Aloha kakou,
I am trying to get Linux to peacefully coexist with Win2000 - already
have 2000 loaded - trying to add Linux.
I have a 20gb drive. The first 9gb is a partition for Win 2000, then a
1gb Win 2000 partition, then a 2gb ext2 partition, then a 250mb swap
partition. The rest of the drive is unused.
Linux installs to the ext2 partition with no problems. However, no dual
boot options appear.
Any help before I harm myself would be greatly appreciated. Please
respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mahalo nui,
Bill Courtney

The flashing cursor means there is no operating system. DOS cannot be
just copied to the first primary bootable partition, it must be
installed using the DOS sys c: or format c:/s (deletes all data in
the process). The boot loader can than change which is the bootable
partition at start up..

I have one too. Why did you cross-post to so many groups?

On this one I am not certain. But with linux 2.4 soon to be
released, I believe some of the newest functionallity
is being put 'back' into kernel 2.2 releases, hence, backport.

For kernel patches you must find your current kernel with
some command like 'uname -r'. Then to patch that kernel
you must get *the next higher numbered* patch.
If 'uname -r' reported '2.2.17', you then would get the
2.2.18 patch.
Good luck.

Greetings,
>From the look of the messages you are receiving, it looks like all you
have to do is mount the zip drive to access it. You may need to edit
/etc/fstab file to include a line that looks something like this:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev 0 0
Depending on your system yours may be different. Of course you will need
to make sure the directory /mnt/zip actually exist. If not create it. Then
you should be able to mount your zip drive from the command line using
the mount command: mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip. If you are using a gui, you
can make an icon to represent the zip drive. Right click on the desktop
choose new, then file system device or floppy device. Work your way
through the tabs to set up the icon. Make sure that there is a zip disk in
the drive before attempting to mount it
I hope this helps

I checked the kernel and I can't find an option to get linux to recognize more
than 64MB.
$ su -

# cd /usr/src/linux

If you are not using LILO, you must be a GRUB(BY) person :)
If you are using GRUB
Pass a mem= option to your Linux kernel, like this:

Those aren't normally patches, but "pre-patches", like applying the
2.2.18pre25 patch will build you the kernel that will be very close to
the finaly release of plain old 2.2.18. And its applied to a clean copy
of the 2.2.17 unpacked archive.
Where you want to maintain configuration continuity, eg use the same
options in the new kernel as the old one had, unpack the full 2.2.17
archive, renaming the resultant linux directory to 2.2.18pre-whatever
patch you are gonna apply. Then make a softlink to it from linux.
Then copy your good .config (& .config.old) from the 2.1.7 dir to the
2.2.18pre?? directory, cd to the 2.2.18 directory and do a make
oldconfig, which will configure the new kernel like the old one was, and
giving you a chance to add/delete the stuff thats new.
There's more, but you get the idea I'm sure.
Cheers, Gene

Why in the seven hells did you post to so many groups? Don't do that!
It annoys people considerably, and your post was blatantly offtopic in
several of those groups you posted to.

Code ported from the development kernel (2.4.0-test12 atm) to the stable
kernel (2.2.18 atm). For a long time, USB and NFSv3 support were only
available as backports if you wanted to use the 2.2 series.

Patch 2.2.18.gz will change your 2.2.17 kernel source tree into a 2.2.18
kernel source tree.

I'm currently using the RH6.1, sendmail 8.11.0-1 and imap
4.5-4.
My pop3 suddenly gone, I check the /etc/inetd.conf there is a
line like
below: pop-3 stream tcp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
ipop3d
And the /etc/services have two lines like below:
pop-3 110/tcp # POP version 3
pop-3 110/udp
And the /var/log/maillog like below:
Dec 12 14:17:41 office ipop3d[1181]: port 110 service init
from UNKNOWN
Dec 12 14:17:41 office ipop3d[1181]: Invalid argument while
reading line user= ??? host=UNKNOWN
It seems to be fine for the pop3, is that right? But I dont
know what's
going on, it die suddenly, I cannot receive pop mails any
more. (I can
received the pop mail before I upgrade the sendmail from 8.9
to 8.11)
And I'd try to use telnet to connect it
telnet 192.168.16.1 110
Trying 192.168.16.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Please help me to fix my problem.
Thanks a lot
Jack Cheng
