I have same problem, even I try to create LILO boot disk in Floppy, it still
doesn't work, it freezes after show "LI".
Can anyone tell me how to create the boot disk in Floppy?

Since SysV R3 (with symbolic links) it has been almost
*impossible* to get the partition sizes wrong, and hence there
is absolutely no need to readjust partitions sizes (which was
indeed a *serious* admin consideration when installing a SysV R2
UNIX). Instead entire directories can be placed on other
partitions and symlinked to any given location.
For instance, in most of the multi-partition examples shown in
this thread there have been both a /tmp and a /var partition.
That is an unnecessary waste of disk space. The /var partition
is going to suffer high fragmentation, which is one reason it
should be a separate partition, but that also makes it a great
place for /tmp to physically be located. Both /tmp and /usr/tmp
should be symlinks to /var/tmp.
Other obvious candidates for locating on other partitions with a
symlink are /usr/local, /usr/X11, /opt, and where ever it is
that emacs/xemacs or tex are located.
Likewise the /home directory can actually be on one or more
other partitions. /home itself can be a symlink, but so can
each user's directory if that is useful (as might be for the
/home/ftp directory, as an example).
Hence, while it is possible to get / or /usr partitions too
small, they will be too small to even install the first time if
that is true. If those partitions are large enough to actually
manage a functional install to begin with, they *never* require
resizing.

I am trying to acces my parallel Syquest Sparq 1GB drive. I'm running
kernel 2.4.2 with the epat, pd, and paride compiled as modules. The BIOS is
set to use EPP and I'm mounting /dev/pda1.
Now I can mount /dev/pda1 no problem and I can do an 'ls' and get output no
problem. However when I try to erase anything from or write anything to the
drive the process goes into an uninteruptible sleep mode (ps shows D) which
cannot be killed. Rebooting is not possible either.
dmesg shows the following message over and over again:
pda: do_pd_write_drq: status = 0x10050 = SEEK READY TMO
Does anybody know what is happening?

Just installed RH 7.0. A couple simple questions:
- I have tried and failed to install Sun's StarOffice. I downloaded
"so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin", but don't know what to do with this file.
It's not a shell script, and typing the filename at a command prompt (in
the files directory) results in "command not found". This is obviously
an incredibly basic Unix question, but what does the ".bin" extension
signify? What am I supposed to do with this file?
- Is there a simple way with Gnome File Manager to see your FAT32
partitions on the drive? (I previously used Corel Linux a bit which did
this by default.)

chmod +x so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
./so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
follow instructions.

edit /etc/fstab and add a line like:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win vfat auto,uid=1001,guid=501,exec,umask=002 0 0
create the mount point, with the mkdir command
* /dev/hda5 is the partition.
* /mnt/win the mount point, created with the "mkdir /mnt/win" command
* vfat is the partitiion type FAT32 with long file names
* auto, the device is mounted at boot time
* uid,guid First I would assume that you work as a user other then root,
when running linux. My suggestion would thus be to make /mnt/win completely
owned by that user, by adding the options uid=user,guid=group where
you substitute hilde with the correct (g)uid.
* umask=002, The default permissions are set with umask variable,
umask=002 (read-write for user and group, others read-only) is pretty
standard. Remember that vfat doesn't have native pemissions so that
trying to change them, whith chmod, or using chown is impossible.
For more information take a look at the manual page "man mount"
especially the sections "Mount options for fat" and "Mount options for
vfat" and the man page "man fstab".
Good luck.

Flip,
Actually I'd recommend using both masq/ipchains and squid. Thats how i
run things here and the caching proxy for the web alone is unquestionably
worth her weight in ram alone. Security, well so long as you don't do
anything silly with squid like allow proxying from the outside eth or ppp
she stays quite secure. Ipchains...that is as secure as you want them to
be. But I definately recommend both.

I finally figured out that you are meaning
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes and I went and looked there but did not
seeing any thing that would help me resolve this. I beleive someone suggested
to select the processor type, which I have not had to do before. I did not
though, see any reference to this in the above document. I beleive this may
solve my problem and am recompiling as we speak. Thank you though for your
suggesstion will know to go and look in this file from now on. We need a
central web site when a kernel is releace that say each time what files
should be read. There use to be a kernelnotes.org page but it hasn't been
updated in almost a year.

Hi all,
I downloaded the modutils-2.4.2.tar.bz2.
./configure --> success
make --> gives error "linux/limits.h" no such file or directory.
I have kernel-2.4.2 sources that compiled successfully with a symbolic link
"ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include/linux." After compiling and
installing 2.4.2 kernel, 'make modules_install' failed. So, I downloaded
modutils-2.4.2 which is giving me problems.
All expertise is welcome.

Thank you both, as I am recompiling it now with K6 as the processor. I didn't
seem to have to do this for 2.2.x kernel. Maybe I did and it was running under
a P3 when it should have been a K6. Oh well....

Just a little word of advice. Always put your -o <output file> AFTER the
list of input files as follows.
$gcc -Wall -O2 -pedantic <file(s) to compile> -o <output file>
I once saw a guy do it the way that was previously suggested and he forgot
to type in the name of the output file. Consequently, the first filename
after -o was the name of his input file, which gcc happily overwrote with a
useless binary output file.
He lost all his work.

Hi
I want to upgrade my system from redhat 6.1 to 6.2.
What is the easiest way?
1. Just update the components that I would like newer:
sendmail, imap, kernel, ftpd, apache
2. Download the full cd and install from that. The way I initially did the install.
3. Use ftp install
Or
Someway to magically tell linux to update thyself.
Sounds like the ftp install could be the easiest.
Ideally the ibstall would not need a install floppy made.
Wouldnt require a reboot until it had finished downloading the components I want.
TIA

best?? Someone please help :)

need to have the repackaged debian experience, storm is nice but I don't
know if you can download the iso anymore. I think you still can. Progeny
is coming along and there are others based on debian.
If you are new, have you looked at Mandrake or SuSE? I personally like SuSE
because it feels well thought out. I have done mandrake for short periods,
debian still, redhat only when I have to, and SuSE. For my two cents worth,
I like debian and SuSE. If you are new, I think SuSE is okay. It has some
nice features. Mandrake is usually suggested for new folks though.
Here's a thought... Try 'em all. Then where you finally end up will be
after extreme experimentation. You can buy them quite cheaply from places
like cheapbytes.

YOu are gonna have to do a bit of reading on this. Look on the web for how
others have setup roadrunner services. I usually search on deja or google
for things like this. I bet you have a network card in the linux box. It
will have to be configured and you will have to run dhcpcd to get an IP
address. Next, if you want to share the connection, read up on firewalling
and masquerading/ipchains. Now, to whet your whistle, get a second nic card
and hub and setup a private home network from which you can share the cable
coming in. I have one IP address but several systems which use it from
behind a firewall and NAT box. Lots of things are possible here; including
wireless.
Do some reading on linux networking and security, ipchains, and basic Linux
system administration.
Then get ready to read some more :) Linux is a reading and exploration
experience.
