linux boot troubles
Hi all, have some problems with Linux boot up. It all started when I was having major problems in Windows and had to reinstall Windows. Afterwards, windows kind of took over lilo and wouldn't show the lilo prompt after I hold down the shift key anymore. This has happened before, and I would just boot Linux off of a disk and run lilo again. But this time the disk doesn't work for some reason. It would start and say: boot:. After I type in linux and hit enter, it gives me a boot failure message. What is going on? Do I have a bad boot disk or something? Thanks in advance. M
Star Office installation
Finally decided to install Star Office, and didn't expect any trouble since I already have glibc 2 and others installed. But as it always is with me and Linux, something goes wrong. :) Anyway, I decompressed the tar file into /usr/src/so501/so501_inst/ like usual, and invoked the setup script. That went fine, I picked the options and put in the user information. When it's about to install, however, it gives me the message window titled Change Disk, with the message of please insert Star Office 5.0. I clicked Yes a couple of times to no avail and had to abort. Then I read in the readme somewhere that I should run setup from /cdrom/Office50/english/prod_lnx. So I moved all the files to that directory and started again, with the same error. Do I need to unzip all the f_ files in the installation directory? I tried that for a couple of the files but that didn't seem to change anything. And I haven't found a way to decompress all those files at once, unzip * did nothing. Sorry for the long message. Hope someone'll read it. :) Well, thanks in advance! Ming Hsu Asians are very gifted at creativity and invention.

gtk
Thanks to everyone who helped me out on the ethernet problem. It's up now. Now I have a problem with gtk 1.0.6 (it's always something). It configured fine but when I did make, it gave this error: In file included from /usr/include/errno.h:36, from gscanner.c:27: /usr/include/errnos.h:24: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [gscanner.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gtk+-1.0.6/glib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gtk+-1.0.6' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Can someone tell me what all that means? Thanks. Ming Hsu
Re: NE2000 PCI Card
Got it. Thanks! At 09:28 AM 2/16/99 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The NE2000 PCI-module is probing a number of addresses, make sure that your card is configured for one of those addresses.

NE2000 PCI Card
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask for help on this, but it may be something in Debian that's tripping me up. I'm trying to set up network support with Debian 2.0 running Linux 2.2.1. The machine is a K6-266MMX with 64MB of RAM. So far the Win95 side of the computer has the network up and running, so I'm pretty sure that the IP address and etc are correct. The problem I have right now is that the kernel won't recognize the NE2000 PCI card. A friend and I tried autoprobing it, and making it a module and loading it after compile, but neither has worked. We also tried to forcing recognition by putting an append line into LILO, but that didn't seem to work either. Are there any other ways to get the card recognized or did we miss a step or something?
