Hello Craig,
you have got a lot of advices here. But none has told, how to partition your
hard drive best.

Here's my advice for it.

Take fdisk from your linux installation disk and create the following
partition table manualy!

partition         capacity          for                  file-system
mount-point       comment

1 (primary)     4MB- 8MB     lilo                  ext2            /boot
vmlinuz, System.map, boot.c, etc

2 (primary)      <1024 cyl      win95/win98 fat32           /mnt/win95/c

3 extended     til end of drive

4 logical         as you need   win95/win98 fat32           /mnt/win95/d
(if you realy realy need)

5 logical         32MB-64MB  linux-swap    swap          -

6 logical         til end of drive LINUX :-))    ext2            /
(as much as possible   ;-))


Make the second partition (win95/win98) bootable and activ and save the
partition table.

When you restart your computer with a win95-install disk,
stop installation with F3 and start fdisk manualy.

Look at the partition table.
The second partition should be marked with C: ,activ
and with the correct capacity beneath some unknown partitions.

Look at the extended partition.
You should see the logical drive d: with the correct capacity
beneath some unknown partitions.

When that's all ok, you can exit fdisk and continue with
format c: /s/u  and  format d: /u

After that, restart and install senseless95 or senseless98

When that's done, enjoy installing LINUX and forget about the other stuff.

Bernd

PS: if anyone knows a better way, please let us all know!

Hello Tony,

you must edit the file /etc/exports at the machines to backup.
add a line like
/ yourbackupmachine.yournet(rw,no_root_squash)
to allow root on yourmachine.yournet to mount / on th machines, you want to
backup.
Remember NOT to backup /proc and links as files

At the DDS-3 tape-drive you shound look for a jumper for setting
hardware-compression on (as the HP-streamer have).
I don't know, whether it's possible to set compression by any
software/driver under linux, would like to know it myself.

Hello Tony,
First you should look at the drive, wether it has a jumper for fix setting
compression on/off/driver driven, like the HP-DAT streamers have.

The type of tape should be recognized automaticly by the device (as far as I
know).

no.

i recommend installing 2.2.3 as that seems to be the latest and
greatest version.

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 21:24:39 -0800

Back when I only had a shell account with an ISP, I used a product
called TIA
to make PPP connections using my shell account.   There were a couple of
caveats, 
though.  1. The connection to the host had to be 8 bits.   2. You have
to use the IP
address of the host and setup port redirection for other boxes to get to
yours.  
For example, if your host was 10.0.1.1 and you wanted to run X, tyou
would have to define a port redirection on the PPP emulator that
redirected some arbitrary port number to port 6000 on your box.   

I'm not sure if TIA is still available, but there was another product
called SLiRP which
did the same thing.  Check out the following URL for some information:

   http://www.linux.org.tr/ldp/HOWTO/mini/SLIP-PPP-Emulator.html

Hope this helps.

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 21:28:50 -0800

I downloaded all of the redhat linux file from the ftp site. Now I want
to burn the a CD, however I would like the disk image to be readable by
Linux (after I get it installed). It seems like I can't do a straight
ISO 9660 image because there are filenames longer than 8.3

My question is, under Win9x, can I create a CD image for Linux of the
files I downloaded? If so, how? What utilities would I need? (I have
Adaptec EasyCD  Creator and CDR Win)

Thanks!

Reply-To: Faheem Mitha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Dear People,
            I have a question to which I had always assumed the answer
is no, but someone seems to think differently, so I thought it worth
checking.

I have X running under Linux (Redhat 5.1) on my home computer. I don't
have an ISP (no money 'cause I'm a student) but I do have an account at my
university (on Suns running X), which is on the internet. 

I connect to the machine in my univ department using Kermit via a bank of
modems (I think) supplied by the uni. (I'm a little vague about this part,
but I dial in and the modem connects to another modem, and then I get a
menu and I choose a number from the menu and I get a choice of host, and I
type in the machine name I want to connect to and login.) 

Then the login session takes over the Xterm I started Kermit in. (I can't
run multiple login sessions). What I would like to have is to be able to
run Xapps like netscape by remote so that the windows pop up on my screen.
However, as far as I know, my uni doesn't have any of those nice protocols
(like PPP) that, as I understand it, make this kind of thing a piece of
cake. When I type emacs (for example), I get 

lib: connection to "aardvark:0.0" refused by server
 lib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
emacs: Cannot connect to X server aardvark:0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.

However, I don't see how setting xhost on my machine would help, since it
is not networked.  In fact I tried it and it just hangs. So my question
is, is it possible to run emacs and netscape et al by remote or not? It
would be extremely nice, but my feeling is that the answer is no. If you
have information to the contrary, please let me know.  A courtesy e-mail
would be appreciated (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). These Linux newsgroups are
high volume and I don't want to miss valuable information. 

Thanks in advance (and I hope I don't sound too clueless). I also
apologise for the length of this message but wasn't sure what was
relevant.

Yes, though really the only distro that stands out as different is
slackware.  It doesn't use rpm or deb or whatever, it uses tgz.  It also
has a completely different default init confinguration.

        osp++;
    }

        /* get option character */
    optch = *osp++;
    if (!optch) goto A;

You have to be running an X server, but if your local xhost succeeded

Well...(1) you *don't* want to run Netscape remotely.  You probably
don't want to run any even vaguely graphical program remotely over a
phone-line dialup connection.  That having been said, (2) it should be 
possible to do so, if you can get some kind of IP connection working
(a PPP dialup, or maybe SLiRP within your normal dialup session).  The 
Remote-X-Apps mini-HOWTO answers most of the common questions about
how this should work.

I think DNS reverse lookup shouldn't be a problem. If there is no reverse
DNS entry, it should just show the IP address in wtmp.

This is an addendum to my previous message. Apparently, when I dial in, I
am connected to something called a terminal server, with "ports", one of
which I am "stuck" into. So there is another machine between my home one
and the one in my department that I am logging on to. Don't know if this
makes things any clearer.

Try 'ldd filename' and you'll see the libraries it needs.  Odds are you
don't have ones it wants (most likely libc5).

When I do 'cat /proc/devices', I don't see any of the lp (neither lp0, nor
lp1, nor lp2) in the least. Does it mean that all of the lp devices are dead?

I was just playing around with WP8 for Linux
and discovered that the drawing fearture is
"only available in the commercial version of
WordPerfect 8".  And I though that there was
hope for Corel.  Oh well.
