I had a similar problem with Mandrake 7.1
I too used the expert mode to install; did not want to loose my Win
98 partitions "c" and "d".
I used System Commander 2000 to add a Linux partition. Then I
installed Mandrake 7.1 using its graphical installation in expert
mode. Everything went well. The partition table indicated a Win 98
partition "c" and "d", the swap partition I had previously created as
well as the Linux boot partition I had created.
I installed and then re-booted. Linux came up fine. I could even
access my internal ATAPI Zip and the CD-ROM by clicking on their
respective icons, my printer printed and I have sound when in KDE.
I logged off and rebooted. System Commander came up, I accepted
booting to Win 98 and Windows loaded. My "c" drive files seemed to
all be available, but, there was no "d" drive.
Nothing that I knew to do would reveal my "d" drive.
Back to Linux. Have to use the rescue floppy but loads fine. Open a
terminal window, then use "fdisk -l", all partitions are present in
the partition table. Back to KDE, I can access the Windows drives
(Both of them) and open compatible files using Linux word processor,
or clicking on icon and then selecting program to "Open with...".
I just want to be able restore the partition table so that Windows
can see my "d" drive. Scared to try Dos "fdisk /mbr" or what ever is
the proper syntax.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Subject: Linux printer server?
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 23:27:59 GMT
I have a question. Is it somewhat easily possible to setup a simple
computer as a Linux print server on a Novell Netware 3.x network? We have
an office Novell network and we have two computers that need to share a
color printer via the network. Right now we have a screwed up setup where a
user's pc is connected to the printer and has to be on and connected to the
network, then the other user can print to the printer. The problem is that
the other computer has to be on (its Win95, so it crashes frequently) and
the pc is used constantly by a word processor, so when a print job comes
through the computer almost becomes unusable until the print job is
finished. What I was thinking was setting up a Linux print server since we
have around 10 Pentium class desktops that have been replaced and are just
in storage, unused. My setup would be to configure a Linux box with a print
queu, the printer connected to the box via parallel, and an ethernet card in
the box connected to our network. But I'm not sure how the network will
recognize the box, and the print que (sp?).
I've checked the FAQ's at linux.org, but none seem to really cover it, the
FAQ's I saw were more on how to print from a Linux box and not so much on
setting up a stand-alone print server.

Are you running an ftp server on your machine? Check your
/etc/inetd.conf file and make sure the 'ftp' line is not commented out.

Well, I jumpered the turbo button to be always on, then I wired the
turbo switch to turn the PC speaker on or off. Newer computers might
not have these features, though.
Otherwise, just unplug the PC speaker.

Subject: Alternate way to edit k menu???
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 23:58:11 GMT
Ok, I am using Mandrake 7.0 and I have noticed a bug that when you edit
the k menu using the menu editor under the k button and then panel
subdirectory, it gets rid of the arrows at the bottom of menus that are
so large that they can't fit from top to bottom of the screen without
making a new row. So it cuts off a lot of programs. But as long as you
never use the menu editor, that never happens. But I want to add some
programs to it. It seems like there has to be some directory or file in
the computer that I could add links or edit the file to add programs to
the k button without using the menu editor. Does that exist? Has
anyone ever heard of this before?

Yes, useradd -p takes the encrypted password, not the cleartext password.
Not much use in creating lots of accounts, unless you want to write a
little perl script or C program to encrypt them.
Do you have "expect"? (often comes with Tcl/Tk). It has a script "mkpasswd"
which can generate a random password and apply it to an account. You could
use this in your script to give each account a unique random password (you
then need to figure out how to get these to the users, of course).
(Caution: the shadow suite also comes with a command called mkpasswd which
does a very different thing.)

It sounds like a graphic install problem. Go in text mode install, read in the book,
you should
be able to type text or something of the sort. The easiest distribution installation I
found for
that problem was SuSE. On my son's computer there was no way I could install
graphically and I
even had to type in stuff in run and crash method until I got the right installation.
If you have
a similar problem there is no way you could install Linux with any distribution as
long as you
insist on a graphic install.
With SuSE you just put in the text install diskette and you got it made.

Hi,
2 questions
1. I am adding some code to the ELF section of the kernel and am just
exploring some options about recompilaion of the kernel. I've heard that
you can have sections of the kernel as modules and just compile and add
them to a running kernel. is this possible with the ELF bianry format
code? Would there be any issues involved with running executables when I
unload the ELF module from the kernel?
2. All the discussions I see say religiously " make a emergeny boot
floppy disk with the old kernel image" when compiling and running a new
kernel. I would like to know if it is posible just to use the lilo.conf
file and specify two boot options. ne for the old kernel and one for the
new kernel. That way if the new kernel stuffs up then I can jsut reboot
and use the old kernel by pressing TAB at the boot prompt.
eg.
A sample section from a lilo.conf file... would this work?
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label=linux
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.1
label=old-kernel
root=/dev/hda2

I've had the problem for a while, but assumed it was because I was running
Netscape 3; however, I find I get it with Netscape 3, Netscape 4, and Mozilla.
I can cut and paste from Netscape to an xterm, but not in the opposite
direction. I'm running fvwm2 and XFree86 3.3.5. Do I need Gnome or KDE?
Is this just a problem I'll have to live with?
