Does BootManager try to call LILO off your root partition when you choose
Linux?  I know in my case, I got a blackscreen unless I did the following:

Edit /etc/lilo.conf and make sure that the root= entry and the boot= entry
both point to the same partition.
Run lilo to install LILO on your root partition.  Make sure it does not give
any error messages after this.  For me, I had my root partition past the
1024 cylinder and LILO didn't like that.  So I went into linuxconf and tried
to enable "linear mode" in the LILO setup.  Then I ran LILO once again, and
for my case it still gave rrors.  So my last try was to edit /etc/lilo.conf
and change the line that says "linear" to "lba32".  I saved the new
lilo.conf file, ran LILO again, and no error messages.  This may be a stab
in the dark, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents.  Hope it works.

I don't really understand your problem. Does xcdroast change permissions
of the original files, on your hard drive? That's a bug if you ask me.
If you're concerned about the files on the cd you write being read-only,
just think about it, what would a "write" flag do on a read-only
filesystem such as iso9660? Also, when you verify your burn, the CD is
mounted read-only, and all files on it are seen as read-only.

IIRC, xcdroast invokes mkisofs and cdrecord under the covers to build
CDs. IIRC (again ;-) ), mkisofs defaults to "files are r--r--r--" and
"user/group not preserved". Have you checked the mkisofs settings?
Have you checked the contents of the ISO file before roasting (i.e.
mount it in a loopback fs, check each file's permission bits)?

I had trouble with the linux driver that came with my Kingston PCI card and
ended up using another card since I had one  on hand.  Try to configure
your card to see if the OS recognizes it.  BTW this is only to test the
card.  If you use roaring penguin you don't want to configure and bring up
the card before running adsl-start.  It will do all that for you.

I used the roaring penguin PPPoE client with SBC's Southwestern Bell ADSL
service and it came up right away.  I am using SuSE 6.3.  The PPPoE client
that came with it didn't work for me.

This is reasonable. The difficulty is that, because the computer has no
way to boot from anything but the hard disk, you can't boot the Linux
installer (unless there's some program I don't know about that's a Win2K
equivalent of LOADLIN, or some way to set up a working DOS partition
from within Win2K). Your best bet is to search for some sort of external
*BOOTABLE* floppy or CD-ROM drive for the computer. Even if it's just a
floppy drive, you could boot an installer that would do the installation
via a network connection or from files stored on the NTFS partition.

The biggest issue will probably be finding something from which the
notebook will boot. Consult Sony about this, since it's a BIOS issue,
not a Linux or Win2K issue.

> I guess the only way i can install linux is thru a drive.

You need to be able to boot a Linux installer. Once that's done, you
need access to installation files, but that can be done over the
network, from files on a FAT or (possibly) NTFS partition, or from a
CD-ROM. Details differ from one distribution to another, though.

If you could get DOS installed and booting, you might be able to put
together some sort of workaround. Some distributions might even directly
support such a configuration, but I've never looked into it myself.

> Btw can i install linux using a zip drive.

Some of the smaller ones might be installable this way. I doubt if you
could get a major distribution like Red Hat or Debian to install from a
Zip disk, though -- at least, not without a lot of hassle. They've just
got too many files (over 1GB for most new distributions).

I'd suggest you forget about RPM version 4 unless you see an official
update RPM from Red Hat. Instead, obtain the *SOURCE* RPM for the
package you want to install. You can then create a binary RPM that'll
install using your current version of rpm. You'd do something like this:

rpm --rebuild foo-x.y.z.src.rpm
mv /usr/src/RedHat/RPMS/i386/foo-x.y.z.i386.rpm ./
rpm -Uvh foo-x.y.z.i386.rpm

Depending upon the size of the package, the first command may take
anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes to run. You might also
need to install some development libraries, in addition to the run-time
libraries needed by the final compiled version of the program.

You can find both source and binary RPMs for many packages at
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/.

You changed your password... the "-" files are a backup.

As to being able to use BOTH passwords to log on -- are you
on NIS when your home is NFS mounted? If so, maybe one password
is the local password, and the other comes from NIS...

Hi,

I'm getting crazy trying to have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI working under
SuSE 6.x / Linux 2.2.7
Under win95 Hauppauge support asked me to change both base memory audio
& video address
to the following, and it's working:

video: 78000000 - 78000FFF
audio: 78002000 - 78002FFF
IRQ9

my graphics card is a Diamond S3 Vision 968 PCI at IRQ11:
000C0000 - 000C7FFF
000A0000 - 000AFFFF
000B0000 - 000BFFFF
F8000000 - F9FFFFFF

Under Linux the card is detected but the base address seems bad (see
below).
the channel scans work but kwintv or xawtv show distorted images.
triton1 did'nt help

I've recompiled the module, I've also tried to use the vidmem parm but I
get an
"invalid parameter parm_vidmem"

any hints? thanks.

Check the file /var/log/messages.  Near the bottom
of the file you should see a bunch of shutdown entries
that look something like this:

Font Server[680]: terminating
xfs: xfs shutdown succeeded
gpm: gpm shutdown succeeded
atd: atd shutdown succeeded
crond: crond shutdown succeeded

Follow on down looking for which thing does
*not* shut down ok.

If there are no error entries, then find
something that looks like this:

syslog: syslogd startup succeeded

The entries just before (above) that may lead you
to the thing that's broken.

Good luck,

This has come up many times.  Do a deja search of this NG and
alt.os.linux.caldera and you will find everything you need to know.
Also, look for many good HOW-TOs on the subject - despite propaganda to
the contrary, it is the same as putting NT and Linux on the same
computer.

None of these are binary executables: they consist of compressed source
code.  You need ONE of the linux-*.tar.gz files to start with (presumably
the most recent one known to work for you), and then you can use the
patch-*.gz files to make the necessary changes when new releases come out.

You should also remember that 2.4.0-test* is in _testing_, and that other
