You can check to see if linux has recognized your card by typing "ipconfig".
This will display loopback, and ethernet connections. Also, you can use
"dmesg|more" to see the boot up sequence and see if it list any eth0 lines.

Basically, you'll need to set up SCSI emulation in your kernel, plus
you'll need the cdrecord and mkisofs packages. Full instructions
for this can be found in the CD Writing HOWTO at
http://www.linuxdoc.org. It explains how to set up for burning
data and music CDs.
When you recompile your kernel, I'd suggest removing support
for IDE CD-ROM drives completely. The SCSI emulation will kick
in and make your CD drive appear for read purposes as
/dev/scd0, so you'll need to change your /dev/cdrom link to
point to that device once you're done. (Be sure to LEAVE IN
support for IDE hard drives, or your system won't boot!)
Hope this helps.

OK, the problem is everyone keeps telling me you have to install Linux

Does that count once you've partitoned the drives? My second partition

Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 13:50:37 GMT
I've seen where it does this on a couple of my Mandrake 7.x
systems, and it was because it had completely hosed up a
couple of directories, /var/log/mail and /var/log/news. They
were both a couple of megabytes just for the directories and
had 40000 to 60000 files in them. So trying to put anything
in those directories took forever (ext2 filesystem).
I'm not saying that this is the problem you're having, but
it may be a good idea to check it out...
Are you using devfs? I've had a few things not like devfsd
initially but it seems fine now. A couple more programs had
to be upgraded to get used to having enormous device names
in 'df', etc.
Hope this helps,

I started to post only masquerading portion of the script, but thought the
firewalling portion might give you some ideas about other ways to use iptables.
If you want to check what you have "visible" to the outside world,

Subject: Linux on an Amiga 3000?
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 08:31:59 -0600
Hi!
I have an 16Mhz Amiga 3000, and I'm interested in installing some flavor of
linux on it. Is this possible? Here are some of the particulars:
- I think I have 8MB RAM (could be 16 though)
- I have a 100 MB Hard drive, are there any obvious limitations on me just
removing this and putting in a larger (2 GB) IDE...or is the internal
factory installed hard drive SCSI?
-No CD-ROM, but I can obtain a 2X SCSI for free. (I think that since the
CD-ROM is an older, wide connector, that I need to obtain a cable that hsa
the wide connector on one end, and the smaller (32 pin?) scsi to connect to
the box itself.
-The mobo on the Amiga 3000 runs a Motorola 68030 CPU...which linux flavors
work on these (I'm assuming that YellowDog might, since it caters to the
Motorola-based Macintoshes)?
-Whay about modems...I have a US Robotics 33K external parallel...can I use
this?
Has anyone attempted this, and if so, how did you do it? I really love my
Amiga, but its time to 'slick' the drives and move on with Linux.
Thanks in Advance for any help!

You do not.(not with RH7.0 and probably not with the SuSE either)
Make a bootfloppy just in case something fails.
You can always boot from floppy (as it never exceeds 1024 cylinders)
If the installer set up something wrong, boot from floppy and restore it.
If you are really scared, then don't install it. I'm not forcing you to.

Yes it counts, but nowadays it simply doesn't matter anymore.
It's for older distro's that contained an old LILO.
The lilo that ships with RH7 is new enough. it will boot without problems.

What is readcd? My guess is that it is messing up with the bootable

Subject: update...up2date
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 15:49:56 +0100
I currently have a RH7.0 install and am trying to use up2date as a way of
keeping the system up2date (!!) with the latest packages but the up2date
manager is not particularly intuitive and I can't find any man pages. The
documentation of Redhats web site just covers some basic use but this
relates to the latest version.
Updating up2date is causing some problems with dependencies (something which
I was hoping to avoid). I retrieve the up2date packages and try to apply
them but get an error about dependencies for pygnome-libglade.
Removing the up2date packages works but the I can't install up2date-gnome
for the graphical manager. (see below).
[root@homer RPMS]# rpm -Uvh up2date-gnome-2.1.7-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
pygnome-libglade is needed by up2date-gnome-2.1.7-1
[root@homer RPMS]#
I can't seem to find pygnome-libglade on the RH download site, the link
can't find the right file and looking at ftp.redhat.com is of no help
either.
Does anyone have experience of using up2date? I imagine I'm doing something
in the wrong order but just can't get to grips with it.

You've been using too much Windows 2000: the command is 'ifconfig', not
'ipconfig'. And it's better to use 'ifconfig -a' for troubleshooting, because
it shows all interfaces, including downed ones.
FYI, piping dmesg output to more is not always the best way to check for a
network driver being loaded, because other messages are often written
to the kernel ring buffer that will prevent you from seeing the initial
boot-time dmesg entries. If this has occurred, then try 'less
/var/log/dmesg'. Under Red Hat 7, the dmesg output from immediately
after initial boot-up is saved to that file.
Also, an easy way to configure network interfaces under Red Hat 7 is
linuxconf.

Nope, it's just because it comes pre-installed on almost every machine you buy,
it's not harder to install a decent Linux distro, then install WIN XX, it's
just much faster, cause you don't have to reboot all time and if it's done,
most sw is installed...:-)
But no one actually installs WIN XX from scratch and assumes, that it would
be much easier, but it isn't, try it out, if you don't believe me....

Subject: CD-ROM problem during RedHat 6 install
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 16:46:13 +0100
Hi all,
I'm trying to install RedHat Linux 6.0 on my machine (which has a Celeron
500 MHz, 64Mb of RAM and a 2 Gb partition on which I want to install
Linux). I've been able to create a boot disk using rawrite and have
succesfully booted up from this disk into the installation program, but
when I get to the stage where the installation program asks if this is a
hard disk or CD-ROM install, when I select CD-ROM, the program appears to
hang. I'm sure it must be detecting the CD-ROM drive, because when I
select the CD-ROM option, the CD-ROM drive spins up. Also, if I don't put
the Linux installation CD in the CD-ROM drive, the program asks me to put
it in. So, I'm not sure what is causing it to hang.
Out of desperation, I also tried using the autoboot.bat file that comes on
the CD and booting from DOS, but it had a problem creating a file from an
image.
I will gratefully receive and try all suggestions. Needless to say, if
there's anything else you need me to supply, please let me know.
Regards,
--

Sorry, but it's not the only kernel on your system. The disk blocks
containing the image of your old kernel are still intact in the free
space on your disk, and your boot sector (probably the MBR) and
/boot/map contain a list of those block numbers. As soon as any of
those blocks get re-used you won't be able to boot. Before that happens
you need to re-run the Lilo installer to insert the disk addresses for
your new kernel into the boot sector and /boot/map.

i can give you a great example why. i am a long time windows user (it's
pretty much all i've known). i am so sick of and utterly frustrated with
windows and it's performance, hardware and software. i have been forced to
seek other os's, and i've found linux to be quite pleasing. i only have
minimal experience with unix, but i realize that it may take some time and
patience to completely understand how to do everything in such an
environment. i would much rather spend 5 to 10 hours learning how to do
something on an os that won't crash every time i boot the damn thing. yes,
i have to reboot windows almost every time i use it, and i'm talking about
different platforms on different machines. although i haven't used it all
that much, i haven't yet had to reboot linux because an os crash. i think
the problem most people (especially newbies) have with linux is that they've
heard great things about it, but expect it to just come to them. yeah, you
may have to spend some dedicated time to get things to work or understand
the os. but, i think in the long run it's worth it.
and fyi, it doesn't only take a half hour to get things working on windows.
recently i had to re-install nt4 because a service pack destroyed my system.
it's been a week, and i still haven't fully recovered.
my 2 cents...

Looks like an hardware problem... try to use "expert" installation.

Dear all,
Do you know where can I find the driver for this SCSI card? So that I can
install RH6.2 to my DELL Precision 330.
Thanks a lot!
