Thanks, but I have the card detected, modules installed, and it's all working
now. I ended up sort of combining three different descriptions of how to
install the modules, but eventually got it sorted out. :o) The Linksys folks
need to work on their documentation for Linux, I think!

Subject: FAQ or HOWTO about setup w/ RAM > 1GB ???
Date: 10 Mar 2001 10:31:31 -0600
I have a system with 2GB of memory running RH-6.2, but it only appears
to be able to address the bottom 1 GB, regardless of what I've tried
in the 'lilo.conf'.
I have been told that this is a kernel issue, and that special versions of
RH such as the ``Enterprise Edition optimized for for Oracle'' can access
up to 4 GB, but this seem like rather expensive overkill (esp. since I am
not running Oracle).
Is there a FAQ or HOWTO for setting up RH with huge amounts of memory ???

You can turn off autofs.

Subject: Need help with LILO, I think.
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 10:51:43 +0800
I'm not sure if LILO is my problem or not.
What happens is:
At boot up, sys gets to where LILO should start,
but 'x and o' start scrolling endlessly. I have to 'ctl,
alt, del' to restart. LILO never starts.
I tried to do /usr/doc/lilo-0.21/QuickInst, but it ends
with a message sawing there were problems. it does not say
what the problems were.
I've also tried to 'fdisk /dev/hda' so I could look at it and i get a 'command
not found' message. I tried this as user and as root.
Does this 'x and o' have anything to with this '1024' thing?
I have no idea what this '1024' thing is.
Any help will be appreciated.

No need for a FAQ/HowTo as this is just an option you can set to enable RAM > 1GB,
if you compile a kernel from the sources. But you should read the Kernel-Howto (use
your
favorite search engine/it should be on your distro. Next download a fresh
kernel from kernel.org/mirrors. Read Documentation/Changes that come with every
kernel and check/upgrade your system accordingly.
Then start configuring/compiling your kernel.
Good luck

Hello,
I was trying to install Redhat 7.0 on my PC. I have a 100MB IOMEGA zipdrive
setup on hdd.. when I boot RedHat 7.0, detects the zip drive, but then it
checks for "partitions" on it and then gives a "hdd : lost interrupt".. this
keeps getting displayed on the screen. I tried using expert mode but it was
no help as the booter would still autoprobe the devices giving me the same
message and leaving me with no where to go but rebooting the system and
trying something else.. but no success..
I was wondering if any one of you guys has any ideas ? i would really
appreciate the help.

When I try to install RedHat 6.2, 7.0 or 7.1 the installer segfaults or
just quits and I can't grab the error. I tried my little Linuxcare cd
and it works okay, but I get odd segfaults when I do 'ls' or other normal
commands. It's sporadic though. I have no idea what would be the problem.
My hardware:
Asus A7V
Duron 800
128mb PC133 w/ IBM chips running at CAS3 (default)
Maxtor 30gb 7200rpm on ATA66

I'm sure other people have successfully installed RedHat, but does anyone
know what the problem would be? Should I try different memory, CPU, ...?

I use Mozilla. It is a bit slow but it works and doesn't crash as much as
Netscape 4.7x
And, yes, mozilla can handle Java. Just go to a size that needs java and
the browser will inform you of this and install it for you ;)
I got java working on mozilla 0.6. Have not really tried 0.8 since I don't
need java that much

bodly marched in and issued the following proclamation:
If you've got a router setup and functioning properly-
The only thing you need to do then is hav the router to be the machine
that actually connects to the internet, and have all the clients use
the router as their default gateway.
i.e.
Say your routers IP address (internal) is 192.168.0.1
With a second NIC/modem/whatever, you're router would then be getting
an *external* IP address from your Internet provider say 212.44.xx
whatever.
thus, you would set your clients on the LAN to use the IP 192.168.0.1
as the default gateway to the internet. I'd suggest reading up a bit
on IPMASQ (IP masquerading) and Firewalls as well.
No point in letting everyone who knows your IP to have access to your
network, now is there?
The reason why I suggested the router projects earlier was that (in my
case) I'm using Freesco as my router/firewall/Samba server/NAT. It's
almost insultingly easy to setup, and it works like a charm.
There's a *HUGE* forum on their site with questions/answers from
actual users (including me) that will answer just about any question
you might have. Nice people too :)
I hope that helps you some.

I use galeon here and it does almost everything I want. Its pretty fast,
quite solid (yes, it does crash occasionally) and renders nearly everything
really well, including javascript and java.
Galeon is a Gnome-UI for mozilla (Mozilla has improved a lot since ns6 was
forked from it).
You have to download mozilla 0.8 from www.mozilla.org,
the java plugin from somewhere on ftp.netscape.com and galeon 0.10.1 from
galeon.sourceforge.net.
If you can live with incomplete javascript support, konqueror from KDE 2.1
is an even nicer experience.

I just installed Mandrake 7.2 on my machine, and am very happy with it, but
now i've a problem with the printer configuration.
Using Kups, when i first try to install my printer, he says to me that he
hadn't detected any printer, so i must mannualy chose the LPT port. (lp0 in
this case)
I choose the good drivers, i set up all my printer settings (paper,

I doubt it.
The "1024 thing" is often when you get "LI " and a blank stare because
you're trying to boot from a harddisk cylinder > 1024...
It kinda sounds like you (or something..) caused a typographic error
in /etc/lilo.conf

And how much memory did you compile the kernel for? The "normal" limit
is about 975MB. Change it and recompile.

Maybe you've solved this by now. I had the same response last night
from my server.
The reason had to do with which ftp services were allowed in the
inetd.conf file (I use Suse 7.0, so your config file may be different.)
The original file allowed these three ftp services...
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd wu.ftpd -a
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd proftpd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
When I left all three services available, I could ftp in.
For security considerations, I commented out the latter two, and tried
to ftp from my Win98 machine using the native DOS ftp client, and
recieved exactly the same response you did -- possibly because I wasn't
using wu-ftp(?). Then I commented out the top two, and allowed only the
last service, and I was able to log in no problem.
Hope this helps,

Internet has become such an important part of computing that it may be a
breaker for most users. I agree with your sentiments. I heard that you
can use MS Explorer under Wine. As you know, Wine allows you to use
Windows programs on Linux. I often use VMWare and emulate Win2K, just so
that I can surf over to some of the more Java-intensive sites. Otherwise,
I use Netscape 4.75 on Linux for most.
I hear a lot of internet-boxes that are dedicated for internet access and
web browsing, and Linux is often mentioned along with such concepts. Since
Linux currently doesn't have a web browser that's worth mentioning, perhaps
Win95 may be a better choice for a dedicated web browsing box, because
Win95 at least has Explorer. I'm not being sarcastic here! As a Linux
user, I know that Win95 can't compare to Linux, but at least Win95 allows
you to do what you want/need to do; web.
I wonder if Linux will *ever* have a web browser that is a worthy opponent
to Explorer,...

Linux does not use the bios once it has booted. It directly goes to the
disk.
