If you will be exclusively using Linux on that hardware, a less
expensive video card may be just fine. I'm using a Riva TNT card on
mine and it works great.
AFAIK, XFree86/Mesa still doesn't support hardware 3D acceleration, so
all the new features of the latest boards won't gain you very much. In
terms of 2D performance (Which definitely affects XFree86), IMO, most
modern boards perform equally well.
(If hardware accelerated OpenGL is available for Linux, I'd love to
know. A pointer to a web site for a non-commercial offering would be
greatly appreciated.)

Well, nothing more than just "copy and paste", for all the three files:
passwd, group and shadow. I've done it for several machines. Of course
you will need to move there home directory and mails (if in

I use linux for 2D things only, and haven't bothered to put in the openGL
stuff, nor have i told X that there are not one but two voodoo2 video cards
in it in addition to the G200 that it is using currently. ( that g200 is
just great! ) I don't have any linux games, nor do I need any 3d modelling
tools ( yet) , which require 3d support.
My 3D invloment is limited to three or four games, all of which were written
only for the windows market, and work very well on the Voodoo2 cards ,
except for one that seems not to like the new 3dfx drivers ( which I needed
because the processor is now a 700 mhz tbird ) namely, Falcon 4.0, patch
1.08 .
True, for linux only, a currently inexpensive TNTU would be great.
Unfortunately, with windows and those games , I would much better go with a
geForce or an MX. I am loathe to use the former because my mb has the
irongate chipset. GigaByte has told me that one of their GeForce boards
works well with my model. But I'm holding out for when the MX model drops
further , and the drivers become available for X. Till then, I am with G200+
2 Voodoo2's.
How do I choose a VC ?
1) find those that are compatable with the MB chipset
2) then from those,
a) find the ones that have X support,
OR
b)wait till the support arrives.
I am in stage 2 b right now.

Hi you all,
I am trying to install RedHat 6.2 on a NEC versa 6200MMX laptop,
unfortunately I can have the floppy and CD-ROM on it at the same time.
But that has not been a problem since
the 6.2 CD is a bootable CD-ROM.
The problem I'm having is that the install goes ok and when the machine
reboots I get the error.
insert disk on drive A
boot up fail
press any key when ready
Well, I have try to re-installing a few times with the same result, I
have chosen to install LILO into the MBR record, and also try the Linux
rescue option from the CD-ROM.
Here is were it gets a little sticky, when I choose the linux rescue
option it takes me to a command prompt from there I did some poking
around and at first look it seems that not
all commands at present, LILO is not on the /sbin directory and the
/var directory does not exit.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated, thank you!!

3 options:
Use the installation boot-disk if you have a boxed set, and type rescue
at startup.
Use the rescue disk you made during installation process.
Use the redhat CD to boot and type rescue at startup.
NOTE: Did you create windows partitions BEFORE starting Windows setup?
If not, well, then Windows has overwritten your partitions anyway.

There is no ipop3d in my /usr/sbin/ directory. Now I have searched

it says it is already installed and when I type:

it says that the package is NOT installed.
First of all is the the right package for me to install and why isn't
it installing or uninstalling?

In GNU/Linux, the '/usr/local/' hierarchy is used for locally install
software, i.e. software that is not available in the GNU/Linux
distribution being used at the site (such as a newer/older/other
version of Perl or a commercial C++ compiler or whatever).
The '/usr/bin/' hierarchy contains executable files that are part of
the GNU/Linux distribution being used at the site. If your GNU/Linux
installation is up-to-date, the command 'perl' in this directory is
probably the latest version of Perl available for the distribution
that you are using.
If you're asking this because you have acquired a Perl script that
needs '/usr/local/bin/perl5' to execute, then I would opt for changing
the first line in the script from
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5
to
#!/usr/bin/perl
since that's where most systems keep their Perl executable.
I hope that helped. If not, ask a system administrator at ANL or come
back here.

Not saying it's easy to set up some of these (3dfx is pretty easy on SuSE
though it's fullscreen only) but all 3dfx chipsets, nvidia TNTs, ATi Rages,
Matrox G200/400 are supported pretty well, and there's developing support
for a few others like S3 ViRGE etc.
Your TNT is probably the 'best' supported atm, with Nvidias closed source
binaries on X4 being very close in performance to those on Windows.
So, that's a little more than no 3D accleration at all. My Voodoo3 3000 goes
like a greased pig under SuSE 6.4, thankyou.

Subject: I'm lost, please help me! LM 7.1 considered my Promise FastTrack 66 like an
unsupported eide PCI, and gigs of unrecoverable data are lost!!
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 17:36:45 GMT
Hi!
Here's the horror story i experienced this afternoon.
I a word...LM 7.1 install won't recognize my FastTrack 66
RAID adapter, considered it some sort of non supported ide
PCI controller...and "repaired" the "bad" partition table...
All this with expert install, and having explicitly choosen to
leave the partition table alone, and to NOT format any partition.
If you want detailed infos, read the rest of my posting.
If you know that there is some sort of log of the operation
that were done to the disks, i could recreate the partitions and get
back the VERY VERY important files i missed (just deleted from
any other media, having scheduled for tonight to burn most of
them on cdr's.
The installation process of Mandrake 7.1 broke up a RAID0
stripeset, erasing all the information about the partitions
contained in such stripeset.
This is nothing less than terrible, as i had many gigs of
apps and data, that are not mirrored in any other disk, and
that i didn't backup...:-(
It's the worst disaster in my informatic life, cause i missed
hundreds of technical documents, that were previously mirrored
on a Jaz drive, and that i erased on the Jaz cartridge just
yesterday...and that i planned to burn on a cdr this evening.
In the meantime i decided to install Mandrake 7.1, and now
everything is gone.
In a few words, my hardware is as follows:
Abit BP6 dual with Celeron 366, on-board HPT366 controller
with a cd and an old eide HD connected, an Acard scsi-2 Ultra
adapter with a Plextor cdr (and occasionally a Jaz connected
externally), a Promise FastTrack 66 RAID adapter with two
Maxtor 10GB 7200rpm configured in RAID0, and another Maxtor
10GB 7200rpm connected to the first eide port of the BX
chipset, like boot disk.
Previously everything worked extremely well, and after a major
hardware swapping i have just added Win 2000 Pro (ACPI SMP
kernel) to the Win 98 and NT4 Server OSes already present.
I started the installation of Mandrake 7.1, with boot
floppy for cd install, and the cd inserted into the cdr
connected to the Acard scsi controller.
Everything was running well, at first, but i had to do
all my choices with the keyboard, cause i used an USB mice
that was not recognized, even after i choose "USB 3 buttons"
for mouse hardware.
The other choices i did were expert installation, and Server
computer.
When it came to the choice of the install partitions, i tried
to make the system use the three partitions i had already
created with Partition Magic 5.0.
The root partition was at the end of the eide HD connected to
the main controller, while for the swap and the /home mounting
point i choose the ext2 and Linux swap partitions already
available on the small (1.2GB) eide disk connected to the HPT366
UDMA66 on-board adapter.
I choose to NOT format any partition...but before it started to
install the .rpm packages the message "formatting" appeared for
a couple of seconds on the screen.
What's more intersting is that BEFORE all this, when i came
to the partition selection screen, a message appeared saying that
there were problems with the partitions, and asking if it should
fix it; i choose cancel (NOT OK!), and i went on.
I suppose that it "fixed" something anyway....and my RAID became
an emty one...still usable and healthy (Promise bios checks for
it at every boot), but with no partitions defined!
What makes me crazy is that all the data are still there,
but i have no idea about the exact size of the three partitions,
so i can't recreate it.
I swear that trying to read the disk "physically" would
bring to nowhere, as it's not a single physical disk, but a
virtual drive where all the writes are split between the
two disks, in such a way that only the Promise bios can
interpretate.
I didn't wont to do nothing before asking for help, but i am
afraid that software like Tiramisu and the like could be of
no help for me (but we say in Italy that "the hope is the
last to die...").
Am i wrong?
Anyway...the installation process did not succeed, cause after a
while the computer suddenly rebooted.
It was about at one third or less.
After the reboot i looked at what happened and i found out that
all my RAID partitions disappeared!
The only hope to recreate the original partitions i can
think of (with my small knowledge of Linux systems), is that there
could be somewhere a log file that listed all the actions that the
installation process did to my disks...
I hope you could help me.
If i loose all the content of the three RAID partitions, it would be
one of the worst nightmares i could even dream of...
I had no cdr backup of 90% of it, cause i needed the drivers, docs,
technical literature, capture of Web sites, for my everyday work of
hardware assistance...so i preferred to keep everything on a faster
HD, with a Jaz cartridge that mirrored its content.
In the last two days i erased the Jaz cause i needed it, and i
transferred everything on two of the RAID partitions, cause the HD
were the data resided became one of the two disks of the stripe set!!
I was not feeling good with just one copy...and i planned to backup
everything on cdr media tonight...but i had the bad idea to install
Linux in the afternoon:-(
Please forgive my convoluted english, and my long and heavy posting.
I am in your hands...please give me some advice!
please drop me a line by email if you see some way to get out from
this very uncomfortable situation, i can't monitor this newsgroup as
i'd like to be able to do (take out NONAG from my address!)

I have downloaded stunnel (a program to allow non SSL ip daemons to have

imap via the redhat 6.2 install. I created certificates as
stunnel.pem. I started stunnel with:
/usr/local/sbin/stunnel -d imap -l /usr/sbin/imapd -p
/usr/local/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem
IT started fine without errors accoring to /var/log/messages . I can
telnet to 127.0.0.1:145 (IMAP's default port), but when I try to connect
from netscape with the ssl option enabled, I can't connect and it times
out. BTW, when I connect via telnet, shouldn't I get a message that
says IMAPD or SSL? I searched for a ssl and stunnel log but couldn't
find one. What could be the problem? I realise that there are too many
possibilites, but please make suggestions. I will give you more info
about my system if you need. Thanks

Subject: boot partition is too big
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 11:03:03 -0600
I am trying to install linux on a 15G hd where I left 7GB unpartioned for
linux and rest of It partitioned
for DOS(4 partitions of 2GB each ). When I create / or /boot I always get an
error message that the /boot partition is too big. I am stuck with the
installation process and I couldn' go beyond this.
Could someone please help me on this error. .. This is a second HD and first
one(4Gb) pretty much full by win95.apps..
Thanks in advance.
