Can the swap partition be on a different drive than the one where linux is
installed?
If yes, how do we do that?
Thanks,
Pete

Yes, use "cp -a". See also the Harddisk-Upgrade-Mini-HOWTO for more
information.

No problem. Just put a line like the following in your /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0
You can also specify more than one swap partition like that, if you
like. If you don't want to reboot after you made your new swap
partition, use swapon. For more infos:
man mkswap
man swapon
man fstab

I have problem with display on the above chipset.
When I try to use the rpm download from Intel site,
I follow the instruction detail from the site, I have the message saying
that:
/var/tmp/rpm -tmp.68911 : made : command not found
Bad exit from status from /var/tmp/rpm -tmp.68911 (0% build)
I am using Redhat 6.2 on my Celeron 400Mhz
What seem to be the problem ?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Subject: How to uninstall boot manager
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 14:03:36 GMT
I just installed Caldera Openlinux on my companies IBM Thinkpad 600e.
I am only trying it out and now need to uninstall linux. I placed the
Boot Manager in the Master boot location (if you know what I mean) and
I assume it will still be there when I get rid of the Linux partition.
How do I get rid of the Boot Manager to that it will boot into windows
automatically?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've run my 'make' and 'make install' but when i come to initializing the
database and running './authsrv', I can't find it. I don't know what to do
to get it.
When i run a make in the auth directory this is what happens
cc -g -o authsrv authsrv.o proto.o db.o pass.o srvio.o ../libauth.a
../libfwall.a
db.o: In function `auth_dbopen':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If anyone knows anything about this it would be very helpful.

Subject: "screen" problems while using a vt320
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 14:16:09 GMT
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use my vt320 terminal with the screen program. Screen
(for anyone who hasn't used it) multiplexes a terminal, sort of like what X
is to running multiple xterms :) I wanted to ask here before bugging the
maintainer of the package.
Screen works just fine from an xterm or the console. But, when I run it from
my vt320 it does nothing, just prints one blank line. It doesn't even start
a new shell, which the man page says is one of the first things it does.
I've tried everything that I know to do, including running the term as a
vt100 (which sucks because I can't page up or down).
I'm using slack 7 and I hope someone can give me some ideas. Plain shell
job control leaves much to be desired. I'm using Screen version 3.09.05.
Thanks for any help. Matthew

firstly welcome to linux!
try ctrl-alt-plus/minus (w/plus on your keypad)
you can use several tools (one is called Xconfigurator) to play with the
X settings
you can edit the XF86 configuration file in /etc to train X to start
with the resolution you want
also read the how-to's. they contain _very_ usefull information.
