When you install XFree86 4.x, it starts with twm by default. The way around
this is to move the existing .xinitrc in the root directory out of the way,
then create a new one that starts gnome.
The way to do this would be (as root):
1.cd ~ (to make sure you're in the root directory)
2.mv .xinitrc old.xinitrc (to move the existing file out of the way)
3.echo gnome-session>.xinitrc (to create a new .xinitrc)
The next time you start X, you should start with Gnome.
I hope this helps.

That depends on your BIOS and your bootloader.
Nowadays, booting beyond cylinder 1024 is supported by lilo too.

Yes it matters, fdisk will use these numbers.
(PS. if it reports 3736 cylinders with these number of heads and
sectors/track
the 1027 cylinders you mentioned at the start are nonsense. It would leave
a large part of this disc innacesible)

It either has 1027 cyls or 3736 with the HS values.
And as you have a 30 G disc, it would come down to 3736 cylinders.
The table values reported are wrong.
I don't know why, nor how to change this as I never had this problem.

That's a good thing, because these are useless values.

What's on hdc btw?

adds up to (almost) 30G
So don't worry fdisk/linux uses the right values.
Is the BIOS setting changed? does that use 1027 cylinders?
Or is the drive jumpered to appear smaller, for old BIOS's?

There are no big peculiarities here, except that hdd1 is the wrong type
As it extends beyond cylinder 1024 it must be made type 0x0F.
Besides that, you shouldn't make two partitions have a bootable flag.
It also doesn't make much sense to me, to make a extended partition
bootable. You can leave this untouched, but the bootable flags provide
no useful function.

Was it a Linux box? M$ can't really stress CPU/RAM like Linux can,
machines with somehow broken RAM will run with M$ for years but Linux
will break. Try to compile a kernel if it stops with "gcc caught fatal Signal 11,
it should be the RAM, there are other testing tolls available.

What do you mean with external cache? The onboard? Perhaps this is broken?

You can't IMHO cache more than 64 MB with 256 KB external cache on those boards,
but it shouldn't matter, but there will be not much performance gain from the
last 32 MB. I would try running with 64 MB.
How much memory is recognized from the kernel (which ever you run)?
cat /proc/meminfo
If not all, you could try setting append = "mem=96M" in your lilo.conf
,run lilo, reboot and check.

Subject: Need help with Gnome 1.4 rc1
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2001 19:54:41 GMT
Hi all,
There are two parts to this plea for help. I either need some help compiling
Gnome 1.4 rc1 or some advice for a distro (non RH based) that would be easy
to get Gnome on.
Lately, I've been using Gentoo Linux. It uses Bzipped tars as its package
format. Being a new distro with a 1.0 release coming soon, they don't have
any prepared Gnome releases yet. I'm destined to give 1.4 a try (I like
living on the bleeding edge), but I can't get it to compile.
After a couple days of trial and error compiling, I've gotten Gnome-libs to
compile, but then went to Gnome-core which complained that Gnome-libs wasn't
installed. WTF? After reinstalling the libs from 1.2 (I know, a bad idea),
Gnome-core just errors out. Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh. Since Gentoo comes with rpm
on the side, I tried to force install the RPMS for RH-6. I think that almost
worked, but when I try to run Gnome, it complained about not finding
rep/lang/interpreter (I've had this error before, but can't remember what I
did to get past it).
If I can't compile, I want to find a distro which will be easy to get
Gnome-1.4 on it. The features I'm looking for, however are:
XFree4.0.2 (I have the binary tarballs, so I can use those if I must)
ReiserFS on install partition
kernel 2.4.2
KDE 2.1+
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Probably a tcpwrappers problem.
go to hosts.allow and hosts.deny and set up access to auth for whatever
config you want.
Just don't do an

explicitly set AUTH in there.
That should do it.

It wouldn't hurt to have more, but you should be able to get
started with 8MB, especially if you don't get heavily into X.

I think it's SCSI. There should be no problem going to at least 2GB.

Again, if the hard drive is SCSI, just add the CD-ROM to the chain.

The 3000 was available as the 3000UX, which came pre-packaged with
one of the first commercially-available releases of SVR4. You might
find some help in comp.unix.amiga or comp.os.linux.m68k.

Any external modem should work fine.

The other option is to keep your Amiga as is, and pick up an old
Intel box at a surplus store. You should be able to get a low-end
Pentium box for peanuts, and Linux will run quite happily on it.
Then network the two boxes together. I have two Amiga 2000s (I'm
posting this from one of them), a Wintel box, and a laptop running
Linux. The Amigas and Linux box are running Samba, and I'm merrily
transferring data back and forth all over the place.

Subject: Got these drivers, don't know what to do with 'em...
Date: 26 Mar 2001 15:52:58 -0500
Argh. Every time I think Linux has become admin-friendly, and then...
I have a controller card with some drivers. The drivers are for RH 7.0
(meaning kernel 2.2.16), and are binary-only. (I wish I had sources, but
even if I did I wouldn't know what to do with them because there's no #&!*^@
documentation... when will people learn?!)
Anyhow. When you boot the RH7 CD, and boot with "expert text", you are
asked if you have any additional drivers on a floppy you'd like to use. And
so I put these files on floppy, answer yes, and everything Just Works. I
assume that the filenames on the floppy are magically recognized, because I
certainly didn't tell it anything.
Now, at the end of this "expert text" installation, it creates a boot floppy
for me. That boot floppy is now the /only/ way to boot my system, since
it's the only place where these driver modules were copied. Not good.
I'd like very much to build a 2.4 kernel with these drivers compiled in.
I don't care if they're statically in the kernel, or dynamically loaded,
or whatever. (I love tinkering with things, but not these things right now
-- I just want the damn thing to work so I can get back to tinkering with
software.) But there are no instructions from the controller card company
on how to do this; they only write, "if you want to upgrade kernels, you will
need to build a new kernel against these modules." How does that happen?
Here's the list of filenames on the driver disk, FWIW:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 pme pme 76 Nov 10 12:41 modinfo
-rw-rw-rw- 1 pme pme 361642 Nov 10 12:39 modules.cgz
-rw-rw-rw- 1 pme pme 0 Jul 19 2000 modules.dep
-rw-rw-rw- 1 pme pme 0 Jul 19 2000 pcitable
-rw-rw-rw- 1 pme pme 3 Nov 10 12:39 rhdd-6.1
Do any of these names rings bells for anybody? Presumably I'm supposed to
put them somewhere in /usr/src/linux before building? Or not? Heck if I
know; I am not a Linux sysadmin...
Thanks for any tips.

It works, trust me. Microsoft makes it very difficult because they do
not cooperate with any other operating systems other than Microsoft
ones (ie, you can boot DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 98, Windows NT and
Windows 2000 from the Windows 2000 boot menu, but somehow they won't
include Linux support...).
RedHat 7 still uses the old lilo that cannot boot past the 1024
cylinder (if you feel spunky, you can download the 2 ISO images for
RedHat wolverine which includes the new lilo hacks for this
situation).
Your lilo.conf should look something like this: (and the Linux drive
should be Primary Master!) I don't know how you got to hdg, I doubt
you have 7 IDE drives...

Yes, Linux has always been running on that box. I'm using kernel 2.4.2. As
soon as the traffic on that machine gets lower, I'll try compiling the
kernel again just in order to have a look if any SIG11 problems occur.

Yes, with external cache I'm referring to the onboard cache in contrast to

The kenel recognizes 96972800 bytes (output of "total mem" with cat
/proc/meminfo). So all the memory that's installed is recognized. Right
now, with external cache turned off, the system runs really fine. I will
probably keep it turned off - most likely it's broken. I bought the board
of that machine secondhand and I really don't know how it was treated
before I bought it. If the cache is broken, however, is it possible that I
don't notice it with 24 MB installed, but only with 96 MB?
Greetings,
Nils
