RE: [expert] Installing Mandrake without a boot floppy or bootable CD - SOLUTION!
Hi all, I have solved my problem, which was that I needed to be able to run the Mandrake 7.2 installer on a laptop which could only boot from the hard drive (no floppy drive, unbootable CD-ROM drive) and had no OS other than Linux (a Red Hat 6.0 installation) on that hard drive. What I did was: (a) copy the kernel "vmlinuz" from the CD-ROM to my /boot partition (called it "vmlinuz.cdrom") (b) copy the compressed ramdisk image "all.rdz" from the CD-ROM to my /boot partition (c) create a new Lilo entry thus: image = /boot/vmlinuz.cdrom label = cdrom root = /dev/hdc read-only initrd = /boot/all.rdz (d) ..and then reboot, selecting the "cdrom" entry from the Lilo: prompt. Result: the initial ramdisk is decompressed and used as the initial root device, the kernel shipped with the Mandrake 7.2 install CD gets booted, and the "init" in the ramdisk launches the Mandrake installer. From that point on it was exactly the same as a normal install. Thanks to Pierre Fortin for some helpful conversation.. Hopefully this will be of use to someone else! Cheers, David... -Original Message- From: Carson, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 February 2001 14:24 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [expert] Installing Mandrake without a boot floppy or bootable CD Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to do something which seems simple, but is perhaps deceptively difficult. Let me explain: I have an elderly laptop upon which I have installed Red Hat 6.0. This was an interesting procedure because (a) the laptop has no floppy drive, and (b) it can't boot from a CD-ROM. Which is tricky, given that just about every installation method relies on a bootable CD-ROM or a boot floppy. How exactly I got it working is described at http://www.ar.com.au/~storm/toshsat200cds.html but basically it involved copying the entire Red Hat CD onto the hard drive, rebooting into DOS (it had Win95 installed on it when I obtained it) and using their autoboot.bat utility. OK, that worked fine. But now, I would like to upgrade it to Mandrake 7.2. Same problem - can't boot from CD-ROM, can't boot from a floppy. But I also can't find any pointer to how to kick off the installation from a working Linux system, as I was able to kick off the Red Hat install from a working DOS system. My guess is that maybe if I added a Lilo entry to boot from the hard drive as usual, using the kernel on the hard drive, but with the CD-ROM as the root disk? Would this launch the installation as if it had been booted from the CD? I suppose I probably should experiment a bit before pestering this mailing list, but I'm at work, the laptop is at home, and I figured I'd ask now and see if anyone could save me messing around..

Re: [expert] syslog playing up

Another problem:
Recently the computer started freezing at startup unless I did the following:

logrotate isn't working either - it complains:
# logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
error: syslog:211 duplicate log entry for /var/log/syslog
The two problems may be separate - logrotate hasn't been working for a while.
Problem 1: syslog was disabled. I must have slipped up somewhere and
switched it off and then been too stupid and too quick posting to the
list to fix it myself.
Problem 2: logrotate problems.
I thought that it meant 'duplicate entries inside the log file for
syslog'. Wrong - it means that the /etc/logrotate.d/syslog file
contains duplicate entries for rotating /var/log/syslog like so:
# WARNING : don't use * wildcard as extension
# (glob in logrotate will try to rotate all files instead of
# only the basenames of the logs, i.e. it will rotate
# already rotated files and recompress them, taking
# exponential time...)
/var/log/auth.log {
rotate 5
weekly
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
/var/log/syslog {
rotate 5
weekly
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
/var/log/user.log {
[snip]
...
#/var/log/syslog {
#
#postrotate
#/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
#endscript
#
#}
... commenting out the second entry solved the error. My syslog file
has been getting alarmingly large as it hadn't rotated since late
november. I have no idea what caused this, as I've never touched this
file. Useful though - now I've had to learn about log rotation rather
than just assume it works.

Re: [expert] operating system switch tool?
I think he means to have linux running, use something like alt-tab and switch to a running copy of windows, basicly swapout and suspend the whole OS on the run. Would be really cool and useful, but I think the design of an OS like Linus and Windows is too tied to the hardware to do this (imagine network connections, time and date dependent processes, ppp ...). Nearest alternative would be something like vmware or win4lin, though wasnt there something for DOS years ago that basicly did just that? BillK Milnes Terry SSgt 52LSS/LGLOE wrote: Try out GAG.

I use Win4Lin at the house and I have used VMWare at the office. It depends on what you expect to do with win98 while running it under LInux. If you are looking for DirectX, forget it for a while. Win4Lin allows me to run IE, Quickbooks, and MSOffice which is all I really need. I only reboot if I want to play a MS game (which I haven't done since I finished Vampire: The Masquerade). VMWare allows a little more configuration options, but is also more expensive. As a computer professional, I am always a litle leery when things like networking stacks "just work" without configuration, but ... then again it does just work (under Win4Lin) On the other end, Mandrake put out a Lin4Win distro which allowed you to launch Linux from the Windows desktop.

Re: [expert] operating system switch tool?
Try out GAG. I use it in conjunction with LILO. I install LILO in the boot sector of the /boot partition and then install GAG in the MBR. If you cannot find GAG on the net, let me know and I will email it to you. I don't think GAG lets you run the two operating systems simultaneously. It just makes the reboots from one to the other go more smoothly. But you're still going to have the long boot delays when you switch I think. Win4lin is certainly the most seamless way of using Linux and Windows simultaneously. The problem is that it's slow to update so you have to be happy staying well behind the power curve of the Linux world (eg - no 2.4 kernel support yet). Cheers --- Larry

Is is possible to do something like "dd /dev/fd0 /dev/fd1" with only one floppy drive ? I usually copy the required files from /boot that I need. Any suggestions ? Thanks... Dan.

Re: [expert] linux device driver
There is a book from O'Reilly called "Linux Device Drivers" which i have not read, but which is supposed to be the definitive reference in this regard. I am sure the currently published version does not cover kernel 2.4 issues. There is also "Understanding the Linux Kernel" a recent O"Reilly book of which I have read the first 4 chapters thus far. It is pretty well written; you will need to understand quite a bit about the i86-32 architecture, as the early chapters that discuss memory segments are less clear than I would have hoped, and I am not sure I would have understood them had I not read the Intel book on programming the i86-32 processors. Still, this book provides a good deal of knowledge regarding the 2.2.x series kernels. One other approach to think about, depending on what you are developing for. Although I haven't written any drivers for a long time, I did at one time write quite a few device drivers for VMS. Back then (in the dark ages of command line interfaces...oh wait - I use Linux now) we used to get the source for an existing device similar to the one we were programming, and read it through to understand how to handle that type of device before writing our new drive. That is relatively easy under Linux if your device is similar in concept and implementation to an existing device.
