I currently have Caldera's e.Desktop and windows
98 installed using Boot Magic as the loader. I'm
planning to install a win 2000 upgrade but am
afraid that I may hose Linux. I'm assuming that
I have to uninstall boot magic, run the windows
upgrade, and then user the windows 2000 boot
loader. According to Caldera Boot magic does not
support windows 2000.

I'm not sure but I'll give it a (simple) try.
I have had some problems similar to that of yours and they
were just because:
I had not added the user to pppusers (group) OR
/etc/ppp/options had "lock" statement OR
access/group right of pppd

Did you create a new initial ram disk as well (initrd)?
I think this is used for letting linux to load modules
that it needs before it is able to access disk: SCSI in
modules, right?

In fdisk (linux) it goes as follows:
Primary partitions (only one "visible" at a time in windows) go
from 1 to 4. If it is windows first installation then C: is
probably "1" and extended partition is "2".
Logical partitions go from "5" upwards, so if you have C: as
primary, and D: as logical they will be as:
/dev/hda1 first IDE disk, first primary partition
/dev/hda2 -""-, second primary partition as extended partition
/dev/hda5 first IDE, first logical disk
If you are using UDMA66 it might be that you should
give linux some more parameters to detect your disk
as /dev/hde, for example

The standard method is to do:
touch /tmp/foo
make install
find / -cnewer /tmp/foo > /tmp/listOfFiles
But of course, you could do the install to a subdir of your choosing
instead, if the PREFIX variable is implemented in the makefile. The
method above is merely the generic one.

The type of this extended partition should be 0F, not 05. Also it
seems as the partition tables are written using a wrong BIOS
translation. The output from fdisk however cannot be used for
evaluating that.

You can make a boot disk using
mkbootdisk 2.2.16-??
(do uname -a to see exactly what verion of the kernel you're running). This
is not really a rescue disk. The above link has some pointers to how to
make rescue disk. I have been running Linux for a good couple of years now,

To boot Linux via NT's OS Loader, you need to install LILO on the Linux
boot partition, then copy the first sector of that partition to a file
that NT can read (say, on C:). You can use dd to do this, thus:
dd if=/dev/hda8 of=/win98/linuxboot.img bs=512 count=1
You can then point to the linuxboot.img file in the OS Loader
configuration file, and it SHOULD work. If it doesn't, you may have
messed up the LILO configuration or the OS Loader configuration, or your
kernel may be over the 1024-cylinder mark (although I think LILO would
complain when you tried to install it if that were the case). Please
report more details of what's going wrong if you've already tried this
-- for instance, what (if any) error messages you get, and what your
/etc/lilo.conf and OS Loader configuration files look like.

Doing this conversion is not easy; you'd also need to convert /dev/hda9,
and you might need to back up and restore everything. If you want to go
to that bother, though, you could try doing it using NT's disk
partitioning tool. If you do that, NT should be able to cope, although I
can't make any promises after you change the partition types to 0x83 and
0x82 in Linux. (NT, as you've gathered, is quite the cry-baby when
partitions change, even partitions it has no business touching).

I assume you're running bash. You should locate you bash profile (probably
called .bash_profile) in your home dir and edit it to contain the required

Remember to export them as well - use the path statement as inspiration.
