You perhaps forgot, the first very impotant step:
Reading Documentation/Changes and check if your system has everything

Subject: Trouble with netware
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 00:11:37 GMT
I am getting the error "No such entry (-601) in nds login" when trying to
connect to a Netware server - whether it's ncpmount or anything else
requiring credentials. I can see the Netware servers using "slist" and get
info about the servers using nwfsinfo. I can login and mount from my
windows box.
Running Redhat 7. TCP/IP installed and running. ncpfs.o is loaded as a
module. 'cat /proc/net/ipx_interface' ok. This is a new box on the
network.
I am a netware newbie. Do I need to do something on the netware server to
recognize this box. Do I need to configure any config files for ipx on my
linux box?
Thanks.

You need to install the libc development package. Then you need to find
out (i.e., file a bug report) with your distributor, asking why you would
install a C compiler without needing the C development files.

Perl is a scripting language. Just get the script, and run it.

Thanks, that worked just fine.... I was missing the 'map-drive' and the

even find them in the 'man lilo.conf' file....
now if I could just figure out if I can stop lilo from using that

Subject: PC, MAC and Linux Network
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 06:25:59 +0800
Hello all,
I'm thinking of building a network with the following:
1 x PC (Win98SE/Mandrake 7.2 workstation, AMD K6-2 350, 288M Ram, 10G HD,
3COM 3c509 NIC)
1 x PC (Mandrake 7.2 workstation, P166MMX, 40M Ram, 1.6G HD, Genius NIC)
1 x PowerMac (MacOS 8.5, PPC7100, 88M Ram, NuBus, 6G SCSI HD, transceiver)
1 x 8 port minihub
1 x cable modem
1 x PC Bubble jet printer
The cable connection is using dynamic IP. Which network design is best for
the above components? Is it a good idea to setup a Linux server using the
Mac with MkLinux? Or should I configure the second PC as a Linux server
instead? I also want this network to be firewalled regarding the security. I
just don't have the faintest idea to make the whole thing work. Anyone??
thanks!!
regards,
wes

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it did not work. I tried removing
custom modeline and DefauldDepth, and running standard modes -- no luck.
The strange thing is that I have no problems with kernel 2.2.18 but the
thing freezes when I compile and try 2.4 kernels, no changes to X config
files, etc.
The only thing that I can think about in kernel 2.4 is DRI, which
should not matter as my card is PCI (and a machine in my office
works fine on 2.4.1 and XFree 4.0.2 with an ATI Xpert 98 PCI card and
almost identical XF86Config-4 file and kernel compilation options).
I can live with 2.2 kernel, but I am curious what is going on and will
be glad to hear any further suggestions.
Regards,
Alex

Good news! Sort of...
As you know I have the same hardware with the same problem. But
another guy in my Linux class (yes, I'm a newbie) came up with a great
"workaround".
First of all, the problem is just with Gnome. How do I know this?
Because everything works just fine with KDE.
What we did was to enter the following command at the shell:
"switchdesk kde". But now that it's been done I'm not sure about the
case of "KDE". So just enter the basic "switchdesk" command alone and
the options should present themselves (if you loaded KDE during the
installation)
I'll still be looking to find a resolution the Gnome problem but this
got my ENTIRE graphics desktop running at the full 1600x1200.
Good luck

I took the .config file you posted and used it to compile the 2.4.1
kernel here on my RH7 machine. It compiled to a kernel file that was
462,244 bytes (approx. 450k) big.
Is it possible that the file you're saying is too large is
/usr/src/linux/vmlinux? If so, that might be the problem.
That is not the file you should be using... the bootable kernel
built by "make bzImage" and/or "make bzlilo" is the file
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and is a compressed
kernel.
Try using that file as your bootable kernel image.
By the way, I got an error message when compiling drivers/video/fonts.c
that said "no fonts specified". I got rid of it by selecting one of
the video card drivers under the DRI selection (the Help file for
the DRI selection says that you have to select one of the card-specific
drivers for inclusion in the kernel if you include DRI).
Hope this helps.

Yes, _but_ we simply can't read all the different newsgroups ppl are
asking questions regarding amavis (well, deja.com is/was of some help).
We do run this mailing list for providing support and the traffic in
amavis-user isn't that high currently.

Read the "Changes" file under /usr/src/linux/Documentation. There are
quite a few things that are different and quite a few that need to
be at certain point releases. You'll probably need to upgrade pppd
and modutils at least.
Also, under 2.4.0, there's a device file you need to create that wasn't
part of the way the "old" PPP worked. Details are in "Changes".
Best advice is to RTFM the "Changes" file and follow it. I speak from
bitter experience. Drove me nuts trying to get PPP to work until I did
that.

My /etc/sysconfig/mouse says:

I'll try putting what you have in my /dev/mouse and see if that

Give the cable to the linux and set up IP-Masquerade on it.....use it as a
gateway.
Then just put the rest on a private 1 hub network.....share with SAMBA and
Netatalk.

I'm not familiar with the exact features of a PPC 7100. Certainly the
RAM and hard disk specs you've quoted are superior to those of your
second PC, so if your server needs to handle a heavy load, the Mac would
be superior in that respect. With a light load, though, or possibly with
upgraded RAM and/or hard disk, the PC might do quite well.
Also, MkLinux is, AFAIK, essentially abandoned. If the 7100 will run
something that's currently being developed (LinuxPPC, Yellow Dog,
Debian, or SuSE, for instance), I'd use that rather than MkLinux.

As a general rule, it's best to isolate your internal network from the
outside with a dedicated firewall of some sort. With a low-end cable
connection that probably only gives you one IP address, you may want to
get a dedicated broadband router, like the ones reviewed at
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/reviews/. Some of these have
built-in hubs or switches, so you'd dump your existing 8-port hub.
Others would require that you keep your existing hub. If you're not
really using one of your computers for other things, you could dedicate
it to this function. (Two NICs would help make this secure, but one
would do in a pinch.) In either case, the firewall will have to do
NAT/IP masquerading, which lets several computers share a single
external IP address.
If your server must be accessible from outside your network, you'll
need to forward ports through the NAT firewall. Configuration details
depend on what you use for that function.
