I hope this is not a stupid suggestion ;-)
If you want a LAN server, I suppose it has a network card?
You have 14 PC's, perhaps one of the can hold some of the linux
distribution. And perhaps also with a network card?
If so, you can perfectly install Linux over a network. I know you can at
least do this with Slackware and Suse (I never used RH) and with both ftp
and nfs-protocol.
The only thing you need then is a linux-boot floppy which can use the
network card.
I used to do this with the Linux Suse 6.2 distribution., the only thing
you have to set up is of course another ftp-server which makes the Linux
CD's available. This should not be that much of a problem if you have
several PC's.
Even more, you can install some distributions directly from the internet
on your PC. Takes a night or so, but it 'll go.
By the way, If you just want a LAN server, (and nothing else on it) you do
not need all the graphic and fancy stuff, just the basic packages A and N
and perhaps a few other things. This will all fit (slackware) on maximum
20 to 30 floppies. Could be worth to make such a set of floppies.

127.0.0.1 localhost #is enough
AFAIK leave out the short hostname on the second adress for your linuxpc
too, but don't nail me on that..:-)

Sounds like sendmail was not running try:
ps aux | grep sendmail
to see if it's running.
Type
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail
without arguments, it should show the avaiable arguments in your
startscript.
Sendmail sometimes doesn't restart on a busy server with the first try,
IMHO this is normal, looks like it has
problems binding to it's port (25), second time it works always, if you
mixed up sendmail.cf it will complain what's
wrong...:-)
I don't think that your system is unstable...
Good luck

hmm, no, seems to be quite right:
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2491 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 64 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 65 319 2048287+ 83 Linux

/dev/hda5 * 2085 2491 3269196 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 1058 2084 8249314+ 83 Linux
Confusing, right?
Ahh, got a more presise error message while trying cfdisk:
FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 5: enlarged logical
partitions overlap
Press any key to exit cfdisk
Does it ring the bell to anybody? not me. :-)

yes, Partition Magic can resize dos/win partitions. I tried it and it
works well. The reason I use it is because it show a much more clear
picture than the duprep (?) -- the partition tools comes with RH, which
the only way I know to invoke is doing reinstall. what is the shell
command for it?
BTW, the tool that I used -- parted is from GNU. It is said to be able
to resize the ext2 partition as well as dos'.

Hello Karel,
I am a real newbie when it comes to LINUX, I did not get any exposure
to UNIX either. I grew up with the DEC PDP-6 and PDP-10 mainframe
machines and have had to PCs with great sadness. Most of the present
jargon that I hear on this and other NGs is to me about as
unintelligible as ANCIENT SWAHILI. Things were simpler in the old
days.

Hello Carl,
Thanks for your email with your address etc.
Yes the PC in question has a CD drive and I have a copy of Red Hat
LINUX on CD and a copy of InfoMagic LINUX toolbox with 2 CDs. I
suspect the InfoMagic package might be old and out of date as it was
given to me by a feller who has had it for a long time without doing
anything with it. I have just purchased a new box of floppies so as
to be able to make a boot-floppy with RAWHIDE, as per the instructions
in the RH booklet. Where I go from there is unknown territory. Haven't
even got a compass to guide me.

I'm not a C or C++ programmer (I'm a Fortran programmer for last 25 years)
but "1>" and "2>" are stdout and stderr and have nothing to do with
parameters being passed to the application. The following should still
work:
(pan arg1 arg2 <some_input_file 1>/dev/null 2>&1) &
The "1>/dev/null" could also be "1>some_output_file" so that the
output results could be viewed at a later time.

Escape the shell interpreterer?
try andrew\.chan instead.
But you shouldn't choose such an owner. It's bound to give you more problems
in the future. Call it andrewchan, or just andrew. Make a sound choice. Let
users do silly things. If you are a system adminstrator, you should think
twice before doing things like this.

"32 Bit Crystal PCI Audio" means nothing. Post the output of "cat
/proc/pci" that relates to audio equipment, and someone will probably be
able to tell you what to do. I gather "sndconfig" didn't do anything?
If you haven't tried that, do so immediately.

Check , if there is /usr/X11R6/lib/LibXt.so on your system. If there is
no libXt.so, you probably didn't install the XFree-devel package.
If libXt.so exists, you have to add -L/usr/X11R6/lib as Linker flag
somewhere in the Makefile( IIRC you have to set XLIBDIRS) .
