Rafael,

I had the same problem on my system...it would not see hde or beyond.  But I
also noticed, like you, that Mandrake 7.1 installed without a problem.  So,
I installed Mandrake and found out what the I/O address was for the offboard
controller card controlling hde and hdf.  In my case it was:
IDE2=0xd400,0xd800 IDE3=0xdc00,0xe000

Then during the install of RH7 I added these parms during the install and it
found hde and hdf without problem.  Then I just added these parms to the
lilo.conf  file in the /etc directory and ran /sbin/lilo to apply them and
all is well.

Good Luck,
Tom

The include files for glibc would go in the location where the glibc
source would reside if it were present.  If the glibc source were to
reside in src/glibc-whatever/ , then the glibc includes would be
located in src/glibc-whatever/include/ or /src/glibc-whatever/headers/
or something similar.

The includes would need to be accessible from a common location, of
course, for the benefit of the compiler.  This is why God gave us
symlinks.  Of course, the result would be similar to /usr/include/ ,
but it doesn't need to be directly beneath /usr/ .  Perhaps this could
reside in the lib/ directories, as lib/include/ .

The main point here is that the hierarchies immediately beneath / ,
/usr/ , and /usr/local/ should be as similar as possible.  Exceptions
will occur, of course; but avoidable departures should be, well,
avoided.

Exactly my point.  The "front-end" binaries of a package in opt/ would
be symlinked into the existing bin/ directory appropriate to its role
in the system.  A separate opt/bin/ would be unnecessary.

I think opt/ is a rather good solution for large packages.  As one
person (who sent a response via private e-mail) pointed out, it is
"much easier to blow the cruft away after it proves its true value."
It's only kludgey in that "proper" use of opt/ tends to cause either a
lot of symlinks, or an extremely long $PATH .  It follows that opt/
should only be used for packages whose complexity truly warrants such
segregation.  X11 is a prime example (see below).

Not so, by reason of location.  As the previously mentioned fellow
said in his message,

        /usr was for 'unvital' stuff like compilers, headers and
        nice-to-have executables.  / is for must-have-to-run.

I would amend this to say that the hierarchy under /usr/ (excepting
/usr/local/ ) is for non-vital stuff that came with the distribution,
and that the /usr/local/ hierarchy is for non-vital stuff that didn't
come with the distribution.

Therefore, 

1) /opt/ would be for large, complex packages that were required by
the system (not too many of these, if any at all -- hence my earlier
language suggesting that perhaps /opt/ shouldn't exist).  This also
raises the question, would "opt" be a fitting name for this directory?

2) /usr/opt/ would be for large, complex, non-vital packages that were
provided by the maintainers of the distribution.

3) /usr/local/opt/ would house large, complex packages added by the
local sysadmin.

True.  Most of X's problems lie in the scrambled internal structure of
the package.  But it still needs to be located in something like an
opt/ directory.  It just seems like having the X11R6 directory
directly under /usr/ is messy.

This is annoying behavior.  I fixed this by making the lilo executable
non-executable, so these GUI config programs can't run LILO and undo grub.
This may be the brute-force way, but it keeps grub installed.

You can put the 16M linux /boot partition after 500MB because it should be
below the 1024 cylinder (in my case 8G)
put the swap and other linux partition afterwards.
I hope you have luck with the 42G.
I had problems formatting the last 20G for linux with Redhat 6.2, Redhat
7.0 works much better.

I've tried the SourceForge version of the driver under 2.2.17 and
2.4.0-test9. In both cases, it worked fine when running without X, but
the computer locked up totally while I was resizing a window under X.
I'm running X 4.01 with a Voodoo Banshee, on an AMD K6-III.

I've toyed with Java2 for a while now and get this message once in
a while, try the following:
1. create a html file with the following tags
<html>
<applet code="myjavafile.class" width=300 height=400></applet>
</html>
2. name this file the same as your java file, but with an .html extension
3. then run the following   appletviewer javafile.html

should work from there, unless something is coded wrong in your class.

Hope this helps

You could mount them on a second machine and perform a network install
(never did this myself, but I know it's possible) or copy everything 
from the image to HDD and do a (local) harddisc install, but I don't
think you can mount the image on your local PC and install from there
(but I'm not 100% here)

Very helpfull reply, isn't it.

It still doesn't change where the fixed font *IS* nor the fact that it
very likely must be placed as first in the fontserver. It may have to be
placed in some different file, but since I don't use xfstt, I don't know
where. Still I think it's a good pointer for him/her to look at. Far

Hi,

I think this feature (aka 'wake on lan') requires a BIOS setting
together with a network card which supports it. Try looking in the BIOS
screen to do with power management & see if there are any options which
refer to 'wake on lan'. I don't know how you prove if your NIC supports
this...I believe I have seen a NIC with an extra internal wire which is
meant to plug in to the motherboard to wake it up - no idea of
make/model though. Maybe these new fangled PCI cards can do it without
the wire ;-)

I have just read through some 3COM documents for the 3C905B & it dosen't
mention this as a feature. I would guess then that the BIOS setting is
all that is needed.

A side effect of this is that the machine will not go into standby mode
if there is any network activity - probably not a problem on a home LAN
but on a corporate one - the network never sleeps ;-)

Phil Q

Hi, I wanted to upgrade my system so I first installed Windows 2000 on
one partition and install RH 7.0 on other partitions. Now, when RH7.0
ask me where to write the LILO information, I told it to write it in the
boot sector and that overwrite the boot manager of Windows 2000. Now,
when I chose 'dos' from the LILO screen, it just hangs. My guess is that
the boot manager of Windows 2000 is no longer operational. My question
is that how do I fix this problem?

Subject: HELP Linux install has hosed Win98
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 08:28:35 GMT

Although I still regard my self as a newbie (probably always will), I
have set up a couple of dual boot machines without trouble.  Last
night however I came across a new problem - Installing Caldera Open
Linux (2.2) seems to have hosed my Win98 boot record or something.
The PC has 2 HDD's:

Disk1=32MB FAT16 (boot area), and ~3GB FAT32 (Win98)
Disk2=1.5 GB NTFS (NTW) , 3GB ext2 (Linux), and an extended partition
with Linux swap space.

All was working fantastically untill I decided to triple boot (which I
have done on other boxes without fuss).  Not wanting to mess around
with the MBR, I decided to make LILO use a boot floppy, but directly
after installing it Win98 refuses to boot.  NT works OK, as does
Linux, but Win98 is dead.  When I try I get the following response:

***************

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: D:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

The following file is missing or corrupted: WIN.COM

C:\>

Cannot find WIN.COM, unable to continue loading windows

C:\>

***************

and if I try do access the D:\ (where windows is loaded)  I get told
"Invalid Drive Specification", which is DOS speak for "it doesn't
exist".  The weird part is that both Linux's and DOS's FDISK see the
partition and correctly recognise that it is FAT32 and the right size.
Even weirder is that in NT using FAT32 for NT (from
www.sysinternals.com) correctly picks up the partition, and makes it
available (read-only though - its freeware), so the data is still all
there, but DOS can't see it.

Does any one here have any idea how I can get it working again?
Thanks in advance for all help.

Cheers.

In Redhat you can setup the ppp connection using the linuxconf program
(as root) in linuxconf goto the:
"Config"-->"Client tasks"-->"PPP/SLIP/PLIP"
dialog screen, which has 3 parts (tabs) you'll be interested in
"Hardware" - modem settings (/dev/ttyS0) you may want to select
                "allow any user to activate" here

"Communications" - modem dialup and login commands phone num, name, passwd
                   (be sure to select the "Debug Connection" box to make
                     it will log each step of login to the messages file)

"Networking" - can mostly leave these blank BUT
                Make sure the "Set default route" box is selected!

Once It's setup you can start it from the linuxconf "control" section
or however you like (e.g. "usernet&",  "ifup ppp0", or the gnome thing)

Hope this helps!
