Okay... the fog has finally lifted a bit. I originally thought you were saying that four installation images were necessary in order to start to install Mandrake. Now I think I'm understanding that there are 4 installation image files, and depending on which method of installation you choose, you use the one installation image that is appropriate for that installation method. >>Going backwards (not sure if "'pcmcia devices'" and "neworked" are >>referring to the same process): >> >>4 and/or 3:I have a Xircom combo card with networking I've justgotten >>running in Windows.

But if you have >dosnetwork drivers, you could copy to a dos partition over the network and >then install. Okay... let's skip this one. I sure don't have access to any Linux network. Going back to where you wrote: >>>..to expect the installation data on either CD, HD, another computer >>>(networked) and the last one is for 'pcmcia devices'. I guess there was a distiction between when you said there are 4 image files "that will expect the installation data on either CD, HD, another computer (networked) and the last one is for 'pcmcia devices'", you were saying that 'pcmcia devices' was the 4th installation method. I was thinking that a net card was a pcmcia device, and was lumping them together as one method. Not that it'll help me, but out of my innate curiousity (I accidently drop and broke my brother's skylight cover last year because I took it off wanting to see how it was all constructed ... I bought him a clear replacement for the broken white translucent original, and ended up brightening things up... accidents can be helpful sometimes... but obviously costly in this case) where was I Sigmund?? Oh... I'm curious as to what a Mandrake installation via 'pcmcia devices' would be. The net card and CD-ROMs are 'pcmcia devices' aren't they? Is there something I'm missing that differentiates 'pcmcia devices' from a CD-ROM and a net card? >>>If you can't boot from the CD, you make a boot disk with one of >>>these >>>and let it get on with it. OH... I was thinking you were talking about 4 different 650MB CD image files... But you're saying there are 4 1.44MB installation files you can boot off of. Lets see... can I blame my not getting this on dyslexia? I understand installing this way via having the rest of the Mandrake files on the HDD, but the other 3 options mean getting drivers set up on the FD that will drive your CD-ROM drive, network card, or 'pcmcia devices', whatever that may be... and finding and setting up Linux files without a Linux based computer sounds daunting. >>2: I guess from what you wrote about a L70 crashing trying to install from >>its HDD, this is out... unless I decide to keep my old L50 a while longer >>and use it for Linux (Just hate to part with my first Libby love!) > >Bingo! > >o Somehow, get the entire mandrake CD onto the drive. >o Put the drive in the 50 >o Rawrite the HD image and boot from it 'text' mode >o Complete the installation on the 50 >o Pull the drive and stuff into the 70. > >Sorted... Heh... except for the last step...

If I boot from a floppy with rawrite, how am I going to then install from a CD with the image, if I''ve got the FDD plugged in? I was thinking I could (though Neil's and others suggestion of putting the HDD in a desktop and booting it sounds like the best bet) copy the Linux boot disk over the Lib's HDD, copy CD-ROM drivers to the HDD, remove the FDD, and boot from the HDD with CD-ROM support. But wouldn't I have to format a partition on the Libs HDD for Linux in order to copy the Linux boot files and rawrite over to it? And wouldn't getting Linux drivers to operate the CD-ROM drive be a real task? Or am I just getting way off from what you were suggesting?

See eg http://www.cert.org/incident_notes/IN-2000-07.html which says, in part: Windows operating systems contain an option to "Hide file extensions for known file types"... After disabling this option, there are still some file extensions that, by default, will continue to remain hidden from the user... One such extension, ".SHS", is associated with Shell Scrap Object files...and can include executable contents. and http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.stages.a.html which describes an mIRC-based worm that exploits the above.

Yes, jpeg is an image compression method and .jpg is the extension commonly given to the jpeg compressed files. The decompress of the jpeg file only happens with the help of JPeg capable programs like browser and photo editing software. You do not execute the jpeg file because you can't. However, it is possible for someone to rename an executable file into something like vir.jpg or vir.bmp. And in normal cause, this will not cause any problem in Windows as Windows will check file extension and load the photo editing software to load the file and display some error message since it is not a jpeg file. However, in the native Windows API calls, you can let Windows execute any file regardless the file extension as long as the format of the file is that of the windows executable file (or called PE format).

The jpg is a compression from not just an ext. when you execute the JPG it decompresses..

Mind you he asked me to make sure people cant send anything but pics.. Yes he was a little bit of a perv. So I blocked everything cept *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg, *.TIF everything else was blocked and no prompt. Someone told him he had a torj. So I did a little looking.. Looked at his log files.. Only seen jpg and a couple bmp's and well found the virii cleared it out. Then opened each file until I found the offending one.

Believe the 2.0.34, 2.1.90 and higher versions of Linux support large HDs directly, but you've got additional problems present that were only fixed with the 2.3.21+ versions of Linux. (geometry translation problems such as that created by EZ-Drive with older BIOSs & Linux) See nice Linux Large HD faq: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk.html Looks like you'll either have to move onto a newer Linux that has a 2.3.21+ kernel and/or create a small Linux /boot partition <8.4GB to let it load Linux's own large HD drivers.

Re: [LIB] List problem?
Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 11:39:57 -0500 From: "Lawrence Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] List problem? Most email viruses that disguise itself as JPG is just exploiting one Windows Explore feature: hiding file extensions of known file types. So a virus named vir.jpg.exe or something similar will show up in your email as vir.jpg instead. If you look carefully, the icon is different. Always uncheck the above option in Explorer's Folder Option menu and you will never be fooled again.

If it was .vbs then it'd be a script ... In this case it IS a .jpg though because the listbot caught it and not your browser. And to the best of my knowledge it is NOT possible to infect a computer through a .jpg file (I DID investigate this possibility when someone else brought it up about a year ago ... there isn't anything in the format that'll allow code to execute). - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.

BUT! That's not in truth a real JPG file, only one with a tricky extension. Phillip says that virus code can be written into a JPG file. For the life of me I can't figure out how it would spread any virus. It'd need a separate execuatable file to activate the virus code in the JGP, wouldn't it? And the're nothing to my knowledge (admittedly limited knowledge) that tries to execuate any kind of code in graphics files.
