Anita,
No flame wars here, but I'm running RH7.0 with LILO on the MBR,
booting WIN98, WINNT40 and WIN2K from the NT bootloader.
Maybe this is a restriction of older LILO of RH6.0?
Teach me here if I'm wrong.
Thanks!

This has already been answered, but check that your DNS isn't broken.
This is the usual reason for sendmail taking a long time to start.

As discussed recently, EDK is only configured for pentiums.
I wonder how much QNX costs? Does that include a C++ compiler?
I'm getting a slackware CD to try out on an old pc. Then i'll
try building a linux-install from the ground up...

Use PM to move the D: drive down by about 20 megabytes. Make this into
a
Linux partition. You will mount /boot there.

Won't happen. Winnie-the-pooh 98 doesn't recognize Linux partitions, so
they won't be presented.
Below the moved D: drive you should make a separate / partition
(500MB),
a separate /usr partition, and a separate /home partition. All will be
linux partitions.
I don't know how much memory your machine has, but the drive is large
enough for a 1 gig swap partition, so go with that.
Here's how one of my machines is setup:
device/partition directory size
========================================
/dev/hda1 /boot 20MB
/dev/hda2 swap 1GB
/dev/hda3 / 500MB
/dev/hda4 /usr 5GB
/dev/hda5 /usr/local 5GB
/dev/hda6 /home 5GB

This will be handled by your boot loader. I prefer to use the LInux
LOader (lilo), but the is also GRUB. lilo will self install during Linux
installation, but you will have to notify it that you have windows
present.
The steps you should follow should be this:
1) Move the D: partition down by 20meg on hdb (the second physical hard
drive).
2) Reboot win98 to make sure it sees the D: drive in it's new location.
3) Use PM (5?) to create a Linux partition in the now vacated spot.
4) Run the Linux install for and when it asks to use Disk Druid or
fdisk, chose fdisk (it's more complicated to use, but gives you precise
control over each
partitioning step.
Note: the drive connected to ide0 (Master) is hda
the drive connected to ide0 (Slave ) is hdb
the drive connected to ide1 (Master) is hdc
the drive connected to ide1 (Slave ) is hdd
hdc is typically the cdrom
Adjust your linux drive locations according to your hardware
setup.
5) Boot into Linux and login as root. Execute `cd /etc'. This is where
your system setup info is stored. Then execute `mc' to startup the
midnight commander and go down to the lilo.conf file and start the mc
text editor to edit the file. Heres what yours set up to dual boot
Linux and winnie-the-pooh98 should look like:
----cut here----
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-9mdk
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb3
read-only
# Add this stanza to be able to boot windows
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
---cut here----
Save this file back to disk and get out of mc.
Now execute `lilo' and the machine should respond:
*linux added
*windows added
Now you are good to go. When the lilo prompt comes up, just type in
linux or windows to boot the selected OS.
BTW, there are other lilo.conf mods you can make, but I didn't want to
make this too complicated at first. Email me if you have other
questions.

My swapfile setup looks like this:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/.swap0 bs=1024k count=16
# mkswap /.swap0
# swapon /.swap0
I do not use the loop interface.
Works great for me on kernel 2.2.14.

I did what you said, and by the time I got to the third instruction,
I had it fixed!
(I'm not the original guy, but I sat and browsed the NG until I
found your answer - I had had a ppp dialing problem.)
Well, I had a look at the error messages - very weird ones like,
ppp-on-dialer: permission denied
it turns out some gremlin got into /etc/ppp and changed the permission
to about 400.
Then I got another error message from chatscript - well, not an
error message, reallly: it showed me the interaction between the
dialer script and the modem, and some gremlin had got into my
dialer script and deleted the quotes around one of the commands,
so it parsed it, and of course, the modem choked.
All is well now, thank you, thank you!
Cheers!

They have two product lines of OS right now. Their upscale one starts ~$700
if my info is correct. There is a Watcom C compiler for use with that. The
one they are distributing over the net right now is being billed as QNX RTS
I think. I believe it comes with a free compiler, but the system is really
in testing right now. They don't support a lot of hardware other then IDE
drives, popular video cards, Sound Blaster, that kind of stuff. You can get
it at

No problem. I don't know much about all this. My understanding is that you
cannot have the NT bootloader and lilo in the mbr at the same time. If lilo
is in the mbr, where is the NT bootloader? I thought it had to be in the
MBR too. I guess in this case it is somewhere else?
You gotta know more about this than I do, because what I know about NT could
fit in a tiny thimble. I heard NT had the bootloader in the mbr and that
lilo could not go there. Tell me more.

When I setup my dual boot box I had to try a few different partition
setups to get the linux /boot dir under cyl 1024, and M$ installed
before linux. This is what finally worked for me:
- boot from a linux floppy dist. (not the linux install boot)
I used "Tom's RTBT" (RooT BooT) floppy available from:
http://www.toms.net/rb/home.html
- create a 20Mb /dev/hda1 linux e2fs partition with fdisk
(to be designated /boot later during the linux install)
- reboot and install M$
(leaving room for more linux partitions)
- reboot and install linux
(now designate the 20Mb /dev/hda1 as mounted on /boot
during the "create partitions" step)
Hope this helps!

Mo from Redhat corrected my error. The EDK tool chain was compiled to
run on a 386 yet the EDK only supports targeting Pentium-II and above!
I would advise avoiding such a STUPID company. They obviouly do not
understand what a typical embedded system looks like.
I checked out QNX. I like it!!
QNX Real time platform was designed for real time applications from
the first line of code written. It does support 386 processors as
well. I asked a rather nice person in the QNX sales dept.
But the licensing fees totally shot me down. Our company would be
consuming about 100 units of QNX-RTP per year, and I was quoted $500
per copy royalty.
Needless too say, totaly out of the question. But if your expected
volume is higher, give them a shout. The licensing per unit shipped
goes down with volume. There is also a news group devoted to QNX. I
spent a few days on it. Very helpfull group!!! :-)

If you're going to go to those lengths, just unplug the damn thing. It
should
do no harm. Then, if you really want to get fancy, patch an SPST switch
into
one of the leads, and make the speaker optional.

I'm trying to setup an old Intergraph TD-4 as my Linux box.
I've tried several different video cards with chipsets from Tseng, S3,

locks up solid.
I now believe it must be a BIOS setup problem but I don't want to

Everything else except X-windows works great. The system is RH 6.1 on a

Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

i'm having a somewhat similar problem. i used /usr/sbin/sndconfig to
configure my sb64awe with no apparent problems - i heard linus and the
piano run.
however, i don't get any sound in x windows.
i used the advice above for creating a symbolic link, and it did, in
fact, give me sounds under kde. but, i still have no sound under
gnome.
any thoughts?
tia,
hagbard
