I was cautious not to trash any partitions with data on them (luckily there was already a free one ready to use, albeit with the MSDOS filesystem on it). I had to go through it a couple of times to fix mistakes I had made when I realized them, but that was no big deal. My installation took... uhm... around 600MB (but you can cut it down). How much do you have free?
Re: [newbie] Installing
Now, if you want to share your Computer between Windows and Linux, you will have to get advice elsewhere. But I would strongly suggest a second hard drive by itself for Linux; it works best. In RedHat mailing list it was unearthed that in a significant number of cases Windows 98 (but not 95) gets annoyed sometimes at sharing the drive with Linux and corrupts it or wipes it out. 98 never bothers a second drive. Hehehe. I'm glad I don't have to put up with 98! My question. On my PC, I have two hard disks installed. The first one is--get this--125 MB or so. Long ago I had to DoubleSpace it so that I could actually do things with it. That was just fine. I accepted the fact that it was no undoable. Then I got Windows 95, which promised that it would be able to undo it (guess what--it can't even reboot into the special mode for exorcising DoubleSpace). I made do for a while, but I eventually got a big disk (3 gigabytes or so, I think) and installed it as well. Since I don't have documentation to tell me how to change which drive is the first one, I'm stuck with booting from that little disk. In order to start Linux, which is on the second partition of the second disk, I need a boot floppy. My question: How can I get LILO to prompt me on which OS to use on booting without the use of floppies? Caveat: The second disk can't be recognized by DOS unless a special Ontrack driver is loaded (which is loaded from the first disk's master boot record). Well?

My modem is internal as well and might be a Winmodem (which will never be supported by Linux). Maybe your modem is a Winmodem? In case you don't know, a Winmodem is a modem that leaves it up to the CPU to do things like compression (which are the modem's responsibility). They degrade performance, are hard to work with, and unfortunately are becoming increasingly common. I hope I haven't mistranslated... my only foreign language course so far was a year of high school Spanish I.

Re: [newbie] Installing
I don't know about that "special driver" you mention. It sounds like a problem with your motherboard (or IDE controller not recognizing 2 disks). If that's so, then what I'm about to say won't help, and may even hurt (you'd have to re-format the MBR and put that "special driver" on again). /etc/lilo.conf is the config file for lilo. When you run /sbin/lilo, it will read this config file (or another if you use the -C option). */etc/lilo.conf (on my machine): boot=/dev/hda #tells where to put LILO (in the MBA of #the first IDE drive) map=/boot/map #Specifies location of map file install=/boot/boot.b#Which file to install in boot sector? prompt #Tells LILO to prompt before booting timeout=50 #Wait 50 tenths of a second before going to #default selection image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk #Kernel image to load label=linux #What you type at the lilo prompt root=/dev/hda1 #Which file system is / (root) read-only #Mount the root fs as read-only (in case #it has errors) Instead of an "image=..." entry for Linux kernels, you need an "other=..." entry for another OS. You need to add an entry like this (at the bottom of the file): other=/dev/hda2 #Which partition's boot sector do I load? label=dos #What you ype at the lilo prompt table=/dev/hda #Pass this partition table table to the other OS You might try this, to see if it works. Be sure to save all your boot disks, at least the first time, just in case. Be sure to modify this as is appropriate for your system. -Matt On Wed, 21 Jul 1999, Andy Goth wrote: My question: How can I get LILO to prompt me on which OS to use on booting without the use of floppies?

[newbie] Re: Linux/MS networking connectivity was (no subject)
What you are talking about is SAMBA. It's not that it's impossible it's just that there is some planning and configuration that needs to be done on both ends. First you should (or the MCSE's should visit ) www.samba.org all of the doc's are there. Now you seem to imply that you want the linux box to be a client to the NT box in the NT domain? If this is true then look at this doc about Joining an NT domain with Samba 2.0 Another thing is encrypted passwords, look into that. As a word of caution, MS networking doesn't play nice with others, in other words what is "OK" in MS networking doesn't always work in the pure TCP/IP way of doing things. I've seen some messy NT Domain's that require days of work to "fix" too get them to work the way TCP/IP is meant to be used. Two examples, one-name computer names, (i.e. Sally has a PC with the IP 192.168.55.27 and the name of sally, not sally.ntdom.com) and spaces in the computer name (i.e. kit gloves) I know that Most MCSE's wouldn't allow this due to "best practices" but I've seen it and it's not good if you have to deal with it. Windows networking in general allows for sloppy configuration, which just doesn't cut it for pure TCP/IP networks. The reason for this is in part due to NetBIOS, but is also helped along by MS things like WINS, and NetBEUI. I've seen a configuration that I was consulting Client on, they had an NT server that had TCP/IP and NetBEUI configured. The company I worked for at the time had a pure TCP/IP client/server product on the Clients system. The complaint was that this product was giving flaky performance. The Client kept pointing there finger at us, because they could xfer files between the NT server and the windows clients but our software was taking hours to do 15 minutes worth of work. To top it off some of the windows workstations didn't even connect between our client/server software. First thing they had wrong, running NetBEUI. Because NetBEUI provides NetBIOS level linkage between all of the Microsoft boxes that made it seem like the problem was with our software. First thing I did was told everyone that I know what the problem is and to prove it when I turn off NetBEUI on the server every thing will stop working. It did. Next thing no name resolution, they where running with an out of date and typo ridden hosts file. Next thing hostnames, or NetBIOS names with spaces in them, bad, bad, bad, not going to work. The last thing I can remember I found was that they we're using a class B TCP/IP network number on the server and class A netmasks on the client boxes. I'm sorry if this was more then you wanted to know but I just started getting into this whole thing and I started remembering all stuff that can go wrong.

What we want is to test out having say 100+ of our units pinging us at the same time. Then have a Program that reads the UDP packet look for a certain String/header etc.. and send information back to the unit.. If someone knows about this or how to do it Please let me know.. Also If you would like to Email me a answer to my personal email account please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, James J. Capone Also if you goto http://www.ptm.com you can see what we do Thanks Again === Webmaster http://www.linuxuser.8m.com Webmaster http://www.teammajestic.8m.com Asst.

Re: [newbie] printing from netscape
For me, once I set up my printer for Linux in general all I have to do is hit the print button and make sure that it's set to print to lpr and portrait and letter. However, I can't get Star Office to print . . . . On Wed, 21 Jul 1999, you wrote: Does anyone know how to print from netscape? TIA Lyndon Lininger Sr. -- Ty C. Mixon ICQ #: 26147713 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] SAMBA why so dificult?
I have installed linux several times. This procedure always works. 1. Edit /etc/smb.conf and change the following MAKE SURE that the line "workgroup = MYGROUP' is CHANGED to be "workgroup = (what ever you have in windows under workgroup in settings-control panel-network-identification" 2. Change the line 'security = user' to security = share' 3. Uncomment (take out the semi-colon) the section that looks like this: ;[public] ;path = /home/samba ;public = yes ;writable = yes ;printable = no 4. If you want your whole linux machine to show up in windows, change the above "path = /home/samba" to 'path = /", otherwise, only the /home/samba directory will be available to windows. 5. Shutdown and restart samba or reboot you linux machine and it will be visible in windows network neighborhood.

Re: [newbie] printing from netscape
Hmm...do you have your printer set up in Linux? That's What about setting up the printer in Netscape IIRC (unfortunately, not running Linux here yet, and don't currently have access to a Linux box at this moment...) Netscape has it's own Printer config options, plus you have to configure your printer specifically in Xwindows (I think) as well as just generally defining it for Linux. Unfortunately, I haven't done more than glance at the printer configs as I don't have access to a printer at work where I run Linux.

Re: [newbie] problème de modem
Thank you for your answer. By the way you understood the whole question very well. Cool. My modem is an Olitec 56k, and I bought it 3 days ago. Did you intend to use it with Linux when you got it? Do you have the ability to exchange it for another one that's more Linux-friendly? I heard that it did only work with windows, but that some people were working on a special driver that could make it work with linux. Did you hear of it ?? No. I haven't heard. When did you find out that it was Windows-only? Try using it in DOS (with no Windows running)--if you have DOS. It shouldn't work if it's a Winmodem.
Re: [newbie] Sound -- probably revisited.
Try logging in as "root" and running (in text console mode) "sndconfig" and see if that doesn't work. Default RedHat6/Mandrake 6 kernels SHOULD come with the SB16 sound installed. What are the settings on this card, btw? Are they the "standard" IRQ5 (or 7) I/O 220, etc? or are they non-standard? Also, is this an ISP PNP card or is this one of the old "jumper-configured" cards? What else do you have (hardware wise) in your system which might be conflicting with the sound card? What about a modem? What brand/model of modem do you have in there? Is it a card, and if so, ISA or PCI? (Chances are if it's PCI, it's a "WinModem" with one known exception, and if so, ditch it, 'cause it wont' work!)

Re: [newbie] Installing
With normal IDE-drives you would just switch the master (MA) and the slave jumpers (SL). With SCSI-drives you would change the assigned SCSI-ID's. I get the impression it starts to count from 6 downwards for assigning drive letters. In your case I wouldn't repair what isn't broken. They're IDE. I know how to do master and slave jumpers with the new disk, but I don't know the settings for the old one. I don't even know what the old one's name is! Maybe the Ontrack configuration utility can tell me: It has tons of information on hard disks and was able to identify my old disk. Can you describe the process?
Re: [newbie] Sound -- probably revisited.
Have you run 'sndconfig' yet? I know that Red Hat 5.1 has a program called setup that presents you with a menu of configurators to choose from. It might be in Mandrake, too. Try it.
Re: [newbie] Installing
I don't know about that "special driver" you mention. It sounds like a problem with your motherboard (or IDE controller not recognizing 2 disks). If that's so, then what I'm about to say won't help, and may even hurt (you'd have to re-format the MBR and put that "special driver" on again). Both disks are recognized, but DOS can't seem to handle the second disk without the driver. Maybe it has some optimized low-level format. I saw an improved format command that managed to fit maybe two megabytes on a 1.44MB floppy, but special DOS-only drivers were needed for DOS to understand them. Windows, on the other hand, will modify any disk put in a drive that doesn't already support long file names. The two don't mix! /etc/lilo.conf is the config file for lilo. When you run /sbin/lilo, it will read this config file (or another if you use the -C option). I know. And then it will reconfigure a boot sector to conform with the options. */etc/lilo.conf (on my machine): boot=/dev/hda #tells where to put LILO (in the MBA of #the first IDE drive) I'll do that. map=/boot/map #Specifies location of map file install=/boot/boot.b#Which file to install in boot sector? prompt #Tells LILO to prompt before booting timeout=50 #Wait 50 tenths of a second before going to #default selection image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk #Kernel image to load label=linux #What you type at the lilo prompt root=/dev/hda1 #Which file system is / (root) If I don't swap my master and slave disks, then I'll have to change this to be /dev/hdb5. I first formatted this disk to have two partitions. Obviously it made the second one an extended partition. What's the difference between an extended partition and the other kind? The kind that would be called hdb2? read-only #Mount the root fs as read-only (in case #it has errors) Instead of an "image=..." entry for Linux kernels, you need an "other=..." entry for another OS. You need to add an entry like this (at the bottom of the file): other=/dev/hda2 #Which partition's boot sector do I load? /dev/hda1, unless I change. label=dos #What you type at the lilo prompt table=/dev/hda #Pass this partition table table to the other OS What does that last line mean? You might try this, to see if it works. Be sure to save all your boot disks, at least the first time, just in case. Be sure to modify this as is appropriate for your system.
Re: [newbie] Installing
Best way is to find out what kind it is,but the next best is to look closely at the bottom.and see how many jumpers there are on it,on most drives there's only one,and that will be in the master position already,so just move the jumper over one set of pins and you should be in slave position. Sometimes you run into a drive that has a pin you need to add to slave it,but not all that often. look close for ma/sl/cs near the pins,master/slave/cable select It should get it up and running in no time merc.
