Yes, thanks for that - I'd already looked through the Phoenix site - there's
no information about such an old BIOS. Basically, it looks like there's no
option to change PnP settings from within the BIOS that I have.
So, (possible BIOS upgrade aside) secondary question - if I go ahead and
install, does this mean that Linux won't be able to find any devices since
Windows is handling the PnP stuff? Or does it mean that PnP is being handled
by the BIOS already?
[I ran the pnpbtst.exe utility (http://www.phoenix.com/products/util.html)
and it found nodes which means that PnP is supported by the system - so
presumably this is being done by Windows?]
Thanks for your patience - I have read lots of info online about this but
most of the Linux docs assume you can disable PnP OS support or similar, and
the BIOS resources don't address this.

Order does matter in the kickstart file. Try putting your "lang" entry

This sounds bad. I can't say I know what's wrong, but I can recommend a
course of action:
1) Back up Windows to tape. (Do it twice for safety.)
2) Wipe all partitions.
3) Create new partitions.
4) Restore Windows from tape.
5) Install Linux.
My hunch is that your partition table is corrupt in some subtle way that
lets some programs and OSs function but that causes problems for others.
If I'm right, this could jump up and bite you at any time, hence my
recommendation to completely re-do your system.
It's possible that something like Norton Utilities could fix whatever's
wrong with the partition table, but it's also possible that it'd just
cause more problems, so I wouldn't try it before backing up.
Perhaps somebody else has seen these symptoms, and can offer an easier
solution.

I guess a printcap entry for this printer would suffice.
Also, if anyone can clue me in, I can't get Xwindows running becuase when I

Sound as if PM resized the FS, but didn't update the partition table.
If windows is sure that you have a 3.5G partition, you can try to find the
CHS values that belong to that FS.
(Use PM for it) Then you can use linux' fdisk from a rescue system to
delete the current partition and recreate one, with the CHS values you
found.
This is an action where you should back-up before you start. If you make a
typo, you can easily make all data inaccesible. If all goes well though,
you won't need to reinstall windows.

It doesn't matter. That's just their opinion. I don't agree with it, and
I'll stick to the classic way, thanks. If you do things the "new" way it

You can do anything you like. I assure that that's where I have my
link to the kernel sources, and that /usr/include/linux is a link
to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. There's nothing wrong with it.

I have looked at the Linux from Scratch virtual book, and find it a little
confusing for this newbie. Also, have trouble finding some of the rpm's that
are required. Is there another way? For my own education, I would like to
start with a minimal linux like CClinux. Then add a terminal (like the old
Win3.1 terminal) so I can dial to ISP. Then lynx to an ftp site, like Debian.
And then start to build a system that would include X, KDE, a dial-up
networking connection, and finally Netscape.
I know, your first thought is why doesn't the newbie get an easy install CDROM.
Well, I've done that on some desktops; but I want to do it now on a laptop
where the ext PCMCIA CDROM keeps crashing the kernel. Thanks in advance for
clues.

Sounds like httpd is starting before you get a new address from dhcpd.
Try changing httpd to start after you get a new address or
add a ServerName entry in httpd.conf (instructions are in the file)

The problem is, is that i keep on getting an error when i try and mount. I
am using the following command:

The error i get is something like "wrong major / minor numbers".
I have got a 30GB h/drive. I have 3 win partitions (c - 2gb, d - 10gb, e -
10gb). Linux is 8GB.
I have listed the devices (ls -l /dev/hda*) and i can see the values for the
major / minor numbers, i just dont know what to do with them.
I have scoured the internet for information so this is my last port of call,

Subject: Downgrading to Mandrake 7.2 - did Linux become a windoze clone?
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 16:45:38 GMT
Hi All,
I was an enthusiastic linux user for the past 5 years, but now Mandrake 7.2
got me really frustrated, so that I have to tell you about it...
First a bit of historical background about me and Linux:
I started using Linux in 1996 with Slackware (prior to that I was a Unix
user on SGI and SUN boxes) went through the hard learning curve of tweaking
all the setup and configuration files and scripts by hand getting it up and
operational with X-windows on a then-latest graphics card which was only
supported by the latest beta release of X at the time. few month later I
learned about the existence of RedHat 4.0 and was amazed how easy it was to
setup... Then I stayed with RH upgrading as they came out upto 5.2.
Then I switched to Caldera which I found even better, professional,
not just easy to configure and maintain but also well geared for
professional usage and development (BTW I am a software developer, so I
work on these boxes not just play or have fun with them). Finally,
last summer I switched to Mandrake 7.1, because the latest Caldera
release (2.3/2.4) had outdated kernel and X and I could not get my
new nVidia graphics card working on it with hardware accelerated OpenGL
without some major hand-upgrades and kernel compilation (which I tried to
avoid to keep my life simpler and be able to focus on my work instead
of system administration). Also, there are a lot more RPMs available for
Mandrake on the net, so it seems worth switching...
Now my rant:
A lot of RPM packages, that I could download from the net were packaged
with a newer version of RPM and the one included in Mandrake 7.1 could not
handle them. Funny, that even the new version of 'rpm' was packed with
that, so I've seen no way to get around this problem other than upgrade
to 7.2 which had a newer rpm in it. OK, I bought Mandrake "COMPLETE"
the 4CD version from Macmillan Software. Compared to my previous 2CD
version 7.1. it is rather incomplete!
1. Upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 via the install CD 'upgrade' option does not work.
It fails real bad, falls into an infinite loop, can't even shutdown
gracefully - have to get drastic and press reset.
2. Installing 'on top' of 7.1 without that being wiped out gets into an
unusable state, package manager crazy, basic things (like terminals) crash.
3. OK, let's try a format / partition and clean install... I get a choice
of installing packages from minimal (300MB) to ALL, which states 800MB,
which sounds rather small as my 7.1 install was over 2GB. Anyway I go
ahead and install everything I could choose. I get the system up and
running. But then I find out it is pretty useless:
Things missing from a full install (all packages) of Mandrake 7.2 COMPLETE:
- no C++ libraries, headers or compiler
- no gcc installed - WHAT? Full linux without gcc ???
- no telnet, ftp, nfs servers
- no cvs
- no nslookup
... and probably many more things missing, this is as much as I came across
in half a day so far.
4. Fortunately, some of these are on the CDs, so I could install them AFTER
the so-called full installation. Another frustration here is the RpmDrake
GUI software, which tend to crash if some conflicts or missing dependencies
come up during installation. After crash, you have to figure out how far
it got installing the selected packages and you have to select the remaining
ones again and go ahead until the next crash... and iterate...
5. Some of the missing packages are not even on the CDs, e.g. cvs does not come
with Mandrake 7.2 Complete. It was in 7.1...
In conclusion: Mandrake 7.2 provides a very flashy install and boot system,
doesn't ask any questions about the hardware (autodetected everything fine)
and installs a desktop system which is fine for general office usage and
web browsing. BUT, it does not have even basic development and server tools
necessary for a LAN. So, it is a perfect replacement for windoze -
home users welcome to the linux community!
On the other hand, old timer developers like me should stay away from it!
Is this a new trend or I just picked the wrong distribution ?
Anybody care to comment on RedHat 7.x or other distribution's newest versions
from the developer's pont of view ? Are they also stripped down ?
Have a good day,
--
