I am running Linux (Redhat 7) and windows 98 on separate partitions, with
LILO on the MBR. I would like to install Windows 2000 on a third partition,
and I know it wants to take over the MBR. Can anyone give me any guidance
re how to go about it? Thanks.

This might a potential way of doing it - it's pretty ugly.....
tail -f logfile &; command.sh > logfile 2>&1; kill %1
The kill %1 may not work in all shells..
(You also may need to do a 'touch logfile' before running this , so the tail
doesn't die....)

Casual use does not equal laziness. These issues are only relevant when
the situation calls for it. When you can do a clean install in less than
a half hour these days, and that's all that matters to you, then these
things usual aren't issues.

Yes, it tells you about the issues. I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing
the relevance to home users who like to keep up on the latest software
and hardware drivers and only have to worry about themselves, not a mess
of other users.

Maybe I should have put more emphasis on the "newbie" although I hate the
associated stigma(s). How many will know what to do when partitions are
truly fscked? And even then, how many will pass up a super-easy clean
install?

I can see this if your arguments included things like search time and disk
spanning, but the argument assumes one, maybe two, harddisks where speed
is dictated by your hardware -- IDE/SCSI, RPM, etc -- and are increasingly
less of a problem.

You mean to tell me you think everyone (read "home users") routinely backs
up everything and not just what's most precious (e.g. love letters and MP3s)?
You've got to be kidding. If that were true, I'd think these newsgroups
would have far fewer posts. This is not a slam on my fellow users, but I'm
trying to be realistic.

But you're just proving my point. Why back up anything other than that?
Hence, why partition anything beyond that? I admit I didn't originally
include /var as a seperate partition, but OK, sure (/etc notwithstanding
for reasons we both know -- /etc partition bad, bad!).
If any other sorts of partitions such as /usr get hosed and you're going
to replace via the distro., then why have many partitions in this setting?
Please point out what I'm overlooking (<excuse>my eyes are glazed over from a
long day</excuse>). Where is the problem given this specific user setting?

OK, granted, but IMO, we're not talking about the stable, functional, high
usage home that we want to take good care of. We're talking about the vacation
home that gets used when you have free time. Unless you've got money to burn,
that one room shack does just fine. Little maintenance, no worries, gets the
job done, and is functional for it's primary purpose given the time spent there.

In that case, yes. But beyond that, the need is arguable.
To me, backups serve two purposes: (1) save unreplaceable data, and (2) cut
way down on restoration time in the event of data corruption or loss. We
take care of #1 by backing up /home, /etc and maybe /var. #2 is taken care
of via the multitudes of slick, fast and easy installations care of our vast
selection of distros. Now, couple on the partition argument at hand. Your
precious data in /home, /etc, and /var are isolated from the corruption of
other partitions (or partition in my view). You said yourself the rest is
taken care of by the distro. Hence, why break up what's left? Remember, I'm
not talking about servers and multi-user (as in humans, not daemons and other
processes) systems; I'm concentrating on Joe Linux.
Phew! Have I gone completely OT on this thread or what? I hope I didn't make

There is an NT boot loader howto around somewhere, not sure where. The
NT boot loader is the same as in Win 2K, and works quite nicely as the
primary loader. It basically means installing lilo to a partition
instead of MBR, then using dd to copy your partition boot record to a
floppy, and then the floppy file to the Win 2k partition. Win 2k can be
pointed at that file and it will properly direct things over to linux.
The NT boot loaders is one of the few reliable MS products I know of.
FYI, you want to avoid support in linux for writing to NTFS, use
read-only.

Read my subsequent post.
Besides, I never said I didn't care. I said I didn't see the need to
go beyond having a seperate partition for /home, swap, /, and maybe
/boot. And I never said I didn't have time or would not do backups.
I back up what's unreplaceable. The distros these days take care of
the rest. And my argument pertains to personal use. Servers and multi-
user systems are a totally different story, which I feel were not the
focus of this thread.
I'm sorry if what I wrote was not clear.

Some motherboards require a "terminator" in any unused CPU slot. Is yours
one of those? If it seems like it's a problem with Linux, give us the error

I use pan, StarOffice's newsreader, and tin for news, and I like tin best.
Being a bit odd, I use web-based e-mail exclusively. Which leads to browser.
I use Netscape Navigator 4.76, StarOffice's browser and Konqueror (if
running KDE). I've tried Opera and Amaya, and I don't care for either.
>What is your favourite productivity software for things like documentation,

StarOffice, Applixware (all categories) and Xess (spreadsheets). If you need
a serious spreadsheet that won't waste resources, use Xess. NExS may be
comparable to Xess, but I haven't used it. I have WordPerfect Office for
Linux on my system too, but it runs through wine so sluggish.
Recurring theme: I've mentioned StarOffice a few times. It offers the best
MS Office compatibility, and if it's already running you're better off
'doing everything in one place' because if you try to load anything else
your system will crawl.
If I had to recommend one suite, it'd be Applixware if MS Office
compatibility isn't an issue; otherwise, StarOffice is the only real option.
A la carte, Xess is a very good spreadsheet, WordPerfect is very
full-featured, and I don't use presentation software often enough to have an
opinion.
>And finally, how about database software, what are your favourite servers
>and front ends?
The only really good thing about WordPerfect Office is Paradox. It runs
through wine, so it's a bit sluggish, but it's a very good database front
end (once you get over the learning curve). I don't run a multi-user
database server, so no comment.

I've been running RH for some time now on dual systems and I haven't seen
the problem you describe except for hardware problems. That being said,
when you get the boot prompt, hit 'tab' and you should see two kernels,
and smp and a up. Just type in the name of the up kernel and go. Once
you're up, edit lilo.conf so the up kernel boots. Don't forget to run
lilo when you're done.

I use Applixware, because I bought it a while back and it works nicely.
I'd use Star Office too, but I haven't tried downloading it over my 56K
modem connection - for obvious reasons. Oh, and I use the Gimp for
images (who doesn't?) - interfaces nicely with sane for working with
scanned images.

I sent this to Initio a few minutes ago. I thought some of you might be
interested in it.
===== begin rant =====
I just found out the hard way that you do not support your INI-9100UW
SCSI adapter under Windows 2000. I am dumbfounded by your decision to
not support this product under Windows 2000.
For a company who appears to pride themselves on their cross-platform
support, who provides drivers for their hardware for (most) Windows
platforms, Linux, BSD, MacOS, UnixWare, and Solaris, the reasoning
behind this decision to abandon the 9100UW is unfathomable.
I understand and agree that you should not be producing the 9100UW
anymore -- Ultra 2 SCSI, LVD, and all the other latest buzzwords make
Ultra Wide SCSI obsolete now. I have no problem with that; I do have a
problem with you forcing your customers to discard perfectly good,
functioning hardware, simply because they wish to upgrade their
operating system. You're the only company I've seen do this; for
example, I have yet to find a network card for which there's no Windows
2000 driver.
What's especially galling about your decision is that you consider the
9100UW an "end of life" product which you no longer support, yet it's
still for sale in your online store, as of today!
Our company first began buying Initio SCSI adapters as a low-cost,
high-performance alternative to expensive Adaptec adapters. We will no
longer do so because of your ridiculous decision. It would cost you very
little in development time to port your existing Windows NT 4.0 driver
over to Windows 2000; it will cost you a lot in lost future sales
because you haven't done so.
