Thnk you. It all makes sense now. I have a few "good" books on
Linux, but more from a newbie perspective. How to get around and
intall things, etc. They served me well for the first 6 months or so.
Looks like I need to make another trip to the bookstore to get some
more "meaty" in-depth references.

Subject: Error Installing Caldera eDesktop 2.4
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 16:10:30 GMT
I'm trying to install Caldera eDesktop 2.4 onto a Quantum 10GB hard drive.
The hard drive is currently formatted as FAT32 and has nothing on it, just
one partition of 10GB. I booted from the Caldera CD-ROM to install
eDesktop. I chose the Standard Installation option and the installer
proceeds to the next screen where it loads the kernel and boots the kernel.
The kernel loads fine but when the installer tries to boot the kernel I get
this error message:
"Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03"
The installer then just hangs, not allowing me to do anything. The computer
I'm installing eDesktop onto is a Asus P3B-F motherboard, PIII 650E, 64 MB
SDRAM, Asus V3800AGP Deluxe video card (NVIDIA Riva TNT 2 Ultra chipset),
PS/2 Microsoft mouse and PS/2 Microsoft keyboard, 3COM 905C-TX NIC card,
Acer 40X IDE CD-ROM and a Plextor 8W/4RW/32R CD-R drive.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

I don't know that much about FreeBSD, but I know that in Linux, if you
absolutely need root access, you can type, 'linux single' at the LILO
prompt, while sitting in front of the mentioned machine, but you can't
login as anyone else while root is going. If there's an equivalent for
FreeBSD, you could just go in as root, and force a password change, or
you coould use userconf, and create a user with root priveleges, to do
your admin work. But if it comes to the point that you never get your
root password back, you probably will have to eventually
reinstall/upgrade.

You have old modules from the previous kernel left. These do not fit into the
new kernel. No problem if you don't need them.

I'm trying to set up my HP 850C printer on a GNU/Debian 2.2 system but
I can't load lp.o. The error it gives is the following:
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/lp.o: invalid parameter parm_io
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/lp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/lp.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/lp.o: insmod lp failed
I did load parport and parport correctly.
The command I use to try the load of lp.o is: modprobe lp io=0x378 irq=7
And I know the settings are correct (I needed them for loading parport_pc
anyway).
Can anyone give a hint on what's wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 11:01:29 -0500
I have not been able to get sound for events (e.g., login, logout, menu
item activation, the annoying sounds that go with AOL Instant
Messenger) when running under GNOME. I do have sound working. I can
listen to RealPlayer files, hear embedded sound in web pages using
Netscape, listen to various types of sound files with XMMS. Further, if
I run under KDE, sounds for events work.
If I use the GNOME Configuration Tool to "Enable sound server
startup," then when I log in it takes 30 seconds or longer, rather than
the second or two required otherwise. Also, it then takes longer to
load programs. And I still don't get sounds for events (even when the
"Sounds for events" box in the GNOME Configuration Tool is checked )!
None of the systems people here can figure it out.
Here are the details of the setup I'm using:
Linux Mandrake release 7.0, Operating System Release 2.2.14-15 mdk
Pentium III processor
Ensoniq ES1371 sound card
Obviously this isn't a problem that is preventing me from doing useful
work, but it's a little disturbing that something is wrong and (so
far) the problem is a mystery. I would be grateful for any constructive
suggestions.

Well, I guess that depends on which distribution you have. In RH6.2, all I
had to do was mount the CD-ROM and install KDE. I know you are doing it the
reverse way but it should still work, just find the Gnome RPMS on the CD and
away you go.
Or, you could check http://www.helixcode.com and install HelixGnome. In
RH6.2, you can use a program called switchdesk to switch between gnome and
KDE.

You don't have any servers installed.
Here is a simple way to get it on your system:
mount your CD and change over to the RPMS directory (usually
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS, but it will be different if you're using SuSE
or something else). Do an "rpm -Uvh XFree86*" to get all the XFree86
packages installed. If you have it, install Xconfigurator as well and
then run Xconfigurator as the root user and follow directions. If you
do not have Xconfigurator, then run xf86config and use that method.

Easy answer:
You should use your distribution's package for updating the kernel.
Real answer:
You need to understand that your kernel has several parts, and they
need to interact with the init process. You should copy your
System.map over after updating the kernel. You should either keep the
exact same configuration (including any initrd stuff) that your
distribution's kernel uses or you'll need to edit some rc files to
make all the error messages go away. You're probably not compiling in
the correct module for your ethernet card and all the necessary
modules for NFS to function properly.

The first could be any number of things, including that the font is
actually missing from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ or is corrupted.
The second is completely harmless, from my experience and from what I've
read.

Hi Keith,
I have not set this up under Linux yet, but I beleive it is possible. Take
a look at the off-line mailing HOWTO. It uses fetchmail and procmail to do
what you want. I did do this under Windowz, and this method has some serious
drawbacks. I'd rather see if my ISP can give me a good deal on an ETRN
service, but this might be expensive. Just my 2c.

It doesn't much matter; tools like nmap can fingerprint TCP/IP stacks
anyway (unless you use some sort of proxy). If you really want to
change it, the easy way would be to load the httpd binary into emacs
and search for "Apache/1.3.12 (Unix)" (or whatever) and change it by
hand to something else.

You can always set it up "by hand" and not with the printtool. See
the printing documents that come with Samba (located in
/usr/doc/samba* if you're using packages).

Hi,
Just wondering. If two people want to work and there is one machine
we can share it though remote login and remote X-sessions, but is seems
almost possible to do this without two computers by connecting two
keyboards, mice and monitors.
The idea seems to be to stick the two keyboards in the PS/2 slots, the
two mice on two serial ports and use two graphics cards.
My machine is based on the D815EEA Intel motherboard, has a built-in
graphics card that can be disabled, an AGP and enough PCI slots. I
happen to have a PCE Matrox 200 card around and don't mind buying
some more hardware if needed.
Could this be done? There is some mention in old kernel mailing lists,
but no clear statement or howto. Anyone?

Subject: REQ: suggestions about MAKE prob on statically compiled system
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 17:20:55 GMT
I am trying to build a linux system from scratch. I have followed the
models presented by diylinux.com and linuxfromscratch.org but end up
getting stuck in the same place (trying to do a configure or make in
the new system). My problem has to be a simple one, but the solution
has evaded me for the better part of a week.
My question requiring suggestion is where can I find further information
on configuring and installing linux from source code? Does anyone know
of any books webpages etc? My reason for doing this is purly
educational. I learn by trial and error and this project has presented
me with a lot of both.
The following gives a little summary of what I'm trying to do and where
I am getting stuck for anyone who cares to offer an opinion -- and any
opinions/suggestions would be appriciated.
I am running RedHat 6.2 Zoot on a i686 machine as my stable, working
version of linux I call it linux1. The 'linux from source' version, I
call linux2
A little background -- I am able to boot into linux1 in single user mode
and mount all of my file systems. Therefore, although they are
installed statically, bash and sysvinit works correctly (as well as some
of the other progs that I've compiled such as mount, ls, umount etc in
this static manner).
linuxfromscratch model - scenerio 1:
I install the following packages statically by compiling them on the
linux1 system and installing them to the linux2 filesystem:
binutils, bzip2, diffutils, fileutils, gcc, glibc / glibc-crypt /
glibc-linuxthreads, grep, gzip, make, sed, sh-utils, tar, textutils
util-linux
Once this is done I reboot into linux2, mount the system with mount -o
remount,rw / ( I mount the rest of my filesystem with the appropriate
mount /dev/hdXX command and turn the swapon) and try to configure GCC in
order to recompile it dynamically. The ./configure command does
nothing. Just as a 'lets see what it will do', I tried configuring GCC
in linux1 then making it in linux2 but make gave me the following error
make: *** empty string invalid as filename . Stop
make: *** [install-gcc] Error 2
Scenerio 2 diylinux:
I deleted all of the stuff that I compiled and installed from scenerio 1
started over (except for some files in [linux2]/etc such as group,
inittab, fstab, and the password file etc..)
compiled the following statically on linux1 and installed on linux2:
autoconf, automake, binutils, fileutils, findutils, grep, gzip, ld.so,
m4, make, mawk, sed, sh-utils, tar, texinfo, textutils, util-linux and
glibc (although to install glibc, I just unpacked an rpm from the root
directory of linux2 )
The problem here is at the next stage. I am supposed to make config on
the kernel from linux2 but make gives me the following error.
Makefile:175: arch//Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make targt 'arch//Makefile'. Stop
I have decided that whatever is missing or installed improperly that is
causing make to Error out is the problem. Does this sound correct? Any
suggestions would be appriciated?
Thanks

Well, after 3 weeks, it finds my modem, dials, and stays connected, but now
the connection is useless to me, as netscape, chat, or licq will not find a
connection at all it seems. Non of these programs will even close until I
drop the connections. Any Ideas?
TIA, Gareth.
