C: 1 Gig FAT32 primary for WinME
E: 1 Gig FAT16 primary for DOS
F: 13 Gig FAT32 primary for Win and Linux later
I want to split this partition during installation of MDK 7.2
D: 15 Gig FAT32 extended for Win Software, data and backup
Question : will a split of F: into a Win and a Linux part create
problems since the MBR is only able to handle 4 primary partitions ?
You can't split it, nor can you make an extended partition (You already have
one). You should try to shrink F: and add the space to D:
I don't know if there's a tool that can do this though.
Easiest solution IMO is delete both D: and F: and recreate the partitions
as you like. Now you will probably say: But I don't want to lose the data!
I: Make a back-up!
You: I don't have backup media!
I: Then don't even think about messing with the partitiontable.
Everytime you touch the partition table, you must either backup, or be
prepared to lose data. It will be fine in most cases, but if you're not
careful, you will lose data in the future.

I'm not sure I understood :
1st primary partition is type 83 and 8Gig size
2nd primary partition is fat 32 and 1.5Gig
3rd extended partition type 85 for linux
4th extended partition fat32 for Win
Shouldn't you have a problem with a Linux or Win boot instalation above
cylinder 1024 =3D 8 Gig ?

Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2001 16:11:15 GMT
Hi ,
I've successfully installed rh6.0 ( kernel 2.2.5 )( Hedwig ) on my pc.
Have a lan running and have been following the network administrators
guide at
"http://www.ssc.com/mirrors/LDP/LDP/nag2/"
to setup networking. I get a successful ping when i do a ping localhost
and when i give my own network address ( 192.168.0.67 ). However, when
i ping another machine, i donot recieve any replies.( verified from
ifconfig )
I have not been able to set the mediatype to 10BaseT as suggested by my
netadmin. I tried using ifport but got an error , 'operation not
supported' from ioctl. Using modprobe rtl8139 also failed to give any
output.
I wonder if somebody can suggest what i am doing wrong.
Regards,
Abhishek
ps. the card was autodetected during setup.

Is there anyway to setup procmail to not put DEFANGED in the
attachments? It's causing our users some headaches.
example: resume.34123DEFANGED-doc (was sent as resume.doc)
I am a newbie to Linux, and working on a system that was setup before I
started working here. So my knowledge of Linux is limited to what
others have told me.
Thanks,

When ran succesfully "modprobe rtl8139" will not give any output at all.
To see if the module has loaded run "/sbin/lsmod" If the module hasn't
loaded try loading it again manually, and run lsmod again. You may try
to pass IO addresses en IRQ's to the modules with :
"modprobe rtl8139 io=0xd400 irq=9" (With appropiate values for io and
irq of course)
Then look at the output of the ifconfig and the route commands,
typically one should get something as:
herman@mephisto% /sbin/ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:33294760 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:33294760 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:B4:B7:EB:D5
inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:149651 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:40
TX packets:5717 errors:138 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:138
collisions:2364 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xd400
If the output you got isn't to your liking you can manually configure
them till things work (with appropiate values for your network:
/sbin/ifconfig lo down
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 192.168.255.255
Next you need to look at your routing tables mine are quite straightforward:
herman@mephisto% /sbin/route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
localnet * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default default.gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
If those don't exist try :[Remeber that your netmasks and network
ipnumbers may be different)
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0
If you are receiving SIOCADDRT errors with the above try:
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.0.0
And if there is a default gateway:
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1

That depends on what hash is used. Most Linux distributions use MD5
lately; I hope Sun isn't still using UNIX DES.

RedHat 5.2 used DES/UNIX password hashes by default. RedHat 6.1 used
MD5 password hashes by default. Is there any chance that you're
running a non-pamified IMAP/POP daemon (an older one)? Are you using
NIS or some other network authentication? Can you login as one of the
new users at the console with the new password?
Our main server is running RedHat 6.1 (plus numerous updates) --
upgraded from RedHat 5.2 and previously 4.2.

You'll be happy to know that on a server I have access to setting
a user's home and public_html directories to 0755 gives a 403 error
when trying to display directory contents. These have been changed
to 0701 on your advice.

I'm trying to make the HardHat (Montavista CDK 1.2) Linux kernel 2.2.14 for
the bseip engine load a ramdisk and mount its root fs from that. But it
refuses to see the ramdisk that I've loaded with the kernel. I tried to load
as described in the BSEIP engine Manual and in the HardHat manual too, but it
only works when I use the kernel and the ramdisk from the bseip packege. If
I try to use the HardHat kernel and any ramdisk it don't work. I tryed using
rdev on the resulting image and it didn't worked too.
This is when I build a image without the bootlo.bin, from BSE, with the
kernel from HardHat (../mbxboot/zImage) and the ramdisk.gz from BSE :
