If you make the wrong choice it will repartition and format ALL of your
hard drives.
I hate Disk Druid because it lumps everything into, and comsumes your
drive with, an extended partition whether you want it to or not. However,
if you thought 700 MB was a bit much, you will not be happy with Mandrake
at over 1 GB for a typical workstation install with KDE.

Ah, for the good old days when you could comfortably run X on an 8 MB 386
with Slackware 2.0 at around 2-300 MB. But I recently installed a fairly
complete FreeBSD 4.0 and it only used around 500 MB.

StarOffice alone is about 150 MB in Linux or over 200 MB in Windows. I
recently installed a Windows game that dumped 600 MB on my hd.

That is one nice thing about FreeBSD. You go to the ports dir for that
package, type 'make install' and it downloads the latest version, patches
it if needed, compiles and installs it, along with any dependencies. But
it does not have as much hardware support as Linux, so if a current RedHat
version cannot figure out your video, then any other X may have trouble
too.

That sounds like ttyS1 (or cua1). But if it does not show what UART you
have, the irq might not be correct. Or if it is a PnP modem, you might
need to use the isapnp tools to set it first ('pnpdump /dev/ttyS1 >
/etc/isapnp.conf' then edit that to set port and irq).

/var/log/messages may give you a clue, especially if you enable more
debugging (temporarily put 'kdebug 7' (without quotes) in
/etc/ppp/options).

Driver? Modems use a standard serial driver, nothing specific to the
modem (unless it is a winmodem supported by linmodems.org). Although, you
could put a modem init string in your chat script if needed.

hi
I have a super vga graphics adaptor ( T9750 w/4mb w/tv pci ). I don't know
computers very well and I'm a beginer but I tried to install it myself. It
does work but when I go to my display settings it says " memory: 1 mb "
and I'm sure that I have a 4 mb graphic card.
Also since I've installed this my monitor doesn't come up when I start my

I have installed this at least 10 times and except the times it didn't

Investigate ntp, xntpd
Or your distro might have netdate, which is good for 1-shot syncs so to
speak.
To be honest once a month is almost certainly not enough.
If the time difference becomes excessive all sorts of strange things happen.
Particulalrly in an NFS development environment.
Also it is nice to have all machines telling the right time, but that
doesn;t mean it is the correct time !
You can get the time of a net time server or maybe even, as in my case
from an ISP.

I assume you are running Linux on a SMP machine.
'linux' starts the kernel which supports SMP (more than one CPU)
'linux-up' stands for uni-processor support. Use this one when you don't want to to
utilize more than one CPU for any reason.
Do disable it:
- edit /etc/lilo.conf
- remove the linux-up entries
- run the command 'lilo'
See 'man lilo.conf' for more information.

Since WHEN does service pack 4 (or later) add FAT32 support to NT4?
The ONLY way I know of to add FAT32 support to NT4 is with a third
party driver (from www.wininternals.com). Are you confusing NT4 with
NT5 (a.k.a Windows 2000)?

It works because of the way the BIOS calls HDD's
0x80 is the first (bootable HDD), then come 0x81, 0x82 etc
Linux can deal with not being on 0x80, windows cannot.
(Linux will have problems too if it is installed on hda and swapped to
another location, but that's not all too difficult to solve either)
But it also works because of herbs.... :-)

Hi all :
I create a installation and a boot disk for installing slackware
7.1.
Cause I need to build-in a new scsi driver for installation, i made a new
kernel to replace old one on the installation
floppy disk . ( I make the kernel at another computer)
When it wants me to put into a boot disk and press Enter, I do that
and the system will tell me
"Umount root ".
Maybe i need to build-in something which i don't know. ( I have
tried to build-in items as the sym538x.s/config.gz )

It will if it was there before you installed linux.
lilo -u will put the MBR back that it overwrote the first time.
Later installs of lilo will no longer make a backup of the previous MBR

Not sure which KDE applications even display a date, other than the KDE
panelm which has an abreviated alphabetic month followed by the day.
Maybe it has something to do with your locale (language) settings in your
environment. For example if you look at files in /usr/share/i18n/locale
you will find:
en_US d_fmt "<%><m><//><%><d><//><%><y>"
en_GB d_fmt "<%><d><//><%><m><//><%><y>"
Although, I always thought that different separators were used (/ vs. -)
so you could tell which format it was. Maybe you simply have not set
your desired locale in your environment.

At the lilo prompt enter `linux 3` instead of just `linux`, it will
bring you in the runlevel you specified (3 in this case)
So it's not a real nightmare, just a (major) inconvinience. That's why
you should always try startx first, before changing runlevels.

I have the folowing problem. Netscape 4.61 (libc5) used to work pretty
well on my system (Redhat 6.2) but for some reasons that I don't realy
know, my system started to crash regularly when I tried to access
certain URLs. I then decided to install Netscape 4.62 But this new
version couldn't even start and just crashed with the error message "bus
error" I then tried to install Nestscape 4.76. I was able to start it.
But now I have the problem that when composing a mail message, the
address completion does not work, and when I try to get the address from
the address book, Netscape will crash.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks

Well you can write anything here, but unless you *show* us teh partition
table, we cannot help you.

and post the content here.
The fact that DiskDruid wouldn't let you create /boot, implies that you
are over cylinder 1024! Well the fdisk listing wil show that too.

That's a solution, but try to install it in the boot partition first.
(make a bootfloppy first)

If your BIOS is new enough (support for ext'd int13 calls) and LILO is
new enough, there's no real problem (Although lilo MUST be in the MBR in
this case)
Best advise is to read up on this stuff. manpages/info/howto and readme
files that come with LILO are your friend. It's a lot of reading, but it
will pay off.

I have some problem and i solve it to copy ne module to ne1, change alias
for second to ne1 and in modules.conf give the correct I/O and int
(options ne io=0xXXX irq=Y, options ne1 io=0xXXX irq=Y).
