I'm not being sarcastic, but if you read the documentation
that came with your distro--particularly the sections
related to boot magic and partition magic, you'll find the
answer. Good luck.

I had a similar problem. Rather than booting from the CD, I
booted into DOS, then went to the CD. Went to the Dosutils
directory, then typed "autoboot.bat" This loads
installation. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I need a simple answer. The previous answers just did not work. The

Er, are you one of the security goons spying on me, stealing my screens,

I shall try this first thing tomorrow morning when I get into day job. I was

How do I tell which is the root partition? I did get a Linux book a while back
and it is of little help for this, although it was very useful for help with
mail. By the way, it was complaining about hda2.

OK, I'll try the Homer Simpson routine.

OK, but I will not count the proverbial chickens before ...

The machine was built up in the summer so it did run for about 5 months before
giving me the finger.
=================================================

Actually, I never shut the machine down, ever. I use it as ftp server, file
server, post office, and a telnet server. That's about it.

I don't even think X-windows is running on the machine. It's just a box with no
monitor and we only use command line to get in for telnet and ftp; for post
office, I mostly just use Eudora to talk with it.

I'll keep my eyes on it. A previous poster remarked that they keep file system
information in memory, something that I know from 20 years ago (assuming that my
memory is working) UNIX used to do; I thought with modern equipment they would
get rid of that potential trouble spot. The disk is a new 8 gigabyte drive, I
bought a batch of 4 at once, and they were all installed in machines within a
few weeks of each other, over the summer. So far <rk knocks himself in the
head, er, on wood> the other three have been flawless. I would suspect that the
power may have blinked as I do not have a UPS on the system.
Thank you very much for the advice,
Also, thanks to the others for helping,
I'll try again tomorrow,
Have a good evening,
rk

Hi,
I have a 486DX/2 66 with 8M RAM and 45M HDD. A piece of crap basically and
I'm interested in putting Linux on it. New versions of Slackware seem to
require more memory than what I have on my system. Is there a way to get an
old version of Linux?
I'm interested in installing the 'a' and 'n' series of disks. Nothing fancy.
Thanks.
Ah, by the way the system has Win31 on it and it works fine, so I'm sure
Linux can **replace** this and still work fine.

Take a look at my posting "Using DOS to install Linux", in this newsgroup.
If you figure out how to write the boot sector using DOS, please
let me know. If it works, it would let you install a current version.
But 45 MB might be too small since I think you might need at least 32MB
for swapspace.
Also, I used the A1-A4 diskettes of Linux kernel 0.99 to install that
version of Linux on a laptop with 8MB RAM and a 250 MB HD. The A diskettes
only unpack to about 12 megabytes. This led me to post the article
"old versions of Linux online?" in this newsgroup. One useful reply
I got was from John Girash who referred me to
http://skyron.harvard.edu/slacky23/
(you have to have the / at the end), which contains the Slackware 2.3
distribution.

I would like to launch an XTERM and have it read a separate .MYcshrc
file.
The .MYcshrc file contains new aliases, path, etc...
If you launch an XTERM then type SOURCE .MYcshrc it works fine.
** the XTERM now has new aliases ,path ,etc...
I'am tring to do the above in one operation.
Tried xterm -e .MYcshrc
xterm -e source .MYcshrc
xterm -e Ascript which has source .MYcshrc inside
and lots of combos that don't work.
** Trying to avoid adding a SOURCE line to the users .cshrc file.

Probably a silly question, but I have installed Redhat Linux 6.0 and

When dialling my ISP, KPPP connects as per normal, and gives me the

with a message 'SIGHUP received'.
I know that my ISP is not sending out the SIGHUP. How do I stop it?

Subject: Tyan 1854S motherboard..is it good
Date: 25 Feb 2000 04:58:17 GMT
Hi,
I'm building a new system for a friend and I need some serious
recommendations about the motherboard. The main criteria are:
1) Not too expensive ( about US $100)
2) Conducive to a decent processor upgrade in a year or so.
3) Would like to avoid built on video,sound etc. etc.
and of course it should play nice with linux....
About a few months ago I thought I had a fairly good grasp on the
hardware market. That's no longer true at least as far as mainboards
go. There are so many new models all touting great features
etc. After some reading on websites, newsgroups etc., the Tyan S1854
seems to be a goog bet. Apart from some reports of not combining well
with the voodoo cards ( which is not a problem since it's not going
to be a graphics intensive system ) it seems OK. It can support 133
MHz fron side bus and should be upgradable to pIII 600 or so in a
years time ( when the prices of PIII's should be reasonable... right
now building with a Celeron 400).
I would welcome any suggestions/advice etc on this topic. Is the
Tyan board OK. If not.. why. Any personal experiences. Any other
recommended boards satisfying the above criteria...
Thanks a lot

Make sure your floppy drive is working OK first.
1. Find a DOS/Win9x system (not hard, right?)
2. Using this system, insert a floppy, then enter "FORMAT A:" and "SYS A:"
at the DOS prompt.
3. Copy the FDISK.EXE program to that floppy. In Win98, it's in
C:\Windows\Command\
4. Go to your system, set the BIOS to boot from the floppy (and ONLY the
floppy, if that's a choice) and insert that floppy you just made.
5. Save changes and exit the BIOS setup.
6. When MS-DOS starts up, enter FDISK /MBR. Voilá, no more LILO in the
MBR.

O.K., I will bite at this...
Linux is an opertaing system like Windows. However, it is open-source
and available for free. There are many different flavors of Linux
which are knwo as distrobutions or distros. Examples are Red Hat,
Corel, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Storm Linux, etc, etc, etc. It is
used in settings where stability is paramount, such as mission
critical servers. The majority of the web is run off of Linux based
servers for example.

Simple: you did not build a serial module. Your config says
CONFIG_SERIAL=y instead of CONFIG_SERIAL=m . It should be included in the kernel.
do a cat /proc/devices and see if you find " 4 ttyS" in there.
If so you hav serial support built in and you can either ignore the messages or
do a "alias char-major-4 off" in your /etc/modules.conf

Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 00:52:09 -0500
I am surprised that no one answered this question. Basically, you are
close to the goal you are trying to reach. You MUST read installation
manual line by line from intel web site. Installations of many linux
drivers are not like MS window drivers, and probably will not be in the
near future. I have made i810 chipset work both on Mandrake 6.1 and
Suse 6.3. The intel release notes pretty much covers detailed
installation procedure for Mandrake and RH although file names seem to
have some error. Basically, you need to
1. Intall XFCom-I810
rpm -Uvh XFCom-i810*.i386.rpm
2. Compile and install kernel module
rpm -rebuild I810Gtt*.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/I810Gtt-0.1-5.i686.rpm
3. Edit the XF86Config file in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
4. Setup the X server link
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_810/etc/X11/X
There are still some tricks about editing XF86Config.
The Suse users has to search the tech database for "XFree86 support for
Intel i810 chip sets" in SuSe web site. Good luck.
