I used BootPart. I guess it's short for boot partition. It sets up the NT
boot loader to duel boot with Linux no matter what partition or driver you
installed it in. Nothing changes if your using Win2k.
You install LILO to the "master block" of the partition it is on. At this
point neither OS needs to be aware of the other's existence. You copy the
BootPart.exe file to the NT boot partition (usually C:)
Using a command prompt window in NT run BootPart twice. First time it reads
all partitions and drives and numbers the various OSs that it finds begining
with 0. You then run it again with the number. For example, if your main
Linux
partition is numberd as "2" by BootPart, then you would type:
"BootPart 2 bootsect.lnx Linux"
The "bootsect" file is created by BootSect and is the file NT's boot loader
needs to know how to switch to Linux's partition. The "Linux" is jst the
description that goes in the Boot.ini file. Make sure the bootsect.* file
is in the root and the boot.ini path to it is correct. It may work in other
locations, but I like to keep it in the root of C:
The normal zip file name for it is "bootpa22.zip". If you can't find it
anywhere, I can e-mail it to you.

Rob,
This is not a direct answer, but you could DL OpenSSH (http://www.openssh.com)
in a RH .rpm file. When you install it, it sets up everything perfectly,
including copying the start,stop script into /etc/rc.d/init.d and
creating all the start,stop links (/etc/rc.d/rc#.d/[SK]##...).
Then you can reboot or simply start the server daemon manually:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start

WABI is created by SCO rather then SUN.
After the discontinued of WABI, some of the source where use to create
Win4Lin.
I tried both VMware and Win4Lin and the speed on VMWare is horrible with
my PII350 with 192MB RAM.
Win4Lin runs well and I dun have to setup IP MASQD to have VMware
connect to the Net etc.
I have another partition of W98 but I somehow found Win4Lin run faster
then the Win98 on the other partition.

Appletalk is what you need I think. You also need to make
sure your kernel has this support built in. What steps you
should take might be documented in the kernel sources.

The lines that read 'undeclared here' should give a clue.
Seems you have not configured your kernel right. Reconfigure
using make menuconfig and read the help in it.

Try either "make remove" of "make uninstall", if those don't exist;
simply disassemble the Makefile and reverse the "install" section.

Do you know about 'makewhatis'? See man page for 'whatis'. Basically,
all you have to do is run /usr/sbin/makewhatis (as root) to create the
database "man -k" searches through. BTW, do you know about 'man -K'?
This searches the complete text of man pages looking for the keyword. I
do not believe it relies on a search database, but it's slow (relative
to -k).

I had a problem that sounded similar, new WD 13.6 5400 (136aa, I believe was
the model#) it started a ker-clunk noise and failed with in a few days of this
behaviour. The drive was 10 days old, replaced it with identical drive a month
and a half, same thing happened. To be fair, I have purchased 2 more of these
drives (different source) and haven't had any trouble from them, one is in a
friends comp, on is in my sons.

It can. Read the stuff on NT domains in the Samba doc tree. It is

I had a CD, made on Windows NT, which had both a UDF and an iso9660
filesystem on it. I don't know exactly how that was done, but if I
mount the CD as UDF, I see the UDF files I expect, while if I mount
the CD as iso9660, I see a couple unrelated files.
When I tried to use "auto", it always found the iso9660 filesystem,
which unfortunately was not the filesystem I wanted.
>From that, I concluded that auto-detection of UDF vs. iso9660 is never

Windows TechEdge carried an article in August 1999 about NISGina, the
NT MSGINA.DLL replacement. The URL for the article was...
http://www.windowstechedge.com/wte/wte-1999-08/wte-08-integration_p.html
NISGina can be found at URL
http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~williams/nisgina-current/
NISGINA provides the NT-side facilities to permit a Windows NT
workstation to authenticate a userid using NIS.

Just add the following line to modules.conf
Alias eth0 3c90x
Then using linuxconf or netconfig enter the IP, gateway, etc and all should
