe to forward to my internal
machine on my network.
I am getting an error when Linuxconf runs at startup:

I know that 6.1 with kernel 2.2.12-20 has all these
functions built in. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I see that I have a number of subdirectories in my
/etc/rc.d directory called:
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d

The Red Hat website says an mpeg video viewer is included in the
distribution, i can't find it. where is it, what's the name of the program? I
only see mpg123, the mp2/mp3 player.
If it is not in the distribution, where can i find the player?
thanks.

Use a symbolic link (ln -s) instead. Hard links for dirs are not supported
because there would be the chance of cyclic directories which would break
a lot tools.

Subject: kernel checklist, anyone?

A bemused linux newbie writes:
Hi.
I've been attempting to compile my own kernel recently, because
my 'puter was stuck with v2.2.10. First off, I'd like to admit, quite
freely that I have not had a single success in getting 2.2.11 to run.
Anyway, my question is does anyone know of a checklist of base stuff
that absolutly, definatly has to be in there in order to at least get
my kernel to boot? I don't care about getting the more extraneous
hardware working (IR port, etc...) just yet, I'm just getting a bit put
off by the kernel panic message (sometime it dosen't even do that, and
just get caught in a loop repeatedly dumping me back at the LILO
prompt).
