Maybe you should use kppp or redhat ppp dialer. They could handle multiple
ISP (numbers, password, gateway,DNS address, etc)

Subject: Linux Newbie: How to boot with Windows 98?
Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 06:30:03 GMT
Hi,
I just installed Corel Linux onto my machine..but now I don't know how to
boot it. I installed in on a seperate 1gb partition on my second hard
drive. This hard drive doesnt' have any other os on it. I have Windows 98
on my first hardrive and thats about it. Is there any way to boot Linux
from a disk at the start? Or is there a way to get a menu option to select
which os i want to boot with??
Could anyone out there please explain this to me in layman's terms???
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question..

Sounds like Linux does not know what driver to use. Have you checked
your /etc/conf.modules file? There should be a line:
alias eth0 3c59x
As a last resort, you could always enter those commands in your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file so that they are executed at start-up time.

You seem to be a bit confused over the IDE layout in the linux world.
/dev/hdd is ALWAYS the secondary slave, its not primary anything.
/dev/hdc is ALWAYS the secondary master
/dev/hdb is ALWAYS the primary slave
/dev/hda is ALWAYS the primary master
that said, where is this CD drive located? And have you physcially
verified that it is there? Perhaps the drive has jumpers that need to
be set?

Sounds like apache is already running (you forgot to stop the old one) or
you are trying to run it both as a daemon and from /etc/inetd.conf. Maybe
the new version keeps its logs in a different place than the old one.

First I would suggest putting any drives that BIOS sees first, and then
any drives it does not see. Otherwise BIOS will sometimes move drive
devices down into what it thinks are unused slots, which can cause phantom
drives and make things confusing. So you might swap hdb and hdc and set
jumpers on them accordingly.
I have been looking through man lilo.conf and there is a 'disk' option for
the global section that can tell Linux which device is which BIOS drive.
But I have not figured out from there how to tell Windows which drive is
the boot drive.
This is easily done if your CMOS setup has an option for that. For
example I can boot to Win98se FAT32 on hda and change CMOS setup to boot
from original Win95 FAT16 on hdb. Not sure how Linux would see the drives
if I do that, because I only do that to boot the old Win95 drive. And I
am not sure how Win on hdb would treat FAT partitions on hda, but in my
case the old Win95 did not do FAT32, so it ignores that.

Assuming the drive jumpers are set correctly, if you are using the
anaconda update images (original images were somewhat broken for some
people), make sure you are NOT inserting the CD until AFTER it asks you to
insert and have loaded the updates floppy.
Or if you have a Win boot floppy set up with cdrom support (the old DOS
cdrom drivers and mscdex.exe) you could boot from that and then run
autoboot.bat from the dosutils on the RH 6.1 CD. I did that with an old
Compaq Presario 486SX33, although, that was RH 5.0 and 5.2. It also
worked with an Evergreen 586 133 cpu upgrade (which added math
coprecessor), although, if I remember, it was only about 2-2.5 times
faster.

The only thing you need to connect to Mindspring is to specify PAP type

Mindspring doesn't require stuff like elaborate scripts and such.

Hi everybody out there...
having problems using send-mail... how do I need to setup my sendmail.ct
(or even create one via m4) to have send-mail masquerading the whole user-
email-address.... masquerading the domain.. is working.. but not the user..
so, e.g.: username at the provider is 'usrprov' and 'local' it is 'alex'
send-mail now does send and masquerades it as
[email protected] is right domain address........ instead of
usrprov@........ ? hmm...
Another problem is that using fetch-mail in spite of it's functional in that
way that it just fetches (..finally I got this working), at every
time I fetch, the send-mail queue is getting bigger and bigger due to probably
problems to transport all incoming mail to local users... My fetchmailrc
is o.k... but something might wrong with my sendmail.ct... I did use a script
to create sendmail.ct....
I should say, that there's another thread in this group... I thought it might
be interesting.. especially I know lot of demands about configuring send-mail,
fetch-mail and so on.... (SO, don't look any further guys.. here is the fitting
on! ;) )
Right because of this fact... I do now embed my fetchmailrc and sendmail.ct
again..... forgive me! but it's necessary... and also I think it's for a

The normal IRQ for /dev/ttyS2 (Com3) is irq 4. If you specifically have
it jumpered to irq 3 instead, you will need to use setserial to tell Linux
that, and make sure you are not using a mouse or anything on ttyS1 (Com2)
or ttyS3 (Com4). Or is your modem really on ttyS1 (Com2). If it really
is on ttyS2 using irq 3, try this:
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x3e8 irq 3 ^auto_irq ^skip_test autoconfig
Then see if 'setserial -bg /dev/ttyS2' shows the proper UART. Or test it
with 'minicom' set to that port and see if you get any response to AT
commands.
If that works, you could put that line in /etc/rd.c/rd.local
