PM's Boot Manager should be told to go to /dev/hda7 where it
should find the lilo boot loader. If you didn't change anything
about PM, this should still be the case. The first line of
/etc/lilo.conf should read
boot=/dev/hda7
Then you should just run /sbin/lilo after booting Linux from a
floppy. In principle, you can't put the lilo boot loader in
a logical partition because most first stage boot loaders can't
handle that, but I presume PM's can. If not, put the lilo
loader instead in the extended partition containing the logical
partition.

You do not need to enter the I/O and IRQ numbers for PCI cards.
Only ISA drivers accept the "io=" and "irq=" module options.
Passing unknown options to modules will prevent them from loading.

Eucalypt Software - Makers of Autopost & Rocketfuel --- Ripped Me Off!!!
-
All potential buyers should be warned to steer clear of this company. They have a
repeated pattern
of ripping people off and ignoring requests for support.
-
I know someone who sent in the $10 registration fee for Autopost TWICE (thinking the
first one may
have gotten lost) and in both instances, never got a registered version of the program
and all of his
emails were completely ignored.
-
I myself purchased Rocketfuel on-line and had to pull teeth to get an unlock code. The
web site was very
quick to take my money, but no registration/unlock code came for days and days. I
repeatedly emailed them,
only to receive nothing but autoresponses. After 5 days I sent them a message stating
that if I did not have
a working version of the program by the close of business that day, that I would
challenge the credit card
charge. Magically, the code arrived several hours later.
-
What kind of way to do business is that?
-
In any case, its academic... there are other products available for free that do
virtually the same thing
and I only wish that I had known about them before I wasted my time with Eucalypt
Software.
-
If your in need of automatic news posting software, there is nothing better than "NNTP
Power Post 2000".
It's graciously been made available free from the following web site:

Nothing that I can see. What does "ls -R | grep -i cgi" show?

Anyone who loses a second's sleep over this article really does
not understand the stock market, especially Wall Street.
First, fund managers are moral cowards. It pays to be one, if
you are handling bushels of other people's money. Indeed, it is
their duty to invest safely, not gamble on bright possibilities.
On average, it does not pay to be a pioneer. Why should we fret
if even 65536 funds dump their Linux-related holdings?
Second, as I am sure everyone here knows, selling Linux alone is,
almost by definition, not a way to get rich. You make your money
by adding value; and even then you struggle. This concept is one
some journalists seem unable to get their heads around. Truly, I
have more respect for those fund managers, who at least know an
anarchy does not favour the kind of market control required for a
stable and reasonably predictable income. By contrast, journos
(or their editors) crave simple screaming headlines. Worse, they
are prone to back-biting an innovation for the miscalculations of
people who at one stage hoped to exploit it.
Third, companies like IBM (who admittedly have a recent track
record of repeatedly dropping the ball, even when it was nailed
to their hands) like Linux in a big way. Politics or not, they
are throwing money at its exploitation. On balance, I'll trust
the commercial opinions of IBM sooner than those of a deadline-
threatened journo.
Now... What was the question again?

I'm having a similar problem trying to complile OpenGL w/gcc. I've added the
directories to PATH in .bash_profile but keep getting 'no such file...'
BTW, how can I copy the text of any output from a console -- in KDE -- and
paste it when writing these posts? I've tried redirecting them to a text file.

Jeff, this is actually quite easy to do with PPP. Simply read the
documentation and refer back to here for more help. I noticed that
someone later mentions Squid, but unless you only want HTTP/FTP/Gopher
traffic to cross the link it's not the solution.
FYI, before we brought in the "big gear" I connected our remote
offices to our main office via PPP so that we could share files and
email. Worked great, and was only $35/month per office for the
phone-line!

Someone may be able to explain the difference. But in practice it

Found out the opposite a while ago -- there was a Mandrake rpm
that would have been convenient but the thing was so loaded with
conflicts that it wasn't worth the trouble. Wish offhand I could
remember which one.

I've been using Samba, ipchains (ipfwadm), and PPP for years in a
small network. Once samba is set up
http://plug.phoenix.az.us/step-by-step/samba/toc.html look for some
working examples of tcp wrappers (hosts.allow, hosts.deny, ipchains)
unless you're really into man pages. The how to's also help, but
many web sites give working examples which are much easier for me to
understand.

You'll have to "translate" for Slackware, but on a RedHat box
these are in the textutils package:
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/head
textutils-2.0a-2
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/cut
textutils-2.0a-2
