Hello all,
This should be a real simple question for someone.
I am running Redhat 6.2 and wish to upgrade to the latest rawhide system.
How do I do an FTP install? Is there a special application that I invoke?

Terry,
Every distribution I've seen has what you need on the installation CD.
First, there are several types of boot diskettes. One way is to take
your DOS boot diskette, copy from the CD the loadlin.exe file and the
correct image file, and boot your machine with it. That would cause dos
to boot, and then at an a: prompt, you would invoke the loadlin.
Another way is to boot into your linux and use the command another
poster has listed. Yet another way is to use the DOS utility called
rawrite to take the correct image file and create a linux bootable
diskette.
Another way to boot into linux from dos or windows is to run the
loadlin.exe from the hard drive while in dos or windows.
Most of these utilities I've mentioned are found on your install CD
somewhere, (often in /dosutils /images /disks) or at some other
location. If you use a Multi-CD distribution, check your documentation
for the location of the utilities. Many distros, like SuSE, include
more utilities like fips for dynamic partitioning/resizing DOS
networking client software, m$windoz Xclients, bootlin and loadlin, and
much more.
All of these have documentation on their use and syntax, readmes, etc.
Most distros also have a readme file in the rood directory of the
install cd, telling where to find everything on the CD.

Valentin Guillen

I seem to remember a limit to the size of a usable swap space. You can make multiple
swap
partitions though.
I like to keep the swap equal to the RAM I have installed. It's RISC.
It looks like you have 64Mb RAM and about 100Mb swap. Good luck!

First thing you need to do is create a fresh, new dos boot diskette.
Test it. Make sure that you can boot another machine with the
diskette. Make sure that you have basic dos executables available on
the diskette, executables like format.com, fdisk.exe sys.com etc. You
NEED to have the executables which you're likely to need on the
diskette.
Next, sit down and try to remember. You need to remember! You need to
remember if you changed, in your initial desperation, the boot sequence
setting in your bios. You have someplace in bios the setting to select
the search order for boot devices after post. If you were installing
linux, it may be safe for me to assume that your bios WAS set for
booting off of the Linux install CD. Maybe that was the default. Maybe
you changeded it. Maybe I'm wrong. In any case, you must set it to
search for a floppy BEFORE it searches for any other boot device.
Make sure your bios is set to "know that it's supposed to have a
floppy".
So now, remember this: utilities which alter to the boot record, like
linux's lilo, and windoz install, both "secretly" save any existing info
before doing their "altering". So that means that if theres an issue
i.e. a great big problem, you can issue a command to "back out" or undo
the last change made to the Master Boot Record.
So, you could boot the computer with the boot diskette you made, and
issue this dos command at the a: prompt fdisk /mbr That will cause
the dos fdisk program to "write back the prior master boot record".
So don't panic, and think through each action before you do anything.
The last thing you need to do is to destroy your windoz data by taking
stabs in the dark.
Keep us posted!

Make sure your smb.conf has at least one public or other share available. I
include one to share mp3s with my win98 box that I maintain on my linux box
and I share my home directories since I have a few systems at home here on a
network. I use debian potato here and the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is quite

Try giving it a mount point also. I would try mount /mnt/floppy or create a
/floppy mount point if that's easier. ARe you attempting to mount DOS or
ext2 formatted floppies? If you just want to read a floppy, perhaps the
mtools would work better? Try man mtools. I found for dos floppy
operations they are pretty nice.

What distro are you using? Are you typing "startx" to start X? If so, try
creating a .xinitrc in your home directory and put one line in it that says:
exec fvwm2
If you have gnome installed, try putting in "exec gnome-session" and see
what happens. If you have windowmaker installed try it in the .xinitrc by
inserting an "exec wmaker" I am assuming you are booting in runlevel 3 here.

Apache should work on any interface, internal or external (mine does).
A trailing slash is required for any URL that does not end with a
filename. Maybe you are using an incomplete (invalid) URL like
http://192.168.0.1 and apache is redirecting you to corrected URL
http://server_name/ which your internal box cannot find by name.
See apache docs for 'UseCanonicalName' and 'ServerName'.

Try this. Download a smaller program to compile. I have good luck
compiling something like mutt; the email reader if you do not have it
already installed. The trick here is to let the developer do the work that
was intended. The initial script that the INSTALL readme will tell you to
run will go out and find those pesky libs everywhere or attempt to. The
first step is to run the "configure" script and let it step through things.
It will then either tell you that things are okay or that it could not find
some requirement. A common one with X applications is not finding the X
devel files. These are contained on the redhat cd actually usually called
something like Xdevel...rpm. If the configure program reports it cannot
find make, automake, or autoconf, thats a clue to stop right there and get
the redhat cd out and install those using rpm commands.
There are a few programs I have found to be rather enjoyable to compile.
One is slrn after doing a libslang install. It just motors right through
and its fun to have the library to see compile first and then do the actual
newsreader and see your compile date show up when you are done! Another one
that is interesting to watch is enlightenment. I always like some of the
comments I see flashing by the screen; like "searching for mass quantities
of bass ale in the fridge". Another cool one to compile is windowmaker
because it has a dependency on libproplist. There are yet others which I
have enjoyed to do. I compiled xhcat the irc client a few times and like it
immensely and I also have compiled Pan a few times. Once I compiled
Ghostscript and have done an X server a few times. I didn't particularly
care for either of those compiles...
I would pick a program which may be an easy compile based on what it does or
perhaps if you use gnome a smaller gnome applet or something and give it a
try. Don't worry about all the locations unless the configure script cannot
find something and its actually there. When I use rpm systems a lot, I
would install a library from tarball sources only to have a rpm program
complain it could not find the library. Of course, it was not in the rpm
database!

Most of you won't think is a problem, but I can't install Windows on my
computer. I had SuSE Linux on a 2 gig partition, using LILO to boot. I
deleted the partition using FDISK, formatted and SYS'd the drive using a
bootable DOS disk. I go through the whole NT setup procedure, but when
I reboot, all I get are the letters "LI" in the corner of the screen,
and it stops there.
How can I write over the master boot record and fix this?
By the way the only reason I need NT is to use a Quicknet Line Jack

I think that your Web server may be configured to respond to the IP address
which is assigned to the public network interface card. Check httpd.conf and
magnus.conf. It's been a while since I configured Netscape Enterprise Server,
or Apache, but I think you find the answer in one of these file.
Can you bring up the Web page via the public address, over the DSL line (eg.
http://217.12.50.1/)?

Subject: Redhat Rawhide FTP install problems
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Stephen Biggs)
Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2000 05:06:27 GMT
Hello all,
I am trying to install/upgrade my Redhat 6.2 system to be Rawhide.
I made the boot and driver disks from the images. It booted just fine, but
when I tried to give it the network card driver (DEC 21143 which is bound
to eth0 as de4x5), trying all flavors of the DEC drivers including de4x5
gives me back "failed to insert * module", where * is either de4x5 or
tulip.
Are there options I would need to feed to this driver and if so, in which
file would I find them in my current Redhat install (/etc directory?)
