Also, there is a bootable-CD version of tomsrtbt at:

Which is only the bootable part, it does not interfere with
putting anything you want in the ISO-9660 filesystem portion.

Partition Magic will work, but it will cost you. Parted might work, but

http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PLIP-Install-HOWTO.html describes one way. If
you don't have a PLIP cable, you can do something similar with a
PCMCIA Ethernet card. This is *not* reccommended if you have never
installed Linux before, because there are a couple of places where some
expertise may be needed. The RedHat manual that comes with the boxed
set should have at least a few sections about installing over PLIP or
Ethernet connections; look there also if you can.

Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2000 21:00:16 +0200
Hi all,
After getting Linux 2.2.16 compiled and running, I've detected that
the driver for ATAPI CDROM drives isn't working properly. Actually,
it's doing really bad.
At boot time, they are properly recognized and no error or warning
message is produced. However, when the cdrom tray is ejected and close,
the kernels yields a lot of error messages like the following:
=================
ATAPI device hdb:
Unknown Error Type: No sense data -- (Sense key=0x00)
No additional sense information -- (asc=0x00, ascq=0x00)
The failed "Prevent/Allow Medium Removal" packet command was:
"1e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
=================
It doesn't matter wether a CDRom is in the tray or not. The sequence of
error messages always takes place. This is just the beginning. When
forcing the mount of a cdrom, either through gitmount or direct mount
commands, the system simple gets frozen. There is no way to recover it:
neither keyboard, mouse, network or serial ports respond.
I've checked this problem in a number of different machines, Pentium,
PII, and PIII, equipped with different ATAPI CDROM drives : (e.g.
hdb: BCD 24XM CD-ROM, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdb: ACER CD-767E/O, ATAPI CDROM drive
How anybody experience this problem? Do you know of a solution? Any
patch for the driver?
Thanks in advance!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hiya-
I've been trying to move from devel kernel 2.4.0-test5 to the
2.4.0-test6 series. After a string of sub-test-version failures, at
test6-pre9 I finally figured out the problem: the /lib/modules hierarchy
has all changed around. It now looks like:
kernel pcmcia (just these two with my choice of loadable modules)
these have subdirectories
ls kernel
drivers fs net
and these have subdirectories, etc.
modutils (v. 2.3.11; latest I can find) doesn't seem to be able to deal
with this new module filesystem structuring. I managed to hand
configure /etc/conf.modules with the paths to the various modules, so
now everything works. Is this how "everyone else" is doing it? Is
there a easier way, along the lines of depmod -a used to figure it all
out?
Cheers,
Bob L.

I've installed it on laptops without cdrom drives.
You need a supplemental disk that has a pcmcia driver on it. It will
connect the laptop to the network and allow you to install it from a
network share.
I have done it with a Dell laptop and a 3com pcmcia network card. It
kinda impressed me how smooth the install went.
Any other Guru's out there might want to add more to this response since
I still am fairly new at Linux.

I'm trying to fetch Helix Gnome from helixcode from behind a socks5
proxy. I have some socks clients that can get me to the go-gnome script
and run it, but from there, I'm dead. Obviously the script will not
call my proxy clients to facilitate the d/l (grrrrrrrrrr).
Any ideas? Would it be useful to fetch the bits manually and do the
install that way?? Is there in install script similar to "go-gnome" to
do the install, assuming all the bits are local??
Thanks. Oh, and running Redhat 6.2

Jose:
Odd... I'm running 2.2.16 on an AMD K6-2 500 with an ATAPI CD-ROM, listening to
CD's as we speak... What does your /etc/fstab look like pertaining to the CD-ROM?
I ::used:: To have that "problem" under the old 2.0.X kernels, until I figured out
I had the wrong settings for the cdrom in /etc/fstab....
Should look something like this:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 owner,noauto,ro 0 0
Also, if you've got an application running, such as a CD Player of some sort, and
you eject the CD-ROM, the program is probably polling the CD for data every once in
awhile, which makes the kernel dump messages when it can't find the data... so try
closing out that CD player before ejecting the CD, then restarting the player.
Hope this helps.

"We use `/dev/ttyS*' all the time for dial-in and
for dial-out, and believe me, it works, and it's
the only combination that will work properly.
The kernel locking mechanism only works if you
use modem auto-answer (the getty process sleeps
until the modem gets a carrier), and mgetty uses
manual answer (it waits for the RING message from
the modem), which will save your callers a lot of
grief because their calls will only be answered if
your computer is ready to receive a call. Part of
the motivation for writing mgetty was being tired
of losing lots of money for useless calls to a
hung machine.
I'd recommend against using `/dev/modem' as a link
to the real device, but if you do that, make it a
hard link to the appropriate `/dev/ttyS*'. A soft
link will cause problems with the device ownership
because of a peculiarity in the linux chown()
implementation..."
I've followed this advise and use only /dev/ttyS0 for both
dial-in and dial-out with both data and fax content
bidirectionally. It works fine.
So what were the error messages? Maybe have a look at
/var/log/messages ?
G'luck....

wtf???? startx not found ?
As root,
OK, simple stuff: do " locate startx"
If it errors out , do "locate -u /", which I think will build the database.
then do the "locate startx"
if you find it, then try running it by typing the full path to it.
Check :do you have a startx script which is world executable in
/usr/X11R6/bin/ or somewhere abouts?
Do you have a valid XF86Config file somewhere? perhaps in /etc/X11/ ?

Every time I've put in X, ( RH 5.0, 5.2, 6.0, Solaris ), there was *always*

In the XF86Config file, is your mouse setup properly ?

Subject: using ramdisk for /tmp and /var
Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2000 20:48:09 GMT
I am on a project putting embedded Linux on a ARM-based
target. We are going to boot from flash with a flash
file system, but we want to use a ramdisk for our /tmp
and /var directories.
Basically, we have to create a filesystem image to
burn into our flash to use for the boot. We have utils
to create and burn the image, but there are some questions
about the ramdisk part.
Here is the general procedure we are thinking of using
to accomplish this:
ON DESKTOP
----------
(1) We have a filesystem image from an outside source.
We are going to use this to populate the flash image
with the necessary files/dirs for boot.
Mount fs image from outside source into /tmp/blah
(2) The util we use to create the flash image takes a dir
as its root and creates the image based on the files
inside this dir. So we create directory <whatever>
(3) Copy files from /tmp/blah into <whatever> --
EXCEPT for /tmp and /var
(4) Create a ramdisk (size=?) filesystem and put the "file" into
<whatever>/dev ... mke2fs <whatever>/dev/tmp_rd
(5) Create a ramdisk (size=?) filesystem and put the "file" into
<whatever>/dev ... mke2fs <whatever>/dev/var_rd
(6) mount <whatever>/dev/var_rd /tmp/var_rd
(7) Populate /tmp/var_rd with var files from /tmp/blah
(8) umount /tmp/var_rd
(9) umount /tmp/blah
(10) mkfs.jffs <whatever> (this is the util for creating the
flash image)
ON TARGET
---------
(11) Burn <whatever> image into flash
(12) Use kernel w/ ROOT_DEV==flash block driver
(13) At some point in the boot: mount /dev/tmp_rd /tmp ... when??
(14) At some point in the boot: mount /dev/var_rd /var ... when??
As you can see, there are some questions in the procedure:
(a) Is this a reasonable idea and solution to use the ramdisk
this way?
(b) Any suggestions as to how much space we should allocate
for the /tmp and /var on the ramdisk?
(c) Where in the boot process should/do we have to mount these
parts?
Answers to these questions or any general comments are greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Didn't work though, so I'm currently compiling a new kernel and I hope,

I don't know if this is the right group to post to, but I'm sure you folks
will let me know if it isn't.... Oh well, here it goes.
The company I am working for is trying to port its software from SGI Irix
5.3/6.4 to Linux RedHat6.1/6.2. We develop in an OpenMotif enviroment
including the ICS EPak widget set. The EPak 3.0 set includes the wml files,
but neglects to include the wmd file needed by the uil compiler to generate
the uid file. I have looked through the OpenMotif source and have found the
source for the wml compiler, but it is missing header files from the uil
source.
Does anyone have the entire uil package, or know where I can get them, or
the wml binary/complete source?
Thanks
