RE: [expert] lilo help
Here is the gist I get from reading the LILO README. Warning 0x82 is saying that Hard Drive Primary Slave has cylinders larger than the magical 1024 limit. This does not mean that you can not use LILO. More than likely your /etc/lilo.conf file has a line that reads LINEAR. What this does when you run /sbin/lilo is it checks the HDD "capabilities"(?) and then writes out the map file. LILO then uses this map file to boot the system. LILO does not have a clue as to what your HDD looks like so this map file tells it what it looks like and where to find the information to boot. Does LILO work at all? What is the error that you are getting? Each letter at the boot prompt represents a different step in the boot process. I.e. if LILO is stopping with LI then the second stage of the boot is finished, but the map file is wrong. That's just my two cents.

Does this server have two nic cards in it, one for one subnet and one for the other subnet. If so, you can setup Linux to work like a router and transfer packets from one subnet to the other. In SAMBA you can setup the interface too use one workgroup but transfer the packets from one subnet to the other. This will allow you to have shares on one subnet and the other subnet can access them. I did this once and had it working until I got my HUB, then I switched everything over to one subnet.

It is an unfortunate truth that Sun is still blatantly snubbing Linux. Even the README's in the tarball refer you only to win32 and Solaris installation instructions. I sincerely hope that the KDE team can come up with a way to use the Java environment with the tools IBM has provided, since they are enthusiastic in their Linux support.

[expert] KDE 2.1 and jdk
I d/l'ed the unsupported rpms from a ftp mirror site. In the readme it states that if you want java support d/l the jdk-sun rpm in the directory. However, there is no jdk-sun rpm. Can anyone help me out with this. Thanks! NeoFax

RE: [expert] Problem starting Apache
Thanks for all the help. I just needed to get a more recent Apache RPM. The one I had was on the CD but it never got copied over. I had the infamous MVP3 chipset problem and fixed it by installing Mandrake 7.1 and doing a live update from within it. -Original Message- From: Stephen Carville [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 2:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [expert] Problem starting Apache On Fri, 2 Feb 2001, D.

RE: [expert] Problem starting Apache
I would like to run SSL from within Apache. As for the auth through squid, I heard there is an rpm that allows SAMBA to run as a PDC and squid will pass the encrypted password through. Do you know how to achieve this? I am currently running squid as a transparent proxy and ipchains catches all tcp packets and sends them to the squid port. -Original Message- From: D.

RE: [expert] Mandrake Update
Every time I start MandrakeUpdate it looks for a net connection which BTW I don't have and states that it can not find a mirror and then exits. How can I get it to not look for a mirror so that I can set the preferences? -Original Message- From: Scott Barron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 2:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [expert] Mandrake Update Hi, In the File-Preferences dialog you can set the source to Disk which would point to a local directory of the RPMS. I do this quite a bit because I have multiple Mandrake installations and I NFS export the set of RPM's one of them downloads and have the others point mount it to keep from re-downloading the same RPMs. I've also had success using the Network option with an ftpd running on one of my boxen that has a Mandrake mirror. -Scott On Tue, Jan 30, 2001 at 12:19:54PM +0100, Milnes Terry SSgt 52LSS/LGLOE wrote: Is there a way to setup MandrakeUpdate to use my localhost as the mirror page and have it update from the RPMS on my cd or on a network share? -- --- "That's a deer shooting hat."

Is there a way to setup MandrakeUpdate to use my localhost as the mirror page and have it update from the RPMS on my cd or on a network share?
[expert] Mandrake 7.2 Installation problem
Having problem installing Mandrake 7.2. Have read all the fixes and nothing works. Can I just install Mandrake 7.1 and run Mandrake_Update and point it to the CD's?
RE: [expert] Mandrake 7.2 Installation problem
It starts the initial loading of the kernel checks the ide channels and gets to hdd = LG CD-ROM CRD8232B or something to that effect and hangs right there. I have tried the ide0=noautotune ide1=noautotune the ide=33 fixes to no avail. I have tried a Mandrake 7.1 boot disk to no avail. I have also tried installing Mandrake 7.1 and running live_update on the cd while in KDE in Mandrake 7.1 this gets me up to installing the packages but just spins the hard drives for roughly 20 hours straight. I really would like to get this working so that I can go onto setting the PC up as my Domain Controller and Proxy Server. I have read in the alt.os.linux.mandrake USENET newsgroup that it more than likely is my MVP3 chipset. Is Mandrakesoft possibly thinking about maybe issuing a different cdrom.img file that takes care of this problem? -Original Message- From: Matt Imle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 2:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [expert] Mandrake 7.2 Installation problem what is the specific install problem? __ Do You Yahoo!?
