Hi,
I guess I should have stated this differently from my previous post. After
I installed qpopper and used it, the properties/output of ps -ef changed to
the following.
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
2979 ? S0:00 -bash HOME=/home/frank USER=frank LOGNAME=frank
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin MAIL=/var/spool/mail/frank SH
3000 ? R0:00 \_ ps -ef LESSOPEN=|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s USERNAME=
HISTSIZE=1000 HOSTNAME=troy-net-svr1 LOGNAME=frank SSH_T
as apposed to the traditional.
PID TT S TIME COMMAND
4194 pts/0S 0:00 /bin/tcsh
29177 pts/0S 5:49 elm/bin/elm
3554 pts/3S 0:00 -tcsh
25251 pts/5S 0:00 -tcsh
21040 pts/6S 0:00 login -p -h ladybird -f claret
21041 pts/6S 0:01 -tcsh
Does this mean I've been hacked or have a security issue from an install? I
don't understand how an installation can change the display properties of
the ps command.
Thanks
Frank

You answered your own question: See the 'help' menu for your CD burning
program. Hopefully it has the capability to burn an image onto CD. It is
possible that you might need to use a different filename extension for
burner to recognize it as an image file.

Did you download qpopper from http://www.eudora.com/ or somewhere else?

You can also try the xset command:
xset m 5 2
should give a more manageble mouse speed.
the first number is the acceleration value
and the second is the threshold.
"m" is mouse

Subject: Problem booting from Red Hat 7.0 ISO
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 17:48:05 -0800
I am able to boot from the Red Hat 6.2 ISO without any problems.
The official Red Hat 7.0 ISO is a different story...
It attempts boot from the CD... but the screen remains blank for several
minutes while the CD-ROM light stays on until finally I get a message saying
"boot failed." I've tried multiple
ftp sites' "7.0-i386-respin-disc1.iso"
Anyone else experienc this? Any suggestions on how to get it to boot from
the CD properly?
Thanks

I thought it was likely to be
an NTFS file system, given its running MS NT, But I have no
clear idea of the history of the drive and since fdisk clearly
said it was FAT16 I assumed it would be correct and that NT was
installed on a FAT16 filesystem. Consequently all I could guess at
was that the ntfs kernel module was clever enough to know what to do
with a FAT16 as well as NTFS.
So there you go fdisk lied.

Thanks for the low down Eric. I guess I will be living without.

Has anybody successfully installed a scanner using the infamous NCR/SYSBIOS
53C400A controller card? I'm trying to get my Mustek MFC-600S to work with
Mandrake 7.2 and sane. I believe some HP Scanjets use the same card. If
you've had success, please let me know how you did it!

Have you by any chance rebuilt your kernel since the original install of
LILO, or moved anything around (partitions, partition sizes, etc?) LILO
is quite picky about what it expects to find when booking Linux. My
advice (remember what you are paying for it :) would be to:
Boot linux by starting off CD (It sounded like you could start your
system ok this way.)
check /etc/lilo.conf and make sure that the following is right:
boot=/dev/hda
Then in the section that loads linux check that:
image=(your current kernel as it appears with linux booted.. ie you
want something like /boot/vmlinuz and not /dev/hda5)
root=(your root partition _device_, ie: /dev/hda6)
read-only (should not be read-write when booting on HD)
If it is all ok, or after you fix it, run /sbin/lilo
Now reboot your system and see if you can start using LILO.
BTW, in case you're curious why /boot is under /dev/hda5... I'm guessing
that you used Disk Druid or Partition Magic to partition your drive. A
drive can have up to 4 primary partitions and several
"Logical" partitions. The logical partitions start with /dev/hda5.
Since you likely have 4 total (win98, /boot, swap, and root) you could
have gotten away with having partitions hda1-hda4. The way many
partitioning utilies work is that they will create one primary partition
(/dev/hda1). If you want another partition they don't just add
another primary for it.
Instead, when you create a 2nd partition, they create another primary
partition (/dev/hda2) which is an extended partition. This just means
it assigns a chunck of your hard drive where you can put _logical_
partitions. The extended partition they create takes up the entire
remaining portion of your drive. All partions you ask (from the 2nd on
up) are created as logical partitions inside this area.
H.. reading that doesn't make a ton of sense.. and I'm the one who
wrote it. Lets look at the way DOS's FDISK partitions if you have
one hard drive...
Drive C: is always a primary partition (the first or only one on the
drive) additional drive letters like D:-F: (why would you do this?) are
created as logical partitions inside a single extended partition.
Here's a 'graphic' for what I'm talking about:
(Single "DOS" drive with partitions C:, D:, E:, F:)
|primary partition---|---extended partition---|
|Drv C:--|---Drv D:---|--Drv E:--|-Drv F:-|
And in linux's (likely) view of your system right now:
|primary partition---|---extended partition---|
|---FAT32-Win98--|boot|-swap-|---root-|
|--hda1--|hda5|-hda6-|---hda7-|
|hda2|
Well, hope I haven't made it as clear as mud for you.
P.S. I used to dislike this since you could fit four partitions all in
the four primary partitions allowed on a system. (Only use hda1-hda4 as
regular primary partitions, and use no extended partitions.) BUT, see
what happens if you decide you want another partition for some reason!
Suddenly you need an extended partition and some logical partitions
because you can only have a max of 4 primary. It's a PITA (at least
with the tools available last time I did this) to move things around.
