If your having difficulty with getting GNOME to run, try installing the
Helixcode GNOME packages. They're very easy to use and set up a lot of the
really messy stuff for you.

.
Maybe it's just me, but I am totally confused about the differences of
IPchains, IPfirewall and IPmasquerading, even after reading the howto's and
the faqs.
What I want to do is this:
I got a Cable/Broadband Ethernet connection. I want to set this system up as
a connection between my local network and the internet. The systems on the
local network should connect to the internet through the 'gateway' system
that is connected to both networks. I dont want anyone from the internet to
be able to acces the systems on the local network. The systems on the local
network should not use their own ip's to access the internet, but use the ip
adres of the 'gateway' so the isp sees only one ip adres.
I am running Mandrake v7.1, on kernel 2.2.14. I am more than happy to figure
out how to set things up for myself, but can anyone tell me WHICH PACKAGE I
should use for this purpose?
Thanks.

Hello all --
I installed a 6.2 RH system, and I don't know if I have all correct
packages installed. I do make menuconfig; make dep; make clean with no
errors.
But then using "make" or "make bzImage" displays this error (this is as
far as it gets). I'm recompiling as I am trying to install FreeS/WAN
but I haven't done anything but unpacked the tarball (I was just trying
to test a kernel recompile) outside the kernel source directory. I've
never recompiled the kernel on this machine before... The version is
2.2.16-3 (RH release).
Does anyone know what I am missing/doing wrong?
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o

I've had this problem before. It happens when X can't start properly. The
best way to find out why X can't run is to start up without X then just
run "X". This will produce a log file in /var/log/XFree86.log (I think).
Check that log file to see what's wrong and then try to fix the problem
(make sure you take a copy of your config file first).
Also, the Voodoo 3 driver is combined in the SVGA X Server. I really
wouldn't recommend XFree86 4.0 at the moment though... the latest 3.x
versions work fairly well and are a lot easier to handle

There's a somewhat elderly mini-HOWTO on the subject (see
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+Win95.html). It actually covers
Win95, but most of the material should still be relevant to Win98. For
still more information, but less as a percentage specifically about
Win98/Linux, there's my book, _The Multi-Boot Configuration Handbook_
(http://www.rodsbooks.com/multiboot/).

The filesystem type parameter (msdos vs. vfat) determines whether Linux
uses (vfat) or does not use (msdos) VFAT-style long filename
information. If you're using the FAT partition in Windows (as is almost
certain if it's a FAT-32 variety), then you'll do better to mount it as
type vfat. If you use type msdos, it's possible that you'll lose long
filenames if you manipulate or copy files.
Linux handles the FAT-16/FAT-32 stuff automatically; there's no need to
specify any special mount options for this.
Incidentally, the phrase "partition type" usually applies to partition
type codes that go in the partition table. There are different codes for
FAT-16 vs. FAT-32 (and there are several versions of each), but there
are no different partition type codes for FAT-with-short-filenames vs.
VFAT partitions. That's entirely a matter of whether the OS chooses to
use the optional VFAT long filename features.

I had a similar problem. Holding down the CONTROL key just took me to
an executable that caused my computer to hang.
I couldn't use YaST2 either, because it requires 48 megs of RAM.
But I booted from the "bootdisk." And when it said "booting," I typed
"manual.' That gave me access to the text-based install. And I
installed successfully on a Pentium 120 ( old Compaq Deskpro).
Good luck

Hi,
I'm using the 2.4.0-test2 kernel's usb drivers and have set up my usb-mouse
as *extended device* under XFree3.3.6. Is it true that such a device can
only handle 4 buttons? This would mean, that there is no possibility to set
up the mouse wheel.. Anyone knows how to do this? BTW the PS/2 track-point
is pretty neat (can navigate it while typing ;) and I'd like to keep it as
primary input.

I was just reconfiguring my Vaio with the 2.4.0-test2 kernel and after
playing around a bit somehow gdm got screwed: it won't start any kind of
window-manager - after successfull login the screen flickers once and I'm

into KDE and Gnome just fine, but gdm does look better.
Can anyone tell me where to look to solve this?

What you want is ipchains. It handles ipmasquerading (NAT) and packet
filtering (firewall), etc. This needs to only run on the gateway box. I
have no idea what IPFirewall is, and you don't necessarily need it.
There is a sample script here that you can probably modify quite easily:
http://personal.bellsouth.net/~hburgiss/linux/ipchains.html
This has ipmasquerading setup, and decent firewalling. Maybe some minor
changes to fit your requirements.
Then, assuming the Linux gateway box has one NIC to the internet, and
one to a hub or switch that goes to a LAN. You set your LAN boxes
default gateway to the IP of the second NIC, and the netmask as the
same.

Well you need the IPchains package and the general networking
packages. IPchains basically sets rules on what you allow into
the computer and what you do not. IPmasquerading allows you
to disguise one computer as another simply put. A firewall
is what you get when you get when you have a machine using
IPchains and IPmasquerading to screen traffic from/to the net.
All this is subject to revision/corrections by those in the
know. You'll need 2 nics in the machine connected to the net/
your isp. One nic goes to the modem, the other to a hub. The
other computers should have nics that connect to the hub.
The nic connected to the modem will have the ip address your
isp gives you (static or dynamic). The nics connected to the
hub will have 192.168.x.y addresses. Some ppl use 10.x.y.z or
172.1.a.b addresses. This you will need to configure using
Mandrake's config tools.
IPchains-HOWTO Section 3.1. The rules listed are the most
basic. Start off with these. Also read section 5.7 and
add the if statement to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
IP Masquerade-HOWTO Section 3 is most relevant. Your
kernel should already have masquerading built into it
so it should be a matter of turning it on. I use RH
and didn't bother with rc.firewall. Amend your rc.local
to suit using snippet below.
========<snippet of rc.local>=======
echo "IP Masquerading modules loading......"
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_user
echo "IP Masquerading modules loading...... done"
===========<end snippet>=============
Read sections 5 & 6. These are very helpful.
Firewall-HOWTO Sections 2, 3 & 6 are what you need. Section
8 is covered in the stuff above. Section 6 tells what you
need in your kernel. This is only needed on the machine with
the two nics.
Hope this helps........................

Overall, the easiest way to go is to install the latest version of COL,
rather than one that is well over a year and a half old. That would be
COLeD2.4. It will most likely have native support for your videocard.
Barring this, you can still install, but will have to either use the
SVGA server (if it supports that card at all), or run in console mode.
If you're going to be starting in console mode, then you'll definitely
want to do a LISA install, found on the CD in /col/launch/lisa.

Yep, I know this: RH guys have forgotten two symlinks; the first one is
this you are refering to. Please take a look at your /usr/include and
the /include under the kernel source code. You will see there's no
'bits' subdir under /usr/include, but that it exists under the source
code /include, so you need a symlink named /usr/include/bits pointing to
the 'bits' directory under source code. Next, if you try to compile you
will have the same kind of error regarding some
.../include/asm/whatsoever (which I can't recall from top of my mind).
Again, you will see there's no .../asm directory under /usr/include, but
that it does exist under your source code includes (indeed it will be a
symlink pointing to your architecture asm headers, probably something
like i386asm. Once again you need to create the 'asm' symlink to your
/usr/includes and everything will go just OK.

Hi,
I have just ordered a new 30G disk for my PII-400 machine. With my old 10G
one, I now have 40G disk space to play around. I have installed Win95/Red
Hat 6.0 dual system before on the 10G disk and soon used up the space. So
when Win95 crashed I just reinstalled the Win95, not Linux. And now I want
to put Linux back.
I want to start from Red Hat 6.0 since I have done this before. I will use
10G space dedicated to Linux and another 10G share with Win95. Later I
probably will play with other flavor like Mandrake. I would like your advice
on how to partition my disk so I won't need to re-partition to install new
stuff.
