Re[2]: [expert] Problems with LILO
Halo, I use NT and Linux in 1 box, with simple trick. Install NT first, directly boot NT from CD. After that, install Linux, dan place LILO in the same partition with NT. You will then prompt for lilo first, then when you chose "dos" you will get into NT Bootloader. The next time, you reinstall nt, lilo will not be replaced. -- Best regards, Istiqfarmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Jaime, on Thu, 03 Feb 2000, 02:06:10, you wrote: JB> Dear Jean-Louis, JB> I'm not familiar with Windows NT's boot.ini file. this is what is looks like JB> so far: JB> [boot loader] JB> timeout=30 JB> default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT JB> [operating systems] JB> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version JB> 4.00" JB> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version JB> 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos JB> Given that windows is on the Master HDD in the primary IDE, and Linux is on JB> the Master HDD on the secondary IDE, do you know what the entry should look JB> like to include Linux?

Re: [expert] RAM useage
I also experienced the same. I don't know how linux manage the memory, but for me, it looks like winblow$ who eat memory and never let them out again. Also, I experienced bad performance in multitasking with some disk-related activity (such as ftp, cp, mv) - even when you "ls", it tooks almost like forever. regards, isa On Sun, 06 Feb 2000 19:25:44 +0100, you wrote: | Hi, | | Coming from just reading the thread about Netscape and it's dumb library | using so much ram I have a question: | | I know that Linux uses all the ram it can take, using the unused amount | for cache and buffers. | So I start X, WindowMaker, some xterms, Netscape, gFTP, and after that | StarOffice.

[expert] Unresolved symbol after compile kernel

[expert] Error when booting from cd - 7.0 (Air)`
I have 2 questions: 1. I found error in "Second stage memory" screen. But, when i pressed ok, installation continue with no problem. Anybody found that too, or maybe my cd is corrupt? I have 64 mb memory, with P166 cpu and *no-problem* with Mandrake 6.1 before. 2. After finishing setup, my 3c509b card is not up successfully (which was beautifully detected from RH5.2-6.1, Mandrake 6.0-6.1). It was fixed, when I add "alias eth0 3c509" in /etc/conf.modules. Any body have same experience? Thank you, isa
Re: [expert] Mandrake 7.0 network problem
I've experienced quite the same. Mine is 3c509b, and eth0 is failed to startup. The problem is solved when I add "alias eth0 3c509.o" in /etc/conf.module. Hope this help.
