Actually this is a known problem with linuxconf, don't use it to set up your
Apache server, it will break it! You will need to edit the file by hand, and
check your file permissions. Good luck.

Try aborting the random generator pressing ctrl+c, and see what

Subject: getting close now - how to tell eth0 what irq & port to use, net config basic

Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 14:53:18 +0100
What a bit of luck, I did the ping too early and as it took quite a time for
each of the 4 tries to time-out suddenly I got a reply to 1 out of 4, then
I noticed the message
eth0: Reentering the isr 0x0 0x0
and no more replies to the Ping from W98 to Linux.
I have a Thinkpad 380E and the pcmcia-HOWTO states that the IRQ 5 and port
0x230-0x232F
should be excluded which I did in /etc/networks.o
Can anyone assist please?

There are several different versions of this card, I have an early version of
this card that uses the es1370. I do have what I believe is the module from
someone who got the es1371 to work with his later sb128 here it is.
#alias char-major-14 off

#alias midi off

You either mean 7.02 or 7.1, 7.2 isn't out yet. Yes KDE is used by default,
however it will install many more WM's for you and allow you to choose which to
use. I use 7.02 as a file sharing platform using SAMBA. Not sure if KDE will
be too resource hungry for 48MB or not, you can try it, and try others as well
from the drop down list at GUI login prompt.. If this box is to be used mainly
as a file sharing system there is no need to run a GUI at all, it will run
faster from the CLI. If you don't need a GUI don't use one.

* find another running linux box.

Alright. Yesterday I set up apache as an inetd server on port 8080, and we
were able to connect to it fine and get the web page and all that jazz.
Today nada. We're running through all the config files again, and we've
changed the server back to stand alone, but still no dice. Weird thing is,
we can start and stop httpd and inetd fine, but whenever we try to connect
to the server it says can't connect to remote host. Even from the server
itself (by connecting through lynx to localhost). Any ideas? Thanks in

By this definition, "genuine communist government" is impossible. People's

After I got it booting right, I hooked up the hdd, and rebooted. the

from when I was using the P2 ). Chose linux, and I was at run level 3, as
usual, network was up and running. Logged in, and got into X .
Yup, definitely faster. Enabled dma transfers on the CD, and proceeded to

Time to get operational : How long does it take to boot ? :)
Unfortunately , I can't say the same about windows.

indedido...appending mem=xxxM tells the kernel how much ram you've got.
