Mbrwork solved a write protected C: drive problem recently when all
else failed. He was using a dual boot also.
Write protected may mean Locked, which is what some utilities do. If
the utility doesn't close normally it fails to Unlock the drive.
Boot to the Dos Command Prompt and enter UNLOCK C: Don't enter
LOCK as that locks it. Don't use LOCK for any security purposes,
it's not that kind of lock. Enter unlock /? and lock /? for
information.

Mmm... Your system should come with netscape 4.72. From the other newsgroups
you posted to, I guess you have a slackware system, and I'm positive it
comes with netscape.
Anyway, just type 'netscape' at the prompt. If it doesn't work, look for the
.tgz file on your install cd. At the very worse, download it from
www.netscape.com.

Running XFree, you just need to edit you /etc/X11/XF86Config file and modify
your keyboard section.
XkbModel should be set to "pc104", and XbkLayout to "us". That should do the
trick.

Thanks. I got it sorted. I was booting it with 'linux single' as
suggested by someone in here, to stop it booting X automatically.
Instead I used 'linux 2' (runlevel 2?) - as suggested by someone else in
here :) and I could edit it ok.
Thanks everyone

Subject: Motherboard problem
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 23:32:30 +0100
I have HUGE problems installing linux(tried 3 different distribs) on my
computer. The kernel always segfaults before the end(usually quite near the
beggining actually). This only started when I bought a new motherboard(AOpen
AK33), and is really starting to piss me off.
After a week of all-nighters, I've come to 2 possible reasons:
- linux doesn't run on AOpen AK33. Anybody care to prove me wrong?(please?).
- my motherboard is somehow faulty. What makes me think that is that when I
try to flash my bios(to 1.09 when I have 1.06), I have a 'bios not for this
motherboard' error message, which means that either the bios on their web
site is wrong, or that mine's checksum is faulty, and probably other chunks
of it.
Anybody had the same problem, or can think of a good explanation for those
symptoms?
Thanx,
Nicolas Rinaudo

On one system I have it has a USrobotics ISA modem and I had to go into
/etc/isapnp.conf and change it to use the right IRQ and it works almost
as good as my courier. But that is a redhat system.

Subject: Problems Compiling Kernel 2.2.14: "No rule to make target"
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 18:02:57 -0500
The story so far..
I downloaded the full 2.2.14 image from one of the LinuxPPC FTP mirrors,
and got everything running smoothly. Managed to hack together a fix to
get my cable modem working, got MOL working, Java, etc., and all was good!
But I wanted cable access from MOL, so I read through the documentaiton to
build a new kernel. (Keep in mind I am a semi-newbie to this, I've used
*nix, but never from the programming/build side of things).
I went through
make mrproper
make xconfig
And did all the pointing and clicking until ethertap was enabled, and
proceeded to issue
make dep
make clean
make boot
The make crashed because it couldn't find /usr/src/linux/..../asm (not
sure of the exact directory, but it couldn't find *something*.
After much poking, I found out that other 2.2.14 distributions had the
proper /asm directories and subdirecties, so I then downloaded a "full"
2.2.14 kernel from ftp.kernel.org, and that brings me to now.
I've managed to configure everything as I wanted, and I do the following:
make mrproper
make menuconfig (menuconfig is a little faster, so I use it..)
make -s dep
make -s clean
make -s boot
(I use the -s option to speed things up a little).
After issuing
make -s boot
A bunch of compile errors (non-threatening ones like:
nfsfh.c:758: warning: long int format, int arg (arg 4)
..but it keeps chugging along), until this comes:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../coffboot/vmlinux.gz', needed by
`zvmlinux'. Stop.
make: *** [boot] Error 2
The error occures with or without the "-s" option in make dep/clean/boot.
I would really like to get this thing working by the weekend. If i do a
clean install of LinuxPPC from the CD I burned, everything works fine, but
i can'd do Ethertap, which is what I need for MOL! :(
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

I got this same error.
Do make mrproper before you do make xconfig.
This solved my problem.
BTW, I now have compiled the 2.4.0 kernel for 586 and it is running well so far.

Depends which dialer your using? You might look in:

I ran into the same problem and after much searching have come to the
conclusion that you should either use another software other than MS Proxy
if your Linux need to get out or do what I did and scrap proxy altogether
and set up linux as the 'internet gateway'. It really is a lot easier than
it sounds.
When I was using MS Proxy my windows computers could get on the net fine
but no linux could. With linux as the internet provider for my network
everyone can get out! And not only that but it seems faster and even more
things work.
Even AOL's browser works behind Linux internet.

Hey all,
I recently (not really, a few months ago) installed RH7, upgrading from
6.1. Anyhow, printing works fine from apps like Netscape and StarOffice,
but I cannot print from a console my issueing an 'lpr ' command. Nothing
happens, and I don't get any error message. But if I issue an 'lpr foo'
command, and then check the queue by 'lpq' it tells me that there are no
printable jobs in the queue,
and then quite interestingly, that the print job I just sent, was
removed.
What gives?
Thanks in advance,

With an ATAPI internal zip I didn't need to configure the SCSI emulation
on my system. It was seen as ATAPI. I also didn't need to add anything
to lilo.conf to get it to work. Just added it to fstab and made a mount
point for it in /mnt/zip and chmod /mnt/zip so users could use it then
use fdisk on it and delete the partitions on the zipdisk and create an
ext2 partition and format it. AND it worked.
