i wish i could, but that seems to presuppose that i know where exactly
that partition started and ended.
the table roughly looke like this before: [hda = 240heads / 63 sect /
1754 cyl]
hda1 6gig vfat (primary)
hda2 2.5gig ext2 (extended - contained hda5-7)
hda3 2.5gig ufs (extended/slice)
hda4 900meg ext2 (primary
hda5 /boot i think, 15meg
hda6 swap, 42meg
hda7 / 2.5gig
i am not totally sure about the order in extended hda2.
hda5 might have been swap, or /.
now i only got this:
hda1 4.2gig vfat (primary)
the file i am looking for is in the old hda7 (or / anyway).
so it can not have been overwritten.
after the partitions were busted by windows (i actually think scandisk
did it, cause it complained a whole lot, and thought i tried installing
win on a NTFS, error: SU0013) i removed them all in fdisk in linux.
why? because fdisk said that all partitions did not end on cylinder
boundary.
about hda2 it said: phys=(0, 13, 10) should be phys=(0, 239, 63)
how is phys interpreted?
so i tried running findpart.
'findpart all' and 'findpart 1' gives same output:

as you see it only finds one thing in addition to hda1.
something that seems to be 723meg?
does that tell me anything??

It seems as the Linux partitions might have been made using a 255
heads or 16 heads translation, since they were not found so far. Next
you can do this from pure DOS:
findpart pm heads 255 fp-a.txt
If this does not show the Linux partitions, you also can do this:
findpart pm heads 16 fp-b.txt
Post the content of the output file(s).
Since the BIOS does not recognize the full disk, the search is done on
pm (primary master).

Great advice. I am going to go see if the box has room for another
drive. What if it doesn't? ftping could work then. I would just copy the
partition layout and then just ftp it all. Do you know the command for
me to find out what partitions are mounted on what drives?

That's the common workaround , that also solved that problem here.
But how to prevent telnetd to do a reserve DNS for the telnet clients

Which distribution? Several companies each provide several editions of
Linux. Some of the major companies are Red Hat, SuSE, Caldera, Debian,
Slackware, Mandrake, Corel, . . .
The main difference between Standard and Professional (I believe Red
Hat and SuSE at least both use these terms) is the amount of extra
software (some free, some limited use/feature demos) that's bundled on
additional CDs included with the package. Professional offers a lot
more than Standard. If you just want a workstation with a GUI, the GNU
compiler suite, office productivity software, and a www browser,
Standard editions should be sufficient. If you have a fast/cheap
internet connection, you can find and download (almost) all the extras
that would have been included on the additional Professional CDs,
though some may only be available as source code.

I have a IBM x20 thinkpad which has intel's speed step technology. I am
running slackware with linux 2.4.0-test11 and found something
interesting.
When I boot the machine on battery /proc/cpuinfo reports the CPU as a
400 Mhz chip, but when booting on AC it reports it correctly as 600Mhz.
Does anyknow know the any of the linux kernels support this speedstep
technology? or is proc/cpuinfo obtained @ boot and not updated again?

RH has a file called /etc/redhat-release (IIRC), which tells you what
version it is.
Otherwise,
man uname

Boot into linux if it is still on the drive and remove the partitions with
linux fdisk. If you can't boot, then you could download and install Tom's
Linux and put that on a floppy. Then put it in the drive and boot. Once in
Tom's, run 'fdisk /dev/hda' and delete the partitions that linux is on.
If you can boot into linux, before deleting the partitions, do
'/sbin/lilo -u' to recover the mbr as it was before linux. If you have to
use Tom's to boot, then you can use dos 'fdisk /mbr' to restore the mbr.

Likewise here with one critical exception. X 4.0.1 does *not*
support the Savage 4 chipset. While there are beta drivers here
and there, they seem to be a touch flaky on my system (I
couldn't get anything greater than 1280x1024 to work, although I
routinely use 1600x1200 under X3).
So, if you're content with either using X 3.3.x or waiting until
X 4.0.2 (which *may* have S4 support) to appear, then the S540
is a fine card. I've enjoyed mine.

Subject: help: enlightenment as session manager
hi
i currently use gnome+enlightenment. until recently, i ran
'gnome-session' as my session manager, but due to a conflict with
another program, i now run enlightenment as my session manager, and i've
set 'panel' and 'gmc' to load automatically when enlightenment starts
up.
A problem arises when shutting down enlightenment. Merely logging out of
enlightenment terminates gmc and panel by breaking the X connection to
these applications ie. panel and gmc are not shut down properly. I've
found that killing gmc with SIGTERM works. however, i cant do the same
with panel since apparently, every applet needs to be shutdown first.
I've written a script to identify all the currently used applets, but
when i try to shut them down, a message pops up on the screen asking if
i want to reload the applet. Hence, i'm unable to successfully shut down
panel.
Is there any other way of properly shutting down panel? I hate having to
improperly terminate it everytime i log out of X.
thanks

Have you got the script in the correct directory. On my debian system on shutdown the
