You will need a CD-ROM or network card to install Linux on your old machine.
You will have to create a linux boot floppy.
If you decide to use redhat hat to do your installation:
Download rawrite and boot.img (for CDROM) or bootnet.img (for network card)
Use rawrite to create the linux boot installation floppy.

Hi,
I currently have 2 IDE drives
1st has LILO in the mbr and Win2k
2nd has LINUX (RH 6.0)
I need to get rid of drive1 to use it in a seperate machine.
How do I move LILO to the other drive and just make it boot as a stand-
alone LINUX.
Kind of a LINUX newbie, so any help would be great.
Thanks,

Can anyone show me how to change the system configuration so that linux will

Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 03:09:58 GMT
Hi,
After many, many days of fighting with a 486, trying to get pppoe and
ipmasqing working, I finally got an ISA SCSI card and a 1 GB Seagate
drive so I wouldn't have to worry about 12 hours compiling and then
running out of disk space (previously ~300 MB ... I was trying to
upgrade to a 2.2 kernel to use built-in pppoe because rp-pppoe wasn't
working).
Buuuuuuuuutttttttttttt, now that I have all of this disk space, speed
problems are now plaguing my very existence....for example: yesterday
(ie. in the pre-SCSI days), installing new packages was tedious but
today it is unbelievably slow - so slow that I don't even think the
machine is responding after a while (a few short hdd sounds every minute
or so). Is there something about the SCSI drive/bus/adapter that could
be causing this? I mean, I like the space but I'll go back to 300MB if
everything takes this long! (If it took 12+ hours to compile the kernel
before, it'll take 12+ days at this rate!)
Anything anyone can suggest would be great as the people I'm supposed to
be ipmasqing for are getting mad (and I'm getting very frustrated).
Thanks,
Andrew

Lets say drive one is hda, and two is hdb. Edit /etc/lilo.conf and change
boot=/dev/hda to hdb, run lilo, shut down, remove drive and reboot.
Hope this helps.

You will also need to change your mount points in fstab so that every hdb in
/etc/fstab is changed to hda. Otherwise you won't be able to mount your
partitions including the swap /bin, and /sbin directories...

Subject: IBM 60G0611 LAN adapter configuration
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 03:47:07 GMT
I recently picked up a pair of IBM 60G0611 LAN adapter cards - these are the
FRU part number for the original 60G0605 units.
I've got a box with both of them configured using the DOS based IBM
CONFIG.EXE utility. One is at 0x300 with IRQ 10, the other at 0x320 with
IRQ 11. Both pass all diagnostics.
This machine has no CD and I'm trying to load RedHat 6.2 on it via NFS image
as I have done on numerous other machines which had 3C509B adapters.
The problem is that this adapter model is not under the menu of network
adapters presented during install nor can I find an equivalent for it
anywhere.
Has anybody successfully configured these type of cards with RedHat 6.2? I
tried NE2000 as a compatible adapter as that seems to work quite often, but
without luck.
Thanks for any help on this matter.
Regards,
Curtis

Hi scott:
I have used Toms rootboot disk with success on a similar 486:
http://www.toms.net/rb/home.html
It even has a few frills -- try ddate at the command prompt :-)
Wish I had a loose cdrom to try the other suggestion, but if you don't

Subject: Re: modem initialization problem
Read the man page on setserial. Your modem is probably using a non-standard
IRQ and you need to tell the kernel this at boot time. This info is
supposed to go in /etc/rc.d/rc.serial but I had to put it in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. ( format ) setserial
/dev/ttySx IRQ y x=your modem comm port, y=your modem IRQ. If you
dual boot Windows, go there and find out what comm port the modem is using.
It will not be diferent in Linux. DOS com1=ttyS0 com2=ttyS1 etc. Also
find out the IRQ while in Win. If you don't have Win, keep trying IRQs
until you find the right one. It will probably be : 2 3 4 5 7 9 but
possibly one of the higher #s.

"mv" it to where you want to untar it and then do:
tar xvf netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
Then cd into the directory it makes and do:
./netscape
That should do it unless they have changed it for some reason.

Well I'm not using a GeForce, I am using a TNT2U and DIDN'T install from RPM's
I installed from source! Have used the .94's with 2.2.14 and now 2.4.0-test5
(it has AGP support BTW) and have also used the same procedure to install them
on my friends TNT, and my sons TNT2 M64 with no problems, and no lockups. I
read that installing XFree86 4.0 and the nvidia drivers from RPM's were a bad
idea, so I never tried!
