Nonsensical question, in that there is no function for one; and "wherever

See above. The FS std prbably says "/boot".

It sounds terrible.

make oldconfig
make bzImage (and possibly some modules)
(cp bzimage where you like, edit lilo.conf and run lilo).

No.

No. It rather depends what you put on the floppy though!

Because modules are loaded from userspace. They're not a prerequisite
to a boot. If you want to get fancy you can play with temporary
ramdisks and modules on a floppy too, like redhat, but why? You have
everything on disk. ALl you have to do is boot a kernel and start
loading modules. Support for the disk must be in the kernel for this to
work, though!
I suggest you look at the kernel HOWTO again. There is no need to
invent problems where tehre are none.

I have Win98, W2K, W2K server, Slackware on one drive, and SuSE7.1 on
a drive by itself. Lilo gives me the option to boot to many different
systems, including the Win systems. When I select Win, it procedes to
the W2K boot screen and then I have the option which win to boot.

yes, you should unless you don't want to load modules on demand (only
manually).

make xconfig; make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install; make bzlilo;
reboot
does exactly that, if you specified INSTALL_PATH in /usr/src/linux/Makefile
(comment out line 77)
You could omit bzImage, though, I run it to be more secure (it does only
compile the first time)

compiles, copies the kernel and System.map to INSTALL_PATH (see Makefile),
and runs lilo

no, "depmod -a" is run at boot. "update-modules" is only needed when
changing module configuration. This does nothing but generating a new
modules.conf from the files in /etc/modutils

It doesnt work in my case. Here is what I have in my maillog:

(web9507.mail.yahoo.com, 216.136.129.21) rejection

Subject: Re: mail notification
Date: Sat, 12 May 2001 18:57:58 -0230
Hi,
Thanks for all your replies concerning disabline mail notification,
I checked /etc/profile but there is no biff or xbiff there and biff is
not installed on my system at all so it cannot be the culprit. I am
running ksh and have the following in my ~/.kshrc to disable those
annoying mail notification messages while I am logged in to a remote
terminal:
export MAILCHECK=31536000
unset MAIL
unset _
These variables were documented in man ksh. This should help but I also
want the mail notification warning to be off when I log in for the first
time from a remote location. Hence just as the man login page says I did
the following in my home directory:
touch ~/.hushlogin
This got rid of the last login time message presumably reported by some
command such as:
last $USER | head -n 1
However if I log in with ssh instead of telnet then I still get the mail
notification message on the line before my shell prompt. This does not
happen when I use telnet. I am running ssh 1.2.26 on the client and
openssh 2.5.2p2 on the remote server.
Does anyone know how to make the ~/.hushlogin file work properly with
the above ssh setup as well?
Thanks,
Neil

>Run 'top' and see what is hogging your CPU.
I suspect this is merely the large overhead of KDE2 rather than anything
going mad in the background.
I've seen it myself on trying to run konqueror in non KDE2 desktops and that
of my users using KDE2 systems.
The whole shebang of konqueror itself + the many kdeinits seems to give an
easy way of coordinating things but by golly it takes a while to load up. It
doesn't seem to matter much the amount or RAM or CPU you have spare it just
takes ages to get going. And it also takes ages to stop (plenty of confused
users here who hit "logout" only to be presented with their desktop while it
'shuts down' still fully operable until it finally decides to drop back to
xdm/kdm seemingly at random and without warning).
Mozilla loads faster. Netscape loads faster. While I like konqueror I won't
defend its load times at all.
I don't like the complex and process hungry routines of KDE2 (what is it with
all these kdeinits, kdesud and nspluginviewers; they pop up all over the
place, giving me little knowledge as to what they're doing and often end up
just crashing; could you *please* at least show what you're trying to run?!).
Why should loading up one kde2 app entail the baggage of pretty much the
entirety of kde2 as well?
KDE2 needs good RAM and CPU resources. Using any single KDE2 package
necessitates little less than this. I, for one, loathe KDE2 for this and
personally, on a server based system, find it nothing more than a huge pain
in the ass (or RAM) to allow my users to run it. Sure, it looks nice...
On the same hardware Windows, as a desktop, is quicker, less resource hungry
and complete, if you deny that then you're wearing the old rose-tinted
specs.
I dunno if it's cos of preloading or what but Windows, on the same
hardware, loads its desktop apps a hell of a lot quicker, runs them
quicker, more seamlessly and often crashes less when using them.
Linux was never *designed* to be a desktop system yet here we are trying to
beat it into being one. It would suit most users better to start afresh with
a system designed for them not to have to try to bend the users into knowing
the OS. But, of course, such a new system would have no support from anyone;
see BeOS...

And I don't understand why you don't understand. Your original post
contains no data, only suppositions, rumours, and hearsay:
Recently did a clean install of RH7.1 on one of my client boxes and can no
longer receive mail messages from my server (using mail). I can send
messages to the server, and I can send and receive locally, but I can't
receive from remote hosts.
Prove what you say. Show the output of "ps ax | grep sendmail", for
example! Even if we believe you as to sendmail running (and I don't),
sending mail locally may not necessarily involve sendmail, so it may not
say anything about sendmail.

I'ts been years since I've tried disk druid. Does the version of Linux come
with fdisk and sfdisk? I'd be curious to see the results of "sfdisk -l" if
possible.

VMware can be used in two different ways. The normal way is to install
vmware into the host OS and then create one or more virtual disk images for
your guest OS's. The fact that you also have a real copy of ME installed
somewhare wouldn't affect this at all. You can also have VMware boot your
already installed copy of ME but then ME will "see" completely different
hardware when it's running under VMware and when it's being run directly
(dual boot). It's essentially like taking the hard disk out of your machine
and installing it on a different one and I'm sure you can imagine how
confused that can make Windows.

It depends how fast your system is but in general the video good enough for
office apps. but worthless for 3d gaming. I'm not sure about the sound, I
do that under Linux. The benchmarks I've run show VMware to be about the
same speed as native mode for cpu/memory intensive stuff and 25% as fast for
graphics. Disk was somewhere in the middle but cpu utilization during disk
access was much worse.

It doesn't really matter much for a home system. I generally make one
partition below the 1024 cylinder limit (about 8GB on many systems) for the
root partition plus 100-200MB or so for swap plus the rest for /home. For
servers it's worth splitting things up more but usually not on home systems
IMHO.

You need to set the 's' bit permission on the programs used to burn a CD.
I do not recall all of the programs. I know one of them must be cdrecord.
You can use find to look for files that belong to the group 'cdwriter' and
that should be all of them.

Maybe you could get a fix if you tried what I ORIGINALLY posted
(from the RH7.1 RELEASE-NOTES):
o Sendmail -- By default, sendmail does not accept network
connections
from any host other than the local computer. If you want
to
configure sendmail as a server for other clients, please
edit
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change DAEMON_OPTIONS to also
listen on
network devices, or comment out this option all together.
You will
need to regenerate /etc/sendmail.cf by running:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
Note that you must have the sendmail-cf package installed
for this to
work.

sometimes when I've booted I'll start X or something and go to browse and I
can't get anywhere. I can ping an IP address but no name resolution. When I
look in resolv.conf there is nothing but the domain that I put in rc.config
at install. Therefore the ISP info wasn't written for some reason. Any
ideas? Thanks in advance.
