The 6G hdd is more than enough to run linux with everything, even if you have
to leave half of it for the other os. The problems come with trying to
re-partition the disk, especially if you want the other os to be there when
you are finished.
I have just installed Debian potato on a separate drive and it works
perfectly. Also, I put a fat32 partition on the Linux drive so I can back up
the other os here. A Linux partition on the other drive for the vice versa.
Since I had quite a few problems with the dual boot arrangement a few months
ago, I chose to leave the other os as the primary boot on drive C this time,
while I boot up Linux using a boot floppy. The whole thing works like a
charm, and I've got room for all the partitions I want. Recommended. G.

Hi,
thanks for all the tips, I finally found out it was the startkde-script that
initialized LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I needed some paths added in order to get a
robotics-program running and do so now in /etc/profile. Anything wrong about
that? It does not suffice setting the path in /home/<user>/.bashrc since i
need root permissions when working.

Hello,
somebody knows how I can configure my PC (Linux)
to put through a telephone call to another site ?
I have ISDN (two lines) with an ISDN-card and
an analog adapter for old analog telephones an modems.
I want to dial xxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyy
where xxxxxxxx is the number of my PC
and yyyyyyyy is the number the PC has to
put through.
The aim is to save money: calls from handy to special numbers
(like my home area with my PC)
are very cheap as well as ALL calls from home (my PC) to
somewhere else by wire (non-radio).
Has somebody an idea how to realise? Are there perhaps only
Windows tools for this?
thx

You don't have to do that. All you need is to repair the boot sector.

Use bootpart.exe to start Linux via the NT bootloader.

Using Linux, this is actually irrelevant, as the kernel ignores the
setUID bit on non-setUID aware shells.
Nonetheless it is a very bad idea to begin with, as it opens
up too many security risks . If you really need to have certain
commands running as superuser, use "sudo" for this task.

If I remember right you need to delete ./mozilla in your home direcotry
(rm -r ~/./mozilla).
Make sure to save your Bookmarks in a different place before doing this.

hmm... yes it already worked (as I wrote) to mkdfs the entire disk but
the block size of the mo is an hardware matter, so I can't fake it to be a
1024 if I really need to do partitioning before mkfs. Anyway, I found out
that partitioning with fdisk behaves badly on every 2k block dev, while
there is an option to tell it to avoid the problem. Thank u anyway

Subject: Sendmail 8.8.7 and ip_allow?
Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 07:08:12 -0500
I have sendmail 8.8.7 on a Redhat 7
I first configured sendmail using the linuxconf gui, and had one
problem:
I need to allow a particular machine inside the network to
relay. It's an unfortunate machine; a server using the 192.1.2.1
ip address. That server has been replaced by a new
server/network, with everything in 192.168 range. The old server
has to keep running for another month or so, and rather than
change its ip, we put it through a router so that people can
temprarily use both servers.
So- on the new network the Redhat machine does mail. The Windows
machines all go through that; everything is fine. But- the old
server has one app that sends mail, and its sendmail is pointing
through an old uucp link that we want to take down (the new Linux
server goes through a frac T1). So, I changed its DS entry to
point at the Linux server, and added 192.1.2. (with trailing dot)
to /etc/mail/ip_allow.
The Linux sendmail refuses to relay for that server. I tried
adding it as a specific host- 192.1.2.1 -, I tried it both
through Linux conf and by manual editing, and I even manually
restarted sendmail but it kicks back anything it gets from that
old server.
Something I'm missing?

This does not help, the start-up scripts create a new ~/.mozilla/ folder
and breaks:

AutoMigration failed. Let's create a default 5.0 profile.

Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 14:01:00 +0100
Hi!
Assuming that many application need a sendmail daemon running on
localhost (correct me if thet's not the case), I had following idea:
I could redirect sendmails ports to my server.
I wouldn't have to build, configure and maintain a copy of sendmail and
it would save me some ram as well. In addition, it's one less spot for
attacks.
At the same time, application would feel like having their sendmail up
and running.
Is that applicable? I would try it myself, but my system needs some work
until I can install some of the applications I have in mind.

What is the problem? My old machine has two hard drives, a 1.6 GByte
one and a 4.3 GByte one. When I had enough of Windows, I bought the
cheapest hard drive I could find, which was the 4.3GByte one, and
installed Red Hat Linux 5.0 on it (since upgraded to 6.0). The 6.0
version runs the X Window System and GNOME/Enlightenment, said to be
hogs, and yet that system looks like this at the moment:
touchl:jdbeyer[~]$ df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb13 1080454 703000 321630 69% /
/dev/hdb1 23300 5285 16812 24% /boot
/dev/hdb5 1624230 72294 1467998 5% /data
/dev/hdb7 272145 54168 203922 21% /home
/dev/hdb6 497667 330525 141440 70% /opt
/dev/hdb12 101075 22 95834 0% /tmp
/dev/hdb9 139962 86462 46273 65% /usr/src
/dev/hdb8 124407 16788 101195 14% /var
/dev/hda1 1584320 799136 785184 50% /w95
/dev/hdb is the 4.3 Gigabyte drive and /hda is the Windows drive.
/dev/hdb also has two 125 Megabyte swap partitions on it. (BTW, were I
starting over, I would not partition that system quite this way.)
133000 blocks of / are for the programs for IBM's DB2 rdbms in
/usr/IBMdb2, so your requirements are likely to be that much less.
/data is for the actual database of DB2. Chances are that you could
use that space more profitably for something else.
So if you can partition your Win98 partition down to 1.6 GBytes, you
should have lots of room for Linux.

Mandrake or SuSE are excellent Newbie dists. Either will install easily
without requiring hours of learning. You should, however, be familiar with
the UNIX style of environment before plunging in headfirst. If you don't,
you'll have the OS installed and running but you won't have the faintest
idea what to do with it.
No distribution will allow you to run your games in their present form. That
would be like trying to run a Windows game on a Mac. The way Linux is
organised is completely different from Windows. The software is not
interchangeable. There are however, certain programs that will allow you to
do a certain amount of limited work (or play) with Windows programs. The
best idea would be to keep Windows as well as Linux though, because these
programs are not really in a fit state as yet. They certainly won't cope
with todays games.

The 2.2 USB backport is going into 2.2.18. Here is the updated info from
http://www.linux-usb.org
--- cut ---
NOTE: USB development is now being done in the 2.3 development
kernel tree. Much of USB support has been backported and will be
available starting with 2.2.18. It is listed a few lines below.
USB-Storage is not supported in the 2.2 line of kernels.
--- cut ---
No one knows when will 2.2.18 be available, but since there aren't too
many issues (VM, ISOFS problems), I guess 2-3 weeks should do.
The best bet for now is try out 2.2.18pre, it's pre23 already...

if so this is a known bug and you have to

Hi again!
I've heard great things about "stripping" executables. It really seems
to make a difference in file size and I don't need debugging info anyway.
My question is, does it harm to let find find all the executables on my
system and have them stripped? The concept of altering executables
without recompiling appears somewhat strange to me, and I don't want to
mess up the place by stripping in the wrong place.

6 Gig's plenty of room to dual boot Win98 and Linux.
That's what I've got on my laptop, with 3 Gig set aside for each OS.
That gives me plenty of room to install games and demos on the Win98
partition and do the useful stuff I want to do in SuSE 7.0.

But how come the programs work fine when i don't use 'screen'? BTW, I didn't

And no, there is no $COLORTERM or such.
