not exactly what you are looking for, but someone has to be the first to
try. Check the hardware to see if it's similar to an earlier model.

You can do a "ps -ef"..." |less" (pipe to 'less') which will let you scroll

I think the bat is still the way to go. It will get anyone *very* good
understanding of how sendmail works (or put them to sleep - that's a
test for a sendmail admin... ;). The new features... Well, they're
somewhat useful, but only if You know what the old ones are. And You can
get a very good discussion of them on sendmail site. Hard to take it on
the subway, plane, or just to the toilet. Gimme the bat. It works. The
mail *must* get through!

Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 04:06:45 GMT
Solution Found! By removing the power plug from my hard drive, my
computer successfully booted from DOS floppy. So I used cfdisk to
remove all Linux partitions and, voila, I was able to boot DOS from my
hard drive.
1) Why did the hard drive prevent the computer from booting from floppy?
2) What do I have to do different next time I install Linux to prevent
this from happening again?

Subject: HTML print processor
Date: 14 Dec 2000 04:18:30 GMT
I'm looking for a utility that will process HTML for printing. Perhaps
a HTML -> PCL5 or HTML -> PS converter. The idea is that I want to be
able to print web documents from the command line without having to filter
them though Netscape in an X session.
I looked though freshmeat, but to no avail. Perhaps some unlikely utility
like TexInfo is the key. I'm not sure.
I'm sure *something* out there will do it.

I have encountered the similar problem. I am using
RH6.2 with Win4Lin kernel. I found that I can only
telnet or rlogin to my account with the root password.
When using the individual password setup for each
account, the telnet said "login incorrect".
I have tested all other accounts I created, they
are behaving in the same way. This problem happens
no matter where you are telneting from, local host
or not.
However rlogin works if you specify the user name
on the command line, eg
rlogin hostname -l username
Otherwise the username and password combination will
not work.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Many thanks,
Hong

Try using mtools. It should be in your distro. Just put a DOS-formatted disk
in the drive (do not mount it), and type "mcopy file.txt a:/" That should do the
trick.

Basically a lot of conversion utilities use the "from2to" format. That

Check the boot order in your CMOS setup. Generally you can specify which
device to look at first when booting. Traditionally, the system checked
for a floppy first, if it didn't find a disk in the drive, it tried next
the hard drive. My computer checks first, the floppy, then CDROM, and last
the IDE hard drive. You can usually mix that order up all you want, though,
so that you don't always have to remove the floppy disk from your computer
every time you reboot.
What I'm guessing happened to you is that your comptuter looked first for a
hard drive, found one and therefore never even checked for a floppy. When
pulled the plug on the hard drive, the computer continued on to the next
device in the boot order: the floppy drive, found it and booted it.
This must be the default CMOS configuration for your system, because
when you reset your BIOS, the configuration stayed as it was. I can't say
I'm surprised: the "NON SYSTEM DISK: REPLACE AND STRIKE ANY KEY" error
get's *very* annoying after the 3,524th time you've accidentally left a disk
in the drive when you reboot; someone got sick of it and decided that no one
really boots off a floppy anyway.
Obviously, I haven't seen your computer, so this is just a guess. But this
much I do know: It's not a Linux issue, and it's not a Windows/DOS issue,
beause the computer has to decide which disk to boot from long before it
knows what OS it's running (or if it's even running one at all).

As mentioned you must temporarily disable the disk in BIOS. Then DOS
will boot, and you can run Findpart as described.

Tyler,
Your analysis is reasonable, however, incorrect. My BIOS has settings
to allow me to independently select 1st boot device, 2nd boot device,
and 3rd boot device. I had set floppy, HD-0, and disabled,
respectively.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that the problem I experienced has something
to do with how DOS and Linux use the master boot record or the partition
table. If I weren't such a Unix newbie, I believe I could determine
exactly what happened and what to do to fix it using the wealth of
available system management tools.

hello,
Re: RH 7.0 .
I am fairly new to linux ,
I had been learning about samba and swat,set up a small network of 8 computers
win98/winntWS/Linux which was running fine,,
just simple file and printer sharing on a "share" level sec.
.An update from RH6 to RH 6.2 went fine.
Then later after updating from RH6.2 to RH 7 ,,, Samba wont start?, Swat can,t be
connected to?All the conf. files in the /etc are either changed or moved or
renamed?
Everytime I reconfigured the .conf files through the Gnome Samba (Gnomba),,
Well it ,,after saving them ,, it doesn,t work,, I reopen them and the changes i
made are not saved? I went round in circles like that,,,,,,,,,,

Hello
Can you tell me how you disabled all the cron jobs in Mandrake?
This is what I have been having trouble with also,machine taken over while
there are
endless cron jobs. While trying to configure stuff in Linuxconf, just when you
do something-bang , off it goes, drives my hdd like a bloody lawnmower -
whats so bad that it needs to do it so much>? thats what i ask.

"In Mand 7.2, which I've just upgraded to, cron seems to be set to do a
whole load of stuff that's not clear to me. The problem with this is that
when I was downloading a file from the net, it kicked in with a massive use
of disk and took over the machine so that the download was aborted. This
is not nice. I've disabled it all. I hope."

Subject: trying to set up a cvs server
Date: 13 Dec 2000 23:11:11 -0800
I read the documentation, and I DID get it to work for system user
names. The docs say though, that cvs sends passwords in the clear.
So, following the directions to set up a cvs passwd file I managed
nothing. I cannot get it to authorise the cvs user.
The passwd file looks like:
anonymous::anoncvs
I have tried numerous permutations,
anonymous:
anonymous:QApIJHaSYjeCK:anoncvs
and others...the above crypt was gotten from a perl script I got from the
"cvs book"....lost the url. According to this site:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC26
the first 2 should have worked!
Would anyone with some experience (got it to work in other words)
please help me out? I have done searches, read the docs...they
all say the same thing....that I have done it right....but then it
should work and it doesn't.
