Hm. Looks like all the distros you've tried base on RedHat.
So the error is likely to occur in all of them.
If you can get a SuSE, it might work (different setup tool).
Once I experienced a hanging system during Linux setup,
I had to disable the CPU caches in the BIOS setup for some reason.
Could be as well the boot kernel doesn't like part of your hardware -
candidates here are SCSI adapters, NICs, sound cards etc.
Cheers

I was wondering if anyone has ever installed Linux, distro does not matter,
on a Compaq Presario 5700N. I have just bought this comp a few weeks ago..
now I have read that there are problems getting X to work properly with
Presario's or Compaqs in general for that matter. The stats for my system
are as follows:
466mhz celeron
64mb ram
10gb HD
onboard Intel 810 video chipset
onboard sound. ESS solo-1
56k modem..I assume its WinModem. so I am hust going to install a new one.
17in monitor.
Ok now I have several distro's so I can try them all to see which one best
suits this system. I prefer Mandrake 7. but I have redhat 6 and 6.1, suse
6.2, GNU/Debian, Mandrake 6 and 7, and stormlinux 2000.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you first log in, quit out of the GNOME help browser. Then quit out of
the file manager. Then look in your system or settings menu for a menu item
called 'save session'. That menu will save your current session. The next
time you log in your help browser and file manager should not come up.
You can change the screen resolution using the command Xconfigurator. Read
some documentation before you do that though.

Close the window. When you log out, check the save settings box.

This doesn't really have anything to do with gnome. You need to
configure your X-server to use a higher resolution.

Don't really know what you mean here. Do you want a program to start
every time you start X? In this case, start the program and then log
out, checking the save settings box on your way out.

Subject: Large IDE drive and dualboot
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 15:00:08 -0400
Hey all,
I've been trying to install a dual boot Win98/Linux system. And gettin
really confused and frustrated. Basically my goals are to create a dual boot
system using lilo as my loader. I have a 15G Maxtor Harddrive and I'd like
to use half the drive for my Windows OS and half the drive for my Linux OS.
The problem I'm having seems to revolve around the 1024 cylinder limitation
of the loader and boot drive of Linux. (I've got a Mandrake 6.5 distro). The
manuals mention the limitiation as an aftert thought and provide no
direction to overcome it.
I've determined that I have to put Windows on the front of my primary drive
as I see no way of reserving space or making a 'hole' in the partition table
with the DOS version of fdisk. My problem is that my HD is being recocgnized
by disk druid as having 29,000+ cylinders so this limits me to ~528MB for my
windows installation.
My BIOS recognizes the whole drive.
What gives??
any sugestions??

You could write a perl script and set up a cron job to
do this. Perl script will cycle thru the users directory
and do a 'du'. This will be compared to the quota. If it
is within a certain range, a mail message could be sent
to the user.

the system won't boot if ELF support isn't built-in. A user posted a message a
few days ago about taking out ELF support and the system wouldn't boot anymore.
I believe one reason is that the kernel itself is an ELF binary but I could be
wrong.

Hi Ron ,
I cannot solve all your problems but just last week I installed SuSE Linux
and Windows 95 on a new 13gb disk. I created the partitions with Linux and
didn't use dos fdisk at all(I tried but it screwed up my Linux partitions
and changed their types). Also I had to make a boot disk for both dos and
Linux. I made both boot disks with Lilo. I think you can forget disk druid
for your size of disk.Although it isn't used with my version of Linux I've
read in a magazine that it only works up to 8gb or so (I don't know how true
that is). I also put the dos partition in first.
Hope this is of some help
Although I have two boot disks to start, Windows boots automatically without
the disk whereas Linux won't start without the disk. I also formatted my dos
partition with Linux.
Regards,
Gary

Hello,
I have set up two Linux-Mandrake 7.1 systems on our network (with
hopes of upgrading all systems very soon). I use the /user directory
to automount certain account directories (which works well). The
problem is that in my syslog (both systems) I see the following
regular (repeated) entries:
Jul 26 14:57:41 statx automount[601]: attempting to mount entry /user/man
Jul 26 14:57:41 statx automount[4256]: lookup(yp): lookup for man failed: No such key

Jul 26 14:57:41 statx automount[601]: attempting to mount entry /user/man8
Jul 26 14:57:41 statx automount[4258]: lookup(yp): lookup for man8 failed: No such key
in map
I have no idea what program is causing this. How do I go about
figuring out which program is attempting to mount /user/man pages. I
strace'd man and it does not seem to be the one doing it.
Any idea on how to track down the culprit program?
Sincerely,

"Netscape: Error

This means that some or all hosts will be unreachable.

set the $SOCK_NS enviroment variable to point at the appropriate
