Besides all that next and previous stuff, when you're in vi
you can start editing any other file by using the command
:e otherfile
and you can go back by using the command
:e #
Once you've done that, you can go back and forth between two files
with the same command.

What isn't working?
I had a problem a while ago where I could listen to CDs, but couldn't
play MP3s on a COL eDesktop 2.4 system. I tried playing with IRQ & DMA
settings, all that stuff. Couldn't get it to work.
I decided to try OSS. You just have to uninstall all of your current
sound modules, and then install OSS. Worked the first time. Definitely
worth $20.

Two quick questions:
My BIOS (old Award 4.51pg) only recognizes 8.5 gigs of my new 20 gig
drive. Will Linux "see" the entire drive anyway?
What is the best way to partition this? My current partitioning scheme
with a 4 gig drive is a swap of 128M and the rest given to /. (yeah, I
know--mistake)
Since I'm going to re-install new on the 20 gig, what's the
recommended partition scheme?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: boot record disaster -- help!
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 18:28:16 GMT
I have (had) LILO in the MBR, with linux and win98 as the options. Today,
when I went to reboot, instead of getting the normal LILO screen I got
"Starting ONTRACK . . ." followed by a blue box identifying Seagate
Technology Inc - DiscWizard, DDO v 9.50, followed after a couple of blank
lines with the letters LI.
I booted linux with a boot disk and made sure lilo.conf was correct, showing
that I was booting from hda, then ran Lilo hoping that it would reinstall
lilo.conf in the MBR, but with no luck. I should add that while in linux I
can access the C:drive's dos/windows files as normal, so if there is a drive
problem it's limited to the MBR.
I had done nothing out of the ordinary to have caused this disaster. Does
anyone have any ideas as to how I can get lilo back, or some other boot
loader installed? Thanks.

I'm no expert on RAID but I'm pretty sure you cannot add to RAID0 without
wiping it all and starting again. You can, however, create a second RAID0
array on the 2 new drives as /dev/md1

I've just upgraded to Xfree86 version 4.0.3 (to accomodate a new graphics
card) and now StarOffice causes the machine to lock-up completely - the
only solution being a reboot. The lock-up happens on the first or second
mouse action after StarOffice starts. No other program seems to give any
problems.
I'm running RedHat 7.0 with kernel 2.2.17.
Any ideas please ?

how does windows know what time it is? it asks you. lie. tell
windows you live in greenwich england and don't believe in daylight

Don't know, but if it helps - LI according to the LILO docs means:
1st stage bootloader was able to load 2nd stage but couldn't execute it.
Caused either by a geometry mismatch (bad disk parameters) or by moving
/boot/boot.b without running the map installer.
Boot with a floppy and see if theres any corruptions to the disk system or
if the /boot/boot.b file has been munged.

1)
in /etc/lilo.conf , add the line:
lba32
Then run /sbin/lilo -v -v to activate the changes.
2) dunno....I never installed linux on a 20 GbHD

Subject: kernel can't load ppp or nfs
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 19:55:14 +0100
Hi,
Having downloaded the kernel source for 2.4.2 I went through the normal
procedure of
make config
make dep
make bzimage
make modules
make modules_install
I then copied the bzimage to my /boot directory and run /sbin/lilo to add
the new kernel in.
When I boot from my old kernel 2.2.16-22 installed as part of rh7 I can
access the internet through rp3 and I can mound my nfs shares on another
machine
However with the new kernel 2.4.2 I can't do either of these. It would
appear this is because I've either not installed or not configured some
concerning the use of modules. I enusred that in config that module support
is enbaled.
I noticed that RH have created the following files in the /boot directory
which all the kernel howto's mention nothing about, these are
vmlinux-2.2.16-22
module-info-2.2.16-22
system.map-2.2.16-22
Do I need to update these files in any way.
I've updated the these components in order to agree with the readme document
gcc 2.96.69
gnu make 3.79.1
binutils 2.10.90
util-linux 2.10m
modutils 2.4.2
e2fsprogs 1.19
ppp 2.4.0b2-2
Both isdn and pcmcia-cs are not used on this pc so I didn't check them for
version as they are compiled out of the kernel.
Any ideas on what should be checked, downloaded or upgraded would be
appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply. I can check boot.b, but how do I check to see if
there are any corruptions to the disk system?
I should add that I haven't a clue what the ONTRACK stuff from Seagate is
all about, but it's not mine. My guess is that it appear on blank disks
from Seagate, but if it's in the MBR why didn't lilo (and everything that
preceded it in the MBR) wipe it out?

The fundamentals: what is the name of the driver of yoru ethernet card,
and is it loaded? And if not, what happens when you load it? (I would
guess that the name of the driver has changed, if you are using a
realtek card).

You're assigning the output from the command "ifconfig eth0" to STATIC_IP. If
you ran ifconfig eth0 on the command line you'd see that output is much more
than the IP address. E.g.
>> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx

See above...
>> 2) how to fix ???
You'll need to search for the inet addr in your "ifconfig eth0" output. In the
example that someone else has thoughtfully provided, it uses a "regular
expression" and the awk program to find the address.
Try this:
> ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet addr:"
You'll get a line containing:
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:y.y.y.y Mask:255.255.254.0
where x.x.x.x is your IP address for eth0.
Still not quite home yet. Now you'll need to figure out how to grab the x.x.x.x
without the rest of the line. In the script, awk is used. Broken down it says:
-F: means use the : as the field separator
{'print $2'} means print the second field of the input line
If you try this on the command line you'd get:
x.x.x.x Bcast
Still not what you wanted? So he pipes the output through the cut utility. It
breaks down to using a space as the delimiter and printing the first field.
Which leaves:
x.x.x.x

Subject: How to get linux to see printer?
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 19:38:21 +0000 (UTC)
I have RH6.1 with the 2.2.12 kernel on a 233mmx box, dual boot with
win95. I've just hooked up a Desk Jet 500 printer, printtool has this model
listed (this is one of HP's oldest inkjet printers), but cannot autodetect
the printer. Since it doesn't see the printer (it's on the first
printer port, lp0), trying test print direct to the port from
printtool returns an error "no such device". Booting into win95 and setting
up the printer there and making a test print shows the printer and
connection are OK.
What do I need to do to get linux to see the printer?

just make sure the /boot partition ( the whole of it ) is visible from the
bios ( within the first 8 gigs ) .
once the kernel boots, you will be fine.
I'm running a 27gig hdd, and only the /boot ( with the kernel , boot loader
etc ) is within the 8 gig boundary.
/, /usr, swap etc are all beyond the 8 gig area
Got win98, 2k, and 2.2.17 kernel.Am using the boot loader from rh 6.0 with
the 1024 cylinder limit .
later.

I was referring to the forms of RAID which provide redundancy. They
all do so at some cost in performance, relative to using the same
number of disks in a non-RAID configuration.
You are referring to the forms of RAID that combine disk drives to
increase the usable size of a filesystem. While technically these are
RAID configurations, they are not what most people mean when they
discuss RAID, which is 'REDUNDANT Array of Inexpensive/Independent
Disks'.
You seem to be intentionally focussing on the atypical RAID
implementations in order to justify insults.
