Use whatever you need to fit al the computers you expect to have there.
There is no advantage in using a smaller space, except possibly being abble

space.

Some years ago the Class A/B/C scheme was replaces by CIDR
( Classless Inter-Domain Routing, I think. I may have that wrong )
An old class A had a netmask of 255.0.0.0 => 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000
i.e. 8 '1' bits in a row from the left. CIDR uses /8 for this.
Similarly, a Class B was 255.255.0.0 or 16 bits of mask = /16 and
a Class C is /24
CIDR allows you to use any number of bits in the mask easily, not just 8, 16 & 24.
There is an RFC for this, but I can't recall the number off hand.

Hi there!
I read the other posts, but nobody suggested "man lilo" and "man lilo.conf".
Go there and pay special attention to mapping of drives.
The drives on system have numbers associated with them.
First controller primary 0x80
First controller slave 0x81
Second controller primary 0x82
Second controller slave 0x83
So you add in lilo.conf
==========================
map drive 0x82
to 0x80
==========================
This tells the system to treat the other drive as primary master and the OS
installed on it believes it is on C:.
Note: The stanca includes intentional mistakes - RTFM!.

Mandrake 7.0 for 486 is a good choice too. You can download the CD image
(ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/iso/7.0/i486/mandrake70-2.i486.iso

Subject: amd k6 i586-compatible? (want to install Mandrake) - or which Linux is best?
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 13:00:10 +0100
Hello!
I'm just downloading Mandrake Linux, but I have an AMD K6 processor, so I am
not sure if the i586-version (pentium optimised?) will work with it?
What are people's favourite distributions? I used to have SuSE6.3, but I am
discontent with SuSE for several reasons.
Recently I tried Redhat, but I think 'disc druid' might have destroyed my
hard-disk. Maybe it's my own fault, because I cancelled the installation
when after hours of deselecting packages, the install size was still >700MB
(it was a bit weird, as there was no graphical setup tool, which I thought
would appear). When I tried booting again, Redhat couldn't find a useful
harddisk - I hope I can recover this somehow, I'm afraid the partition table
of the harddisk might be destroyed :-(
What I am really looking for is a distribution that doesn't clutter my
Computer so much. Free software is nice, but that doesn't mean I want to
have it all.
Essentially I want to have a desktop, I need emacs, internet connection
(isdn), netscape (sound + mp3 would be a bonus, too). Everything else I
think I will download once I need it (ie apache, mysql, jdk, gimp,samba), or
maybe install it from the CDs. But I don't need zillions of programming
languages I'll never use, let alone hundreds of weird tools that I can't
even pronounce and that are duplicate in their functionality.
There doesn't seem to be a distribution that can achieve this? I can't
believe that a Linux installation requires several 100MB of harddisk space
:-(
Usually my Linux installations were successful, but it always takes hours to
wade through all the optional packages, which I find quite intolerable.
Many thanks for any recommendations.

Debian comes in at under 40MB for a base install (I pruned it down to

With Linux being open source, isn't there a way to read EXT2 drives from

Maybe. However I compile kernels just fine on my RH7.
The problem is also that you are compiling for SMP when
you only have 1 processor.

In the first place, try to press Strg-Alt-Del shortly after the X-Server
starts, this should kill the x-server and you should be able to switch

If everything fails, try to telnet your box from another machine if you
have a network installed....
