Or he could do what I did and do a RH6.2 partitionless install so he
won't
have to screw with his Win9x partition and installation. That way,
when
he's done training with RH he can simply delete two files from his
FAT32
root directory and go back to the way he was prior to installing
linux
without any hassles.

It is but Im personally farting around with RH 6.1 because it will
let you
do a partitionless install. ie. you don't have to screw up your
Win9x
installation to use it. I think Mandrake is much friendlier to set
up and
use though as I used it for about a week just for the hell of it.

Don't buy anything! That's the beuty of Linux, it's all free.
Download an
iso file (might take a few days) and have somebody with a CD Burner
burn you
a bootable CD. If you have an older PC that does not boot from the
CD then
the CD itself will have a utility to make a boot disk on it so all
you need
is the CD itself.

necessarily.

From: Ron Griffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have just installed the glib 1.2.8 on my machine. The GTK++ that I
am trying
to install next gives me the following....
'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.8 but GLIB (1.2.5)
was found! If glib-config was correct, then it is best
to remove the old version of GLIB. You may also be able to fix the
error
by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable GLIB-CONFIG
to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file
config.cache
before re-running configure.
Now, I did everything to track down and remove an old version
(couldn't find
any) so I deleted /usr/local/lib/glib and re-installed the library.
deleted
the config.cache file from the GTK++ library and keep getting the
same thing!
I have no clue what to do to modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
I'm trying
to learn this stuff but the learning curve is killing me!
Thanks in advance,

Now, instead of getting kppp out of your system, it is easier just to

Subject: Cant create a partition with disk druid?? (newbie
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:13 GMT
From: "Trent Cook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi again,
I figured the best way to get out of my linux mess, was a complete
fresh
install. Guess not, cause here is my problem:
I have 2 hard drives: one 13gig cut up for windows and one 5gig cut
up for
linux.
The problem is that I can only create a swap partion on my 5 gig
drive. I
have deleted all partitions in fdisk, disk druid, linux fdisk,
delpart etc
etc and every time I come to disk druid in the setup. It says that I
have
100% free space on my 5 gig drive, but when I try to create a /boot
or a /
root drive it says there isnt enough space.
Oddly enough I can create swap files (as many , or as big as I want
with the
5 gig drive?)
Why cant I make any other drives? I tried creating them with fdisk
and
converting to linux but no go.
I did an Fdisk /mbr as well (just cause i ran out of things to try)
but
nothing.
So I guess Linux doesnt want to go on my machine, but I am sure that
there
must be something I can do.....isnt there?
Please Help!

If you just want to get it working use the tulip.o in
/lib/modules/<kerner
version>/net, rather than compiling your own. The de4x5.o driver is
an
alternative.
Installing the kernel source should help with header files etc.

Kernel 2.0 stuff here. These different kernel versions use different
library
revisions, AFAIK it aint gonna work. Your distribution should have a
pre-compiled tulip driver (locate tulip.o will find it if you are
running
slocate) otherwise look in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/net.
Dont bother compiling your own driver unless you need to. If you are
having
problems with tulip.o try dc4x5.o

Generally /var/log/wu-ftpd, but if they aren't there then you might
want
to mention what distribution you're using (as it may vary across
distributions). Log files in general are almost always in /var/log
somewhere, though.

Hi,
Thanks for being helpful. To the question is there any reason I
can't login
in as normal user? and su? It's seems that su can't do a lot of
things.
The root remote login won't be enable all the time. It will be
enable when
the user of that particular workstation give the permission to
helpdesk to login
in as root to do havoc. So I need to write a script for this feature.
I hope it
is as simple as I think.
About the ssh. where can I get it? Did it come in Red Hat 6.2 power
tools cd?
It's ok. I think the web search is powerful enough.
Since in Red Hat 6.2 I an't uncomment /etc/securetty in it's
/etc/login.defs. I
need to rename it to be able to login. Am I right?

Do you know how to go to your mboard bios? Normally, you need to
press the
"del " key at boot up. After the memory detection. Then go look for
advance,
and look around for pnp os. Disable it.
Save and exit.
And if you have the correct module or driver compile into your
kernel. Then
everything shall be fine.

does your kernel support ATAPI/CDROM protocols?
Was there a CDROM in the drive?
is the ISO9660 fs supported?
just a few places to start.

Subject: Modem connects, problems with Netscape, telnet, etc,(Where is my mind?)
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:14 GMT
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Paul Eisenberg)
Hey! I finally got my a modem to work and connect with my Internet
Server after using the following line
setserial /dev/ttyS2 auto_irq autoconfig
It then seems to dial fine after putting a # sign in front of auth on
the /etc/ppp/options(i think correct path). Now after I connect and
it logs in I am unable to use Netscape, telnet, or anything else. It
seems like I'm not connected at all. I tried pinging, telnet, etc,
etc, on many sites. I also used another account besides root since I
read Corel disables Internet browsing with the root account. Any
help
would be great. I also am curious as how to make the setserial line
above load up every time? I think I edit the /etc/rc.boot/0setserial
but I'm not sure if that is correct, and what to edit. Any help
would
be great! Thanks! Take Care. Paul

Subject: After reboot, X can start by startx, but when started automatically,it
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:14 GMT
From: "Mingyi Liu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm using Redhat6.0. I recently shutdown linux using ctrl-alt-del and
it
caused a problem: After the X started up automatically (I configured
it to
do so), it hanged at grey screen and only mouse is functional. I got
kind
help here and took the suggestion to use ctrl-alt-F1 to go to
console, after
which I used Xconfigurator to prevent X start automatically. Then
after I
log in through console and try startx, X started without any glitch
(even
though my desktop now has a lot of icons that I don't remember I had
before)! However, I can never let X start automatically (it will hang
there
without letting me log in), I can only log in through console and
start X
later. Why is that? Is there some loadup script not working, then
which one
could it be?
Thanks.

Actually, he *seems* to have lilo already set up. so he just needs to
run
/sbin/lilo and all _should_ be well. . . .

Subject: SCSI Module Help
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:14 GMT
From: Nick <buronf*nospam*@clarkson.edu>
I am trying to setup RedHat 6.2 on a system, 486DX4-100, 24MB
memory.. I
have a 3com NIC, a symbios IDE/FDC Card, a Cirrus Logic VGA Card and
an
Adaptec AVA-1505 SCSI card.
I am trying to do a network install and when I try to add the module
for
the scsi card (aha152x) It doesn't work. However when I try to
specify
the module parameters. aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1. I get a kernel panic
that
says interrupt handlers - not syncing. I have tried all the IRQ's on
the
card (it's jumpered) 09,10,11,12. And none seem to make any
difference.
RHat says the card is supported. Maybe there is something I am
missing.
Thanks very much for your help.
