[newbie] boot floppy w/ forced cdrom
Hi all, I'm happy to say I was finally able to append = "hdc=cdrom" to my lilo.conf and my CD-ROM drive is detected more often than not. 1.) I wondered if someone could tell me how to do the equivalent when using a boot disk, just in case I need to use one someday. It'd be great to boot with a boot disk and know I was getting CD-ROM support (otherwise I won't). 2.) It doesn't seem like a big deal, but also I have this happen when booting with my forced CD-ROM setup. It says that the IRQ probe failed (0). Is there maybe a line I can put in my lilo.conf to help it out? Right now it takes my word for it that I have a CD-ROM but you know, well some of us are a little bit anal about it all ;-) Karen
[newbie] Hostile probe?
This morning I found unusual log entries in my syslog that indicated that "amq requested mount of" and then a buch of letters and symbols. Further down in the log I found an entry of rpc.statd that states "STAT_FAIL to /i for SM_MON of" and again a lot of unusual symbols and letters. On further down in the log is another entry that states "nfs: RPC call returned error 111" followed by and entry "RPC task of released request still queued!" and "(task is on exprt_pending)" I have never seen these type entries before. This machine is connected to the net by a dialup. Does this reflect some type of attempt to probe the machine? Thanks.

The X Window System is not something that was created for Linux, it predates it by quite a few years. Beyond that, it's amazing to see that people have been so thoroughly brainwashed by the Microsoft marketing train. Do you really believe that computing didn't exist prior to Microsoft Windows?
