Hi all,
I have redhat 7.1 and windows 2000 in one machine, and use windows2000 boot
loader for both of them. now i want to add solaris to the mix, how can i go
about booting the three of them, preferably using the existing boot loader
i.e. windows2000.
note: sorry if this is not the right list for this question.
thanx

I don't know if it makes any difference or not, but did you select 'UNIX
Rockridge' as the image master type?
The only other option would be (assuming you had the 650meg worth of
spare disk space) would be to do this (as root):
bash# mkdir /scratch/Jun-9-2001
bash# tar cvf /scratch/Jun-9-2001/backup.tar -c /home .
bash# xcdroast
Master & burn the contents of /scratch/Jun-9-2001 (one big giant tar
file).
bash# rm -rf /scratch/Jun-9-2001
Now your cd will have one file (backup.tar) with whatever owner/perms.
Inside of the tar file, all of your permissions, etc. are preserved.
Note if you have some reason not to like tar, you can also do:
bash# mkdir /scratch/Jun-9-2001
bash# dump 0f - /home > /scratch/Jun-9-2001/home.dmp
Same difference. I'd recommend tar -- *everybody* can deal with a tar file.
Or you can do this:
bash# ls -RAFl /home >/home/ls-RAFl
just before mastering and burning the CD. All of your ownership and
permissions would then be *documented* in the file ls-RAFl at the top of
the CD. You'd just have to re-create things (by hand) on 'restore'.
ISO9660 CDs are probably not a really good system for backups intended
as failsafe (i.e. disaster recovery) -- they are fine for general
archival purposes though.

Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 00:24:01 +0200
Hello all
I am currently running WIndows 2000 on my PC. I would like to use also
Linux Red Hat 6.2. Unfortunately, my computer does not seem able to
start from CD, so I am a bit lost concerning the installation. My PC
currently has:
- Windows 2000 Professional with SP 1 and SP 2
- 20 Gb Hard disk as primary master
- 4 Gb Hard disk as primary Slave
- 24X CD-ROM drive
I still have plenty of space in the 20 Gb drive, so creating a partition
of, say, 8 Gb for Linux would not be any problem. However, the software
for partition management that comes with Linux is fips, and it doesn't
cope well with Windows 2000. I also don't know how to make a bootable
floppy disk in order to install Linux. There is also the fdisk option,
but I would not like to have to install again all the software packages.
Could somebody give me some help to install Linux? It can be either
straightforward instructions or an indication of the place where I could
find such information
Regards
Josep

[snip]
The problem is that mkisofs (which does all the work of generating the
ISO image; XCDRoast is just a pointy-clicky front end) was called with
the -r option instead of the -R option. -r creates an ISO9660 with Rock
Ridge extensions, but it sets the permissions for every file to 0555 and
the owner of every file to root.root . This is excellent for data
transfer between two different machines, but horrible for backups of a
Unix filesystem, as all the permissions bits have been garbled. I don't
know whether XCDRoast will let you use the -R option instead of the -r;
I never use it because it feels clunky....
You could do like Robert Heller said and use a tar file. Or you can use
the following command to make a backup of your /home to a CD-RW in one
fell swoop:
mkisofs -R /home | cdrecord dev=X,Y,Z speed=W -
(Please note that you have to get X,Y,Z, and W correct, and it would be
best to execute this command line as root.)

Subject: RH 7.1 Strangeness
Date: 9 Jun 2001 22:20:40 GMT
Why I didn't do an upgrade instead of a complete install is beyond me.
After doing this install I see a couple of funnies I like some help
with.
1) The RH PPP Dialer. I can only really run it as root. I've told
Linuxconf to allow my user to start PPP but that doesn't seem to be
enough. As myself, not root, when I try it, it will dial the
modem but it won't disconnect it. If I try to use the disconnect
it simply dials again. Also, there is no graphical indication that
any connection is made. I assume that it trying to write connection
status to a file somewhere and my user doesn't have permissions
to write this file. Since it all works fine if I'm root, this
ought to be pretty simple to correct.
2) Sendmail and boot up. The boot up happens, daemons are started and
all progresses nicely. Then it says starting sendmail and it waits and
waits for about 5-6 minutes then finishes sendmail and rapidly completes
the startup. What can I do to not have it wait for sendmail to start?
All advice appreciated.

FIPS.EXE works fine with Lose2K, provided you installed Lose2K to a
FAT32 partition and not an NTFS partition. AFAIK, there is no Free
Software that will allow you to resize an NTFS partition. You are
probably out of luck unless you either find a copy of some version of
Partition Magic that can deal with NTFS, or you back up all your data,
repartition the disk, and reinstall Lose2K. Partition Magic is roughly
$60 and can be useful in many circumstances.

It's in the paper manual that came with your distro. If you don't have
a paper manual, you should go out and buy a good book like _Running
Linux_ from O'Reilly, or find a local Linux-using guru who's willing to
hold your hand for a while. Finally, the first CD should contain a
directory called "disks" or "images" which should contain a README file
which tells you how to use RAWRITE.EXE (in the dosutils directory) to
make a bootable Linux floppy from a DOS prompt.

If that is result from hdparm -tT, it seems to be in order. If it's from a

the modules for pcnet_cs.{something}.0 exist in the modules subdirectory

The kernel supports PCMCIA. I see the services loaded. I see the
detection of the PC-card slots. I hear the beep and boop when the card
is inserted and removed.
I had pump installed, along with dhcp-client. I decided to also add
dhcpcd, for fun. With any configuration of those, no luck with the
pcnet_cs card. Works OK for the other card.

Progeny asserts it is potato, but its install disks even include KDE
2.0.1. But I have pointed a progeny installation apt-get at debian
woody and got good results.
Now, if you have played with /etc/pcmcia*, is there some secret setting
that tells the system what kind of card I have, so that if I change the
setting a different card is detected?

Hmmm ... Well, I'm using the KT7A-RAID, not the KT7-RAID. The motherboard
manual lists the chipset as VT82C686B, which sounds like the 686B you
mention. And, I'm running my own compilation of the kernel, with DMA
enabled.
However, I'm also running both hard drives off a single IDE interface,
IDE0, as master/slave. The only things on another IDE interface are the
CD-ROM, and an LS-120 on IDE1. So far, I'm not using IDE2 and IDE3 on
the Highpoint controller at all. I have enabled DMA.
Perhaps the simplicity of my configuration, with both drives on IDE0,
is what is saving me from grief?
Thanks,
Jim

I played a bit there. PRimarily to get wireless working. If you poke
around there, the primary card database file is in /etc/pcmcia. I think its
called config. The next file I have edited, allows you to control which
IRQs are handed out for the cards. That would be config.opts. If you need
to setup multiple "schemes", you would want to edit network.opts there.
There are basically two types of pcmcia card controllers I have read. One
does something called tcic and I cannot recall the other. I primarily use
3com and linksys cards and they work without changing irq settings.
The card database includes every card that the pcmcia service is gonna
support for the version you have. The config.opts file will let you include
and exclude irqs and integrate new modules. Here is what I found for the
pcnet_cs drivers on the web:
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/man/pcnet_cs.4.html - this page appears to
define what cards are supported, what switches they take, etc. Its written
by the same guy that does pcmcia-cs, David Hinds.
I think you need to find out what version of pcmcia_cs is running in progeny
or storm and compare it to the supported cards for that version. If the
specific card is not supported by that version of the pcmcia services, you
will have to upgrade thath specific package or download and compile a later
version of the sources that will support the card you need.
The real thing is that since pcmcia-cs is released quite often and new cards
either added or enhanced, you may find that the version of pcmcia-cs has a
driver which may not work with certain varieties of cards and that the newer
drivers do. I have spent some time on pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net reading the
pcmcia howto and also on the linux on laptops page looking for clues. By
far, the pcmcia HOWTO provides the best and most consolidated information
for card support. You can also read forum materials there.
Pretty handy site.
