Ha Ha. I had a hell of a time getting my mom's worlnet isp to work.
The way I got it to work was adding the user name and password to
/etc/chap-secrets so it would look like this:
# client server secret IP addresses
username * password
You would then need the standard scripts etc. I used X-isp to handle that stuff.
Somewhere you need to specify that the isp uses chap to authenticate.
The isp seems to disconnect me a lot. Hope this works.

Hello,
I have a really simple question. In the script file for xwindows

if [ -n "$BASH.ENV" ]; then "$BASH.ENV"
I am not sure what the -n means and I don't know where to look for this

Does anyone know?

kernel 2.3 is an unstable release, so be careful with that. You can
download it at any mirror of sunsite (metalab.unc.edu). Try
ftp.kernel.org as well
About your settings, you'll probably loose them, because you might want
to do a clean install instead of using patches.

Dear Calvin
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate that. At the moment, i've already
deleted everything within my Linux partition. I took this drastic step as i
need to get into Windows urgently, unfortunately.
The steps i've taken is as follow:
1) Boot up from a Partition Magic ver4 floppy.
2) Get into the partition information and delete the linux partitions.
This is one bit i don't really understand though. I found someone to do
this for me while i watch and learn from it. Am i right to say that when a
partition is removed from a hdd, does that empty space automatically goes
to Windows, which in my case is the other OS i have? It doesn't appear to
be the case when i view it under PM5 where it says there is an unallocated
partition.
Is there any safe way i can transfer that space to Windows? PM5 may have
this function but i don't think i want to face another unexpected problem
again.
Anyway thanks Calvin for your suggestion. I'll keep that in mind and try it
when i encounter this problem again.
Sincerely
Henry

Dear Metaboy
The problem began when i have none of my emergency disk or any backup with
me, when i left them overseas. I've fixed the problem by removing the Linux
partitions using PM4 on a floppy. This i think removed LILO and any Linux
content from the hdd. All that remains now is a pure Windows machine.
Thank your for your suggestion.

Dear Leonard
I got someone to fix the problem for me, through the removal of the Linux
partitions (unfortunately) using PM4 on a floppy. He also suggested
fdisk/mbr but somehow the laptop just accept the command without further
response. A reboot showed up the same problem again. I honestly do not know
why. Strangely but most fortunately though, after using PM4, everything
under the Windows remained intact and i was able to work under Windows as
before from then.
No, I've not noticed anything unusual from both the hardware or the content
within the Win partition.
Can you boot from a DOS/Windows floppy? If so, can you see the C: drive
after you boot by dir c:
This was the furthest i could go after booting up from a Win setup disk. I
could see C:\ and can do anything that can be performed under dos. The only
"catch" was that i cannot run anything that requires Windows.
Perhaps some Windows based emergency software running from a DOS floppy
could be of some help.
Like i mentioned earlier, PM4 was used to get in. Would you be abl to tell
me if PM5 has this function as well? I'm not referring to the emergency
boot disk that the prog prompts to create initially(just for the laptop/pc
that it has been installed), but the software itself on a floppy.

Subject: looking for advice with making tape backups
Date: Sun, 07 May 2000 16:39:35 GMT
I would like to ask anyone who has the time to respond to tell me what
he's using for tape backup scripts, etc.. I am trying to make backups
over the lan to a machine with a DDS1 (2 GB native) tape drive, and need
to be able to do multi-volume backups.
So, I tried a line like this:
tar SMzcvf - . --exclude='*.o' | buffer | ssh taper "buffer > /dev/tape"
which I was hoping would write a compressed archive to the tape on the
"taper" machine. Unfortunately however, I received this error:
tar: Cannot use multi-volume compressed archives
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Well, I can understand why tar can't do that. I imagine it's because
it's sending the tar output to gzip and therefore no longer has any
means of detecting that the end of the tape has been reached.
Is there any other arrangement of the utilities that will make this
work? I suppose I need the data to be compressed *before* it's sent to
the archiving program (tar, cpio, whatever)?
In case it matters, this is on a Debian potato system.
Thanks.

: If you aren't encountering the 1024 cylinder limit problem,
: there could be some geometry mismatch. You would have to give
: us more detail about your BIOS and whatever else you can tell
: us. And of course, there could just have been some glitch
: in the installation such that lilo was not run properly and
: doing again will resolve the issue.
: If you are encountering the 1024 cylinder limit problem,
: although there is a new version of lilo which overcomes the
: problem, you probably can't use it because your BIOS probably
: doesn't support the extended BIOS call that is necessary.
: You can try adding the linear option and see what happens,
I have added the linear option in the latest installation I did
and this didn't change anything.
: but either you will have to repartition with /boot in
: a partition below cylinder 1024, use loadlin or something
: similar, or just boot from a floppy.
