Now, there are basically two approaches:
a) To let the XP boot loader to the job, see

(should work for XP too)
b) To let grub or lilo do it, see the attached text which I had picked

 Tips  Tricks: Dual booting Windows XP or 2000 with Linux



There are a couple of ways to approach a dual boot.

In the first scenario, let's say you have an empty machine, and because
you're a glutton for punishment, you want both Windows 2000/XP and Red
Hat Linux. This is a bit like using Earl-shine on a Porsche, but here goes:

   1. Partition. Use fdisk to create two partitions of appropriate size
  for your install.

   2. Install Windows. You're on your own here. Time and many reboots go
  by...

   3. Boot into the Red Hat Linux installer, and install into the second
  partition. All should go swimmingly, until you're faced with a
  choice between boot loaders and install locations.

If you wish to let Lilo or GRUB control the install, so be it. Either
one *should* pick up the fact that Windows is already there and compensate.

If it doesn't, and your boot loader of choice only boots Linux, a
lilo.conf entry should look like:

other=/dev/hda1
label=windows

A grub.conf entry should look like:

title windows
map (hd0,0) (hd0,2)
map (hd0,2) (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1

(Hint: type info grub at a command prompt for a full breakdown of what
this entry means.)

You may choose to let another boot loader handle the install, in which
case you will want to:

Boot into Linux and copy the boot image from the first sector of your
boot partition. You'll want to take 512 bytes of this partition once,
and write it out to a file called bootsect.lnx. The entry should look like:

dd if=/dev/hdX of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1

Move that file onto your c:\ drive and edit boot.ini, adding the
following line:

c:\bootsect.lnx=Linux

On to the second, more common scenario. It's likely that you already
have Windows and are testing the waters, taking a class, or planing to
migrate. Or maybe you just want to get something done without crashing
for a change.

In this case:

   1. Scandisk, defrag, and empty your recycle bin (unless you want a
  clump of cruft at the end of your drive.)

   2. Repartition your drive with fips (or something similar). Don't
  bother trying to format this partition--you'll only wipe it out
  later and certain 3rd party formatting doesn't go right.

   3. Enter the Red Hat Linux installer and proceed through the install
  using the second partition as your target drive.

(Hint: make sure to create a boot disk. If something goes wrong, you
want to at least be able to get into one of the OS's.)

Check out the helpful dual booting HOW-TO's at:

scenarios, or activate your support entitlement and call our hotline.

Re: Dual boot XP/pro and linux (lindows)

I tried this in my lilo.conf
other=/dev/hdc1
label=XP

And ran lilo. On reboot, I can boot into linux but not windows. It tries to
boot but fails with a message saying error loading operating system. This is
an improvement over using /dev/hdc, where the computer just hangs.

I tried using the table directive, but it doesn't work. If I use:

table=/dev/hda

in the main section I get an error when lilo runs and putting this into the
other section gets a fatal error, no partition information found.

So, any suggestion welcome.

I suspect this may have to do with the fact that windows doesn't like being
on the third (ID2) hard drive, especially since when I installed XP on this

WIN XP may reside anywhere (I have installed two instances of it). But, 
as far as I know, the XP bootloader (you need it, even if booting from

	chainloader +1
(I think, 'other=/dev/hda1' should be the equivalent in lilo.conf).
The XP loader now reads boot.ini in drive c:, which tells him to look

Well, here in Canada the pot is boiling.  The Canadian government has 
distinguished itself by abandoning her traditional allies of Britain and 
Australia and thumbing it's nose at the US.

One of our cabinet ministers standing on the Parliament steps in Ottawa 
criticized Bush to reporters calling him, among other things, a failed 
statesman.  That followed comments shouted in Parliament by a Liberal 
(ruling party) MP of screw the US.  Another Liberal called the US a 
bunch of bastards.  None of these members were censored publicly for 
these comments.

Remember that Canada is the US' largest trading partner.  Just imagine 
what the trade numbers look like from our side of the border!

The US Ambassador to Canada, John Celluci was highly critical of Canada's
government a couple of days ago.  He also suggested that Canada would pay.  
As Celluci pointed out, it's ironic since Canada has a handful of soldiers
with the US forces in Iraq along with a destroyer and two frigates
inspecting ship traffic in the Persian Gulf.  We also sent 1000 troops to
Afghanistan to backfill US troops freeing them up for Iraq.  All this and
the idiots in Ottawa are stating we don't support the war as long as the
UN doesn't support it.

Once again, our government is trying to have it both ways.  We stop far 
short of France and Germany but won't support our allies and partners.  
We've embarrassed and isolated ourselves.

Prime Minister Chretien has cancelled a trip to the US and Bush's visit 
here on May 5 is now uncertain.

I am absolutely certain that there is some kind of screening process for 
politicians to ensure they only have negative IQ's.

Re: Dual boot XP/pro and linux (lindows)

2003-03-29 Thread Joel Hammer
Thanks for the detailed response. I really do get confused with booting
issues. I recall well when I first started with linux, I decided to
really understand the boot process. Now, all I care is if it works!

In this case, the suggestion to use the map-drive parameter solved the
problem. I will just add some detail here so others may benefit.

I bought a lindows computer with linux on the first hard drive. I
uninstalled this hard drive, and installed a new hard drive as the first
hard drive and installed XP on it. I then put the linux hard drive back as
the first hard drive and put the XP drive as the third IDE device (IDE2)
or as a secondary master (/dev/hdc). There is no /dev/hdb drive installed.

My entry for XP in lilo.conf is as follows:
other=/dev/hdc
label=MS_W®_XP
map-drive=0x80
 to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
 to=0x80


First, the label. I had typed just
label=XP
but something is smart enuf in lindows to recognize XP as important and
substituted the label you see above. This gives a nice WindowsXP with a
little R to show it is a trademark. I wonder why they went to the trouble?

Second, according to man lilo.conf, the above entry swaps drives C and D.
Now, being simple minded, I changed the 81 to 82 (hdc instead of hdb). But,
the 82's didn't work. So, I guess the bios assigns those numbers
sequentially to installed drives only.  

So, everything works, even if I don't really understand it. Which, is just
fine with me!

There's another idea that rushed into my mind during a nice walk with my 
dog:
The boot.ini file from your XP install now is in /dev/hdc0, isn't it, 
after you have moved the drive? And probably there is a line in it like
  multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\WINDOWS=Windows XP /fastdetect
pointing to the first partition on ide0 (and probably a similar line 
starting with 'default').
Now your Windows XP is in ide2, but boot.ini still points to ide0. So, 
if you can mount /dev/hdc1 in read/write (it's not ntfs?), change the 
occurance(s) of rdisc(0) to rdisc(2).
If you can't mount hdc1 r/w, perhaps you can change the boot.ini with a 
rescue console starting from your XP installation CD.

their parties. So, I really am surprised that the politicians are
a lot worse than they are, given how they are chosen.

A good example of a large group of uninformed but noisy and well meaning
people is Greenpeace. I read the Greenpeace bulletin board (my nom
de guerre there is Tecumseh, pardon my French. They were shocked when
I told them I admired William Tecumseh Sherman). They really are the
most uniformed but most highly opinionated group of people I have yet
corresponded with. For example, they fervently think that wind power is
going to be a major supplier of energy.  They think that good intentions
backed up by strong feelings somehow make for a persuasive argument
or is the foundation for good energy and foreign policy. Unfortunately,
so do many of our politicians.

I came onto the thread late. Let me just add my 2 cents on the failed Iraqi
inspection policy by the UN:   

If you wonder why we had to invade Iraq instead of relying on Hans Blix to
find those weapons, consider these facts:
 
1. Antarctica is getting colder.
2. Greenland is getting colder.
3. The USA weather stations show no temperature increase.
4. Global satellite temperature data shows no temperature increase. This
agrees with data from weather balloons.
5. Hans Blix was recently quoted as saying that global warming is a
worse threat than weapons of mass destruction.
 
You can draw your own conclusions. That is something that many people simply
cannot do.

Joel


 I am absolutely certain that there is some kind of screening process for 
 politicians to ensure they only have negative IQ's.

begin  Ken Moffat's  quote:
| Do you feel a bit mislead, judging by the amount of resistance, and

| good, but something smells.

actually, not really. there are, besides substantial cultural 
differences and a mistrust of just about everybody, some defining 
events over the last couple of decades. first, we let the shia down 
when they tried to rise up, in something that more than glangingly 
resembles our behavior at the bay of pigs. second, you can't tell the 
players even with a scorecard. third, the iraqis think we're crazy -- 
we're trying to figt this war without killing anybody, and taking 
casualties as a result. this is a kind of warfighting that is not 
only unfamiliar to them, it's pretty much unfamiliar to everybody. 
thus, on cbs yesterday we had this: US Marines mistakenly destroyed 
an SUV filled with a family of Iraqi farmers, killing several of 
them. CBS was on the scene with the Marines, who came to help them 
with their dead. Amazingly, the surviving family held no anger toward 
the Marines, and thanked them for their help. One of the men of the 
family told the reporter that they understand why the Marines made 
this mistake, because Saddam is forcing civilians to take this route 
in hopes that Allied forces will make exactly this kind of mistake. 
In other words, these poor people, who had just seen their kinsmen 
burned to death by American bombs, blamed Saddam for the incident. 
we're seeing surprises on both sides of it.

so when we don't quite understand how it's all playing out, to some 
extent it's because we're watching a cricket match and thinking in 
terms of baseball.

Slack 9.0 and X

2003-03-29 Thread Collins Richey
OK, it appears that Slack by default has installed the latest and
greatest xfree86-4.3.0-i386-2.  The version that I am using on gentoo
(it works) is xfree-4.2.1-r2.  I notice that XFree86-4.2.1.1 is
available in the Slack 9.0 pasture directory.  Several gentoo users have
commented that 4.3.0 isn't all that stable.  Note, I'm using the

 Not in the least.  I don't ever believe that massive groups of Arabs
 would invite the great Satan into their midst and welcome him with
 open arms.  Nor do I believe that anyone in the administration would
 seriously believe this to be the case.  The whole scenario is
 quite complex, and it's an over simplification to say it's the oil or
 it's the weapons of mass destruction or it's freedom for the Iraqis
 or it's Al Queda (sp?), etc.  It's all of these things and more.  Some
 aspects of the campaign are no doubt tied up with classified information
 that we are not privy to, and that's as it should be, although that irks
 the CIA baiters no end.

My 3 cents worth. First this should go to the general list. Secondly, after 22 
years in the military I'm a little disqusted by most of this even some of the 
troops behavior. I still can see the pictures of some of the maintenance 
personnel captured by the Iraq's whining that they hadn't come to Iraq to 
shoot anyone but to fix things. Then there were the parents on TV complaining 
that their boy hadn't joined the Army to go in harms way but for a college 
education. 

The generals? You'd have to go all the back to the our Civil War and the 
campaigns of George McClellan to equal their non ability. They have broken 
just about every rule in the book. They over estimated Iraqi civilian support 
for War? Instead of an adoring populas waving palm fronds  they have been met 
with Where's the food and what are you doing in my country?  Ignoring the 
lessons of Stalingrad, Moscow and  Berlin they assumed that Iraqis wouldn't 
put up much resistance against a foreign power on their soil. After taking 
less than 20 casualties they slowed the advance on Bagdag. A major military 
blunder which Stonewall Jackson and General Sherman wouldn't have made. In 
Jackson's words the battle belongs to whoever gets there the firstest with 
the mostest. Once engaged with an inferior force you neve, NEVER give him 
time to back away in good order to reform and dig in. The cost in lives 
becomes greater than if you had pushed ahead. Grant learned that at 
Petersburg.Let's not forget the great plan to over awe the Iraqis by reducing 
Bagdag to rubble. The battles Stalingrad and Berlin demonstrated that cities 
that have been rubblized are great places to defend. The rubble interferes 
with the deployment of tanks and massed formations of troops. Despite this we 
keep hearing of the continuous bombing and the effect it has on the Iraqis. 
Maybe our party circuit generals should take a little time off from the night 
life to do a little research on just what was the effect that Hitler's 
bombing of London had on the British or the destruction of Berlin had on the 
Germans or Stalingrad on the Russians.

Then there's the supply lines. Attacking the enemy's lines of communication 
was has always been a time honored tactic even before the time of Ceaser. A 
small force in the rear can do more to slow or even stop an advance than 
divisions in the front. Note the campaigns of Stonewall Jackson and Jeb 
Stuart. Yet, our Washington party circuit generals were caught completely by 
surprise by Iraqi irregular forces attacks on the supply lines that the 
generals has slowed down themselves. To combat this they have had to divert 
huge numbers of troops to guard the supply lines and ask for 140,000 more 
troops. Shades of General McClellan!

Then there's the top of the command and his toadies. Little Georgie used his 
daddy's influence to duck the draft. At the time he got in the Texas Air 
National Guard there were no slots available. He scored lower of the officer 
exams than many others yet he was commissioned while others with higher 
scores were not commissioned and were sent to Nam. Thus our 
commander-in-chief, like the one before him, is a cowardly draft dodger 
sending better men and women to die in Iraq while all the Bushes remain 
safely in the US. And the reason for the war? Who knows? The day after 9/11 
Iraq was accused as a responsible party. Little Georgie started preaching war 
with Iraq as the War on Terrorism. Unfortunately, for Jr. and the toadies 
Iraq seemed to be about the only Arab country without any links to the 
terrorists, unlike some of our friends like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt. So 
the war became the War Against Weapons of Mass Destruction. Bush 
immediately took to the airways claiming that Iraq had tried to buy nuclear 
fuel from Nigeria. Bush used that as justification. Problem - middle CIA 
analysis told the New York Times that the documents were forgeries, that the 
CIA knew it and that they had told little George that before he went on TV 
with this proof. He

Slackware 9.0 (more)

2003-03-29 Thread Collins Richey
Well now, things are looking up.

1. Solved my X problem.  I could have sworn that I moved by XF86Config
file to Slack, but lo and behold it was not what I was using.  Now
corrected; flicker gone.

2. Slack gets a big A+ for detecting my sound card automatically and for
setting up CD writer automatically.

3. Slack gets a B+ for settting up my printer almost.  Printer support
is activated, but my LJ1100 just sits there with a blinking light, which
means that the wrong type data is arriving.  I looked, and it doesn't
appear that Ghostscript is on board, so I'm not surprised that this
doesn't work.

4. Through google, I found a source of Slack packages.  Sylpheed and
aterm are up and running.

5. Now the search begins in earnest to get Phoenix up and going.  The
phoenix nightlies (binaries) require older compatibility C++ and libc5
and libc6 libraries in order to work with all the plugins that aren't
yet up to current compiler/library standards.  Gentoo has all this
packaged(lib-compat).  Is there any equivalent in the way of a Slack
package?

6. Slack gets a B+ for providing a usable, but not quite up to snuff

If you want to experience intolerance in the reverse direction, visit the
Greenpeace community bulletin board. There, the people who hate Bush the
most use quite insulting language towards people who express progovernment
views.

I must also say that attaching a man's name to a policy, (Bush 
Ashcroft's America) and then attacking that man, rather than the policy,
was a technique extensively used by the Communist regime in Russia for
many years. Thus, the Communists would attack Darwinianism  and
Mullerianism by attacking Darwin and Muller, rather than the theory of
evolution by natural variation and natural selection. It made for a much
simpler message.

BTW, the person we have to thank for the new homeland (ugh) security
regulations doesn't live or vote in this country (USA).

  The generals? You'd have to go all the back to the our Civil War and the 
  campaigns of George McClellan to equal their non ability.
 
 Now you have gone too far.
 
 McClellan was heads and shoulders above the crowd. He was the most
 responsible for building the Union army from scratch. He understood
 the importance of logistics and understood the huge advantage offered
 by the Union Navy in allowing the out flanking of the southern armies.
 He understood that the threat was more powerful than the execution.
 His men loved him because he took care of them and didn't waste their
 lives in senseless frontal attacks. He forced Lee into a battle in which
 Lee lost more soldiers than the Union, which probably never happened again
 in the war.  After he was sacked by Lincoln because he wasn't winning
 fast enough, Burnside was ordered to take the offensive. Being a toady,
 which is what Lincoln wanted, he went into an ill-advised offensive,
 got beaten very badly, and guess who was called back to service to save
 the Union capitol? McClellan.  He handily defeated the Confederates and
 saved the day, but was criticized for not destroying the rebel army. He
 was sacked again. The man who sacked McClellan was the same man who made
 the incompetent Burnsides general in chief, Mr. Lincoln.
 
 And, talk about a moving target. As the body counts got dramatically
 higher Lincoln kept raising the rhetoric, going from saving the Union
 (who really cares) to saving mankind (say what?). The Gettysburg address
 is a piece of work. I suspect that the occupation of Iraq will be easier
 than the occupation of the South after the Civil War.
 
 Joel

Hate to beat a dying horse, but. You're right McClellen a good training
soldier and good at logistics, but he was no field general. In his
advance on Yorktown he continually stop the march because he over
estimated the strength of forces opposing him and stopped to await
reinforcements. At the start of the campaign there was than a regiment
between him and Yorktown. His slow advance lead to one of his generals
labeling him the Virginia Creeper. By the time he got near Yorktown Lee
had rounded up 30,000 men to McClellan's 100,000+ and promptly engaged
McClellan in an attack on (anybody?) McClellan's lines of commuication!
They fought seven battles which you correctly pointed out McClellan
inflicted more causities on Lee's force than Lee inflicted on the Union
forces, but after every battle Lee held the ground and Little Mac
retreated south until he had to be evacuated.In this part of the country
we call that a defeat. Contrast that to Grant's battle of The Wilderness
(actually 7 battles)where Grant lost every battle measured in body count
but advanced south after every battle until Lee was bottled up in
Petersburg After an unsucessful attempt to breakout was forced to
surrender.Years later General Patton inelequently this as grabbing the
enemy by the nose and kicking him in the ass.Probably the greatest
tribute to McClellan's inability was paid by Robert E. Lee. When told
that Lincoln had replaced McClellan Lee said he hoped not because if
Lincoln kept doing that he would eventually find someone who could beat
him.

As for Burnside, he was a baffoon, but honest enough to admit it. When
Lincoln offered him supreme command he tried to turn it down. Even to
the point of telling Lincoln he was not fit for the command. So the
error was not with Burnside but with the administration selecting its
generals from the wine cheese Washington circuit.

Lee

P.S. once again apologize to those on the list who just want to do

My sources are the journals Science and Nature. I follow this rather closely,
since I am a Geophysicist and work in the oil industry. Really, only Exxon
and members of the administration do not believe global warming is taking place.
Even oil companies such as Shell and BP agree that global warming is a reality, 
and are trying to reduce carbon emissions accordingly.
I used to work at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, and
have followed this stuff quite closely for 25 years.

Mass Balance of Polar Ice Sheets

Eric Rignot,1 Robert H. Thomas2

Recent advances in the determination of the mass balance of polar ice sheets
show that the Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass by near-coastal thinning, and
that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, with thickening in the west and thinning in
the north, is probably thinning overall. The mass imbalance of the East
Antarctic Ice Sheet is likely to be small, but even its sign cannot yet be
determined. Large sectors of ice in southeast Greenland, the Amundsen Sea
Embayment of West Antarctica, and the Antarctic Peninsula are changing quite
rapidly as a result of processes not yet understood.

Estimated global-scale temperature trends at Earth's surface (as recorded by
thermometers) and in the lower troposphere (as monitored by satellites) diverge
by up to 0.14°C per decade over the period 1979 to 1998. Accounting for
differences in the spatial coverage of satellite and surface measurements
reduces this differential, but still leaves a statistically significant
residual of roughly 0.1°C per decade. Natural internal climate variability
alone, as simulated in three state-of-the-art coupled atmosphere-ocean models,
cannot completely explain this residual trend difference. A model forced by a
combination of anthropogenic factors and volcanic aerosols yields
surface-troposphere temperature trend differences closest to those observed.

Since 1979, polar-orbiting satellites have monitored atmospheric temperatures
on a global scale. Satellite temperature measurements are mass-weighted
averages of the microwave emissions from deep atmospheric layers (5). They are
not the same physical quantity as the near-surface temperatures monitored by
thermometers (6).

We show that the observed difference between surface and tropospheric

kdmrc, GUI front end, and comments

2003-03-29 Thread Joel Hammer
I got some help from folks a while back about configuring kdmrc. I
complained that it would have been nice to make kdmrc self explanatory,
since there is no man page for this configuration file.

Here is all I saw when I tried to configure kdmrc:

[Desktop0]
BackgroundMode=VerticalGradient
BlendBalance=100
BlendMode=NoBlending
ChangeInterval=60
etc


But, in my new install of lindows, here is what I have:
 
# KDM configuration example.
# Note, that all comments will be lost if you change this file with
# the kcontrol frontend.  
etc..

So, I guess I must have fooled around with the kcontrol configuration
tool with this file before I tried to configure it by hand. So, one more
reason to HATE GUI's. This sounds a lot like SWAT. I wonder if there
are other configuration files which lose all their comments if you use
a GUI front end to edit them.

  It displays almost OK in XP, but some buttons don't seem too work well
  and overall this page is a bit of a pain to navigate in any OS for me.

Even with my new lindows box and netscape, this link performs poorly.

I have it working under Netscape 7.02 without a problem. I downloaded 
the j2re package from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html 
called j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin. Did the following:
chmod +x j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin
rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
/usr/local/netscape7.02/plugins/

After that, it worked fine. It was one of those small projects I'd never 
gotten around to, but it was a simple fix.

Satellite Linux

2003-03-29 Thread Andrew Mathews
On Thursday I finally had my broadband satellite installed. It's a 
DW4020 from Skycasters ( http://skycasters.com ) and it works 
beautifully. It's a bit pricey, ($1,800 installed) and there's a 
noticeable delay of 1-2 seconds, but once a data stream is initiated it 
runs very well. I have the 400k down, 128k up package and it's $129 per 
month with a static ip. Knock $10 off for dynamic. It comes with a 4 
port hub that will do NAT if you're dynamic ip'd. I have absolutely zero 
problems running all my boxen behind a single system doing masquerading. 
I was a bit concerned about getting my syslogs to relay, but even that 
was a breeze. Luckily, I didn't have to fund the whole thing, or the 
monthly fees, and it sure beats dialup. Now to set up a FreeS/WAN 
connection to my mirror server.
