"su" works as you describe, but "su -" does not. The "-" option
forces
(essentially) a fresh login to take place and PATH *will* change.

Look on the caldera cd for the bru2000 package file. It should be
pretty big and it might have either a '.tgz' or '.rpm' extension (or
something else, in which case this response won't help). If it's an
rpm, then cd'ing to that directory and typing 'rpm -i
brupackagename.rpm' )(while logged in as root) should install your
package. Once it's done, doing 'rpm -qilp brupacckage.rpm|less'
should
tell you where rpm stuck the program and what it's called and where
the
READMEs, etc are located.
If it's a tar or tgz package (which is just what people
conventionally
name a tar archive that's also been gzipped for compression), cd to
that same directory and do 'tar xzf brupackage.tgz'. This should
extract the stuff to the various directories they need to be in. Tar
isn't like rpm in that rpm uses scripts to modify initialization and
config files for you - tar can't do that, so reading the READMEs and
man pages should show you what to do next to use that program.

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get a linux system to boot from a 120MB ls120
superfloppy?
So far i have tried:
make bzdisk (changing /dev/fd0 for /dev/hdb which is the ls120)
results: I get a crc error when 'Uncompressing Linux...'
treating the ls120 as a hard disk and installing lilo in the MBR of
/dev/hdb
results: at bootup lilo reports
LILO
Error 0x01
creating a partition on the ls120 and installing lilo in /dev/hdb1
results: 'LIL' ... hang...
Anyone have any ideas?! Im sure it's possible, but I'm not having
much luck
yet!!!

I have the pcnet32 nic driver, which is called pcnet32.o my question
is,
how do i install it? I am pretty knowledgable about linux, i know how
to
make config and all that good stuff, but i have never recompiled my
kernal or installed a nic. Luckily all my hardware was detected and
installed automatically up until now. Im trying to get my AMD 37C970
to
work in MUlinux (small distro that fits on a floppy. I successfully
installed mtr before (hooray!!) so thats how i know how to make

make depend, etc, etc. One person told me its simply a matter of
copying
pcnet32.o to a certain directory, run insmod on it, and then add
another
entry manually into my boot file( whatever that is) to bring it up.
Can
anyone help? Ive been reading the howtos all week but still cant

Thank you for your attention to my problem:
A strange thing is that when I installed Debian Linux 2.2.12, I used
the CD drive, and mounted manually many times after the installation.
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /cdrom worked!
Lately, I found it not working, and getting an error,
The kernel does not recognize /dev/hdc as a block device.
I placed different known good CDs on the drive to test. Got the same
result.
I tested with another Linux box with CDROM's power cable
disconnected,
booted it up and tried to mount it. I got the same error as above.
So it may be hardware problem?
Any idea??

Subject: dual boot with Windows 2000
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:16 GMT
From: "Clif Bauer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
During the RedHat test mode setup, when you get to the point where
you can
name the other OS that LiLo will boot, you should be able to press
F3(Or F2,
can't remember which) to set either Linux of NT as the default OS to
boot.
Just highlight whichever selection you want to be the default and
press the
appropriate F key. This will place an * next to the selected OS. If
you
are running Linux as a secondary OS and you don't want to have to sit
through bootup and tell LiLo to boot NT, then this will automatically
goto
the Windows operating system after the short 5 second wait at the
LiLo
prompt.

Subject: SCSI and network card conflict? Linux refuses to boot.
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:16 GMT
From: "Brendan Boyle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have recently had a cable modem installed with the idea of setting
up my
PC as a server for internet access in my office network of 3 PC's.
The
cable modem installed in Windows 98 after only 8 reboots (a new
record
maybe?) and 4 hours. I have a Linux partition running Redhat 6.2
that I was
hoping to use for the majority of the time. The RH partition was in
place
before the cable modem and it worked fine.
Now that the modem is installed Linux refuses to boot (even from a
floppy).
The hardware is as follows:
PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21140 for the Cable modem with a static IP
address
supplied by my ISP
Realtek RTL8029 Ethernet adapter with a static IP supplied by me
Adaptec 2940AU PCI SCSI Controller that runs my scanner and CD
burner.
The boot process runs as normal until it locates the SCSI card. Then
the
messages are as follows:
scsi: 1 host
scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id
0, lun
0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id
0, lun
0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
Then the system freezes.
If I ctrl+alt+del I get the message: Stopping all md devices and the
system
reboots.
The timeout messages happen very quickly so I don't think that is the
problem. Before the network card for the cable modem was installed
everything worked fine.
My first solution was to reinstall Linux as it was a pretty clean
copy
anyway. This made no difference. I really don't want to play with
Windows
anymore so if anyone has come across this problem before or can point
me in
the direction of some help I would be most grateful. I'm more than
happy to
install Linux again with different parameters. Last time I installed
it I
disabled the cable modem ethernet card on boot just to try to get in
and
that didn't work.
If possible could you please direct responses to the newgroup as well
as to
my email address. I'm a bit of a networking/Linux newbie so please
be
gentle with your responses:)
Thanks in advance

Been there/done that drove me fsck'ing nuts trying to figure it out.
Turned out to have an extra \r at the end of the #! line
if it's on the cd, there is nothing much that you can do. If it is on
a writeable disk, try deleting and retyping (not cut and repaste) the
first line of the script, or use an editor that shows lf's & cr's as

This is how I do it though I use a different module and eth card.
First you copy it into the modules.
cp pcnet32.o /lib/modules/x.x.xx/net/
where x.x.xx is your kernel version
Then in /etc/conf.modules add a line like this
alias eth0 pcnet32
Then update depmod
/sbin/depmod -a
Then you need to restart the network
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

You shouldn't have to recompile the default kernel (it includes it)
-- you
only need to worry about this if *you* compiled your own custom
kernel. You are probably making a syntax error in your route
statement
(that's the only thing I can think of, anyway--)

Subject: Getting NIC to work with MUlinux
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:17 GMT
From: John P White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I am trying to get my NIC to work with MUlinux. My nic is a AMD
79C970.
I am trying to get it to work with MUlinux (a small distro of linux
that
runs off a floppy disk). Here is what MUlinux says i have to do to
get a
module(i am assuming that is what the NIC driver is, a module) to
work:
14.2 Modules
The root partition resides on the floppy, split into two parts (see
section What happens at boot time?): The first part (ROOT) just
contains
the directory
structure (/bin, /lib, etc.)
The first thing to do if you want to build a custom muLinux is to
unpack
the BOOT,ROOT,USR and X11 images with the command mu -u. It will
unpack
the
BOOT partition under subdirectory tree/startup and ROOT+USR+X11 under
subdirectory tree/.
Now, add, wipe, replace commands as you like. <---HOW DO I DO THIS?
If you want to change the kernel, compile it with make zImage and
copy
it under tree/startup/boot/mulinuz. The necessary modules must be
gzipped
and copied in tree/startup/modules/archive.tbz (see
tree/startup/modules/README, for details).
It is often necessary to specify parameters like io, irq and so on
when
you load a module. If your X.o module needs extra parameters just
write
them into
tree/startup/modules/X.param, remembering that muLinux loads modules
with a command equivalent to this
insmod X.o `cat X.param`
Please note that you have to compile ext2, DOS, UMSDOS file-system
support and ramdisk support directly into the kernel because they are
needed at boot
time for UMSDOS muLinux models.
If you look into the mu script you will find a variable called
BOOT_FREE: with it you can tune the free space you want on the BOOT
partition, where all
configurations are saved permanently and where you may want to save
you
emails for instance.
and here is what the ethernet howto had to say about my NIC:
AMD 79C970/970A (PCnet-PCI)
Status: Supported, Driver Name: pcnet32
This is the PCnet-PCI -- similar to the PCnet-32, but designed for
PCI
bus based systems. Please see the above PCnet-32 information. This
means
that you
need to build a kernel with PCI BIOS support enabled. The '970A adds
full duplex support along with some other features to the original
'970
design.
Note that the Boca implementation of the 79C970 fails on fast Pentium
machines. This is a hardware problem, as it affects DOS users as
well.
See the Boca
section for more details.
I am fairly good at linux, but I have never installed a module
before. I
have gotten mtr to work (with slackware, not this one) but beyond
that i
havent really doen too much. Im pretty sure I could recompile a
kernal
if I had to, so how can I get this nic to work with MUlinux? Thanks
in
advance, John.

When I got my Dell I7K last August, I immediately partitioned the
drive and installed Linux. I didn't even realize it had a cooling fan
for the CPU till months later when I needed to boot back into WIN98
to
do some stuff that required Windows!
Yes it generally runs a lot cooler in Linux. WIN9x does not issue a
halt to the CPU when idle unlike any other "real" OS.

Have you considered using packages instead? They are painless by
comparison.
I imagine that you forgot to run ldconfig after installing the new
library. Running `ldconfig -v` will list all installed libraries and
you can track down which version is installed where.

Check your /etc/inittab file. You will need to change
the default runlevel from 5 to 3.

I believe SuSE supports that chipset with their custom X11 server --
go to www.suse.com and check it out.

Some suggestions:
o Go into the BIOS setup on your machine and disable all
plug-and-play
hardware.
o Are both the SCSI and Ethernet cards ISA? Can you change jumpers
and/or manually set the IRQ on the new card?
o $35 will get you a brand-new PCI ethernet card. :)
