Without recompiling the kernel is there a way to load the scsi
emulation at boot-time? I have a Philips CD-RW that needs the SCSI
emulation to work

Hi,
I don't know how to set up a cyrillic keyboard, but for browsing with
Netscape go to
View -> Character Set
and select the appropriate Cyrillic character set for displaying these
sites correctly. That won't help you much with with entering search
strings, but you can decently browse.
HTH,

Ah! I had the same problem! I already submitted a bug report to Red Hat.
Oh, well. I will try that without /dosc mount.

Did you program the modem once you installed it? The ATZ string is correct, but
you have to write the settings to NVRAM 0 first, who knows what they put in
there at the factory (possibly, software flow control or even no compression).
See your manual, or, if you don't have one (this is an OEM version), download
one from the 3Com website. ATI4 and ATI5 are your friends.

I am kind of a newbie, but I have a promise ultra ata 66 controller. I had
a similar error when installing Caldera 2.3. The install program wouldn't
even recognize that I had a hard drive. I didn't know that it was even
possible to obtain drivers for this controller, so I opened up my computer
and connected the hard drive to the ATA 33 controller. Voila! The
installation program recognized my hard drive. That is my work around, but
if you find drivers please get back to me. I am guessing the kernel
doesn't support anything higher than 33 yet.

Most of Linux mail clients can do this, or the 'mail' command.
To mail a file
mail -s "This is the subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < $SOME_FILE
or simple string
echo "This is a test" | mail -s "This is the subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To mail your IP
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $IFACE | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \ -f 1 | \
mail -s "My IP" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Just in case that is the end game.

i've just started using linux and have tried to solve a lot of problems
myself, but now i'm stuck.
i understand there are problems with SiS and linux but i've got my graphics
system up and going. the problem is, it only loads to 8bit color and 600x400
configuration, vga mode. i'm using XFree86 4.0 , download version and
according to the FAQ and documentation the SiS problems should have been
solved after 3.3.4 (was it?).
i'm running RedHat 6.2 on a pentium II 350 machine with 256MB RAM.
the other problem is, the OS thinks i've got only 64MB RAM. anyone have a
solution to this? please help
i also have a generic SoundBlaster 16 compatible sound card (windows picks
it up as SB16 and works fine). This card does not get picked up by linux.
what should i do?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

correct. First install win2k, and then linux. No when you install linux,
put lilo (the linux-loader) in the MBR.
Now you can only boot linux :-(
Boot linux, and perform the steps I described.
Now when you reboot, the lilo prompt reappears, and when you now hit
<tab> you are presented with two options, linux, and win2k.
If you type win2k, win2k is booted.

This is a command (in linux) to rewrite the bootcode, it's needed to
activate the changes you made in /etc/lilo.conf

If you do not have SCSI emulation installed (and I dont' remember
if is a module or not), I can't see a lot of possibility...
What's the problem with recompile ?

No, this should really be an ext2 formatted partition.
Make sure that you have the partition ID set to a linux one too before
you install win2k, otherwise win2k may use this drive as it's C: drive.
You don't want that.
I advise you to install linux first, and make sure to make a bootdisk.
Don't put linux in the MBR. Now install win2k in hda2. Boot linux with
the use of the bootflop. Make a copy of the MBR (dd if=/dev/hda
of=mbr.img bs=512 count=1) and alter the first line of lilo.conf
It now has a line boot=/dev/hda1 which should be boot=/dev/hda
And add to your lilo.conf (at the bottom)
other=/dev/hda2
label=win2k
Now you should rerun /sbin/lilo to activate these changes.
If you reboot now, lilo offers you the option to boot both linux and
win2k, just enter their names, and the chosen OS will boot.

With the message displayed the boot process is past that stage. If
it can't mount the root file system you get a kernel panic real early.
In the emergency you can specify "linux init=/bin/sh" at the lilo
prompt and get a shell prompt where you can examine things.

At least Matrox G400 users should have no problem getting X running with a
dualhead display using the latest beta drivers from http://www.matrox.com and
the Xinerama extensions in X 4.0.1. Some window managers may have problems with
different resolutions across screens, however.
The release notes accompanying the beta driver contains good instructions on
how to set up a dual headed display.
