Why not add a second disc. Linux does not need to boot from the first
one,
would avoid having to copy your existing stuff across too.

It used to be called 'bin86'. Some other distributions, like Debian,
still use this name.

People rarely ask questions about dual-booting between Linux and Linux
[1], because it's much less difficult than dual-booting between Linux
and Windows. Dealing with questions about the latter often requires
experience of both operating systems, plus a grounding in how boot
loaders in general work.
[1] Which I assume is what you meant, because it's the only way I can
make any sense out of your point.

Subject: RH 7.0 | xinetd.conf query | qpopper
Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2000 18:42:38 GMT
First of what I suspect will be a series of annoying queries about
setting up xinetd.conf. Just when I got used to inetd.conf, alongs
comes something new - figures....
So, I want to have qpopper (the Qualcomm popper) start with a system
reboot. In the good old days (i.e., with inetd.conf), all I had to do
was add:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/popper qpopper -s
Now, apparently, I need to add something to xinetd.conf (wioch for the
moment has very little if anything in it).
I've tried adding
service pop-3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/bin/in.qpopper
server_args = -s
log_on_failure += USERID
}
but this doesn't seem to have worked (whenever I try to connect to the
server, I get a 'connect refuse' error.
Any suggestions? Of course, I'm sure all these 'enhancements' are
supposed to make my life simpler.

You're using an ordinary "passive" hub, not a switch. Thus, your network
behaves like a single network segment for the purposes of packet
visibility, since it's cheaper to build hardware that just copies
everything everywhere than it is to build hardware that inspects the
address of each packet to work out where to send it.
If for some reason this is a problem, you'll have to buy a switch
instead.
A quick Google search found http://www.dansdata.com/network.htm, which
seems quite good as an introduction to networking.

For some reason your boot loader is telling Linux to mount its root
filesystem from /dev/sda3 (which has a device major number of 8 and a
device minor number of 3, hence 08:03), that is, the third partition on
your first SCSI hard disk. Since you don't have a SCSI hard disk, this
is unlikely to work very well.
You should point your boot loader at the right partition for your root
filesystem. For instance, if it's the second primary partition on your
first IDE hard disk, you want /dev/hda2; if it's the first logical
partition, you want /dev/hda5. The numbers should correspond to the
partition numbers in fdisk. Assuming you're using LILO, once you get
into Linux you can change the root= line in /etc/lilo.conf and run
'/sbin/lilo -v' as root; in order to boot Linux in the first place you
can type 'linux root=/dev/hda2' or whatever instead of just 'linux' at
the LILO boot prompt.

In followup - I've also tried starting popper manually, from the
command line - nada. Can't seem to get it to load, which I suspect
means something fundamental needs to be done.
I've scanned all the prots on my server, and POP# refuses to show up.
This took seconds under RH 6.0. Sigh...I love 'upgrades'. :-)

I used the source code from RedHat 6.2 to rebuild kernel 2.2.14. Everything
was fine until I did "make zlilo" or "make bzImage". After compiling for a
while, both commands returned the same message: "as86: Command not found".
Indeed I couldn't find "as86" on the machine where I was doing the rebuild.
Could me anyone tell me which package "as86" belongs to so that I can
install it? Or rather the problem was caused by something else?

Where do I go to or to who(m) do I seek help from, I would like to set
up a learning based 486 dx66 64 MB machine for my teenagers to learn
some basics on. We currently have a MS network with Win 95,98,ME and
2000/NT adsl connected machines. but I would like them to learn more
than how to point and click. Ive tried an old DOS box but with out
network ability its no use. I have tried rh6.2 and it was very nice
the netscape browser and lack of Agent newsreader sent them back to a
windows world. But some command line basics, then add in a chat
feature, alittle xms mp3 and I may have them hooked. But first the
basics .

Hi,
I want to build a new dual processor system. I just wondered if
anyone's got any experience in this field? Rough idea on specs 2x 600Mhz
processors, G400 AGP graphics card, 3DFX card 20Gb HDD and A
motherboard. Which is the crunch point. What motherboard? I want to get
something the Linux gets on well with, and would be a nightmare to set
up. Any suggestions?
While I'm one the subject of SMP. Is it possible, like in VMS, to force
the system to run a certain process on a certain processor? If I don't
how does the Kernel decide where to place a process? Does it just simple
give it to the CPU which has the least work to do? Finally do you see
good performance improvements?
Any thoughts appreciated
Many thanks

It's kinda like upgrading your modem. The faster it works, the more
you tend to do with it. At 1200 baud, the most you did was run a dumb
terminal and maybe download a file, but *not* while you were reading the
bulletin board messages. At 56Kbps, you read usenet while grabbing Linux
upgrades as a routine cron job, and chat on IRC and ICQ all at the same
time. You add more swap space to keep up with your increased capabilities,
and you use double your RAM so you can literally switch from one computing
session to another, from one video frame to the next, etc... It won't stop
until computers are able to predict what we want, and can give it to us
before we even want it. <grins>

So what's your question? You can read news with emacs, pine, and slrn
to name a few.
Teach them about network security. use the 486 and set up a firewall
with it. You don't need graphics with that. Add two nic cards, make it
a router. Add dhcp to giv the rest of the lan ip addresses. Configure
samba. Make the 486 a file/print server. Configure fetchmail on it and
make it an email server.
