Mmm... Ok, two possibilities here:
1- Suse mounts your file system read only when you boot in single user mode,
in which case you shall have
to use some kind of boot disk.
2- XF86Config is read only, in which case you need to chmod it. "chmod 600
XF86Config" should do the trick

Hello Mario,
The slackware linux installation comes with the Netscape Communicator web
browser. Or if you refer to installing a web browser of your own making, you
can use some development software such as k-developer or glade.

i know what you are going through
i got a secondary 45g drive as well (20g for mp3 and another 14 for
spooling mp3 usenet groups.)
and had a hell of a time dealing with windows finding it
even thow linux had no problem.
once i finaly got all of that resolved i was in no mood
to try and format the drive with fdisk
partition magic to the resque.
one word of addvice if you do use partition magic.
dont use it to test for bad blocks.
do that under dos with scan disk
otherwise you will be waiting for 3 or 4 hours for it
to format.
one of the nice things about partition magice is that it can
handle linux partitions too.

There's a book by O'Reilly called "Building Linux Clusters". the
instructions seem very detailed (as in clear and step-by-step), and the
book includes a copy of Red Hat 6.2 and various other clustering software
and scripts. I haven't started building my cluster yet, so I can't comment
on the accuracy of the info in the book. Also, I'm sure the clustering
software has been updated since the book was put out, but it's all stuff
that is free to download from the internet.

Hi Paul,
If you are using the correct Fdisk and Format programs for that
OS and if Fdisk /mbr doesn't help then download Mbrwork.zip
from www.terabyteunlimited.com read the text file. If it's not
available there for some reason I have it hidden on my web site for
a download. The download zip is 15k.
Here's part of the Mbrwork text file:
__________________________________________________
It can perform the following:
1 - Backup the first track on a hard drive.
2 - Restore the backup file.
3 - Reset the EMBR area to all zeros.
4 - Reset the MBR area to all zeros.
5 - Install standard MBR Code
6 - Set a partition active (avail on the command line too)
7 - Work with multiple hard drives.
8 - Remove EZ-Drive (You must boot directly to a diskette (by
passing ez-drive) for this option to show)
9 - Capability Check - Currently the only check is how the system
handles unaligned partitions. This is useful for users of BootIt.
A - If no partitions exist in the MBR and no EMBR exists then this
option will allow you to recover lost FAT, HPFS, NTFS, and Extended
partitions.
____________________________________________
What #8 means is that *IF* there is a drive overlay loaded and if
you boot without a floppy you should get an option to boot with a
boot diskette. It will tell you when to put in the Startup disk.
This will disable EZ Drive before you boot with the diskette which
you must do. Don't remove EZ Drive just disable it, you can
enable/remove it later if needed. If you don't get this message when
booting then boot with the startup disk normally.
Put Mbrwork.exe on the Startup disk first.
What I've done successfully is backup the first track first then
zero it then install the standard MBR. After the drives were back to
normal I ran Fdisk /mbr, which you may not want to do.

Bill Watt

Hi,
The above answer is bogus assuming you had a previously working system
before compiling 2.4.0...
The real reason is that it is caused by you not compiling in the 'kernel
module loader'. This is found under the 'loadable module support' menu -
last option when using 'make xconfig'. With this option, as and when the
kernel needs a module it is able to load it.
I had the same problem & got the dreaded 'Delaying eth1 initialization'
message...
HTH

IIRC FIPS is for the FAT FS.

You can change the partition ID without danger. Use linux fdisk.
After you made the change, it's a wise thing to run a fsck/scandisc on !all!
partitions, not just the logical ones.
Changing the CHS values is something you should probably not do, unless you
plan to reinstall

Look for /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S01halt and /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/S01reboot files. If
they're missing (that's probably the problem) do:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S01halt /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt

Hello
I am a newbie to linux and I just installed Linux Mandrake 7.2. I use a 104
us keyboard.
Could anyone tell me how can I map the right hand side of the keyboard to
use the 'home', 'end', and arrow keys? It does work with numbers (when I
num lock) but does not work when I release the num lock.
Thanks for your help.
