Seriously, I need to set up a remote win98 box to run an X session. Where
can I get some info on what I need to do to get this to work?
I realize the implications of this but unfortunately the person who needs
this needs to do some tasks on the linux box but is not command prompt

Ok,
This should be easy but I cannot find the way.
A user messed the /etc/inittab and now his machine is not booting right.
All I want is a floppy rescue disk who will allow me to mount an ext2
partition in RW mode. I already tried the RH images but no one gives
me a prompt.
I also tried some mini distributions but they do not allow to mount ext2
partitions in RW mode, they always say the partition has unsuported
features.
Thanks for any help

Well, if the Linux and Win98 box are on the same subnet OR both are
IP-addressable over an external network, then it's pretty easy.
Windows box runs an X server of some sort. I use Microimages
X-server(mix), but that's a little ugly. If oyu need prettier stuff, it's
out there. After the Windows box starts it up, on the linux box, you run:
"xterm -display $WINDOWS_BOX_NAME:0 &"
Now, you can replace "xterm" with any program that will respond to a
redirected display. $WINDOWS_BOX_NAME can be replaced by an IP address,
if that's easier. the :0 part tells it to use Xterminal 0.
If the windows box is behind a firewall, port forwarding MAY be possible.
On my ipchains firewall, there's a program I can run that will redirect
connections to "$Server:x" to another machine on the internal network.
Of course, none of the above deals with security. You can xforward with
ssh and I believe ssl, if you're worried about security.

Unless I can get the whole thing near-silent then there's little point
in buying a new power supply - the hard drive's an old Seagate 1.x gig
which is just as loud as the PSU. If it's possible to buy a case + PSU +

(translation: does anyone happen to know of anything? :-) )

: ANYWAY, the easiest way to find out if your fs is mounted read-write or

No it isn't. That only reflects the result of mount syscalls (and mount
calls issued without the -n switch). It's a cat of /etc/mtab or
/proc/mounts. The FS can put itself into mount state on its own (e.g.
when it detects an error) without changing either of those. Vfat does
this a lot. Ext2fs does it less, but it can happen. Look at the output
of dump2fs. And you can do it invisibly yourself with a -n switch to
mount. Such as when you reboot ...

I thought about doing that, but then would I be able to boot off
/dev/hda? /dev/hda is where bootpart is loaded and controls the booting

Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 13:28:42 -0500
I have not been able to get sound for events (e.g., login, logout, menu
item activation, the annoying sounds that go with AOL Instant
Messenger) when running under GNOME. I do have sound working. I can
listen to RealPlayer files, hear embedded sound in web pages using
Netscape, listen to various types of sound files with XMMS. Further, if
I run under KDE, sounds for events work.
If I use the GNOME Configuration Tool to "Enable sound server
startup," then when I log in it takes 30 seconds or longer, rather than
the second or two required otherwise. Also, it then takes longer to
load programs. And I still don't get sounds for events (even when the
"Sounds for events" box in the GNOME Configuration Tool is checked )!
None of the systems people here can figure it out.
Here are the details of the setup I'm using:
Linux Mandrake release 7.0, Operating System Release 2.2.14-15 mdk
Pentium III processor
Ensoniq ES1371 sound card
Obviously this isn't a problem that is preventing me from doing useful
work, but it's a little disturbing that something is wrong and (so
far) the problem is a mystery. I would be grateful for any constructive
suggestions.

Cool. I'm glad that fixed the problem.
The only way I know that files become immutable is when someone
intentionally makes them that way. Do you know if anyone else has root
access to your system?
I'm pretty familiar with Slackware, but not so much with the other
distributions. I guess it could be that the other dist's make certain
files that way to stop mistakes from happening. (??) I'm really not
sure.
If you do have other people accessing your system, you may want to
restrict that if you're not sure what they're doing.
Glad things are working for ya...

Again, everything is fine there.
I've also tried in the meantime with downgrading to RedHat 6.1, as well
as to installing Slackware 7.1. But the problem is still there - kernel
compilation is always freezing machine...
Thanks.

There are two parts to it: the RealProducer and the RealServer.
The RealProducer takes the sound off the soundcard, and provides it at a TCP port.
The RealServer takes it from there to give it to the world.
In my current setup everything is done on Linux, but in the early stages, I had
run tests with the producer on NT (I didn't have a soundcard in the Linux box at
that time), and the server running on Linux, and it worked fine.
I'm not sure, though if these tools are still free for Windoze. Real changes
that quite a bit sometimes. And the free tools are hard to find on their site,
anyway.

Besides recompiling the kernel you also have to do a
make modules
and a
make modules_install
