Re: Running scripts from linux to modify image files on a windows2000 box
Make life simple. Go to the Gnu site and download the stuff for Windows. There is a small exe that you install, and it manages installing the rest. You will get a nice shell and many Unix commands into the bargain. Then, your scripting environment will be the same. Run the same scripts on Linux and Windows. I do this and am happy with the setup.

Re: RH and XP
You really don't have to have ide0 as your only connected IDE device when installing RH. However, I would just unplug the XP hard drive so there is no way you can damage it while installing RH on ide0. You can't (never say never) switch your drives back once you install RH on ide0. This is because lilo has installed the boot sector on ide0. If you switch drives after installing RH on ide0, the bios may not find the boot sector. However, getting ahead of ourselves, if you want to experiment, if you installed RH as IDE0, then switched cables with the XP and RH drives, and have a new bios, maybe you can tell the bios to make the 2nd hard drive your first boot device so it can find the boot sector on IDE1. I haven't tried that. That mapping trick in lilo.conf gives you a software switch of ide0 and ide1 when you boot XP. The kernel is not 7.2. That is the name of the redhat distribution. Regarding Net Llama's comment, if you want to learn linux, there is nothing wrong with using an older distribution. The newer distros are hiding more and more of the nuts and bolts from the user and are trying to be more and more windows like, in my limited experience, and are thus harder to fool with. For example, I cannot burn a new kernel with lindows, perhaps the most user friendly distro, because I cannot figure out (read: Won't spend the time.) how to use intrd.

So, you're saying I unplug my ide0, CD/RW and CD-ROM, and see if the Maxtor (current ide1) loads up alright on ide0?

Does LILO give the option of XP and RH at startup? Sorry for all the questions. I'm at that difficult spot between raw newbie and whatever the next level is.

And the RH manuals are quite good for the most part. But 98% of the stuff in the in the older manuals will still apply and the rest can be gleaned from the online RH docs.

Now, since I know nothing of scripting in W2K but a lot about scripting in linux, would it be possible to mount the appropriate W2K directories on the linux box, and run the editing commands in linux, even though the files are stored on the W2K box? It sounds quite reasonable, but, I have never tried this, I don't use windows, and would like to know if this would in fact be workable.

Re: Zaire still won't connect
I don't have pilot-link. Do I need it? I downloaded Ximian Evolution. It won't work with the palm because I need some gnome tools. Grrr Oh well, I will just have to not use my palm for a few months/years longer. I am getting fond of pcal. I will not bother with this problem anymore. I have at least 30 hours of my time invested, all wasted. I'll skip my usual rant. Not worth it. But, its worth noting in passing that linux developers wrote devfs without getting any input from me. I would have told them to make all handhelds plug and play with linux before they fix something that wasn't broken. That is, if they are serious about getting linux on the desktop, which apparently they are not. I would never recommend linux to the average user because of shortcomings like this. This is a show stopper. It is hard not to get the impression that linux is a place where adolescents like to play. For example, going though the warehouse at Lindows, I noted that there were pages of mp3 players and cd rippers. But, there are only two office suites.

Re: Zaire still won't connect
Depending on the distro you are using Ximian has a thing call red carpet, an updater gui. It keeps gnome/evolution udated and also the distro itself. I used it in the past and pilot-link was one of the things it installed. When I installed evolution on a RH7.3 I did not install gnome anything on the initial install and when I put in evolution had all sorts of troubles until I used red carpet, then magic presto, all problems with evo were gone.

Re: Zaire still won't connect
I'd be shocked if red carpet actually worked by default on Lindows, since it would be a direct competitor with their PoS software warehouse.

Joel Hammer wrote: Don't linux advocates get worried ? Bill Gates must sleep well at night. Joel I will admit that Open Source is not as user-friendly as more commercial efforts, and lately, in the rush to catch-up, I find that more and more Open Source software that is released is buggy or requires considerable effort to get it to work as advertised (which is why I'm actually considering downgrading from Red Hat 9 to TurboLinux 8, and from KDE3 to xfce). I think that, for people living in more prosperous countries or more prosperous circumstances, there really isn't much that OSS can offer. But for some people in Asia, OSS is the most responsible way to go. Consider this scenario : You live on an island somewhere in the Pacific, or a small town in a Third World country, and you're working on an IT project, possibly building the first ISP there, or trying to wire up a small branch office for a larger company. You install some commercial software that should help you get a job done, for example, a RADIUS server or maybe a database. You hit problems either with performance or even at the installation stage. What do you do ? If you call for support from the USA, you'll normally be on wait list, and you'll definitely miss your deadline or become an embarrassment to colleagues and management. You can try contacting the local support, which you would be *very lucky* if he half understands your problem. The local office will probably also tell you that the reason why you're not getting a response is because your region contributes less than 1% to the revenue hence your request is very low priority. I have seen this happen to me every year of my 10 years in this business. The *only time* I have seen prompt response from the vendor is when you are willing to pay to fly a consultant in to fix a problem with the software -- which should be working in the first place. Open Source gives you 2 options : 1. If you have some programming background you can dig around in the code, and try to fix it yourself 2. You can post your question to a mailing list that actually cares about your problems, and maybe get a fix, or at least share the pain. With commercial software, all you can do, if you have no budget and no time, is to sit with your ass hanging in the breeze (pardon my French), and wait for the axe to fall. Not a very attractive proposition if you do have programming skills and can fix the problem yourself. Which is not to say that your concerns are not valid. If I have an opportunity to work in the US, and can make enough to actually buy a Palm (and a house and a car and plan for my retirement), I would probably say goodbye to Open Source as well. If I can get vendors to respond to my problems in a quick and timely manner, I would gladly pay money for commercial software.

Re: Zaire still won't connect
Well, point taken. As I recall, I did have pilot-link before I upgraded lindows, which had to be done so the visor and other modules would work with the PDA. My original problem was my kernel was a tiny bit premature to talk properly to the palm over usb. Not that the kernel said so, it just was so. Since pilot-link is essential, you would think that jpilot or kpilot, both of which I tried, would have detected the lack of this item and complained about it. The documentation may point this out. It is a shame their software doesn't when it runs. I guess somebody saved themselves some time when they coded jpilot. If they were a profit making company, they would not have shrugged and said let them read the documentation. I have had enuf of trying to make this thing work. I think I am just getting to the end of my rope with some of this nonsense. There comes a time when you have to ask yourself, why I am having to do so much work to get something very simple to work? The answer in this case is linux. Joel Jul 12, 2003 at 07:47:33PM -0700, Net Llama! wrote: On 07/12/03 18:36, Joel Hammer wrote: I don't have pilot-link. Do I need it?
