The situation is:
I have NT 4.0 installed on my computer with NT booter. I just finished with
installation linux RH6.2.
The question is:
Right now, to boot with linux I need to boot from floppy. But I have NT
booter already, and I don't wanna have LILO booter.
How to boot linux using NT booter, without floppy.

Yes you can, but there is a Netscape bug that never been resolved:
When you click on a png link, the png will not be displayed.
Unless you put display the png on an HTML page (dont simply anchor
the png thumbnail image to a bigger file). In this case, put the
bigger png image in another HTML file, and then anchor the HTML link instead.
Then you will be able to see the bigger png image.
For example, in index.html you have:
<a href="bigpic.png"><img src="smallpic.png"></a>
then this will not work in Netscape due to the bug.
Instead, in index.html you put:
<a href="bigpic.html"<img src="smallpic.png"></a>
and then create the bigpic.html as a blank page containing:
<img src="bigpic.png">
Now both the smallpic.png and bigpic.png will be displayed.

Au contraire, 4.72 and 4.73 here on SuSE both load up a PNG image onto a
'blank' page.

well, 'blowfish' says there is a noticably difference in speed. I'm not

well, i checked it and there is a little problem: I do have a Xircom 56k modem
and 10/100mbit pcmcia ethernet card. I can't find it in the list of supported
hardware, although I think there are a lot of people using this type of Xircom
cards. Is it that freebsd is mostly used for servers and servers don't use
pcmcia cards?

Thas was another question that came up to me this morning: does FreeBSD have
sort
of a packaging system? Well.. it does and it works really great (see blowfisch's
message), or not? (like you tell me it can be a pain in the ass, just like
the debian packaging tool which will install all necesarry stuff too?)

Well, i'm not using it except when the system hangs. Therefore encryption isn't
needed. I can't use ssh, because when i'm at university, every other machine
must be capable of login in, which isn't possible with ssh, because the two
machines must identify themselves. Thanks anyway for the tip ;-)

Well, it looks like i am trying the FreeBSD soon, but:
how about my Xircom 56k/10/100mbit ethernet pcmcia card? Might be a
problem, can't find it in the list of supported hardware in the
FreeBSD handbook at the official homepage..

I've been able to emulate a serial terminal using an old 386 running

And be sure you're using the right getty software. I generated

OK so the install went fine but in both cases it was in text mode ?
And with both SuSE and Mandrake, you can't run X ?
I don't know these two distros but it sounds like the i810 is not
supported by XFree86. It may be worth checking on their website.
Maybe it's supported by AcceleratedX ?

Are you *sure* you are not walking off the end of the array allocated
for fileptr? How do you know 256 bytes is enough? Answer: you don't.
Under MS-Windows (VC++), either 256 bytes is always enough or else the
memory after the allocated space is not used by anybody, which allows
you to get by. But it is a bug in your code, not the compiler.

Why not install LILO? You can set it to choose to boot to NT
by default [I have to do that at home so my family can use my
Win-doze -- I'm trying to shift them to using a Samba server,
though I worry about security.]

C++ Builder is easy if you just want a basic client or server connect
to.
However, as you get deeper into sockets, you'll find there are many many
little tricks you have to discover on your own, or by reading the
Pascal (!!!) code for the socket objects, in order to get things working
without leaking memory or handles. Also, there's a leak in Builder 4
sockets
that is fixed in Builder 5. Now that our team has gotten around all
these
problems, we'll use it, but I'm going to get into the Common C++
sockets.

I don't know what you are processing but a 99% cpu-usage for a single process

load reduces (adaptive applications).
About the swap file how much is it used??? ANd how much does that applicatoin

Goto dyndns.org and ask for a nice hostname there (its free)
Then configure your sendmail to receive email for xxx.dyndns.org and
voila every thing infront of the @ is a mailaddress. The only problem
(and you should be aware of it), is that you don't have a fallback host
on wich the email lands when you are offline or down the senders get
their email straight back with a complaint that the host is unreachable.
To solve that a fixed IP address is necassry and some coorperation with
an ISP.

First a word of wonder: "Where in the world do you find an application

Hmmm, I don't know about free appllications I do know that Reflection has
perfect Wyse60 support and SmartTerm isn't to bad either.
Have you tried Wyse120 support? Or VT220-7 that could probablyh interpret
alot of the stuff right. But Wyse60 terminals were a hell that's why the
Wyse60 protocoll was rearly used. I still remember the green screen and
the little pedestal YUK I loved the Wyse 120 (also it's Wyse 120
protocoll) and the Digital VT510, (and specially the VT-200 protocol from
DEC).
Sorry for this sentimental intermezzo :) (Don't think that I'm a grayed

egcs uses the gcc code. However it also expands on the code a little
bit. I believe it is to make it more optimized for Pentium machines. You
should read up on it though. From what I can tell from what I have read,
egcs tends to output faster programs as much as 20%ish if I remember.
Basically ecgs right now is in the 1.2.2 (I think) and can be base off of
gcc 2.xx. With a proper patch you can turn gcc into egcs with a
patch. Read up more on this.
I;m not sure on the websites for this, butyou could look around yourself
and find out more about the two different compilers...

You first need to specify what kinda cluster you'd like.
For a hot standby failover/ha cluster you don't need a lot of
raid-stuff. A Y-scsi cable and 2 SCSI controllers are enough.
For a parallel-cluster (high performance calulating cluster) you don't
need a HA file system.

Hello,
When I execute a find / -name some.file as root, I always get the error
message: 'find: /proc/5/fd permission denied' whether I find some.file
or not. Why?
I'm running rh6.0 intel.
Thanks

you can just put a line in the NT boot loader to include Lilo. I did
it once upon a time....I don't recall how, though. Hmmm, just look
through all that copius and detailed and great documentation you were
provided with NT....that should point you to it real quick. :0
