Ya, I've tried this before, but Win95 doesn't give access to that. Any

I just downloaded KDE 2.0 RPM's.
It's approximately 26 files; all RPM's.
I issued the following commands.
rpm -Uvh qt*
rpm -Uvh lib*
rpm -Uvh htdig*
So far so good.
And then I tried issuing the following command.
rpm -Uvh kde*
I got tons of failed dependencies errors.
Any help?

Bindou,
I don't know how you can have a primary "slave" disk without having a
primary "master" disk...I think this is problem. In any case, it sounds like
your master boot record is hosed. to correct and be able to boot up into
Windows, boot to a dos/windows floppy, or a windows CD, then exit out of
system. You should then be able to enter the command:
fdisk/mbr
This should fix your master boot record. Now reboot the computer and you
should come up into Windows.

Hello,
asuming you have a kernel running with the needed SCSI support, you could
use
tar to write/read on your tape an mt to control your tape, with some SCSI
tapes you
can use this nice seek option.
Sure, tar is one of those apps with zillions of options, but once you have
figured it out
it's in my opinion one of the most reliable solution. In case of this
total HD crash, you can
boot of some rescue CD, most distros have, they contain kernel that have
everything as module,
you can load the SCSI driver from. Once loaded you have all those tools
handy (mt & tar) you
could just write your partitions back on hd, if you choose some of those
nice klick apps for backup,
oh, your problem to get the data back...
If your serious about it, try getting this UNIX Backup/Recovery Book from
O'Reilly, nice read,
those storys from people backing up lots of data over years, then a case
of failure happend and they
were not able to recover with their shinny commercial app they all liked
so much for its ease of handle...
The main thing I learned from this book:
A backup is nothing worse, if you're not able to recover!
You can script it and even run tar through ssh on a remote machine..:-)
There was a nice litle Backup HowTo, which gave me some ideas, but I don't
have the
URL handy...
Good luck

also, make sure your linux boot partition is within the starting 1024
cylinders (1024? i'm not sure... keep it somewhere in the beginning) of your
hard disk.
you can only boot from a primary partition, and it has to be within the
first 1024 cylinders of your disk.

sorry for asking the most picaune question in all of recorded history.

i'm running netscape under linux. i click on bookmarks, edit bookmarks,
then right click on one, select properties. i then might edit the name

*sometimes* it keeps me in the edit bookmarks window and sometimes it
closes it out. i can't figure it out and it's been perplexing me for

Thanks! Ekkard
Can you show me how to do this trick please? I have never used dd
before. I want to know with which tool you get the hd partition info and
how can you calculate them to suit for dd. Also can you show it with an
example please? (you can pick any one of my output from my previous

Subject: Win2K partition restored
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 02:16:19 GMT
Hello,
Sorry for the off-topic. I have been playing with Linux for a few days now
and as a side effect partition data on Win2K drive was wiped out. So, after
this whenever I went through Mandrake 7.1 installation process it would show
the partition on Win2K disk as empty. Originally, Win2K set on
single-partition ATA and Linux went to two-partition SCSI drives (that is
swap and root).
I have pretty much exhausted every no-cost solution I could find on the net.
At the end here is what saved the day.
1. I took MBR from another Win2K PC with totally different
single-partition(!) ATA drive. This was done with MBRWORK utility from
http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/utilities.html. Thanks a bunch to these
good folks!
2. Booted broken PC to DOS from FD and copied that MBR to the broken drive
using same utility.
3. Rebooted the PC.
At this point Win2K fixed some NTFS problems by itself.
4. Copied the restored MBR to Win2k boot FD.
Having Win2k and LM boot FDs has helped a lot, as sometimes the PC wouldn't
boot from HD at all. Now I am trying to set up LILO on SCSI drive rather
than on ATA and make it work via a Linux boot-sector-file in Win2K's
BOOT.INI -- unsuccessful so far:)
Thanks,
AB

Subject: RH6.2 with 3 NICs on a Dell Dimension L800r ??
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:19:00 -0800
Hi,
I'm trying to configure a firewall with RedHat 6.2 on a Dell Dimension L800r
with 3 NICs:
- 1 integrated (Intel Pro 10/100)
- 2 3Com 3C905C
I turned off the PNP in BIOS, disabled the integrated sound card and the
parallel port and let RedHat installs itself.
RH found my NICs correctly but a ping on the local IP address on both the
3Com takes +1 minute.
Then, I've found that the Intel and one of the 3Com are using the same IRQ
and there's no way to change this.
Is there a way to get 3 NICs to work on a Dell Dimension L800r running
RedHat 6.2 ?
Or should I go to RedHat 7.0 ?
Thanks,
Thierry.

HTML isn't supposed to be WYSIWYG. So-called editors that treat it like it

I'm partial to joe for most editing tasks. Others here will more than

your friends when you're maintaining a site of moderate size, too. The only
graphical tool you need for putting a site together is some kind of image

Thanks a thousand Svend! You've saved my day.
haaa, you've got a really powerful tool with hidden features, huh? :-)
Ok, here is my wish list for your findpart,:-)
- More documentation. Seem that it is just come out of the stove fresh.
:-) Spend some time on the documentation, it is really a powerful tool
that will benifit many many poor soles. So it deserve a better
documentation. And use mine data as an working example. :-)
- Examing you document I had a feeling that you are only doing bios
calls, not dos calls. So will a linux port of the findpart be available
soon? :-)
- I'd also like to point out that there are still things that findpart
has overlooked. Here is the check output:

Seems to me that it is not producting exactly the same data as other
partition tools (like the result of hda). Is the above what you were
expecting? I can mount my /dev/hdb5 now, though.

PCI Busmaster arbitration will often see many items using the same IRQ.
I have one system where no less than 4 devices are on IRQ 11....and they
all go just fine.
It may be that you have a routing issue. If it were me, I would have
installed those NICs one at a time. I don't trust software to react well
to a herd of NICs. I do it also because I tend to use the same NICs and
I need to tell them apart.....and 3 at once leaves me wondering which
one is which. :-)

Entirely predictable seeing as how the notion of combining WYSIWYG and
HTML is inherently contradictory, especially in the wake of modern
developments.
Remember that in the presence of CSS, the visual layout information
isn't connected to the HTML _AT ALL_, but is rather associated with a
separate language and a separate file, and is associated with an
object hierarchy, not with what you might see on a "design page."
For those that are so wrapped up in the HTML of yesteryear, the likely
most appropriate thing to do is to run Internet Explorer, and not
bother with Linux at all. What graphical web tools have anything to
do with a popular operating system kernel is beyond my ken...
