My system uses IDE drives so the devices will have to change:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5-xfs
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda6
other=/dev/hda2
label=fbsd
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/hda3
label=sun
table=/dev/hda
Solaris takes over the MBR and will multi-boot any other OS's which also
reside on its drive. You might be able to modify the Solaris boot
selector. But lilo seems to work here. You do have to execute /sbin/lilo
after configuring /etc/lilo.conf.

I got the installer to run OK but it choked when running the database
configuration assistant on the "demo" instance. Wound up installing RH-6.2
over my Windoze 98SE partition to get the installation to run to completion.
But with the environment changes recommended by Red Hat in their
RELEASE-NOTES, I can run dbastudio with no problems from RH-7.1. It is
just the installer which appears to be broken.

I am a Linux newbie (as if you couldn't have guessed)
Here's the deal. I am a Windows guy. I have 4 servers running W2K server
here, all configured just fine. We have a Linux box (a fifth server) and I
can't for the life of me bring it online.
We have a bunch of static IP's, the Internet connection works fine and all
that... We are running RH Linux 7.0...
-I want to have the machine's IP as 24.151.xxx.yyy
-The gateway is 24.151.ooo.ppp
-the machine name is vegeta
-domain -----> question 1--> does this have to be a registered Internet
domain name, or a windows workgroup type domain?
-subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
-name severs are plugged in (let's leave those out)
Question 1 - do we need to have a registered Internet domain name, or a
windows workgroup type domain for "DOMAIN"?
Question 2 - Can we name the machine anything?
Question 3 - do we need apache running to see this machine on the web?
Question 4 - what is the broadcast address and do we need that from our
Internet provider or can that be anything?
Question 5 - did I miss something/leave anything out?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanx!

Assuming you are in the kernel source directory and haven't made any
changes since the last time you compiled (like put a new source tree in

The precompiled kernel isn't very efficient nor does it see all my RAM either.
I need a custom kernel I'm afraid.

I am getting a new PC with Windows Millenium (ME) pre-installed on a 40GB
IDE HD. I am
assuming that Windows ME will be installed in one 40GB FAT32 partition.
Does FIPS work with WinME and FAT32? I understand that it supports Win95 and
FAT32 and possibly WinNT.

Reply-To: "bored with TV" <moihahahaha>
Personally, I know that you can run into problems trying to get all these
things (and then throw in SSL to boot) to run properly with Apache.
I'd really recommend getting Apache Toolbox (search on freshmeat) if you
want to install and compile from source rather than with RPMs. It'll do it
all automagically and it does a pretty damn good job in its latest
incarnations.
Saves pulling your hair out.

I think the problem here is that Red Hat has added in a lot of things that
are slightly different from what you would normally expect.
I was kind of shocked when certain things weren't installed by default
('like no linuxconf? - sheesh) unless you go through and pick the packages
you want to put in.
Still, I think, other than that, I mean, it's not a bad job. I also think
its because you picked a laptop installation which has some differences than
what you'd expect.
Oh, and definitely read the manuals for thnings like Samba and Mail
configuration. Not exactly like it used to be.
Sometimes in trying to make things easier, they just make them harder.
