Okay, enough! four messages is more than enough!
Look at your BIOS settings, make sure the disc you are installing linux
on is in the bootchain.

Are you running a (N)etwork (I)nformation (S)erver? Don't know - probably
shouldn't be.
remove it from your list of programs to start at boot time.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong - because that's not too far from the bounds of
reality
mv /etc/rcd/init.d/[file you want to get rid of] /tmp/

Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 09:13:44 -0500
All,
I have a Dell Latitude CPi A366XT docking station that I would like to
be able to run X on in both configurations. At this point I have
successfully been able to load the OS (Redhat 6.2) and configure X
(XFree86 3.3.6) to run, but only when the machine is undocked. When I
attempt to run X, while docked, the monitor appears to be loosing sync
from the graphics card (i.e., the monitor goes into standby). The
graphics adapter that I am using is a NeoMagic MagicMedia256AV
(according to Windows NT) and the chipset, according to SuperProbe, is
Yahama 6388.
Anyone that might be able to provide assistant, please feel free to
respond.
Thanks in advance,
Wally

Subject: is there a thing like a generic boot sector?
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 14:18:34 GMT
hi,
my laptop has no floppy disk drive. I partitioned my Win98 machine using
fips into two partititons. On the first partition, I installed W2K. On
the second partititon, I installed RH6.2. I installed LILO on the /boot
partition which I had created. If I install it on the disk's MBR, then
W2K never boots up, RH6.2 always does. If I install LILO on the /boot,
W2K always boots up and RH6.2 never does (in fact, there is no option
to boot into Linux in this case). The solution, people say, is the make
a boot disk while installing Linux; but since I have no FDD, I can not
make one. One other solution is to copy the Linux boot sector to the
root of the disk, and then modify the boot.ini.
# dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
copy bootsect.lnx from your floppy disk onto the root of your C: drive
Edit C:\BOOT.INI and add the following line at the end:
C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux"
but again, the problem is no FDD. So, that set me thinking: if I can
get my hands on to the boot sector of a RH6.2 installation from some
means, then this will work. this boot sector need not come from my
Linux installation, right? i could copy this boot sector file from my
friends installation of RH 6.2 and copy it to the c: drive, and things
would work. is this possible?
thanks

That's pretty stupid! What happens if you need to use the service at
a later date, and you purged /tmp? A better method is to:
"chkconfig service_name off" or use a GUI run level edit tool.

Hi,
I'm running stock Redhat 6.2 on a PII box and I frequently get this
message in my /var/log/messages:
Jun 3 04:03:33 myhost init: PANIC: segmentation violation at (nil)!
sleeping for 30 seconds.
Jun 3 04:06:03 myhost last message repeated 4 times
Jun 3 04:07:33 myhost last message repeated 6 times
When it happens, init is dead and off course leaves behind a lot of
zombies and our server comes down and I get "out of memory" messages on
the console and init related messages. But then I reboot the server and
it runs for a while and then init gets panic again. Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: SUSE 6.3 + Alpha Station 200 4/233 - HOW TO START ?
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 14:24:58 +0100
Excuse me for this spam, I know this might be a leatle off the topic of
this newsgroup, but I didn't bought a original SUSE distribution, so I
can't ask for SUSE support if I understand corectly the contents of their
web page.
Problem:
HOW TO START INSTALATION OF SUSE 6.3 ON Alpha Station 200 4/233?
Closer:
If anybody can tell me how to start instalation of SUSE 6.3 for ALPHA on
Alpha Station 200 4/233 (as far as I know it is known as MUSTANG).
The documentation about a starting of installation process is obscure (by
my opinion) and aveilable only in German, French, Italian, etc. The
English translation was uncompleted and had only FOREWARD section, so I've
tried to start a instalation by my own, with things that I know from Intel
platforms and my (unfortunetly) miserable knowledge of previosly mentioned
languages.
I've managed to start MILO (both from FLOPPY and CD), and I can start
booting of kernel from images on the CD (/etc/vm_tga.gz - the Alpha is
with TGA video card), and as far as I can manage was to stop at the INIT
(the kernel manages to recognize SCSI devices, and it can read partition
from dis, it can mount some of the devices as a root, and stops at init).
Frend of mine, from whom the install CD is copyied, had installed the Linux
from other type of Alpha machine (with other type of BIOS and etc.) so,
his remark that he booted a instalation from CD (as a option of his BIOS)
and all started automaticly afterwards was of no meaning to me. Ive tried
to boot from milo without any parameters from CD, in that case there were
no milo.cfg (or .conf) file in either root or /etc on te device (CD).
Thanks in advance

If by "default directory structures" you mean the directories in which
the packages install themselves if you download original source code
and do a "make install" (or whatever), then most of those directories
are in /usr/local, which is NOT where packages from Linux vendors are
even SUPPOSED to go, according to the Linux filesystem standard.
/usr/local is for packages you compile yourself. It's conceivable that
there's some Linux distribution out there that puts most things in
/usr/local, but if so, I don't know what it is. I think you'll just
have to live with it.
If on the other hand you're complaining that RH doesn't conform to the
Linux filesystem standard, you may have better luck with other
distributions, but I can't offer any specific advice, because I've never
looked at distributions from this point of view. (I do have comments on
many distributions at http://www.rodsbooks.com/distribs/, but they don't
cover this issue.)
As a practical matter, if you simply want to know where files are, the
"rpm -ql" command is very useful. This returns the names and locations
of all the files that come with a package. (Some packages may include
scripts, though, that can conceivably dynamically create new
configuration files or whatnot.)

My needs are unusual because I write books about Linux. Because of
this, I routinely have five or more distributions installed on various
systems at once, although typically only 2-3 are running at any one
time. There are occasional weirdnesses, mostly in NFS. For the most
part, though, mixing distributions on a network is NOT a problem. After
all, the Internet is the biggest networked mixture of OSs ever, and it
works remarkably well considering its complexity. You'll save yourself
some effort by sticking with one distribution, but if you have some
compelling need to use multiple distributions, it shouldn't really
cause major problems, just a bit more learning time.

Are you sure you have lilo in the MBR then?
I suspect you put lilo in the bootsector of the /boot partition
Making that partition active, will probably solve the problem

If you're hooked up with Cable, you're not allowed to run servers, so really
you
don't need to be running httpd, unless you're playing with Apache locally. If
you
aren't playing with apache, run 'ntsysv' and disable httpd from starting at
boot-up.
You can start it manually if you decide you want to play with it at a later
time.

Victor,
Please go to www.slackware.org . You'll also find the HTML version of their
newest book there.
You'll find a number of the older distributions of Slackware there. In LINUX
CONFIGURATION & INSTALLATION, 3rd. ed. (includes Slackware 3.2), of which
Paul Volkerding is one of the co-authors, you'd find on page 9 that (X and
Linux) performance with 8 MB memory was not "encouraging", and that upgrade
to 16 MB was "strongly encouraged". BTW, I paid $39.95 for my copy. Since
then, I've seen it at very attractive close-out prices at local booksellers.
Personally, I'd LOVE to have 12 MB on my old 386DX33 w. 8 MB memory. IIWY,
I'd give the 12 MB a try to see how much of a hit in performance you'll
suffer. At the least, you'll discover the proportionate hit you take by
running X on much faster machines.

You have to know what "language" your dsl box speaks. Does it require
this thing called pppoe? Is it an internal or external device? If its
an internal pci card, you are probably out of luck since I have not heard
of Linux supporting such cards yet. My dsl modem is really just an
ethernet device. Its a Alcatel at home modem. All I did was have the
PacBell dudes come out and install and bring the line to "green" and they
went packing off when they found there was no winders box to connect the
line to. I had a server running Debian GNU/Linux already to go with 2
nic cards in it. I attached the alcatel to the server with a cat 5 cable
on one of the ethernet interfaces and attached the second nic card to a
16 port hub I own. I then brought up both network interfaces and
assigned IP addresses, default routes, etc. I had to recompile the
kernel to get IPchains working also. I then installed the ipmasq package
from debian and modified the default rules a bit. I began attaching my
home network computers to my 16 port hub. I pointed all of their default
routes to the same address I had given eth1 (second ethernet device) on
my server. With winders I rebooted a few times because winders got
nervous about having a network interface card in it. It wanted two cd's
at the same time for some reason. Pretty stupid overall.
After about twenty minutes all was done. I have a home network which
uses dsl including a wireless setup here now. The wireless cards share
the dsl as well. This took a bit longer to get right.
One passing note... I don't use Mandrake whatsoever so I don't know any
issues with it such as recompiling kernels or if you have to. I use
debian here only.

What is the clock in the bios set to? If you want your system to
automatically adjust for time changes, ensure that the bios clock is set
to UTC and allow the local clock to be your timezone. There is a good
clock/time howto on the web. If you have a fulltime box like a dsl or
cable modem, using ntp as a timeserver for your home network is pretty
nice.
Make the change in the bios to UTC and then read the hwclock howto or
refer on how to set linux to localtime so it adjusts for time changes.
My laptop roams all over and it has the time set to UTC in the bios and
the localtime always changes as we go from PDT to PST and reverse.
