Hello, can anyone help me to solve this problem?
When I telnet from a MS windows machine (95 or NT same problem) to a
Linux machine (RH6.0), and start elm, then I get this error message:
[tiger@virgin tiger]$ elm
Your terminal does not support the "clear screen" function (cl).
Your terminal does not support the "clear to end of line" function (ce).
Your terminal does not support the "clear to end of display" function (cd).

you have to have ntfs support in the kernel. try 'modprobe ntfs' (as root)
to see if it's loaded and load it if it is not. alternatively, you can
compile the support into the kernel directly. you may have to compile the
module if /lib/modules/<your version>/fs/ntfs.o does not exist, BTW.

perhaps your path isn't 8-bits?
For example, Solaris telnet:
OPTIONS
-8 Specifies an 8-bit data path. Negotiating the TELNET
BINARY option is attempted for both input and output.

You need to compile kernel nfs server support into your kernel.

3. Should work
4. See above.
Check the groups file, perhaps something wrong there ?
You should be able to make another user with root privilege, maybe you could

It might help if you post the passwd-line of root, and the groups-file with

You could try this:
Install 2 different lilo configs in the boot blocks of the partitions
and use the standard DOS MBR, which boots the partition marked active.
In this setup you should be able to use fdisk to mark the partition
active, that should be booted the next time.

Did you edit the 'C:\WINDOWS\hosts' file on your Win computer?
And Samba does not use encrypted passwords.
It could be changed, but it is easier to setup the Win computer.
Look for a file named 'Win95_PlainPassword.reg' on the Linux computer.
Add it to the win-registry (after a backup).

After installation of Suse 6.1 which worked out to be very smooth, I
encountered the following problem: my mouse refuses to respond.
I tried almost anything.
The mouse is a mitsumi serial mouse, two button type.
When I look in kernel-mesages, I see that there is a ps/2 mouse port. What
to do? What kind of mouse should I select? and what port? tty0, or tty1? I
tried Sax, xf86config and xf86setup. Nothing seems to work. Do I need to do
a full re-install?
Please help me out!!

Hi Aaron,
I have a Teles ISDN card at home (Teles So 16.3 ISA) and I use SuSE
Linux 6.1. The quickest way I found to get ISDN working is to use KISDN:
It is a very convenient tool and install without any problems. Moreover
you do not have to worry at all about fiddling with some odd
configurations - it just works fine.
I even wrote a small section about KISDN on my homepage:
http://www.eco.rug.nl/medewerk/maier/Recreation/html/kisdn.htm
Good luck!

Have been successful so far in doing:
1) Setting up the new drive as slave
2) Copying the windows98 on the new Primary Partition with
Disk-Wizard
3) Creating and Formatting new portions on the new drive (native
82) and swap (83)
swap (250MB) native 12000MB
This the status quo now!!!!
Now I guess. Problably I have to mount the new native
/dev/hdb3 on a new directory ????
How can I then transfer (they told me to use cpio) all the data to
the new native partition??
so that I can make it bootable and can reinstall lilo for
dualboot.
Finally the old harddisk should be removed.
I thank you all so much for any help!!!!!
Especially what are the parameters for cpio
Is it
cpio copy-pass /dev/hda3 /* /dev/hdb3 /* ?????
Ownership and permissions must be the same in the new version
dev/hda3 ( my original system with all data)
dev/hdb3 (my empty new system partition)
Thank you so much gentlemen!!!!

Have you recompiled your kernel today?

I heared that even if you have set a BIOS-password it is possible to come
in
the BIOS-setup using a build-in-password which is there for the case that
you forget your BIOS-password. A friend showed me a list of such passwords
in
a book about data-security for Award- and AMI-BIOS. (Dos not seem to make
much sense, does it ;-) )
But even if that does not work, if someone has physikal access to the
box, it is
always possible to put an other Harddisk into to boot a "rescue"-system
and get
access to the system.
So keep your computer in a locked room ;-)

On rare occasions it can cause HD problems which the standard fsck -f
will not fix. The only time that ever happened to me is my mom shut
off linux during the boot procedure.

Help!
I just installed the KDE updates from RedHat and now
I get a:
kdepath=/usr/bin unknown command
when I log in. Where is this variable set? I tried
grepping for it with no luck.
Thanks!
