I opted to go with VMs via Virtual Box instead (64 bit Vista host in my case). HOWEVER, I googled "boot vista with grub' and hit a load of documented solutions with various versions of Linux and Solaris. -- Nix -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

When one purchases AT&T DSL, it it typically linked to an email account... i.e bu...@sbcglobal.net (or other). That email account and password becomes the PPoE auth creds. THAT IS...

After that, it isn't a problem. I have not tried to run the setup program under Wine. But the only thing you need it for is to generate the account information. After that, you can setup the DSL modem to handle the PPPoE, or you can get a hardware router/firewall to do it. I am using SBCGlobal/AT&T right now. It is fine with Linux. If they ever port their account setup to Linux, you will not need Windows at all. Mikkel -- Log into your router (see the docs :) and fill in the ppoe info in the appropriate interface page of the router. In many cases, it's the router that handles the auth. The "Windows" software that comes with the kit, simply does that (as above) for you. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Simply 'study' the existing init scripts and jump in with your own, or modify an existing one (surely nothing illegal here :). Also check out the man page for chkconfig, to see how that works in Linux init scripts. Also try this... go to Google and search on "tutorial init script for Linux"... for which a wealth of info was returned. -- Nix -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Try a:
# chkconfig --list | less
and confirm that the services you require are "on." If not, use chkconfig (man
pages) to turn them on (reboot may be required, if you don't know how to start
the daemons manually). However, if they are already marked as "on", then there
are likely configuration problems in /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts (whichever you
are using) on the machine running the daemons. Both files should have man pages
outlining syntax.

OK, just checking. The action appears to be in the file /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, where there is a check for $HOME/.i18n. If this exists it's sourced, except that $LANG is preserved. Then there's a bunch of other special cases which you would need to pore over. Of course if the user doesn't have a $HOME/.i18n file it just sets some standard defaults. I don't know if any of this explains what you're seeing. poc Not sure if this will fill your needs, but you will have no further probs... Place the assignments in the /etc/profile. Of course, they are then set into the environment on a per login basis. If you have *csh users, also place the assignments in the /etc/csh.login. -- Nix -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
