Subject: trouble with partitions
Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2000 04:56:00 GMT
In my newbie wisdom, I thought to use an older pc only as a linux
machine. That's right, I completely deleted ALL the DOS partitions! Now
about 2 years later, I want to use the machine for something else and I
cannot undo my error.
The pc is running a basic version of redhat 5.2, (no peripherals, or
added apps) and the only utilities I have are the linux fdisk, and disk
druid. I want to reload the original os (w/95) and then go from there.
Any suggestions?

You might want to look into putty:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Also, tera term has an ssh extension:
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
ssh replaces many of the "r" services like rsh, rcp, etc., but is more
secure as it does not send passwords in plaintext.
You need an ssh server for the Linux side. See www.openssh.com and
rpmfind.net for rpms. RH 7 comes with openssh.

ok I just upgraded to RH 7. How do I tell bash to look in /sbin for
commands? I want to edit my search path but just can't figure out how.

urm, thanks, but I would just like to comment from the point of view of us
off line modem costly time types, we wish these types of references would
have a tiny hint of what their content is given...
as they get put into the giant heap of URLs to check later, with no clue as
if I should put them on the first up to bat heap, or regular heap.

Hi All,
When I telnet/rlogin/ftp my RedHat Linux 6.2 box, I got the
message "telnetd: /bin/login: Exec format error:" and I am not able to
get the logine prompt.
Then I tried from the Console, but when I try to login through any user
and write the username at the login prompt, it comes back to the login
prompt without prompting for password.
I restarted the machine, but still I am facing the same problem.
Please help me.
Regards
Zeshan
