After adding the line to lilo.conf did you run lilo again to update the
MBR?

Mike,
I think you'd have to do that with a loop. Loops can be entered on the
command line
but you may be better off to write it into a script file.
But first, note that you can do the

if you use the kernel 2.2.17 you can both read and write access an NTFS

Well, I just installed one recently under RH 6.2
All I did was to install the SCSI card (an Adaptec 2930U PCI card),
set the drive (an HP 4/8 GB DDS2 device) as unit 0 and boot up again.
Setting the tape as unit 0 makes the tape map to /dev/nst0 (no auto
rewind) and /dev/st0 (auto rewind).
Once booted and before loading any modules I put a blank tape in the
drive, logged in as root and typed
mt -f /dev/nst0 status
and the system told me all about the SCSI controller and the drive,
including the fact that it had a tape in it.
' tar cvf /dev/nst0 /home' worked immediately :-))
The bottom line is that on my rig installing a DAT tape was much
simpler than I'd expected. I hope you're as lucky.

I don't know if this may be your problem, but one that a few people
fall into is putting their HDD on the same IDE port as their CDROM.
Having a CD drive on the same IDE port/cable can (not always) slow down
HDD data transfer considerably. It is often best to have HDD at
/dev/hda
and CD drive at /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd.

Subject: OpenSSH on Mandrake 7.1
Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 17:36:00 -0600
I'm running OpenSSH v2.1 on my machine and I'm getting the
following error when trying to connect to my machine:
Bad remote protocol version identification: 'sshd: no hostkeys available
-- exiting.
'
Sure enough, the /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key doesn't exist.
Is there a way to force ssh to create one for me? Or, what
is another way to get that file generated?
Sorry if this is OT in this group.

Try using the plain vanilla fdisk from Linux. I had basically the same
problem you are having when I used Disk Druid from RedHat v6.1 to create
partitions. When I created them manually using fdisk, I was able to assign
them and install just fine.
