This can also happen on an upgrade to your Linux distribution. Re-installing LILO is the last thing that the installation does. So it is vitally important when installing or upgrading Linux on a dual boot machine, to have a MS-DOS or Windows rescue disk nearby so you can FDISK -MBR. Then you can go about using LOADLIN.EXE instead of LILO. This config.sys file is one possible way to invoke LOADLIN.EXE and boot MS-DOS or Linux. [menu] menuitem=DOS, Dos Boot menuitem=LINUX, Linux Boot [LINUX] shell=c:\redhat\loadlin.exe c:\redhat\autoboot\vmlinuz vga=5 root=/dev [DOS] STACKS = 0,0 rem all the other DOS drivers get loaded here. This creates a menu where you can directly jump to LOADLIN.EXE before all of the MS-DOS drivers get loaded. The paths and options are peculiar to one machine and should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. See the LOADLIN.EXE docs for options. They are the same as LILO, and options are just passed to the kernel, anyhow. [Jim Harvey] 4.14. How Can I Boot Linux from OS/2's Boot Manager? 1. Create a partition using OS/2's FDISK.EXE (Not Linux's fdisk). 2. Format the partition under OS/2, either with FAT or HPFS. This is so that OS/2 knows about the partition being formatted. (This step is not necessary with OS/2 `warp' 3.0.) 3. Add the partition to the Boot Manager. 4. Boot Linux, and create a file system on the partition using mkfs -t ext2 or mke2fs. At this point you may, if you like, use Linux's fdisk to change the code of the new partition to type 83 (Linux Native)--this may help some automated installation scripts find the right partition to use. 5. Install Linux on the partition. 6. Install LILO on the Linux partition--NOT on the master boot record of the hard drive. This installs LILO as a second-stage boot loader on the Linux partition itself, to start up the kernel specified in the LILO configuration file. To do this, you should put boot = /dev/hda2 (where /dev/hda2 is the partition you want to boot from) in your /etc/lilo/config or /etc/lilo.config file. 7. Make sure that it is the Boot Manager partition that is marked active, so that you can use Boot Manager to choose what to boot. There is a set of HOWTO's on the subject of multi-boot systems at the LDP Home Page, http://www.linuxdoc.org/. 5. File Systems, Disks, and Drives 5.1. How Can I Get Linux to Work with My Disk? If your disk is an IDE or EIDE drive, you should read the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/README.ide (part of the Linux kernel source code). This README contains many helpful hints about IDE drives. Many modern IDE controllers do translation between `physical' cylinders/heads/sectors, and `logical' ones. SCSI disks are accessed by linear block numbers. The BIOS invents some `logical' cylinder/head/sector fiction to support DOS. An IBM PC-compatible BIOS will usually not be able to access partitions which extend beyond 1024 logical cylinders, and will make booting a Linux kernel from such partitions using LILO problematic at best. You can still use such partitions for Linux or other operating systems that access the controller directly. It's recommend that you create at least one Linux partition entirely under the 1024 logical cylinder limit, and boot from that. The other partitions will then be okay. Also there seems to be a bit of trouble with the newer Ultra-DMA drives. I haven't gotten the straight scoop on them--but they are becoming a very common problem at the SVLUG installfests. When you can get 8 to 12 Gig drives for $200 to $300 it's no wonder. [Jim Dennis] 5.2. How Can I Undelete Files? In general, this is very hard to do on unices because of their multitasking nature. Undelete functionality for the ext2fs file system is being worked on, but don't hold your breath. There are a number of packages available which instead provide new commands for deleting and copying which move deleted files into a `wastebasket' directory. The files can be recovered until cleaned out automatically by background processing. The Midnight Commander file manager provides an undelete facility that uses Ext2 file system library functions and an undelete directory for each file system. Commercial distribution packages of MC may or may not have this feature enabled, so be sure to look in the source code distribution for instructions on how to enable the undelete

Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2000 03:34:06 GMT
I am getting unknown Ethernet broadcast packets
on the network from the same device and it's
driving me crazy trying to figure out what they
are. The packets (each 1.51 Kb) are being
broadcasted twice every second. The broadcast is
happening 24/7. More info is below:
There is a series of cascading switches/hubs on
our company's network and the broadcasted packets
are being propogated to all devices. We have
about 150 nodes on the network.
Does anyone have any idea of what this is?
Below are more specific info of one packet:
(Almost all the packets look identical to each
other, though.)
FRAME: Total frame length: 1510 bytes
ETHERNET: Destination address :
ETHERNET: Source address : 0201
ETHERNET: Ethernet Type : 0x886F
(*The monitor software that I am using listed
this an unknown protocol.)
ETHERNET: Ethernet Data: Number of data bytes
remaining = 1496 (0x05D8)

ethernet packet (ignore the right hand most

I would like to execute a script pressing ctrl-alt-del which controlls if a
reboot or stop is allowed (it checks if there exists still a
network-connection). If not, the shutdown-command is executed. Therefore I
added it to /etc/inittab and it works. But there is still a little problem.
Let's suppose I press ctrl-alt-del and there's still a connection with my
computer, so the shutdown-command is not executed. The next time I press
ctrl-alt-del there happens nothing more. These 3 buttons only work 1 time

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Hi,
I have a problem mounting (standart) cdroms. When I write
mount -tiso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom (SuSE 6.2 Kernel 2.2.16)
Then linux write the unsual stuff like cd write protected mouted,
that' okay.
when I do a ls -la I get the following line:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 cdrom
as you can see cdrom is a file which is 0 byte and you have no acces
to the cdrom.
We also use this server to serve cdrom's. There are serveral cdimages
(created with dd...) and these images are mounted with the loop
command like "mount -tiso9660 -o loop /". But when I try to mount
more than 18 images it tells me "bad superblock on device /dev/loop19
or too many mounted file systems, wrong fs type, bad option".
The devices are created with mknod b loopX 7 X, the loop.c source has
the linx #define MAX_LOOP 80 and the kernel was rebuild. So everything
should be right.

i have deleted linux completly and re-installed windows, i dont have
access to or to create a windows startup disk for some reason but anyway
Windows says i now have a smaller hard drive than i actually have, linux
is respsonsible for this, i even used partition magic on Mandrake 7.0. to
clear it and it stills says i have a smaller disk space. why and how can i
fix it?
Go to http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/ and download Ranish
Parition Manager. The readme file will show you how easy it is to use.
It will probably show a Linux ext2 partition which Windows can't see.
Use Ranish to change the partition's type to be the same as your
existing Windows partition (fat16 or fat32), then format it. If you then
delete it, your existing Windows partition will be resized to take up
both partitions.
If you have more than one Linux partition, delete all but one of them,
starting with the last and working back to the first.
This fix assumes that your Windows partition is first on the hard disk
and is followed by one or more Linux partitions, which is the usual
case.

Ah, but if they cannot have _any_ regulations on religion or religious

need only establish themselves as a religion, and establish the nefarious

No. By "regulate religion" I mean "We have determined that your
organization is a religion, so you must register with the Ministry of
Religion and follow its regulations" or suchlike. Regulating "nefarious
things" without regard to the sociological classification of organizations
involved with them does not constitute regulating religion. Forbidding
certain activities to religious organizations while allowing them to all
others (or vice-versa) is.
Scientology has some activities (running businesses, running conferences,
providing "business technologies") that appear _not_ to be religious
matters.
This distinguishes them from the Catholic Church how?
Whilst religious organizations traditionally encourage the widespread
dissemenation of their "scriptures," whether that be the Koran, the
Christian Bible, Hindu scriptures, or such,...
I'm sure that this will come as quite a surprise to students of the myriad
of mystery religions that have existed over the millennia.

The ttyS(#) or cua(#) is not the problem: Remove the " /dev/ " preface. The
program (rightfully) assumes that it's is in /dev directory (where else
would it be?) grin. It took me a few minutes to figure out that one, too;
finally I broke down and re-read the man pages :-)
...sigh...Now if somebody could only tell me why I cant send faxes to the
hylafax server (via WHFC) when I'm outside of the LAN. (I'm looking to
install WHFC on a Windoze machine with a cable modem and submit the job
over the internet I poked the necessaray holes in our corperate routers
firewalls; and I (believe that I) correctly set up the
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts file. I am at a real loss on this one...
Here's the real kicker: On my home Linux/SDSL box, I can do a " faxstat -h
(ip of the corperate faxserver) " and get a response. On my dad's
Win95/Cable modem box, WHFC simply freezes up. Perhaps the cable modem
system around here won't let me use the 4559 (default Hylafax port) port?

Maybe because you didn't read the Linux-Sound how-to's.

Does anyone have a crack for this? Or does anyone know of a crack page

It means the place where people hunt snowy owls. And indeed,

Subject: traffic-shaping on more than one if?
Hi,
did anybody try out this nice traffic-shaper under 2.2.x? I know it is
ALPHA, but anyway, i need
to slow down eth traffic on an adaptec-quad-card (4 ports, tulip chips).
NIC works fine, so
i get 4 if's and after loading shaper.o, i wanted to attach shaper0 -
eth0, shaper1 - eth1,
but shapecfg accepts this only once, reporting on followups "device not
ready".
It seems as if shaper.o/shapecfg supports only 1 (!) shaper if, is that
right?
Would be nice if someone would share (not shape=;)) some experiences on
shaper.o and more
than one if, wether it is possible at all etc...
Regards,
Birger

You could try "versions | grep lib" or "versions | grep cc"
That way you can at least see what has been installed / uninstalled.
For more versions-options and operators version --help | more
Goodluck!

hi, all
I took over this sgi machine which had been maintained by some one else.
GCC and cc compiler path was set , so I thought those two compilers has
been installed. However, when I tried to compile perl on this system,
the system was not able to compile perl.
I guess gcc lib and cc lib had not been installed.
My question is how do I know whether or not cc ompiler or gcc compiler
has been successfully installed and configured including its libraries.
Is there a certain path those two generates or certain files that would
tell me their installations are incomplete?
I would appreciate your support.

Is there another easier way to setup and run PPP?
PPP: You can run and setup it with "linuxconf" if you've got
that. And you can run it with /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}
or whatever your version names the scripts.
Control Panel: Run "control-panel". Big suprise, huh?
Read the W.M. docs to learn how to put the stuff on menus

Ok, I figured it out. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help.
It turns out that the file was originally a DOS file that I had pulled off
of the floppy before I modified it, and had the extra CRs in it. I noticed
this when I wrote the ppp-on file out once, and it said it was in DOS
format.
It still isn't dialing or anything, but I'll work on that now. One problem
at a time...
Thanks again,

Don't you have to rejumper the disks to change them between master

Nuts. It is up to him to decide. If he decides that it can go on such
distributions, then they do not fall under the "products that are not
sold" classification, by his definition. Legal documents define the
terms used, and those definitions are then binding on that document, no
matter how you may use that definition in your everyday life. It is only
if they are not defined that they take their normal meaning. In the
above he explicitely states that "be on cheapbytes cdroms" falls under
the "are not sold" ruberic.
