You should be able to do that. I booted SuSE 7.0 from a floppy
for a while, /boot started about 9 gigs into my HD.

It is a shame the support that real.com gives to Linux. Nice way to
payback to the work horse of their servers. They do take full advantage
of the hard work of linux developers.

What I usually do is mount the image then burn to cd. Works everytime.

It's quite easy to find these out by experiment, though; there are only
four possibilities (two each for h and vsync), after all :)

Here is my bit
Linux is monolitic because Linus found it easier that way, Windows ! Pah !
its about as monolithic as it gets, in fact because of performance issues
the entire GDI was pulled into the central kernel to improve throughput!
There is only one great micro kernel and for the life of me I cannot
understand why the hell it was not ported to I386......Amiga OS is a pinacle
for micro kernel architecture and long will it remain so !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have tried 3 different kinds.
Immation 1x-12x CD-R 80min 700MB got 1 to work
Off wall brand CD-R 80min 700MB got 0 to work
Immation 1x-16x CD-R 80min 700MB got 0 to work
FujiFilm 1x-4x CD-RW 74min 650MB got 0 to work
They all work without any problems with Data and will even play audio on
the computer CD players.
I have tried burning from .wav .cdr and converting .mp3 on the fly to
CD and still can't get any to work other than the first one I did.

Subject: Debian Boot question

Ok, here's my problem:
I have the debian image already burned to a cd... but, my BIOS is not setup
to allow booting from CD-ROM (it's a phoenix BIOS but I can't seem to get
into the setup..). So, I was planning on just using a rescue floppy to do
the initial boot, and I thought it would then let me specify the cd media to
complete the installation... but it doesn't seem to be doing this. I get
the the boot: prompt and press [enter], but after a few pages of hardware
stuff and a few more pressings of enter, I get a kernel panic (eep).
So, I guess what I'm trying to ask is: do I need other floppies besides
just the one with rescue.bin to get to the `dbootstrap' setup?
Thanks in advance

It never crossed your mind they're being able to use some
shared code on Windows which does not exist on Linux due
to it's nature of not integrating everything and the kitchen
sink into the OS ?

If your ISP is running on Unix hardware, they are likely running a
time server. Call them up and ask which machine. Expect long silences.

Did you by any chance try to activate logging? Just add a -l (that's a
lower-case ell) to the relevant rules (maybe even to all rules, to be on the
safe side, but be warned, large amount of internet traffic will generate
numerous entries in the log-file). If you want to log everything, make sure
the last rule in each chain (input, output, and forward) is either
"ipchains -A chain-name -l -j ACCEPT" if the policy of the chain is accept
and "ipchains -A chain-name -l -j DENY" if the policy of the chain is deny.
Try the action that failed and go through the log-file ("/var/log/messages"
for my system) and look for the DENY or REJECT lines matching the host that
gives you the problems. Hopefully this will give you sufficient information
to solve your problem. If you cannot solve your problem after this, you
might try to post the relevant lines of the log-file (be careful to post
only the relevant lines and for your own sake, mask or change the external
IP-numbers so as not to expose yourself to attacks).

Use a search-engine to look for "public ntp secondary time server" - you
should find http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm
You should use a secondary rather than a primary time server.

This is a primary time server - you should use a secondary time server
