Hi there!
The biggest problem will be the duplicates of every possible application, and
the dependance of every distro on version/s of libraries.
What I have been doing:
Allocate for the "other distro" one big partition and let it install itself
as it wishes. (you have working distro which is divided by your requirements,
the other is "just curiosity").
Let "otherLILO" install itself on partition, it will have one choice only,
the kernel of this distro. Instruct the main LILO to call this one.
Usually the swap will be detected and used.
Once you stop playing and know which one is THE one, install it, partitioning
wisely.

Thanks to all who helped. I learned a lot about using vi. I will say I have a
lot to learn. I did manage to edit out the errant entries in file. I still
failed to boot to my GUI. Apparently something else went arry with the Qt
install. I reformatted and reinstalled and will stay with my system where it

hi all
i'm pretty new to linux so please help me out. i read that redhat is
offering optimised versions of 7.1 for different chips. does that mean
they're pre-compiled to say a PII (that's my machine)? i did checkout
redhat "webshop" but they don't offer any specilised/optimised version.
basically, just take the 7.1 and proceed to checkout. how can i get one

I am a newbie and I don't understand the FM at

Linux people seem to write as if everyone is already an expert user. I
think that sucks. I am trying to configure a pcmcia token ring card. That
Web site states to "edit /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-tr0 by hand as would be appropriate."
What the F does this mean? "As appropriate" for what? I simply have an
8228, which is ultimately connected to a Cisco 2501. WHAT IS WORSE is that
when I issue the command 'find /| grep ifcfg-tr0' I do not show that I have
this file.
Would someone please read the page at the aforementioned URL and see if you
could give me some guidance?

Hi, will someone clue me in to the secret magic of LILO? I've tried 2
separate (that is, on 2 different drives) installs of Linux, from CDs,
and the install on both looked good! But when I try to BOOT from the
drives I just installed from -- nothing! 1 install was Caldera Open
Linux v2.3. I get a message on boot that "Caldera is preparing to
load..." (close to the exact words) and that's where it stops. A
similar thing happens on the other drive, using slink-and-a-half of
Debian GNU Linux, only no cutsey message. On the debian I can boot with
the floppy, and see the drive (no windows, yet, just command line). I
don't even KNOW where to begin to fix the Caldera problem. I guess for
both it is a linux loading problem. The caldera went on a drive prep'd
with Partition/Boot Magic, and those apps say everything is fine. Boot
Magic sees all drives. Advice? Thanks.

Run "printtool" to configure the printer.
To configure the sound card.
"init 3"
and run "sndcconfig" or "setup" and choose soundconfiguration.

Well, since both the installation display the same problem, I think
that the problem is in the partitioning of the disk (the damned
1024 cylinder problem).
Check if the boot/root partition is BELOW the 1024 cyl. that is
in the first 8 Gb of the disk.

The two kernel files are necessary, the other files are support
files for LILO (one contains the original MBR, others contain
other information).

Ignore these files, leave them there, it won't do any harm.

If your CD is not recognized can be a problem in the controller, it's
an IDE one or SCSI ? A possible solution (if you have enough space) is
to copy the entire CD into the harddisk and then install from the
hard disk.
See the documentation of your distribution for compatibility.

I assume you're talking about the RedHat 2.2.19.
They simply let ip_masq_vpn patch out.
See
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36299
The solution is to download the patch you find for 2.2.18 here
http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html
Then revert the ipvs patch from the RedHat kernel and apply the
ip_masq_vpn patch

I think you have to setup the packet forwarding in the kernel and then
manage the two cards like you had a router.
See the NETWORK-HOWTO for configuring the routing.
Or remove completely the internal network card and use only one card.
I think that your kernel get confused when he see two network card
that act like 'default gateway'.

As this is part of the kernel configuration, I don't think you can avoid
recompiling the kernel, even if you just add a module. It's not that hard.
Read the kernel how-to.
Maybe it is enough to add the Apple Talk options in the kernel configuration
and just do a
make modules modules_install
but I would prefer to do a complete kernel recompile.

I would also propose to have a common /home partition. As of my
experience 4GB for a distro w/o /home should be enough, so you could
use a few MB for /boot (about 60MB to have same space for different
kernels), 8GB for the 2 distros, a few MB for /boot (here you have to
tweak lilo.conf a little bit after both distros are installed) and the
remainder for /home.
I would not propose to share other data like /var, /etc or /usr except
you really know what you are doing. I would mount the "other" distro
and use links for apps that can eventually be used by both
distros. But I can already foresee that you will not keep this setup
for long and after you are done testing both distros, you will go for
SuSE :)

Subject: Loadlin adds IRQ to network adapter BUT... (Windows must not win!)
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 10:15:38 +0200
Short summary of my previous problems:
- Win 98 reboot in DOS-mode, that means no real reset but kinda shell-
environment ('exit' takes you back to the GUI)
- calling up loadlin with parameters for the network adapter
- Linux does boot but the network adapter does not get an IRQ assigned
=> solved by a hint to a Suse-Database-entry by the programmer of
loadlin:
Win/Devicemanager/System komponents/PCI-Bus
- Settings: check 'use BIOS'
- IRQ-handling: uncheck 'use IRQ-handling'
>From that point on the network adapter gets assigned the IRQ 10 and I can
even ping myself BUT I can't reach the other machine in my network!
The routing table is exactly the same as the one I have when doing a real
reboot (without using Windows), so this can't be the reason. It seems
some problems with starting from the DOS shell still remain.
Being a Linux newbie I don't know what those messages could possibly mean

Hello everyone...
Firstly, I have compiled ~10 kernels in the past few months, and most of
them have worked :-), but I dont know what I'm doing wrong here...
I got the 2.4.3 tar.bz from kernel.org, and did the usual:
make menuconfig # loaded my 2.4.2 config and reviewed it, changing a
# few things
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install # after some lilo.conf editing...
one note, I read the README for the first time in a while and noticed it
said *not* to put the source in /usr/src which I had *always* done
before...and had done this time...so I moved it to /usr/kernel instead...
anyway, I compiled and wahtnot....rebooted the new kernel...and I get a
bunch of "cant find module" errors, and even some missing devices!
(namely eth0)
so...what the hell am I doing wrong? Im not supposed to select /dev fs
type am I? I dont think I had before (tis not the norm?).....how do I
update the modules so they can be found by modprobe?
sheesh, all of this cuz I wanna play a little gltron

You can make the point to the current kernel files, but I wouldn't bother.
Besides, I wouldn't remove the old entry from lilo.conf. Keep it around,
just in case your new kernel wont boot.

I walk through the next stuff.
PS. if you want to know what something is for, make a bootdisk(test it!) and
go with the Peter T. Breuer way: Just delete the file. :-)
If it doesn't boot, it was required.

Important things as FS and eth0... remember to add the right support
drivers, maybe configuration can be change if you migrate to a new kernel...
dont install vfat support as module... compile it IN the kernel... the same
goes for eth0... have you tried not to compile it as a module?.... also,
note the path and ln -s to the right path if possible....
Just some suggestions!
