Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 00:04:58 GMT
I recently installed Corel 2ndEdition (into a loopback system). When i
start linux, instead of giving me the 3D-effect Corel/KDE-style login
screen, it give me the flat "Debian/GNU Linux" login. Because of this,
I cant access the shutdown feature in the OS. How can I conf the
system to use the Corel login?

In RedHat, Mandrake, and probably other distributions, there are *two*
crontabs for root. Wierd, but true.
The first is /etc/crontab, it calls various other scripts, such as
"cron.daily". This is a BSD style crontab file, where the user is
specified for each job, right before the command.
The second is /var/spool/cron/root, this is not installed by default,
but running "crontab -e" as root will create it. This is a SysV style
crontab w/o the user specification.
Also, don't forget that ordinary users can have crontab files in
/var/spool/cron. In some environments, you might want all cron jobs that
don't have to be run as root to be run by a non-priviledged
administration account, if you use these crontabs instead of the BSD
style one in /etc.
Someone else noticed an "anacrontab". I just checked and my Mandrake 7.1
machine has this file, and a /etc/rc.d/init.d/anacron, but not the
/usr/bin/anacron which it would start.

depending on how you did your installation seems you do not have the

Can you give some more info on what you are doing ? For an external
modem there is really nothing to setup, other than a link /dev/modem to
the actual device ( /dev/ttyS0 )

As with all modems, anything but a winmodem. I have a hawkings

Well, the only thing that I am "expert" at is what worked for me.
After the boot from floppy routine in ez-bios (just like booting to
dos/win from floppy) the linus install started automatically.
During the install routine (text install, my video card not
automatically supported) Disk druid was automatically invoked. I have a
fujitsu 9Gb drive that ez-bios partitioned into 2+2+2+2+1 partitions. I
had disk druid delete the last three and then created the recommended
linux partitions manually. If you are using RH 6.1 or 6.2 on cd, there
is an ok appendix on disk partitions. Maybe not a FM (Fine Manual) but
probably a FM (Fair Manual) ;)
> What I try now is doing it without EZ-bios.
Are you getting the rated size of the drive? If not, I'd give EZ
another chance. Of course my linux box is a ca. 1994 486DX66. Without
EZ-bios, that 9GB drive reads as 540MB.

I struggled with this for a long time. I finally decided that my worst
case scenario was having to reformat the HD and start from scratch. My
Win3.1 os was safely backed up on another HD and could easily be
reinstalled. What I did is let the Rh install program put lilo on the
MBR. it works fine. (Your Mileage May Vary)

Your second drive was probably /dev/hdb (slave on primary IDE channel)
or /dev/hdc (master on secondary IDE channel).
Boot from an emergency disk (if this is your only Linux machine, you
should be able to create one with rawwrite.exe and an image from a Linux
distribution CD).
Find which device and partition Linux is on with fdisk (be careful not
to write a new partition table!), then mount this partition and run
/<mount_point>/sbin/lilo to reinstall LILO on your first drive. I can't
remember whether any switches are needed for lilo in this usage, maybe
someone else does. It's been several years since I've had to do this.

I'm using C. Scott Ananian's Linux PPTP (VPN) software to connect to the
AT&T fixed wireless broadband service
(http://a.j.schiavone.home.att.net).
I was wondering
if anyone knew of any tweaks to either the PPP daemon or
the PPTP software to allow me to increase the speed.
The AT&T service is advertised as being capable of 64
KBps downstream speed. The maximum speed I have seen
with the Linux PPTP software is 28 KBps. I just recently
patched my kernel to allow me to masquerade Windows
PPTP traffic through the Linux box. With that setup I
can get 56 KBps. So, there's definitely room for improvement
on the Linux PPTP side.
Any thoughts on how to increase the Linux PPP/PPTP
speed or links you can point me to would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
- Tony -

A few thoughts:
1. Try disconnecting from the network and see if the machine will boot
up. If it comes up, you can edit the configuration file directly. And
make a boot disk while you're at it.
2. Try www.trinux.org. I've downloaded a set of disks that enable you
to boot to a version of linux that loads itself into Ramdrives in
memory. Although I've never tried it, you might be able to mount the
hard drive and then edit the configuration file from there.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am using Redhat Linux. When installing an application with
rpm command, you sometimes may experience the following messages:
libfn.so.1 is needed by abc-1.2.3-1.rpm
In this case, installing rpm package including libfn.so.1 and
installing abc-1.2.3-1.rpm, installation of the package will
be successful.
In order to install rpm package with libfn.so.1, the following
search is avaliable from CD-ROM of linux distribution.
rpm -qlp *.rpm | grep libfn.so.1
But this command means I know only if a rpm package in CD-ROM
includes libfn.so.1. I don't know which rpm package libfn.so.1
includes.
Does anyone know how to look for a rpm package including a
specific file?
Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

q to quit
Be carefull not to write anything to the drive with fdisk.
You should be able to see which drive is your winblows. It should be a primary
partition
and start below the 1024 cylinder, If not you got a mighty big problem.
Create a directory
mkdir /winblows
if /etc/fstab put the following
/dev/hda1 /winblows vfat noauto,user 0 2
or any other hda2, hda3 or hda4 that your winblows partition is.
save the file and run
mount /winblows
dir /winblows
should show you your files.
If you can't boot winblows there could be a few reasons
1-Corel install forgot to put winblows on the menu (unlikely)
2-Corel blew your partition table (more likely)
My experience has been that Corel has messed up the partition table by overlapping
certain partitions. If that is the case you should be able to recover the partitions
if you have a copy of the old partition table. The alternative is a bit more
complicated. In my case I was too lazy to do it and I recreated a new dos partition
with
fdisk. When you do that your whole hard disk has to be repartitionned and formated.
I had to do this twice, once Corel Linux blew my partition table and the other time
it was NT 4.0 I have learned so far not to use either pieces of shit.
If you want a good and reliable Linux distribution try SuSE 7.0 Professionnal. This is
the
very best distributions I have used so far. I got pissed off at the version 6.4 but
SuSE
fixed things up in 7.0, it is well worth the upgrade. Even the locales work and I got
my Joual version of Netscape working. It didn't always work under SuSE 6.4 as locales
kept
getting messing up for mysterious reason, even the fix didn't repair anything.

I have yet to find a stable version of the US version of Netscape. An alternative
would be to get the international version of Netscape like the one with SuSE which
is very stable. I can't figure out why they don't have a US version like Mandrake does.
The enforce software doesn't support the stable version of Netscape that comes
with SuSE.

Did you read the bits in Corel's manual about dual/multi-booting? This
sort of thing is extremely easy to do. Here's how you would do it:
If your Linux drive is attached to the primary master (/dev/hda) and
your Lose9x drive is attached to the primary slave (/dev/hdb) then you'd
edit /etc/lilo.conf to look like so, run lilo, and everything should
work as expected the next time you reboot. There is no need to
reinstall Lose9x (this time, that is!)
boot=/dev/hda # install bootloader on MBR of /dev/hda
(...stuff, don't fiddle with it...)
image=/boot/vmlinuz # usual place for it
label=linux
root=/dev/hdaX # your root partition
append="" # append statements go here
other=/dev/hdb1
label=lose
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 # fool Lose9x into booting properly from
map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 # the second hard drive
This should work. HTH, good luck.

?? If you don't get the path exactly right, it won't be recognized. If
the java executable is in /foo/bar/jdk/bin, then the statement would be
export PATH=/foo/bar/jdk/bin:$PATH
and if it's in /usr/local/jdk/bin, then it would be
export PATH=/usr/local/jdk/bin:$PATH
et cetera. If you don't know precisely where it is, then a quick
"locate *java* | more" or "find / -name java -print | more" will tell
you. Do that anyway, so you can make sure you aren't missing something
seemingly innocuous like a typo.
It's possible (though unlikely, I hope) that .bashrc is not being read
or is being overwritten. Try adding the appropriate export= line, then
doing a ". ~/.bashrc" (no need to restart bash) and then "echo $PATH".
$PATH should show up with the right location in it; if not, report back
with what it actually coughed up.
BTW, it's usually "Bollocks". Bullocks are a different animal entirely.
