In building the kernel proper (although not all of the userspace helper
tools), the header files in /usr/src/linux/include are accessed directly
rather than going through the links in /usr/include.
If your system is one that uses the symbolic links, they should be
/usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm
(and the latter should be a symbolic link to the appropriate
asm-SOMEARCHITECTURE directory).

You will need to do the following as "root or "su" to root and install
it by following these steps.
chown 0.0 so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
# this makes it owned by root
chmod 755 so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
# make it executable
"cd" into the directory where the file is and run:
./so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin /net
Install it where ever you want it, I will use "/usr/local/office52" for
example purposes. Once you have it installed you may need to change
the path to where you installed it in the next step.
Make a symlink so normal users can use it.
ln -s /usr/local/office52/program/soffice /usr/bin/soffice
The only thing left is to login as a user and run.
soffice
For each user that runs "soffice" for the first time It will
automatically install the user files.

If you have an older monitor, your video card might be maxing out your
monitor. If you have a 14" monitor try setting the monitor to an NEC
Multisync 3FGe, if it is 15" then a 4FGe. These work with 90% of monitors.
Hope this helps

I wonder what kind of distro you use, or if your videocard is not supported?
The distros I know/use (mostly SuSE) today have setup tools, to configure X11
within seconds (if your card is supported), no need to fidle around with your
XF86Config
anymore, that's years ago you had to do this...

There is a image viewer zgv which works
beautifully & has *lot* of options. It uses
svgalib. Even though my card is not supported by
svgalib, I specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config the
chipset as VESA. And it gives me 1024x768@32bit
(max supported by my monitor).

All graphic adapters work fine AFAIK (although for the newest GeForce
cards, you will need a recent XFree86). The s3 trio virge should work
too, although I have never owned a s3 card and therefore cannot guide
you though it.
I myself have a riva128 based card. Although it does not have 3D
capabilities, it works just fine for my purposes and should be available
for around 20$ or perhaps even less.

I guess, that you know what IRQ is conflicting...
IIRC 3c509b (don't you mean sc905b?) is a PCI card. So go into the BIOS
and reserve the soundblaster irq for ISA. Now the 3com card should be
assigned another IRQ.

Never exchange drives while the computer is on - unless you have scsi
hotswap drives.
Well, probably this is not what you mean. Prior to ejecting the
cd/floppy, you have to do a 'umount /mnt/cd' or 'umount /mnt/floppy'.
To have this done automatically, install automount (probably already on
your distro cd if not installed) and configure it something like:
/etc/auto.master:
/mnt/mounts/cdrom /etc/auto.cdrom --timeout=10
/mnt/mounts/floppy /etc/auto.floppy --timeout=2
/etc/auto.floppy:
floppy -fstype=vfat,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=865,quiet,nodev,nusuid,noexec
:/dev/fd0
/etc/auto.cdrom:
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,codepage=865,iocharset=iso8859-15 :/dev/hdc
Adjust the cdrom device according to your system. Now do:
cd /mnt
ln -s mounts/cdrom/cdrom cdrom
ln -s mounts/floppy/floppy floppy
chkconfig --add automount
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start
as root. Tha last two lines assume a RedHat system. If you are running
something else, you will have to make it start up automatically.

I can no longer mount my cdrom as a normal user,
having upgraded from 2.2.17 to 2.4.0. I get the
message
mount: /dev/cdrom has wrong major or minor number
and in the logs I have
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o: pre-install

where /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/scd0. I can
mount it when root, but this is far from ideal.
The kernel setup has modules for cdrom, ide-cd, ide-scsi,
sr_mod, sg as before.
My modules.conf is the same
alias eth0 ne2k-pci

pre-install sg modprobe -k ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe -k ide-scsi

Sure. Leave swap and /home alone, as you mentioned, and create a new
parition for the other system's /. When you do the install make sure that
it allows you to mount an already configured filesystem for /home rather
than trying to create a filesystem on that partition. Back everything up
first just in case.
To make lilo happy, you'll want to point to your new system too.
I keep the lilo.conf on my primary system up to date and rerun as
necessary. You'll want to create an entry similar to this:
image=/mnt/test/vmlinuz (Or wherever your other system is mounted)
root=/dev/hdb4 (Point this to the root partition of the new system)
label=Test
read-only
optional (I like this option because then lilo doesn't fail if it can't
find it - I use it on all non-essential entries)
Good luck, playing with other distros and systems is fun! You can play
around without fear of hosing your primary system. :^)

I've done quite a few of these. Yes, they can share swap and usually they
can share /home. I usually run them on the /home on the / partition until I
am sure that they won't write any files that overwrite what I already have
in /home. (like config files for Gnome or KDE and such) Slack uses 1000
for the default uid for the first user; so in order to use /home and user
made with something that uses 500 for uid, you have to read the man page on
how to do useradd and make the uid 500. So check out the uid when you make
your user so that you can make that change if needed later when you start
using your /home partition.
Yes, you can have multiple / partitions. Just make a new partition and
install. I never write over my mbr with LILO when I install. Or maybe you
have grub in there. I copy the new kernel into my main install's /boot and
edit lilo.conf and rerun lilo in order to include the new distro in LILO in
the mbr. I'm sure there is a way to add the new distro with grub too. Just
be sure you have a working boot floppy in case the new distro overwrites the
mbr even though you try not to. When you boot, only the / partition for the
distro you choose will be mounted; so there will be no confusion even if you
have many other / partitions sitting there. You will be able to set up
/etc/fstab so that /home will be mounted too, but like I said, it's best not
to do that right away until you get a feel for the new distro and what it
wants in /home. With some of them, I have found it best to just mount /home
under /mnt/<something> and make links to my mail directory and news
directory. I forget which distros I've had trouble with.

Depending on what you're doing, 400MB for swap is probably overkill in
your case. Unless you're doing things that are particularly memory
intensive or running a big server, having a total of RAM+swap > 500MB is
probably not needed. Since you've got 384MB of RAM, that would mean a swap
partition along the lines of 116-120 MB is probably sufficient and you may
never need that much.
Assuming you're planning on running X and a typical complement of apps,
400MB won't be enough for / if you don't split off other directories from
it. Separating out /var and /usr are pretty common practices, but I prefer
to have them all together for flexibility's sake. My machine isn't exposed
to the internet or I'd more seriously consider separating /var to avoid
root filesystem overruns in case of DOS attacks. My total usage for /
which includes everything on that system except /home and /boot is 1.7GB,
little of which is fat, but does have the full documentation installations
and other things that could be trimmed if necessary.
The size of /home is entirely dependant on what you're using the system
for. Is it multi-user? Is it a single-user system with little data being
stored? Too variable to make a call.
I hope this helps some.

That's not it. The libasound libraries are located in /usr/lib, and I have

Subject: help with configuring xdm on RedHat 7
Date: 26 Feb 2001 11:48:35 GMT
Hi everyone,
I am running RH 7 with kernel 2.4.2 on an Intel box
(233MHz/128MB RAM). I would like to connect
to this box with X-Win32 from a Microsoft
Windows. However, nothing seems to be working
for me. Here is what I did:
- from the Linux box:
1) edit the the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess file
to allow access from anywhere,
2) start (or restart) xdm,
-from Microsoft windows (98/NT):
1) Launch X-win32 application (using XDMCP)
Nothing work. I have the same identical RedHat
linux 6.1 box running 2.2.18 and it works there. Are
there any differences between 6.1 and 7.0 that I
should be aware of. If anyone know how to fix this
problem, please help me. I am really desperated for
a solution.
Many Thanks.
David
