If you have Tarantella installed and running, you don't need anything

and let them have a shell.  They will have an icon for it in the left

 says the floppy drive can't recognize the file system on the floppy

I have run into this problem, as well.  I finally found out that the
distro
I was using, installed a Minix file system on the floppy before copying
the
boot data to the disk.  YMMV.  I think I was running a SuSE distro at
the
time.  Seems to me they used the minix fs to save space on the floppy.

If you are running SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 Pro, check the Reference Manual -
look in
the index for boot disks or rescue disks.  Sorry I can't give you more
specific information.

OTOH, since you *are* running a recent SuSE distro, you should be able
to
make a duplicate in YaST 2.  Look at YaST 2=Control Center=System, and
then under boot disks or rescue disks - I'm kinda hazy on the last stop,
there.

RE: StepXStep CD BURNERS-IDE

2002-01-11 Thread Net Llama

Your terminology is inaccurate.  A CDR is a CD Recorder (CD burner).  a
CDRW is a burner that can also blank  rewrite CDs.  An ordinary old
drive is a CDROM.
Please see the Step-by-Step website (in my sig) for help setting up your
CD burner in Linux.

Its possible that your winmodem might work in Linux, but you'll need to
research it at http://www.linmodems.org

For the least amount of hassle, purchase a real modem.

Re: Copying boot disk

2002-01-11 Thread Glenn Williams

Hello, Lee:

I don't wish to belabor this point.  Evidently I was misunderstood, or 
perhaps there were errors in what I wrote.

Four or 5 months ago, I tried to make a copy of the LILO boot floppy 
that was created when I installed SuSE Linux 7.2  I discovered it was 
impossible to do so.  I later read that the reason it can't be copied 
has to do with the unique file system installed on the floppy disk 
before the boot info is copied to the disk.

Ron White related a similar experience, IIRC.  I believe he wrote to 
SuSE to ask why he was unable to copy his LILO boot floppy.  As I 
recall, he did not get a satisfactory explanation.

I sent a more detailed message to you privately in hopes it would be 
clearer than the vague procedure I outlined in my first reply to you.

Moments ago, to prove (again) to myself that it could be done, I 
duplicated that procedure, and created a LILO boot floppy,  not an 
installation boot disk.  Here's what I did:

Click the YaST2 icon in the panel.  Click Control 
Center=System=Configure Boot Mode.  A Custom LILO Installation dialog 
appears.  There are 4 radio buttons; click the 2nd button (Create boot 
floppy).  You may not be prompted to insert a (IBM) formatted floppy; 
do so anyway.

I was lucky - several nights ago, we had a 1 hour power outage, 
complete with surges and sags.  Both my Linux/Windows XP machines were 
running.  When the dust settled, I could not boot into this Linux 
automatically using the LILO on the hard drive.  I whipped out my 
handy-dandy LILO boot floppy, repaired LILO on the hard disk and went 
merrily on my way.

Best regards,

Glenn

[whole lotta snippin']

 I'm not sure what you mean by a boot floppy.  If you mean a floppy
that
 boots a kernel it contains (and probably mounts / as a ramdisk
contained on
 another floppy) then what you did or dd are both good ways to make
another.

Well, as I said, I was unable to read the LILO floppy by any means I
knew of, back then.  I *assume* there's a copy of LILO on the disk, and
it simply runs LILO to boot the installed system(s).  In SuSE 7.2 and
7.3, creating the LILO floppy is an option offered during the
installation.  Sometimes it is *not* an option - it is done by default.
In just such a case, that was initially the reason I wanted to copy it
(to a file on the hard drive) - so I could then use a readable copy to
build my /etc/lilo.conf on the hard drive, which the installation failed
to create on my hard drive.

I didn't try the method Bruce suggested - but I am sure I will do so at
my next opportunity, since it's a little easier than the YaST2 method.

I dont' have floppies, period, on any of my systems. (well ok, one ls120 
external)

this leaves me exposed to boot problems.

the answer is, boot from *any* cd-bootable linux distro and type the magic 
words

linux single root=/dev/somewhere boot=/dev/somewhere_else noinitrd

all verbs except noinitrd are optional in the sense that they are dependant 
on what exactly it is you're trying to 'get at'.

What are the consequences of not setting the genuflection bit?
(Something about the execution bit occurs to me)

Re: More Steps Jan 12

2002-01-11 Thread Ken Moffat

Excellent. I just added the append=hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi line and
ran lilo, and now all 3 of my linux distros (Libranet, ELX and RedHat7.1)
recognize both cdr's as scsi. I guess that will make xcdroast happy. Only
the Libranet distro would show both cd's when I ran 'cdrecord -scanbus',
now they all do. Thanks, also, for the kde2 soundbug fix. 

I wonder what you mean by finishes off the @#$% append = statement? Do
you mean 'explains it completely' or that you can't stand it?

Your terminology is inaccurate.  A CDR is a CD Recorder (CD burner).  a
CDRW is a burner that can also blank  rewrite CDs.  An ordinary old
drive is a CDROM.
Please see the Step-by-Step website (in my sig) for help setting up your
CD burner in Linux.

Its possible that your winmodem might work in Linux, but you'll need to
research it at http://www.linmodems.org

For the least amount of hassle, purchase a real modem.

 Sir, 
 On is CD-R (only reader) and other is CD-RW(burner) and I want to keep
 both so that if I want to copy a CD it can be done directly through
 main
 memory(Diskcopy like concept) and not to bother HDD for it.
 
 I also has to make my Linux to connect to internet but I have
 Winmodem.
 Can it go or should I purchase external modem.

 Unless you have a really, really weird CDRW, it doesn't reside in an
 OS,
 its a physical device.  
 Setting it up is the same exact process as you used to setup the CDR.
 If you don't mind me asking, why do you have 2 burners on the same
 box?

  Sir, 
  I am rephrasing the thing.
  I have windows XP on one partition.
  I have Linux(SUSE 7.1, kernel 2.4) on another
  On windows partition there is a 16x CD-RW of Priya(a local company).
  
  I want this CDRW to work also with Linux as my ASUS CD-R is working.
 I
  was asking from where I will find the STEP x STEP tutorial for this.
 
  
  If I am still unclear you can mail me again.

  I'm not following you here.  Do you need help installing Linux,
  setting
  up a CDRW in Linux, or something else entirely?
