just a follow-up ...

according to the nvidia website, when i do :

# insmod NVdriver

and then

# lsmod | grep NV

I should see:

NVdriver        0       (autoclean)

instead, I see:

NVdriver        527136  (unused)

i'm a newbie to all this, so i don't really know what that means, but
i'm hoping someone else can point me in the right direction.

Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 17:03:05 GMT

Why use the Flash Drive? There are times when I would like to quickly
check something on the Internet, but don't want to deal with booting
Linux (BTW, I do have Linux 2.2.17 installed on the HD), logging in,
shutting down properly and all that jazz.  Yeah, the version of
Netscape is old, but using the flash drive is quick and simple.

Honestly, most of the time, the machine will be booted of the HD, so
it's not a big deal.  I would just like to use the flash drive for
something rather than having it just sitting there.  As for the LRP
box, I've already got a separate PC doing my routing and firewalling
using GNATbox Light. Perhaps not as potentially useful and flexible as
the LRP, but it does what I need it to do and does it well. But I
digress...

Thanks, tho'.

Subject: Linux on a 66Mhz 486 with a 240MB disk?

Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 17:13:22 GMT

I have an old 66Mhz 486 with a 240MB disk which runs perfectly
reliably on Windows 95, but I basically don't use it anymore since we
now have -- mostly for my wife -- a Gateway 733 with a 30 GB hard
disk, and a 166Mhz Pentium MMX with a 10GB hard disk running RH 7.0.
Is it conceivable that I could get some version of Linux (doing
something useful) to run on the old machine?  If so, what version (and
what features) would you suggest?

as already mentioned /etc/rc.d/rc.local or if you want to get into the guts
of your machine make your own rc.sysinit [make sure to backup!]

But alternatively, today's kernels can auto-probe for modules and install
them automatically; if you're ready to compile a kernel yourself, look into
it.

Subject: Redhat 7.0, faulty disk geometry problem
Date: 30 Oct 2000 17:36:00 GMT

Hi all.

I'm trying to install Redhat 7.0 on a hard disk with the geometry C/H/S =
6296/16/63. The BIOS autodetects it as such, but during installation Linux
says that the geometry is C/H/S = 3148/32/63. However installation works fine
but after rebooting only the letter L (of LILO) shows up and the system hangs.

Installing Redhat 6.2 on the same hard disk yields the very same result with
the geometry (that is Linux says 3148/32/63) but now Redhat 6.2 boots up
properly.

Is it possible to actually use one geometry during installation and another
when booting up the system? (I think not)

I'm confused about Linux saying C/H/S is 3148/32/63 and booting is possible
with 6.2 but not 7.0 (a bug?).

Is Linux dependant upon C/H/S in BIOS for more than just loading MBR,
bootrecord in active partition and then LILO?

Any ideas as to why 6.2 will work but not 7.0?

And if not, where I can download it? Thans.

I did this already, otherwise I couldn't access disks from 17-26.

There is no such thing as an "Intel PCI card".  There are broken
pseudo-PCI cards which cut spec corners not deep enough for that to be
visible under Windows.  This happens most often with sound cards.

: Assuming Linux can recognise and enable the new card, how do I control
: the bindings to the two cards ?

Usually the easiest is do that with modules.  If you run 'netconf'
then you can tell which module to use with which card and this
will rewrite /etc/modules.conf for you.  Otherwise see
BootPrompt-HOWTO, Section 10.1

: Could I for example configure the new card to handle all ethernet
: traffic at the moment, but still leave the old card undisturbed 'just in
: case' ?

Yes.

: If I want to use the old card to talk to a firewall in the future, where
: will I need to look to find how to bind the new 100 MHz nic to my LAN,
: and the old 10 MHz card to firewall ?

Just configure your cards with proper addresses.

Tim,

>From my Slackware 7.0 laptop installation (to ramdisk):
1. Boot with Bareapm.i Boot disk.
2. Use Color.gz for Root disk.
3. Login as "root", no password.
4. Type "pcmcia".
5. Use "Pcmcia.dsk". (This will wake up your PCMCIA services. The light on
my NIC came on.)
6. Type "network".
7. Use "Network.dsk". (This will probe for network modules. In my case,
3c575 NIC, there was no module found; so this is as far as I've gotten with
Slackware 7.0)

IIRC, Slackware 7.0 DOES have the 3c575 NIC module in the set for the full
installation; but a full installation was not my objective.

BTW, you didn't mention what card you have that was not recognized.

You may wish to try what DID work for me, with almost no effort. I bought a
copy of Bill Ball's book, LINUX FOR YOUR LAPTOP, see www.williamball.com ,
which has a copy of LinuxCare's Bootable Business Card (BBC) packaged with
it. I booted from the BBC, getting a fully networked (ramdisk) installation
going in just a few minutes.

Bill's boot was definitely a worthwhile investment, as it saved me the time
it would have taken to build my own floppy-based installation on the Toshiba
445CDT Laptop that now sports a means of booting into Linux on ramdisk,
which was my original objective.

It stands for "Read the fine manual".  Don't let anyone
