Subject: Install linux using hard drive as install disk?
Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2000 05:07:19 GMT
Hello. I need to install RedHat linux (6.1) on this P60
system I have. The onboard floppy controller has gone
bad, so I can't use an installation disk. I don't have
an IDE/floppy controller card I can drop in.
Is there anyway I can put the installation diskette's
contents on to the hard drive I plan on installing to?
Then I could boot from that HD, then it will tell me
to put in the CDROM, it will find it, then the CDROM
install process pretty much takes over, right, and
it will install on that HD that it booted from. Maybe?
Or any other options? This is an old Packard Bell, it
won't boot from the CDROM drive.
I tried installing linux on to the target hard drive
on another machine and then just putting the drive
in the Packard Bell (many times) but could not get it
to work.
Every time it boots up it just goes "01 01 01 01" across
the screen forever.
Would that have anything to do with my SCSI card? In my
normal workstation, the one I used to try to install linux
on to the IDE hard drive and then move it to the Packard Bell,
I use a SCSI drive. I unplugged the drive so it won't boot
from that (and I won't accidentally pick that drive to
install linux to), but the linux install *does* find the
card, I wonder if that makes it install different for some
reason.
I should mention that I get the "01 01 01" thing when booting
from the drive on *either* system. And I have tried a different
IDE drive, same problem.
Thanks for any help.

No, nothing is disabled. However you should make sure you've got
_everything_ you will need for the install. Be informed also that it's
good to have a manual or other book handy, and that sometimes a large
SCSI device will require a boot option to initially get it all going.
Once you're up you can automate things. I've had good luck with RedHat,
SuSE and Caldera.
That said, it's a _Lot_ easier to just buy a boxed set of cd's, etc. I
know because my first install was Slackware 3 from floppies and
downloads. Let me know how it goes,

reboot into single-user mode. edit your /etc/inittab to default to
runlevel 3 (make _Sure_ you read the comments/instructions at the top of
the file!!) then you will be able to fix whatever you need to from a
terminal with no x after a reboot

Well, the motherboard comes with a bunch of (W9x/NT -only) utilities and
drivers. One of the drivers is for busmastering (if I recall correct.ly). it
was needed to get the best performanc out of the on-board hard drive controller.
Others presumably access the "soft off" feature (where the system can be awoken
by a modem ring, or at a specific time, etc.) I guess there's utilities to
set various BIOS options. As I said, VIA had a DOS version of the busmastering
driver on its web site, but no mention of anything for Linux. What I fear is
the same kind of stonewalling on the information to write configuration
utilities and drivers that the guys wanting to write Linux drivers for winmodems
ran into.

Well if the manufacurers are mute about how to access their "acceleration"
features, higher than standard VGA resolutions, and other features of the card,
and there are only W9x/NT drivers for the card, that effectively makes it a
winvideocard, no? No doubt Linux could use it as a dumb VGA card, but who the
hell is going to be satisfied with unaccellerated 640x400 VGA? (That is the
situation I am now in with Win3.x on this system unaccellerated VGA 640x400
only. Bleeach...)
Thanks for the response

No. I spent the first week on getting the hardware to work (2 1/2 days --
bad/incompatable ram) then trying to get DOS and Win3.x up and all my stuff
working. The second week was to be Linux (Corel), but then a family emergency
came up that ate up the last week. I have no time to play "adventure" (try
this.. try that...) . I just got back and have about 18 hours to make a
decision (and get some sleep...) .

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, I've been running basic/standard
486/sx25 for a _long_ time now. Now that I take the plunge an cough up a few
thou for a 2000 system, I'm not going to be satisfied with running it in
"basic/standard" mode. These modern systems are finally getting things right
(like "soft off" mode (with awaking by time, LAN, modem ring, etc) , save to
ram, (all power down except ram refresh, come back where you left off) Bus
mastering, video acceleration, etc. I am not going to be sarisfied with an
operating system that makes me use this like a fast version of a 1986 386
system.
I realize that with the source I can tune the system. That is Linux's main
alure to me. But not if the hardward features are shrouded by the mfgr and his
only support for them are W95 utilities/drivers.
> 95% hardware will work if you are willing to experiment.
Well, I'm willing, just not able. But MOST PC users will not be willing. The
Linux community must face this or Linux will go the way of OS/2 ( IBM's fatal
last words on the issue of drivers: "drivers are the hardware manufacturer's
responsibility". WRONG. Drivers are the responsibility of whoever is trying
to close a sale. And now it is Linux that wants the "sale". It needs the new
users. Most new users don't need it. Certainly hardware manufacturers don't
need it any more than they needed OS/2.

Well, for a 100% true-blue died in the wool Linux user, sure. But what's a
fella who wants to try out Linux to do? Build a whole new system? I _want_
to run Linux. I _want_ it to succeed. But, frankly, I wanted to run OS/2. I
wanted it to succeed. No disrespect, but the responses I have received so far
to my _very_ _fundamental_ question (here is my hardware, will the system you
espouse run on it?) have been _very_ reminicent to the responses similiar
questions got in 1992-1993 regarding OS/2. And the attitudes are almost
identical. I realize this is more attuned to an advocacy group, but as long
as the response is "go play adventure" or "buy different hardware", then Linux
will become as dead-end as OS/2 is.

Subject: Trouble configuring nfs

I'm having a bit of trouble configuring my nfs. The
computers see eachother just fine. The server has ip
10.0.0.1 and the client has 10.0.0.2. I
think I've set everything up correctly on the
server side, however when I type 'showmount millenia',
I just get
Hosts on millenia:
If I type 'showmount -e millenia', I get
Export list for millenia:
/jaz 10.0.0.2
On the server, rpcinfo -p shows:

100005 2 udp 885 mountd
100005 2 tcp 887 mountd

My /etc/exports looks like this:

/etc/hosts.deny:

/etc/hosts.allow:

And finally, the line in /etc/fstab on the client is:

If anybody could help me track down where I'm messing up, I would
really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
