The standard for hiding partitions type 0x01 to 0x0E is to add 0x10 to
the partition type (ID). An HPFS partition, which (as NTFS) has type
07 is hidden by changing the type to 17.
As far as I know OS2 does not recognize an extended partition type 0F.
This also could be utilized for hiding all logical partitions in OS2.
A problem related to OS2 is that in DOS/Windows extended partitions
ending cylinder 1024 or later must be type 0F, while OS2 does not
recognize this type.

This sounds very much like a resolv problem. Try adding your own
IP/host and those of the other systems to your /etc/hosts file, and make
sure you have valid nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

Redhat likes to distribute source and headers in separate packages. If
you're getting your source from Redhat, be sure to grab the corresponding
kernel-headers too.

IMHO that makes you a glutton for punishment. I bought Jbuilder 3.5
for my PC and wish I had not. Even in a Win 95 environment using a
decent editor (PFE) and running compiles in a DOS window is much
faster and easier than using the monsterous, slow, undocumented
monster that is Jbuilder.
My Linux box will shortly have SDK 1.3 installed; I have the
documentation set installed in Apache and use microEmacs as the
editor. This will be an excellent Java development environment, not
least because (unlike Jbuilder) it has a proper, documented 'make'
utility.

Poor you. I have RH 6.2, which is stable out of the box (I admit I use
it as a server and don't have X installed) and will not be using 7.0
at all. My system has been up 60 days (since I took it down to install
a DAT tape drive).
I can, however, recommend PuTTY as a good text window type telnet/ssh
client with xterm emulation for running on a Windoze box. Works very
well with my server.

After installing, one should see the webpage beautifully. However when
pointed to:
http://fake.domain.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin (e.g.) , it says "The page cannot

In linux itself, i am able to run ./qmailadmin
and i can see html codes running up the screen ==> it is working fine.
And cgi-bin is given privileges to run scripts.
However, in this case, "qmailadmin" is not a perl script.
So how can i exec it and make the browser print out the html codes??
E.g. of a REAL working example:
http://webmail.inter7.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin
Does it have anything to do with apache-ssl ?

Use "su -" instead of just "su" to change to superuser. the "-"
tells su to use the new user's environment instead of inheriting
the old one.

Rather than question legality, perhaps we can question the morality.
I purchased several DVDs, I would like to play them.
I can play them with W98, why should I not be able to play them with Linux.
If someone can figure it out and give me the code and I use it, am I
immoral? Is anyone else in the chain? I doubt it.
Many laws are written by or for greedy or stupid people, if I obeyed every
law on the books I would have to spend a lifetime reading them first.

I have now reinstalled Linux RH 6.2 as a server install since I got so
many problems with FTP and Samba when I tried to get it running on a
KDE Workstation install. These items are now resolved.
But to my astonishment on this install Apache will not accept
connections! What I see in my browser is this:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
Apache/1.3.12 Server at linuxpc.xxxxx.com Port 80
Really strange, and what do i do now? I have looked through the
httpd.conf file to find any reference to permissions there without
really finding anything.
In my earlier workststion installs Apache always started and I could
see the index page just fine, instead I had problems with FTP and
Samba. Now Apache is acting up, it is so frustrating....
BTW: Is there a web based configuration tool for Apache such as SWAT
for Samba? It would be much easier than using pico on a telnet
session...
