Craig,
I don't know why I did this, but after seeing references to it, I went and
killed gpm and that freed up the mouse on X! I think the mouse and gpm had a
conflict on ttyS0. gpm is supposed to provide mouse-like capability at the
console, right, but I got nothing there either.

Should I try to reassign gpm or mouse to ttyS1, or something like that?
Thanks for your help,
Dave

It is known that gcc-2.95.2 doesn't build right on glibc-2.2 systems.
I'm not sure whether you are running into this particular problem,
but you could try

(1) applying the patch at
    http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/gcc-glibc-2.2-compat.diff

or

(2) trying gcc-2.95.3.test*, which is being prepared for release soon; see
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-03/msg00387.html

Hi,

I'm almost tearing my hair out on this one. I've got a Pentium 120. I'm trying
to install any recent distro. I've tried three of them and none worked. Here's
a summary:

Mandrake 7.1:

boots but when it loads the ramsisk, it freezes.

Red Hat 6.2:

It gets to /sbin/loader then freezes

Storm Linux 2000 (Rain):

I can configure my system and format the hard disk. When it comes time to
install the packages, it freezes.

I have been able to install SuSE 6.1 but it doesn't recognize my Ethernet card
(Linksys LNE100TX).

What I see as a behaviour is that before the freeze, the CD light flashes then
the CD becomes silent. The keyboard still works but the installation process
proceeds no further. I've got an old Adaptec scsi card, an ATI Mach 64, 64MB
RAM, three Hard disks and a Creative Labs CD.

I have no idea what the bug is. Has anyone ever seen this?

Thanks,

Ah.  That's precisely what I do here using my 20MB 486DX4/100.  The
version of Linux that I use is specialized for the purpose, and is
called Coyote Linux:

  http://www.coyotelinux.com

Fits on a single 1.44MB floppy, boots to a RAMdisk, and acts as an IP
Masquerading firewall between my hub and my cable modem.

That's correct.  I use a pair of old ISA NE2000-compatible cards.

The latter.

No -- do the above.  Check out the Coyote Linux site.  If your cards
(or their base chipset) seem to be supported, you might be able to use
something a lot less complex than a desktop Linux distribution.

Question from a newbie

Having just started looking at this.
I have a question

What is the purpose of having separate partitionsbeginning with /
Why would you not just create 1 partition and use subdirectories in that
partition..
Also where can I read up on a logical explanation of the meaning of
partitions such as
    /
    /boot
    /build
    /usr
    /home
    /opt
    /src

I am planning to install on a  backup Win2k machine.
    It is a Pentium 166 with 80 meg of memory
    It has a 20 gig drive that I am dedicating to system use
        Of this  7 gig is used for Win2k
        Giving me 13gig for linux

I am not deeply interested in the mechanics of Linux.
    I am interested in getting away from Windows to get better performance
on some of my pet software projects
    These will be coded in Java and ultimately be providing a value-added
service through my onw web-server.

Until the project is viable and can be farmed out, I need to run it on my
own intranet for testing, and on the web for revenue generation.
Possibly there will be a need to emulate Windows on  some of the
applications...

I got an inkling of the purpose of all these partitions from the other posts
in this thread, but additional clarification and suggestions as to my setup
would be appreciated...

By the way, in Windows, and in DOS before that, I have always segregated my
files into 3 major groups
    \Sys     For all system files
    \Data    For all data files
    \Progs    For all program files

Thank you.

Subject: need help on initial setup
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 06:10:10 GMT

I've been fruitlessly trying to get my Win 98 Celeron 366 w/ 128 MB RAM to
load a Red Hat 6.0 distribution of Linux (repackaged by a company called
NetPC). The HD is16 GB with a 2.0GB C: partitition formatted with FAT16
for multibooting. I have 1 GB of freespace on an extendedpartition available
for Linux. I successfully boot to the Linux CD-rom, and the installation
wizard asks me to specify "new install", "update existing", or "dual-boot".
I've
been choosing the Dual Boot option, and then the wizard switches to a screen
entitled "Find Current Installation". It then goes to a screen informing my
that
I don't have any Linux partitions to update. It'sas if I've selected the
"update
existing" option, but I swear that I've successfully chosen "dual boot".
I've
used Partition Magic to prepare a couple of ext2 partitions and a Linux swap
partition, and when I attempt installation, the wizard asks me "which
partition
holds the root partition of my installation". It is able to see the Linux
partitions
made thru Partition Magic, but obviously can't find the root partition of my
non-existent previous Linux install. Again, I think that it's behaving as
though
I chose the "update existing" option.
   If it wasn't for the fact that I used this CD-rom to successfully
configure
Linux on a laptop two days ago, I would swear that it was a defect in the
installation wizard. I chose the same option (dual boot), and it worked like
a champ -- even found a lot of my hardware and autoconfigured my
PCMCIA cards!
   The only thing that I can offer that may be unstandard with the Win98 PC
is the fact that I used Partition Magic to convert from FAT32 to FAT16
on the C: partition.   Are there any tricks out there that I might be able
to
use to get this machine loaded? I'd sure like to hear from anyone who
might have an idea or two.

Thanks in advance

I have an old 486 computer that I would like to load Linux on to just
for the learning experience.

However I don't want to have to log onto my own computer with a
username and password. I want to just turn on the machine and have it
boot up and run. I would prefer not to even use a GUI, but to run it
from a command-line text-mode.

Is it even possible to bypass the log-on procedure with Linux? If so,
which distro would be best to try?

Subject: help with iptables script
Date: 15 Mar 2001 03:16:39 GMT

Hi everyone,

Before everyone tells me to go read the HOWTO documentation 
which I will; however, I need a quick solution and I will read the
documentation to fine tune it more.

I am running RedHat Linux 7 with kernel 2.4.2 on my home 
network on a Pentium 233Mhz with 96MB of RAM.  This linux 
box is also acting as a gateway to the Internet for my home
network.  The linux box has 2 NICs.  NIC 1 belongs to internal
network (192.168.1.1) and NIC 2 has a public IP address
63.1.78.1.  I am running iptables on the box and everything is
work great.

I would like to put squid (proxy server) on the linux box to 
utilize the web-caching capability.  However, I would like to
do it transparently without having explicitly to reconfigure
the web browser to point to squid.  I understand that this 
can be done.  Squid will be running on port 3128.  I would
like to be able to intercept web traffic (http) from internal
users and redirect it to the squid.  If everything works out,
I will migrate squid to another linux instead of running it
on the linux gateway box.  Can anyone give me the iptables
script to make this happen?

My home network looks like:

Internal network:  192.168.1.0/24 (3 machines .10, .11, .12),
linux gateway (running NAT):  63.1.78.1 (external),
                                                       192.168.1.1 (internal)
squid is running on the linux gateway box.  However, it 
will be migrated to another box (192.168.1.13).

Please help.... Thanks....

I'm trying to setup a machine that acts like a Cobalt Qube or a Whistle
Interjet.  An application server with a browser interface.

Can you point me in the right direction?  I'd like to know if such an
implementation has been documented so I don't have to recreate the wheel.

Here's the desired functionality:
Web and FTP server
POP email server
File and printer sharing with quotas and security
Backup routines

Pretty standard for a workgroup server, but I want a "dumb as a box of
rocks" browser interface to the whole thing.

Thanks in advance,

- Dan Broderick
