Hi slugs,
I decided to upgrade my hard disk only to find that the BIOS does not
like a 40Gb hard disk!
it's a VIA chipset with an Award modular BIOS.
Anyone know of anywhere in Sydney that I can get an upgrade. I have a
1Mb BIOS chip and it needs upgrading to a 2Mb chip to allow for the
flash
couldn't you just make it smaller in the bios and go and install linux on
it anyway
like my laptop 12gb disk windoze only see's 8gb and it's only in the 1st
2gb only anyway. Linux on the rest works fine. Linux dosen't care about
broken bios'es! Heck it dosen't even use it!
Just don't forget

I wish i remember the name, but i'm sure someone else on the list could point
you in the right direction, What about the linux project where you don't use
bios and flash the linux kernel directly into the flash instead.

Hehe yeah, I grow out of that a while ago now. If I must reboot box to
install hardware then it must be done. It can always start again. But hey,
its hard bringing yourself to boot a machine with 100+ days uptime. It
Since you mentioned it..
[david@fast david]$ uptime

However, there can be OTHER reasons than impressing NT users for not
wanting to reboot.

Firewire and USB make the forementioned rebooting
for hardware changes a thing of the past.
Although video cards etc...
Hot pluggable ram would go down very nicely, someone
care to invent / implement it on the x86 platform?
(Ok sure you could change printers and mice etc before.)

If U want to use 40G HDD with old bios, you can get a Diskmanager 2000
driver. This loads into the boot area, and translates the drive. I am not
sure what capacity the O/S sees from

Well, now that you mention it... :-)
I went out and bought a Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard last week
for my laptop.
I'm using RedHat 7.1. I can't write files to the windows partition
/mnt/win98. I want my users to do this. Tried chown root.users -R
/mnt/win98. Also tried playing around in fstab. Root can now write but
no users
Here is the original and changed line from fstab

Laurie,
You need umask=0 . Or umask=002,gid=xxx where xxx is a group to have
write access. See fstab(5). e.g.
it's a subject which seems to come up every so often. I just thought I'd
mention that I just managed to successfully pay my rent with NAB's new
internet banking system with mozilla under linux.
Hack the planet,
