WHAT A WEEK--I had forgotten how EASY Linux is; it was hell until I
installed glibc! Thanks everyone, for your patience!
Thanks Richard, for your info. about my X font server FAILURE. What is xfs,
though? I am tempted to follow your advice: as long as it works--don't mess
with it. One thing I am not sure about, and I'm hoping you, or someone else
running Red Hat 6 with X can answer my next Q: When the blue X login screen
appears, I see a Red Hat logo. The hat on the logo IS RED--for only a
split-second. When I see this red hat turn black/dark grey, I wonder if it
might be due to a problem with my X server or something (or X font server,
maybe?) Or is that just the way this logo appears? Any ideas? I wonder if
something appears unusual, it may be a symptom of some underlying problem.
Bogdan, I did a make bzImage, because make zImage resulted in too large a
file. What's this about zlilo, however? Where shall I go from here? BTW,
can you explain the zImage resulting message:
>Boot sector 512 bytes.
>Setup is 1300 bytes.
>System is 522 kB
>System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.
Here is the relavent part of my directory listing of
/usr/src/linux/i386/boot, after running bzImage. From what it says here, do
you think bzImage will suffice? >
>[root@localhost boot]# ls -l
><snip>
>-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 537853 Sep 3 18:22 bzImage
BTW, I never did figure out how to install the kernel source from my
CD-ROM. If anyone thinks they can explain that, I'm all ears (or eyes?) I
did download the gzipped tarfile of 2.2.12 and installed it, so it's a bit
late, but I would still like to learn how to do it :-)
Now if I can finish with make zlilo, and figure out how to run my SCSI Zip,
SCSI adapter card, and a SparQ paride.
Again, __thanks_everybody__ for being patient. Wish me luck!
