Re: Netscape 6.2 and aol mail
Just more more info. I called Comcast and they (the nice lady at the other end of the line) claimed that this 10.xx. ip number has nothing to do with comcast. She suggested a virus. This is getting irritating. I will try to call aol next.

Eventually, we're supposed to be able to set up a total of 7 e-mail addresses. They will not guarantee that all non-primary users will get the same e-mail address names. Things to Keep in Mind: * Your e-mail address will change from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1) * Coming soon, you will have the ability to create up to 6 additional e-mail addresses (for a total of 7) should you prefer to use a different e-mail address than the one provided above.

You can get a copy of Tom's Linux to have on hand for this kind of thing. http://www.toms.net/rb/ It's Linux on a floppy and you can use it with the 'root=/dev/hd??' parameter to get booted on to your root partition using tom's kernel. If that fails, you can run e2fsck if needed or mount the partition if possible. It's nice to have around. You can install it in Windows or Linux, whatever you have available. Booting with the cdrom as was suggested is good too. You can try that with 'linux root=/dev/hd??' where ?? is the drive and partition number of your root partition. That might get you booted. But then maybe you have already done that and just want to know how to make the boot disk. I know the command in Debian is 'mkboot' and in RH it is 'mkbootdisk' Once you get on your system try 'apropos bootdisk' and maybe that will turn up the right command. Then 'man ' to see how to run it. Anita ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
