Heh, heh! I could not believe that this site actually had a banner for
web accelerator. Why, Linux is the best web accelerator I've ever seen.

When I type "adsl-start", there is no response and after some time I got

Hi there,
I am planning to get a notebook that supports Linux Redhat 7.0 version. I
went for a recent PC fair and approached some technical staff from
Toshiba,IBM,HP & DELL on the support for the installation, but to my
surprise none of them are sure about Linux OS. Can someone tell me which
model of Notebook supports the installation for Linux Redhat version 6 or

Okay...
I know I may get flamed for even asking this but I had a dual boot
system (Mandrake7.1 and Win98) which I just turned into my primary
Windows machine. I deleted the Mandrake partition (it was actually on a
separate physical disk) to just run win98 on that machine [I have a
separate machine for Linux now - I haven't gone to the dark side
entirely]. I booted into windows, formatted the second disk to FAT
using partition magic, and rebooted to windows fine. My problem arose
when I rebooted again...
I got the infamous "LI" black screen of death when I rebooted....
Leaving me to think that I screwed up something with LILO when I toasted
the Linux partition - the master boot record is still looking to LILO
(on the disk I reformatted) to boot? How do I get my machine to change
back to the windows' master boot record on the C drive rather than
trying to look for LILO on the (reformatted) D drive? I can boot into
DOS using a boot disk but partition magic will not do the trick b/c it
needs win32 or something to run...

Should work, so IMHO something's corrupted at your place.

The above meant using the command 'locale' and looking
in section '1' of the manpage 'man 1 locale'.
'man man'.

Likely either a glibc or a locale problem.
As you do not set LANG by intention, unset it (and all other
according variables). IMHO netscape won't warn then anymore.
Then try exporting only LC_CTYPE=en_US.
Reinstall your *locale* package from CD, otherwise try the suse support.
Blame them, if you verified, that you made the upgrade correct.

I've personal experience of IBM, Toshiba and Dell laptops, all of
which work well with Linux. Personally, I'd recommend an IBM Thinkpad
(my current laptop is a T20). You'll find numerous pages on the web
explaining how to get everything working under Linux (just search for
"Thinkpad Linux" on Google).
I've no personal experience of USB Floppy drives (the IBM comes with
hot-swappable floppy and CD Rom).
All the best,

Download the (MSDOS) tools from 3com to disable the plug-and-play of
that card. Windows will work fine with the card without plug-and-play,
and that should allow it to work with linux as well.

No changes to your bios settings should be needed.

Thank you for your reply. You may be right about it being a hardware
problem. For the moment though, since everything seems to work just fine
under Win98, I'm still thinking it's a problem with my linux
configuration, or lack of. It may or may not be significant that my BIOS
is old (1994). I may have something wrong in my kernel. It also makes a
difference whether I boot directly into DOS and then use loadlin, or
whether I first go into Win98 and then reboot into DOS. Perhaps I'm not
considering the plug & play aspects of the card correctly.
One reason I mention the BIOS is that box #2 is newer with a later BIOS
and everything seems to work ok.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice.
I've tried to trace through the script myself, but wasn't quite successful

Thus, I re-installed my RH (since it's a new install), set the default

Looks weird, but temporarily cure the problem.

Hi,
I've recompiled my kernel 2.4 without problem.
However, after moving the bzImage to my /boot as vmlinuz-2.4.0 and
configuring and running lilo.
I manage to have lilo giving me the option to boot
linux
linux-2.4
win
my linux and win is working fine
but the linux-2.4 hangs after saying the decompressing of kernel OK and
booting.
I think I've not have all the files in the /boot as necessary.
How about the
boot, module, system.map files?
As they are already present in the /boot directory as symlink from the
original 2.2.16 to these, how do I create a separate link from 2.4 to these
files?
Thanks for any advice.

But is the card configured correctly, after it had been detected? What
output gives /sbin/ifconfig? It should show the ip-address, broadcast,
netmask, IO-port and Interrupt address for each device. Second
/sbin/route should also give correct output.

specification.

after booting into DOS using a floppy, this should recreate the master boot
record and remove LILO
