[newbies] grub or lilo setup for dual boot, http server config,ftp server config, php engine setup

[Ammon J Christiansen]

I already had winxp and I upgraded to rh9 after backing up all my 
personal files in rh8, but the boot loaders are looking on hd0 for winxp 
which is really on hd5.  I tried booting from rh9 cdrom #1 to change the 
boot loader config, but didn't install anything new so it said that it 
didn't change my boot loader because the kernel did not change.  How can 
I change the boot loader settings without changing kernels?  Can I run a 
command from linux or do I have to boot from the cd?

I want to set up my computer to be a http server with apache and so I 
can learn more about that and also teach myself php.  Could anyone give 
me a pointer on where to go (web docs) where it has instructions for 
beginners that don't need anything fancy?  

How can I set it up to be a ftp server?  

I'm concerned that since my roomate's winxp box serves a cable modem 
internet connection to the apt that outside people might not be able to 
get a connection through his (Norton) firewall.  Is that an issue or how 
does that work?

Is there a command to ask the dhcp server for a new ip address?  How can 
I find out my computer's ip address.  If I'm not plugged into the 
network at bootup it says that init of eth0 failed.  What command can I 
used to initialize it and get an ip address for internet connections or 
do I have to reboot?

Thanks for your help and support
