Hello Everybody,
I am a newbie at installing Linux. So far I have managed to get the
system installed and running. I have a Pentium 200, 64 MB RAM, 4 GB HDD.
I am installing Slackware on the system. I have a feeling that the kernel
is old, 2.0.35.
The command uname -a gives me the output linux 2.0.35 #59 Tue Oct 13
23:13:38 CDT 1998 i586 unknown.
The various partitions I have are a / partition of 500MB, a var partition
of 300MB, a swap partition of 128MB, and the rest going for usr. Is this
configuration reasonable.
Apart from that I have been trying to install BIND, Release 8-1-2 on the
system. I have written the named.conf file. The file is written below,
but I am having problems getting nslookup to work. The error message I get
is
Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Server failed
Any suggestions as to where could I be going wrong.
