2M can make bootable 1.7-meg diskettes. I'm pretty sure it only works
for MS-DOS, though; I don't think you could boot Linux from a 2M disk.

Yes, I did.
Again, my scenario is:
My Linux Mandrake7 (kernel 2.2.14) Couldn't boot from my hard disk, because
it couldn't find my hard disk. So, I booted the system using a floppy boot
disk every time.
Now, I have just added a VPN masquerading patch to it, and recompiled it.
The whole procedure was:
*******************************
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzdisk
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-1mdklinus
cd /boot
rm -f vmlinuz
ln -fs vmlinux-2.2.14-1mdklinus vmlinuz
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy #mount my former boot disk
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/mnt/floppy/vmlinuz-2.2.14-1mdklinus
cd /mnt/floppy
rm -f vmlinuz
ln -fs vmlinux-2.2.14-1mdklinus vmlinuz
umount /mnt/floppy
********************************
If I boot the linux with my modified boot disk, I get an error message:
boot:
loading linux.........
Uncompressing Linux...
ran out of input data
--System halted
If I boot the linux with my hard disk, or with the new floppy disk created
by "make bzdisk", I get an error message:
:
:
request_module[block-major-33]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 21:05
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:05
The second method of booting seems that the kernel has been loaded. So there
is no problem with the new kernel. The problem is that it can't mount my
hard disk.
So, what I have to do is to modify my former floppy boot disk correctly.
Any more advice would be much appreciated.

Make sure you have the rsh daemon running on the server machine. Make
sure you can connect to the server using rsh (from outside CVS).

This doesn't directly apply to the question, but if you use Partition Magic
4 you might want to be aware of this.
I've had PM 4 trash an Ext2 filesystem when it resized it. The damage is
very subtle. Everything appears okay. Even an fsck right after the resize
doesn't indicate any problems. But over a couple weeks I started noticing
strange screwy things going on in my system. When I fsck'ed the /usr
partition again, it was screwed, and couldn't be fixed.
I've never had other problems with my Ext2 partitions. And there is no
other event that would explain the problem, other than that PM4 had been
used very recently to enlarge the damaged partition.
It is my belief that using PM 4 to expand an Ext2 partition was directly
responsible for the problems I suffered.

You have to install and configure SAMBA, You can find all you need to
know about it in the HOWTO-SAMBA, or SMB-HOWTO. I've done it once, but
it was a long time ago, so I don't remember very well what has to be
done. The only thing I know is that everything was in the documentation

I hate to suggest this, but if you can forego the pretty graphical installer,
you might try the "text" install of RH 6.2. As the various distros have
"improved" their hardware sniffing capability, they've also increased the
possibility of getting hung up on a particular hardware condition. The
text install skips some of the hardware sniffing, since it doesn't require
a graphical display or a mouse.

DOS fdisk can't touch NTFS. For this reason Windows-only ITS types
keep a copy of the freeware utility delpart to nuke those pesky
NTFS and all other sorts of partitions.
However, non-DOS fdisks have no difficulty with nuking NTFS. Among
your possibilities would be to boot the NT install medium (floppies
or CD), then repartition pursuant to an NT installation, but abort
the actual installation.
Or, assuming your Suse version is 6.3 or 6.4, make yourself a Suse
boot floppy from your CD (or from www.suse.com) using the DOS utility
rawrite. A boot floppy allows you to choose to run the older text-based
version of the Suse's YaST installer. Once you've booted the floppy,
chosen YaST1, loaded the module for your CD-ROM drive (if it's an
odd one, Sound Blaster or some other not-quite-ATAPI drive you may
also need to rawrite a "modules" floppy from the CD), then you will
have the installation option to set up your target medium. You will
be able to repartition your 6 Gig disk --I'd recommend all but 100
Megs as Linux native, and the last 100 Megs as a swap partition --
and you'll format your new partitions and set your root mount point ("/")
from this same screen. Since
you've booted Linux from a floppy, you don't have to worry about
errors stemming from attempting to manipulate a mounted partition.
Or, also assuming that you have 6.3 or 6.4, and if your CD-ROM and
bios support
the el torito standards for a bootable CD, just boot from the 2nd
CDROM of the Suse set, which will pull up text-based YaST1 (booting
from the 1st CD pulls up the less-flexible graphical YaST2). Then,
proceed with repartitioning and reformatting as above.
Then proceed with the install. Should present no further problem.

The scenario seems possible, however DOS Fdisk will not be able to
detect the linux partitions, you will have to do this with either fdisk
under Linux, or partitonj magic (version 4 or above the older ones do
not recognize extended 2)
You CANNOT copy Linux with cp from one disk to another, however, it
might be possible with tar.
Hope this helps

I don't think Linux-partition is extended dos (because of the
partition-info showed by Linux) but that DOS just can't see the
linux-partition (therefor there is no mention of it). You just have to
run (install if you haven't) lilo (and make sure that your lilo.conf is
written properly). To run lilo, you must be root (lilo is normally
located in /sbin).
A possible configuration-file for lilo (lilo.conf) could be (BUT DON'T
USE THIS ONE!!!!!)
--- START lilo.conf ---
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux
restricted
password=MyPassword
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
other=/dev/hda2
label=win95
--- STOP lilo.conf ---
Modify your own so that win95 will also be available, then run
/sbin/lilo.

There are a lot of guides available on the internet. See
www.linuxdoc.org.
I particulary like SAG (System Administrator's Guide) and LAME (Linux
Administring Made Easy). Both books mention the file-system organisation
(better than I could ever do).

Depends of the router. It probably has a DHCP-server built-in, so you
have to configure Linux to receive its information. DrakConf will handle
this (select DHCP instead of manual TCP/IP-config).

What do you want? If it is to run Linux as the server (like mentioned in
the mail) you should do more than just configure the IP. You have to
install DHCP and other services you want to offer.
Maybe you could tell us what distribution you have (if it is RedHat, you
would be good off reading 'Optimizing and Securing Red Hat Linux',
because it mentions all aspects of setting up servers - under RedHat
ofcourse).

I have used the export command like so
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk118
and
export CLASSPATH=.:JAVA_HOME:/lib/classes.zip
and once I run these, I can use
javac to compile .java programs and run them.
The problem is, every time I boot up my machine, I seem to have to run
these. is there any way to make this a permanent situation?
Thanks - John
