Re: [expert] Re: DNS problems on 9.0
use VI, but go to the end of lines, delete the control characters... As far as I remember you cant use CR+LF, just CR. VI does only CR, some editors put CR+LF (DOS EDIT.COM style) and it cause some erros in *NIX control files. orlando Jim C wrote: > > Uh, oh. Actually I have.

just to be sure, have you tried do edit that file using VI? bind is (or used to be...) somewhat picky about control characters at the end of lines.

[expert] SPARC Mandrake 7.1/corporate fails during install on Sun Ultra30
Hello! I'm trying to install LM (7.1 or corporate 1.0) on a SUn Ultra 30 workstation that we didn't use anymore. The cd boots ok (I'm using STOP+A to acces the open boot prom, then "boot cdrom" at the "ok" prompt), I select keyboard, mouse, disk partitioning, but when the packages are supposed to be installed I get an error (hdlist not valid)... I´ve checked the image files checksums before burning them on a CD and they were ok, I´ve tried with 3 different disks (2 LM 7.1 and 1 Corporate 1.0)... Someone in the list is using a SPARC Ultra 30??? TIA orlando -- ,~~v~~,,~~v~~, ,'. .', ,'. .', === + ====== + === / ~ \ / ~ \ /\_m m_/\/\_m m_/\ .\ +--+ /. / !

Re: [expert] Linux Domain Evangelism
Since it's a network share your boss will see a shared drive icon, you don't have to worry about that. To map it during logon you should use a logon script that'll have a line with something like: NET USE \\server\studentname password I don't know if you want to put the password in the script or if the student should type it. For security, the student should type... so, in this case, remove the password field. I think that are ways to pass the password and username or to "read" these parameters from the windows logon box... I don't have much details to do this, since I don't use windows share like you intend to do. By the way... when the student log off, you can run another scrip that will be something like NET USE * /DELETE it will break all shared network connections that you have made after logon.

Re: [expert] Linux Domain Evangelism
I think it's easier than you think... can't you mount samba with each directory (/home/studentname) with a user/password? So, the directory is always mounted, but only the student that is the owner will have access to it, when logged...

Configure your cisco router with the following:
no logging buffered <-- logs to server rather than in memory
logging trap debugging <-- sets level of events to log (debugging = all)
logging facility local6 <-- sets facility
logging 192.168.1.123 <-- logs to host 192.168.1.123
Then, in your syslog host:
/etc/syslog.conf:
# Cisco logging
local6.* /var/log/cisco <-- I use /home/logs/RouterLog
to avoid filling /var
Forgot to mention that the above log file must exit before restarting the
daemon; can be created with: touch /var/log/cisco (assuming that's the name you
used in syslog.conf...
Note: localN in cisco must match localN in syslog.conf
Make sure syslogd is installed; then in /etc/init.d/syslog's start section:
daemon syslogd -m 0 -r
^^ add this or it won't work.
Restart syslogd with: service syslog restart

Re: [expert] NFS and DHCP
I think that you can do this... moe's machine has two ip's... one static (NIC), one dynamic (modem ppp dial-up)... joe's ip is static (NIC) and at the same network that moe's NIC.

Re: [expert] NFS and DHCP
I think that the easiest way to do NFS in a network with DHCP is to set-up the MAC address of the NFS server to receive always the same ip-address... This way, you can use the same /etc/exports file and, since the NFS server receive it's ip address from the DHCP server, you don't have to worry if you set up a fixed address in the NFS server and somebody getting that ip...

Re: [expert] HP Scanjet 3200C parallel scanner
There is a "scanner how-to" or something like that. The problem is that the HP3200C isn't a HP product, it's a cheap scanner made in the far-east with a HP logo on it and, at least at the last time that I researched how to set up one of these scanners in Linux (about six months ago...

[expert] [Fwd: [Fwd: joystick driver under Mandrake Linux 8.0]]
I had a few problems when I installed my joystick sometime ago... here is what I did and a link to a webpage with a good doc about it. How as I can remember, the last step (5-insmod analog) is where you define your joystick type. "analog" is a basic joystick, now I'm using "gravis" or "grip", I can't remeber, as my joystick is a gravis xterminator.

Re: [expert] DHCP configuration to improve detection ondynamic IP
A wild guess, since I don't use DHCP: It seems that the problem is at the DHCP server in the ISP, since Win machines detect the name server immediately and Linux don't maybe (as I said, it's just a guess :-) the DHCP server gives the names as win network name, not as a FQDN. I read in older messages that some users used a win box to connect a first time, noted the name that was assigned by the DHCP server and then connect with Linux and put the hostname by hand (the ip address, netmask, etc, was being recognized).

[expert] supermount from hell... there is a new supermount module working?
hello! I'm aware of the bugs with supermount and LM8.x. But I think that I found a side effect on that bug. I'm using a LM8.1 server as mail server (Postfix) and as a webmail server (using Neomail as a front-end for Postfix). By the way I was using LM Corporate Server in that machine and did an upgrade to 8.1 and, as usual, everything_was_working_OK_before_TM. After the upgrade and a few modifications, everything was OK again. Only the bug with supermount that would close X if I tried to open the CD-ROM when the tray was empty, or a seg-fault in console if I did a find and there wasn't a CD-ROM on the tray (99% of the time the tray was empty :-) Today somebody complained that the webmail wasn't working and I started some tests, verified file permissions, etc. I was looking the syslog files and tried to open the webmail, received an error 500 screen that generated that log at /var/log/httpd/error_log: [Wed Jan 9 13:53:56 2002] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/neomail.pl And each time that error was generated I got that error at /var/log/syslog: Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: invalid operand: Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: CPU:0 Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: EIP: 0010:[af_packet:__insmod_af_packet_O/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/net/pac+-136050/96] Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: EIP:0010:[] Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: EFLAGS: 00010286 Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: eax: 001b ebx: df679420 ecx: c025dddc edx: bb2c Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: esi: edi: df812000 ebp: ff85 esp: d16f9ec4 Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: Process sperl5.6.1 (pid: 21877, stackpage=d16f9000) Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: Stack: e086f5ae 0112 c013bf4c df35dee0 0009 df477420 e086f4c1 Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel:e086f4cb e086f4d5 0286 df477420 b240 df4b5440 e086f07f Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel:df812000 0292 c188fd40 c188fd40 dedbd000 b218 c013c3eb Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: Call Trace: [af_packet:__insmod_af_packet_O/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/net/pac+-92754/96] [path_walk+1740/1968] [af_packet:__insmod_af_packet_O/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/net/pac+-92991/96] [af_packet:__insmod_af_packet_O/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/net/pac+-92981/96] [af_packet:__insmod_af_packet_O/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/net/pac+-92971/96] Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: Call Trace: [] [] [] [] [] Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: [af_packet:__insmod_af_packet_O/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/net/pac+-94081/96] [__user_walk+75/96] [vfs_stat+98/144] [sys_stat64+17/48] [error_code+56/64] [system_call+51/64] Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel:[] [] [] [] [] [] Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: Jan 9 13:53:56 hamster kernel: Code: 0f 0b 59 5e 57 e8 d8 f9 ff ff 85 c0 89 44 24 04 5a 74 4f 80 And a shady memory told me that I saw that message before when I did a find without a CD-ROM...

Re: [expert] Log in remotely without logging in locally
I think that you can't. You can do this with X since the local machine is the server, so you do a login "bacwards". Telnet, rsh, ssh... are clients... and if you are running a client you already logged somewhere... If you create a user that automatically connect to the remote machine (via user's startup scripts) isn't acceptable??? orlando Marc wrote: > > maybe it is possible to configure one of your virtual consoles as a login > screen on the remote machine.

[expert] broken XFree
Hi! I did it... :-( I was using the LM Corporate Server 1.0. I had a problem sometime ago and I couldn't start the x-server (the famous Unix font path=-1). So I thought that upgrading from LMCS 1.0 to LM Pro Suite 8.1 the install would fix this problem (besides some usefull upgrades, like RPM4, xinetd, etc). Now I still without x, the same error: failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1' could not open default font 'fixed' Any ideas??? I am tempted do uninstall all Xfree stuff... there is a "force" method that let me do this? RPM complains can't remove XFreexxx cause it is needed by another application... or it is a dependence...

Re: [expert] Please help me get rid of windoze!
I don't think that you have any dependency on linux to get you notebook showing images in the projector. Most (all?) notebooks have a function (Fn) key and a key in the numeric row with a monitor-like figure. Press Fn+monitor and the notebook start to display on the LCD or on the external device (a monitor, datashow or projector) or both. And I think that the same happens with the TV-out.

Re: [expert] Network problem
hello wolfgang! I've been reading your posts about your network for a few days... great problem! that is one of these that we write on the notepad to never forget what we did :-) let's go... since arp -a gives nothing, then you have no connection, but each piece in your setup (cross-cable, notebook's nic, desktop's nic) works ok when used with the adsl (your Internet connection is trough an adsl, as I remember) or when tested with other computer I have just one opinion: by means of some power of darkness, when you connect both nics trough the cross-cable you are are shutting the electrical signals to a very low level, that isn't enough to keep the network connection. this don't happen with the adsl box... and probably wouldn't happen with a switch or a hub... why this happen? probably the notebook's nic is of poor quality... or you just run out of luck :-) orlando Wolfgang Bornath wrote: > > Am Dienstag, 27.

Re: [expert] How to convert
you don't need to convert it... Burn the .iso file to a blank CD-ROM. In your favorite CD burner manager choose something like "burn image" or "burn iso file" and select the .iso file thta you downloaded. By the way, before burning check that the download was ok. You should take the MD5 checksum of your file and compare it with the MD5sum file that should be found at the same location that you downloaded the .iso.

It´s easier than that... in one network interface do you have the DHCP address that you've got from Road Runner, the other network interface you should have a private address (something like 192.168.0.1) and the other computers you should config 192.168.0.1 as the gateway and the network address as 192.168.0.2. orlando > "George Jones (IT)" wrote: > > I have Comcast Road Runner cable.

[expert] problems with /mnt under kde (segfault)
Hi! When I try to open the /mnt dir under kde using any of the graphics file-tools (konqueror, XFMC, etc) the application closes, when I close X I can see the message that the application segfaulted... Someone have seen this?? By the way, in the prompt I can view /mnt. The problem happens either as user or as root.

[expert] DOSEMU and other DOS emulators...do they play demos???
Hi! Does anybody know if (and, if := yes, how) can I play demos under DOSEMU or any other DOS emulators? Some older demos required a clean boot (some even needed a boot without himem.sys) without any memory managers like emm386 or qemm386. TIA orlando ps: for all the poor souls that don't know what a demo is, look at http://www.oldskool.org/demos/explained/ IMHO a demo is the finest in the art of coding... Look for Final Reality II and remember that all what you'll watch is being done real-time and that around '93 the average joe machine was a 386, 40MHz...

Re: [expert] cable modem question
I've read sometime ago about the @home setup that gives a computer name and the changes needed in Linux to accept that config. Since I live in Brazil I hadn't that message archived, but you can find it in the web archives. About your friend setup: is possible to enable a network to use the same link. Set the first machine with the needed setup to work with at home. That same machine should be configured as a proxy for the network, so it should have two network cards, one with the ip address for @home, the other with an address for the house network. The other machines will use the first machine as a gateway. HTH orlando Todd Zashin wrote: > I saw some communication regarding cable modems and I wanted to chime in > with a question I have.

[expert] Importing Oracle SQL scripts into MySQL
Hello! I need some help/advice regarding databases. At college we are using Oracle 8i as server for our DB lab classes. The teacher give us some exercises, that I can only do at classes, since I don't have Oracle at home. I tried the Oracle 8i personal edition. Horrible... 600M of disk space, slow... I´m trying now MySQL that is already working. The problem is: to do the exercices at home, I need a demo DB that comes with Oracle (a script named something like BDEDEMO.SQL), but I can't import that script to MySQL, seems that the clauses are a little different and since I don't have any expertise with DB I don't know what to do. Does anybody knows some tool to import/transform an Oracle dump script into a MySQL dump script???

Re: [expert] Syntax Question for '192.168.0.0/24'
The /24 means the bits used in the subnet mask. Translating to english: a class C address is something like 200.234.123.9 255.255.255.0. Let's convert the subnet from decimal to binary: 255.255.255.0 ===> ... How many 1's ??? 24... You got it?? By the way... to inform to a host to look to all addresses at a specific class the proper maner is to indicate it as you looked in the example, with a "0", that means "all range of addresses in that field". orlando Sevatio wrote: > I've got a syntax question.

Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: Re: [expert] logrotate and syslog]]
Hi Joe! I looked at the archives, but the bug was about a "*" in the logrotate.conf files, that caused already rotated files to be re-compressed and re-rotated... I still have to "service syslog restart" manually to restart the syslog after a logrotate. I think I should have some way to put that command in the end of my logrotate.conf, but it seems that I can't put commands on it. only commands that describe how it works (rotate, compress, etc).

[expert] logrotate and syslog
Hi! I have a doubt... I'm using a LM7.2 machine to store log from some Cisco routers in my network. I observed that the logs weren't being rotated nor compressed. So I read the man pages and changed the /etc/logrotate.conf, so now the Cisco log files are rotated and compressed. The new problem: when the logs are rotated by logrotate the syslog service stops... or at least the part of syslog that should take care of my Cisco's logs. Then I have to manually start syslog using the "service syslog restart" command. Has anybody had the same problem? Knows how to solve???

[expert] KPanel woes...
Hi! I was trying new configurations for my Kdesktop and ended messing witk the Ktaskbar... what I did: KPanel-> Configure Panel-> Add-> Applet -> and added two utilities, that I don't know how to name here since my LM8 is installed in portuguese :-) These apps are annoyng me... one has a yellow "smiley" face (it's named APPLET PROXY in english, I think) and the other is a small text box that launches a Google search in Konqueror whenever I write something in it... I can't get rid of them! Their position in the Applet menu is check-marked and greyed now, so I can't unmark them! Any help? And any help in how to stop the "greying" of checked boxes, so I can add and remove applets whenever I want? TIA orlando
[expert] logrotate doesn't compress logs
Hi!
I was configuring some routers to log onto my LM box. That was ok, thanks to
Pierre Fortin.
Then I realized that my logs weren´t being rotated... so was being overwhelmed
by the file sizes... I read how to configure logrotate to do this and now it
works too... but the rotated files aren't being compressed...
in the last lines of /etc/logrotate.conf I did:
...
# system-specific logs may be configured here
# rotacao dos logs do C7513FSPO01
errors root
compress
/var/log/cisco/7513-1 {
weekly
create 0644 root root
rotate 24
}
and I tried also:
# system-specific logs may be configured here
# rotacao dos logs do C7513FSPO01
errors root
/var/log/cisco/7513-1 {
weekly
compress
create 0644 root root
rotate 24
}
and tried:
# system-specific logs may be configured here
# rotacao dos logs do C7513FSPO01
errors root
/var/log/cisco/7513-1 {
weekly
create 0644 root root
compress
rotate 24
}
so... what is going on??? I know that is the correct file since any router that
I include is logged and rotated... but I don't understand why the rotated files
aren't compressed... no error message is displayed or logged... any ideas???
TIA
orlando

Hello Pierre! Netflow works only under Solaris... maybe under HPUX...

[expert] foreign keyboards and languages in X
Hello! I want to know if there is a easy way to configure keyboards in KDE. By easy I mean without xmodmaps... I have two types ok keyboards: a MS Natural and a Brazilian ABNT2 type I want to configure KDE to use these keyboards so I can use characters like ã, é, á, ç... The MS keyboard is the same as the american model, so (in windows) to type a "ç" I press the "´" key before the "c" key, the ABNT2 have a "ç" key, but to type "ã" I have to press "~" and then "a" in both of them... If there is no easy way, there is some site where can I get ready made xmodmaps? :-) Any help? TIA -- ,~~v~~,,~~v~~, ,'. .', ,'. .', === + ====== + === / ~ \ / ~ \ /\_m m_/\/\_m m_/\ .\ +--+ /. / !

[expert] CD-ROM messing Linux during initialization... long post...
Hello!
Here we go again... regarding a change off boot devices that I was
trying to do, I started with that setup (I'm using LM8, Linux LM8 is
kernel 2.4.2-20mdk):
/dev/hda (master at IDE0) : 40G Quantum HD, with Win98
/dev/hdb (slave at IDE0) : 4.3 WD HD, with Linux LM8 - ReiserFS
/dev/hdc (master at IDE1) : Creative Labs CD-ROM CDRW 4224
What I wanted (Quantum is ATA 100, WD is ATA33, is slowing my
performance a little):
/dev/hda (master at IDE0) : 40G Quantum HD, with Win98
/dev/hdc (master at IDE1) : 4.3 WD HD, with Linux - ReiserFS
/dev/hdd (slave at IDE1) : Creative Labs CD-ROM CDRW 4224
I had lots of problems when (trying to) changing these devices... erros,
messages of CRC errors... until I noted that when the CD-ROM wasn't
connected at the same IDE that the Linux HD, the system worked...
Is this a bug? If it is... is from Linux, or from ReiserFS? Can be
corrected? Below are some lines from /var/log/message (relevant parts
are marked with * below the line of the error):

By the way... how can I change this??? I want to put my IDE at 66MHz...

Re: [expert] Networking Expert needed!
bob, you set T1 ISP as your default and your replys from ping to the DSL ISP comes from the T1? like that: ping DSP-ISP reply (coming from T1-ISP) xxx ms ??? well... if this is the behaviour... the error is your side :-) the reply from a ping returns from the same interface that sent it... so if the answer comes from T1 ISP, the request was sent from that interface... try adding a static route including your DSL ISP... something like ip route 64.65.0.0 255.225.0.0 64.65.206.162 the example was given using the same sintax as cisco routers (I don't remember the linux's way... and right now I'm running a windoze box...

[expert] How Mandrake Install detect partitions???
I'm trying to move my HD where LM8 is installed from /dev/hdb to
/dev/hdc and my CD-ROM from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd without succes, until
now...
I only managed to move my CD-ROM from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd, doing this:
I removed the CD-ROM from master at IDE interface 2 (IDE1) and installed
it as slave ate IDE1 and started the LM8 install CD, chose Upgrade,
added some small package (just to be sure that some change had to be
written) and proceded the install until the end.
When I restarted the computer Linux recognized that the CD-ROM was the
/dev/hdd device (in windows it works ok too).
I thought that since /dev/hdc was free now, I could use the same
approach to move my HD from /dev/hdb (slave at IDE0) to /dev/hdc (master
at IDE1).
When I start the install, chose Upgrade, language, keyboard, mouse ok,
but when the system starts to look for my drives there is an error
message ("Ooops, no root partition") and ir repeats itself if I try to
look for my drives again.
If I start a NEW INSTALL, the drive is found and the partitions are
found (/, SWAP and /home) and recognized as using ReiserFS.
So that's my doubt: how the LM8 install detects the root partition? If
it is found when the HD is in it's current location (/dev/hdb) why it's
isn't found when I move the drive to the new position (/dev/hdc)???
It's driving me nuts!
Re: [expert] Unknown partiton table
david, it seems that your new(?) HD hasn't been formated and doesn't have any partition created (as a new drive should be). Try to use fdisk to create some partition or file-system to make the system happy and let you add your drive. orlando David C.

[expert] is Postfix "RETURN RECEIPT" capable???
Hello! At my company we are using Postfix as our mailer system. I've noticed other day that messages sent with the "RETURN RECEIPT" option to our domain give the following answer to the sender: - The following addresses had successful delivery notifications - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (relayed to non-DSN-aware mailer) - Transcript of session follows - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... relayed; expect no further notifications and if I try to send a message with the "RETURN RECEIPT" option I get the following error: " Your SMTP server does not support the return receipt function so your message will be sent without the return receipt request." So Postfix isn't capable of doing return receipts? Or is it some option that I have to configure??? There is somebody using Postix with the option of return receipts.

I was thinking... a different approach... see what do you think: 1- I copy my fstab and lilo.conf to somewhere... to save my current setup that is: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdb is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (linux) /dev/hdc is the cd-rom and master at IDE interface 2 2- Do the following: leave /dev/hda where it is (as boot device and windows drive), remove /dev/hdb (my linux drive) from the system, install my spare HD (the 600M one) as /dev/hdc and install my cdrom as /dev/hdd and now I have this: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdc is a 600M HD and master at IDE interface 2 (linux) /dev/hdd is the cd-rom and slave at IDE interface 2 3- Do a small linux install in /dev/hdc using the same partioning system that I had in my removed HD (the same partitions and filesystem type -reiserfs-) 4- after the install I copy the new fstab and lilo.conf 5- do a boot floppy, that will say "hey, you can boot windows as default in /dev/hda or ypu can boot linux in /dev/hdc" 6-shutdown the system... remove spare HD, install my linux HD in its place 7- do a boot using the floppy... now I can (I can? I hope so... :-)) access my linux drive again... 8- I overwrite the olders fstab and lilo.conf with the newer ones... 9- Happy ending, now I have: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdc is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and master at IDE interface 2 (linux) /dev/hdd is the cd-rom and slave at IDE interface 2 What do you think?

Re: [expert] changing boot devices
I hadn´t expressed myself correctly!! What I did: removed the CD-ROM and changed the HD, so it didn't boot up... Now I undestood waht you said... I had to put a small HD in the place of the CD-ROM and don´t make any changes... right? The drive where I have enough free space for a backup is my /dev/hda... it's a 40G IDE. About boot floppies... can I make a boot floppy and edit the fstab in the floppy disk? I even tried to do this, but when I do "cd /mnt/floppy" there is an error message like "couldn't read media"... it´s because /mnt/floppy uses the ms-dos file system mount??? How to mount and read a lilo boot floppy?? And that message : > > == begin error message = > > > > VFS Can not open root device "341" or 03:41 > > Please append a correct "root" boot option > > > > end error message = what is that "root device "341" or 03:41" ??? I don't have any reference in fstab or lilo.conf to a device 341...

I tried to boot without the CD-ROM, but it hanged the same way... after the error message (...Please append a correct "root" boot option...) the machine hangs up... I was thinking about changing the fstab BEFORE changing the drives... but I fear that I can end with a system that doesn´t boot anyway... I´ll study more about your solution... but what I know is that my only spare drive is a small 600MB...

Re: [expert] changing boot devices
Tom, before I try this (that sounds easy :-) ), do you really think that a expert/upgrade install will make all the changes? Since my fstab, lilo.conf and whatever conf file that may be involved with the boot-up process has references to the "old" setup, the upgrade install will read these values and correct them??? By the way... I forgot to say that I have enough free space to make a partition to back-up my entire linux system... maube ghost would make these changes???

[expert] changing boot devices
Well, I think that is a good one... I have a LM8 install in a machine with 2 ide drives (/dev/hda and /dev/hdb) and a ide cd-rom writer (/dev/hdc).with dual boot for win98 and linux They work like this now: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdb is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and slave at IDE interface 1 (linux) /dev/hdc is the cd-rom and master at IDE interface 2 Why I want to change this, if all works fine ? Well, since /dev/hda is a UDMA 100 HD and /dev/hdb is a UDMA 33 HD the interface IDE1 works only at UDMA 33 performance... so to squeeze a little more performance from my system I want to do this: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdc is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and master at IDE interface 2 (linux) /dev/hdd is the cd-rom and slave at IDE interface 2 I've tried to change the cables but I had no succes... linux wouldn't boot, failing with that message: == begin error message = VFS Can not open root device "341" or 03:41 Please append a correct "root" boot option end error message = I tried then use a floppy drive for booting and passing the parameter "linux= boot /dev/hdc" and I've had the same error message again. So I returned the old configuration and I'm looking for some help now... I think that the main consideration is: how the links that I use in X and in the command line will work after this? A link is a reference to a file or to a device and a file??? How I change references about /dev/cdrom? CD players and burners and file system will fail to find it... what files/configs I have to change? I'm using Reiser FS, by the way.

Re: [expert] OPENGL LM8
What drivers are you using? I had problems before with OpenGL apps before (gears, TuxRacer, BZ flag, morph...). I could solve these problems downloading the NVidia driver version and following that tutorial: http://www.evil3d.net/articles/linux/howto/nvidia/mandrake7x/ observations: the tutorial is for LM 7x, but works well for LM 8.0, the driver version in the tutorial is 0969, the last version at Nvidia's site is 1251, get the drivers that are under the label "Systems which do not use RPMS for package management" (the tar-ball)... I think that you'll have success... don't forget to activate AGP support after the install... orlando "Scott D. Pham" wrote: > > IT seems that OpenGL Doens't work in KDE.

Re: [expert] diplay resolution
ben, it's a limitation from the notebook's display! every notebook when in graphical mode (windows or X) goes to full screen, but in text mode (console or DOS prompt) it uses a lower resolution. do that test: if you have windows in that notebook, go to the DOS prompt and goes to full screen (ALT-ENTER) and do a "DIR C:\WINDOWS /W /P" ... you'll see that the text occupies only a square inside the screen...or try it with a boot diskete... In notebooks that go 800x600 that square is 640x480... and goes on... hope it helps... orlando Brian Hartman wrote: > On 10 Jun 2001 14:38:13 -0700, ben shahbaz wrote: > > > I might be wrong, but I don't think you can.
