Duron 650 (same as TB except for cache) and Asus A7V - I just put in the
Caldera Open Linux 2.4 disk that I got with some magazine. followed the
instructions, and it was all up and running fine. Easier than
installing COL2.3 on my old Pentium-133, easier than installing Win2K.
Of course, having been through some of the hardware compatibility issues
already, I built my own system with Linux-friendly IDE disk/CD,
non-winmodem, Matrox G-400 card, etc etc., no USB, no ATA-100, etc. etc.
Good luck.

That leaves 4G unused...
mke2fs will automatically use an appropiate block size, depending on the
fs size. You can also specify this as an option to mke2fs. One advantage
of splitting the partitions is that the small files that appear in /var,
/etc, /tmp wont automatically eat up 4k of disk space as they would if
you ran mke2fs automatically on the whole drive.

Sorry, I don't, but I do have all three running fairly swiftly on a
Pentium-133 with 32MB and it is a fully loaded system (X, KDE and all
that). Without X and GUI you can probably go a *lot* lower, but that's
just uninformed opinion.

New info and a new question:
One of the things I was doing wrong was trying to add a logical
partition when my extended partition was already full. Why
cfdisk didn't twig to this I don't know. But it's a serious
problem -- I have lots of space left on that physical disk and
I don't want to have to split it into just two primary partitions.
Can I make the extended partition bigger, non-destructively?
Or can I have more than one extended partition on that physical
drive? NT disk administrator doesn't allow this, so I assume
there's a rule against it, but I can't think of any reason
for such a rule.

Hi,
I have been trying for three days to get my RAID 1 setup correct. I
have lots of little files on this server and need a 2048 k block size.
I run mkraid... Here is my raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
And then I run the mke2fs command to set the block size... Why am I
getting this error?
[root@frog /sbin]# ./mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/md0: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up
superblock
Could someone please reach out a helping hand here... I haven't a clue
what's wrong with this thing. Instructions would be greatly
appreciated.
I also wouldn't mind knowing how to format this drive with more inodes
allocated, if anyone knows.
Thanks

With a P3 you should definitely download the i686-ones. They are optimized
for P2 and P3.

Howdy!
I am v new to linux.
I had Red Hat 6.2 and it was great in that during the installation routine I
was asked for my network settings and when I go t going I was *online*!
Great!
Not so with 7.0 WHY??!
I connect my linux pc to a cable modem through a router. The cable modem is
not DHCP compatible. The router is I think.
I went to Linuxconf and Basic host information:
Hostname +domain = localhost.localdomain
Config mode DHCP
NEt device eth0
everything else is empty
As root using file manager I went to etc/sysconfig and looked at the network
file
*I couldn't edit it*!! Why?
I read it and it had
Networking=yes
hostname localhost.local domain
I went to network-scripts and amongst other things it had:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=DHCP
ONBOOT=yes
*I couldn't edit this file either* Why?!
Somebody said I may need to
install dhcp-cd. It's on the Redhat CD in the RPM's directory.
*I cant find this directory*
Somebody please help me get on line!!
Once I am on line I can let my brother ftp me and sort it all out!

Subject: Which Monitor is most appropriate?
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 07:48:48 +0900
Hello
What monitor do I select when installing Linux?
My model is an IBM Logo only
2127 0R4
That came with an Aptiva
I am trying to run install Red Hat Linux on my machine. I need to:
Pick the correct name of the monitor
Enter horizontal/vertical refresh rates
The monitor shipped with this pc is not listed as an option in the
installation menu.
Which monitors are similar? I am thinking of entering one of their names
instead.
As an alternative to entering the type of the monitor we can enter the
refresh rates. These are listed as :
Horizontal Scan Frequency 72 KHz
(Range from 31-62 KHz)selected examples: 30-72 KHz
Refresh Rate (Vertical Scan) *
(Range from 50-120 Hz ) 60 - 85 Hz
I have tried entering the probed monitor: it tells me it has detected a
(sic) 2721 and that the refresh rate for this is about 50! THis results in
me having a more restricted range of resolutions when I configure the
graphics card.
(What I did is select a different monitor on the drop down menu, tested it
during the installation and saw that it worked and gave me good reolution.)
Anyway, if I enter what *I* think are the monitors refresh rates, it doesn't
work. Probably I don't know what the correct ones are.

When you run adsl-setup try telling it not to use any firewalling.
Apparently, it can't find the firewall in the basic install of redhat
7. I had the same problem and that fixed it.

I finally figured out how to get ADSL working on Red Hat 7. When you
set up your PPPoE connection (adsl-setup) tell it NOT to use ANY
firewalling. Apparently, somebody forgot to include the firewall
program in the rppppoe rpm in redhat 7, and if you tell it to use the
firewalls, it simply will hang.

Hi!
I have a system where beside some normal server - with static IP - there
is some machine in other site with dynamic IP (from different provide, the
DHCP server is not mine). I would to set it up so all the machines is in
one domain, the primary DNS of that domain is in one of my normal server.
Therefore I have to set up a dynamic name server service on my primary DNS
and the matching clients on the machines with dynamic IP. Do you know any
howto for this procedure? I think bind actually have feature for
dynamically updated IP, but the man pages is not very helpful and there is
no sample.
Remember that I won't use any DDNS out there (like DynDNS, etc.), I would
like to setup my own DDNS. The solution connectiong DHCP server with bind
won't work either, since the DHCP service is from other sources. However,
connectiong DHCP client to the updating process will be useful.
TIA!

Hi everybody,
The advice of Paul Kimoto worked.
Thanks Paul
I did :
[acizmeli@seawifs acizmeli]$ strings
/usr/local/matlab5/etc/lnx86/lmhostid | egrep "\.so\."
/lib/ld-linux.so.1
libc.so.5
and saw that these two libraries were missing in my RedHat 7.0.
Replacing them solved the problem.
Now another problem :
I try to run matlab but it would not:
acizmeli@seawifs acizmeli]$ matlab
/usr/local/matlab5/bin/lnx86/matlab: can't load library 'libXt.so.6'
To run matlab, the following libraries
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.3
are needed. I checked my system :
[root@seawifs acizmeli]# ls /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14
ls: /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14: No such file or directory
[root@seawifs acizmeli]# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
[root@seawifs acizmeli]# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1
[root@seawifs acizmeli]# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0
[root@seawifs acizmeli]# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.3
I will find and download /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14 from internet however I do
not know what to do with the three other libraries which are there but
not visible to Matlab. How to make Matlab to find these libraries?
