Hi,

This is how the partition table looks like:

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 524 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       181   1453851   83  Linux
/dev/hda2           182       199    144585   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3           200       523   2602530    7  HPFS/NTFS

Please note that the disk was intended for dual boot wint Windows NT.
However, even when I tried LINUX only i had the same results.

RedHat 7.X does not install on machines with less than 16Mb RAM :(

I think, RedHat 6.X does though.

Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 18:30:45 +0100

I've been experimenting with Redhat 7 for a little while now, but I am a
very technically minded user and I am about to have a P100 drop off the
bottom of my home network a new machine arrives and all the others are
shunted down.

So, I want to really get to know Linux and I can't think of a better way
than to try and build a working system from the kernel up until it is
suitable for use as a local web server with apache, mySQL, PHP and co.

I'm looking for a little information before I start. Firstly, where to I
begin. I will have a system with an empty hard disk. I will also have a
machine connected to the net with floppies and a CD burner for transferring
larger files to the new machine so there is not a problem there, but what do
I start with?

I assume I will need an x86 binary distribution of a very basic kernel, bash
shell and ANSI compiler tools to actually make the system move (small /
basic is beautiful, I will compile up to date ones from source when I have a
basic system) as well as a boot disk with disk druid / fdisk (I don't mind
as the system will be clean. Nothing there to mess up...) and a formatter.

What have I missed? I have never tried this before and I am willing to put
time in. I also consider myself a highly competent computer user, though not
very experienced in Linux. The latter shouldn't matter, the point of the
exercise is to gain experience whether it works in the end or not...

Thanks in advance for help / hints. Rest assured you will hear from my again
as I progress :)

Cheers

Hmmm... I vaguely remember something about having to to do rpm

Man xinetd was sufficient for me last time. And yes, of course you can
use inetd instead.

I think gnome is flakey. My opinion only, of course. And it's no big

You mean passwds? I think that is roughly true. It's certainly
relatively hard because of encryption issues. You need the Samba HOWTO.

domain server? What do you mean? Are you talking about samba? a winbios
name server? What is a "network space"? users should be able to log
into your machine just fine, or mount samba "shares", once you get
passwd issues sorted. Once logged in they can use the modem, but what
would the yuse it for? If you have a dialup conection, then gateway
the windows machines through the linux one and set it to dial on
demand.

Nope. It hangs just milliseconds after I press Next, the screen does not
change a bit (except that it freezes of course).

I have also followed your instructions and found no errors in the rpm
checksums, all were reported OK. I ran the command against all rpm files
found on CD1.

Any other ideas anyone...?

Thanks,

Subject: Help needed with DHCP client setup (@home)
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 18:57:36 GMT

Hi,

Because of @home's constant re-configurations of their networks, I've been
forced to switch from a manually configured IP address to using DHCP..

I've been able to get this to work under windows, but I have not been
successful under Linux. All I get is "dhcpcd timed out"... and my eth0
interface refuses to come up.

I've read the mini DHCP client HOW-TO, but this is impossible to understand.
I'm still relatively new to all of the DHCP terminology (what the heck is
bootp, and this thing called pump???). I don't want to setup a DHCP server,
most of the documentation I've found so far seems to centre around this.

If anyone could help me out by letting me know what exactly needs to be done
(step-by-step, explain as you would an idiot).. or could point me to
somewhere where this information could be found, I would be eternally
grateful! I don't want to become a DHCP expert, I just want to setup my
machine's connectivity..

I would especially be interested in speaking with someone who's successfully
got everything running with the rogers@home service in Ontario (but in a
pinch, anyone with knowledge will do)!

I'm currently running RedHat 7.0 / ix86 architecture..

Win98 was easy to setup for this, I don't see why Linux is proving to be
such a dog in this area...??

Where are you installing LILO during installation, target partition

Red Hat includes a program, netconf, which should prompt you for DHCP or 
STATIC.  It is important that you sent your host name to the assigned node 
name given to you by the @Home network provider, i.e., cx55675-b

You can also get to its netowrk configuration running 'setup' at a command 
prompt.

If not successful, there are many online resources that discuss the DHCP 
client, just do a Google search with a keyword like 'dhcpcd' (the Linux 
DHCP client program).

Good luck!

Thanks,

I'll try netconf.. I did the Google thing for hours last night (that's how I
got all the confusing documentation which was telling me to edit scripts..
ick!). IMHO, this part of the configuration could use some work to make it
more user-friendly (of course, it's all part of solving the system-admin
problem)..

If you can think of anything else, let me know.. :)

This is very important. Call dhcp with the -h switch (dchp -h cx55675-b) to assign

With that small drive, forget about installing StarOffice.  I don't 
remember what it takes in Linux, but in Solaris the /usr/local/office52 
directory has 509342 bytes in it.  Larger drives are available cheaply.

The backspace/delete key problem is fixed in several ways depending on 
which terminal or console you are using.  For instance, with xterm, hold 
down the left Control key while depressing the left mouse button.  You get 
a menu; move the cursor to the Backarrow Key and release the mouse button.

For shrinking that e: drive in Windows, Partition Magick works without 
destroying the data that is in it.  Then you can use fdisk to add and type 
the new partition for Linux.  Then you will have to create a new fs on the 
partition and add it to your /etc/fstab.
