Subject: Re: How to re-create a boot disk
Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 03:15:43 GMT
All,
I would like to thank everyone for there suggestions.
I was finally able to re-create my boot disk with a little
trial and error.
The main problem I had was I lent someone my 6.0
Mandrake disk, so when I re-created my boot disk
I used Redhat 5.1. My system is using Ultra DMA
controller for the hard drives and with the older boot
image it wasn't properly picking up the drives. I had
this problem before when I was using Redhat 5.1.
(back then I unhooked the drives from the DMA
controller and used the motherboard). But I remember
there was a work around.
So my final solution was everyone's suggestion coupled
with the work around.
At the boot prompt I entered:
vmlinuz ide2=0xfff0,0xffe6 ide3=0xffa8,0xfbe6 root=/dev/hdg11
This booted me back into Mandrake where I recreated my
bootdisk.
Thanks again,
Tony

can't you use dmesg to get them after-the-fact at any rate?

Subject: Need C or C++ programmer to implement protocols
Date: 12 Mar 2000 01:06:50 EST
I have some short quick projects to be implemented in C or C++.
I am looking for anyone proficient in C or C++ to build handlers for simple
text based protocols. These can be developed where ever you choose (at home,
after hours etc.).
Threads, sockets and Unix knowledge would be welcome.
If interested write to me to discuss pay and specs and the like, at:

Hi Milan,
I would be interested to know how your system behaves under my own boot
loader. I wrote a boot loader, nuni, which is intended to eliminate all
those complications associated with the bios.
nuni does not use the bios, and it also does not use the concept of
geometry or cylinders. It will boot linux from any location up to 137gb
on any IDE drive. It also boots from drives connected to ATA66 cards.
Go to freshmeat.net and search on the name nuni.
Neil.

Is someone actually paying for this security assessment?

perldoc perlipc
However, you probably want to change the HTTP command to include the Host:
header in the webget example if used for virtual hosts:
print $remote "GET $document HTTP/1.0".$EOL."Host: $host". $BLANK;

No, what "people" say is not true.
See BeOS for a good example of a fast unix-like kernel written in C++.

I am really new to the linux kernel. I just wonder if anyone could tell
me where I can find the ftp source code? Thanks a lot.
