Re: [newbie] 6.1 install problem
Kevinok, before I began this reply I dug out my boot floppy (a HD 1.44 floppy disc made into a boot disc in a standard 3 1/2" drive) and stuck it in my ls-120, then rebooted (I set the bios to boot the Ls-120). It was excruciatingly slow (much slower than a standard floppy boot), but booted the system just fine. Ok, that's the bios doing that, not Linux. To get the ls-120 mounted in Linux we need a directory to mount it on. Mine is '/mnt/ls-120'. Then an entry in '/etc/fstab', here's mine: /dev/hda/mnt/ls-120 vfatnoauto,user,exec0 0 hda indicates that my ls-120 is connected to the primary ide controller as the master drive. Most likely yours is different. I have a SCSI hard drive and cdrom so the only device on my ide controller is my ls-120. Anyway, if your ls-120 is the slave on the primary ide controller it'll be hdb, or the if it's the master on the secondary ide controller it'll be hdc, or if it's the slave on the secondary ide controller it'll be hdd. I'll assume you can now go ahead and mount it via the console command or create a desktop icon to do it without further help from me, but if not just give a yell. Alan Kevin Sexton wrote: I have the messages back to september, and don't see any resolution to the problem, I don't seem to be able to mount the drive, the light doesn't even light. Alan Shoemaker wrote: Kevinthe Ls-120 problem was discussed at great length several months ago on either this list or the expert list. I believe the bottom line was that an HD floppy with the boot info on it would boot fine in an LS-120 drive, but there was no practical way to make a boot floppy using an Ls-120. Alan Kevin Sexton wrote: I have had 6.1 installed(from download), and working, and now am trying to reinstall from powerpack CD's. my CD-Rom is bootable, but when the install gets to making a boot disk, it stops, without accessing the floppy drive(actually a: is ls-120 with floppy disk, is bootable, fully functional). If I skip making the floppy I get an error after choosing boot options, no matter how I try to set it up (MBR or first boot partition, linux or dos as default) Ok I rearranged partitions and got it to install before sending this message, without making a boot disk, but linux still doesn't seem to recognize the LS-120. I will try to get more info, if replies don't help, but I'm out of time right now.

Re: [newbie] A question about installation process
I'm assuming your windows partition is 8G? the only way to boot to a partition past the first 2G is to use a boot floppy so make one when you get the chance. if you're having problems with creating the partition itself: 1-are you creating ONLY a linux native partition or also a swap partition and whatever else you need? suggestions: first off use the utilities on the cd to backup you master boot record prior to setting up linux. do not resize your partition if you haven't run scan disk and defrag to push everything to the front of the drive. the fdisk command may be the only way you have to certainly place the partition so that it won't I however do not know how to get the fdisk command started in the new install environment.

[newbie] Q's concerning Kppp and Lilo
Hi I'm new to the list and to Mandrake 7.0 and I've got a couple questions that have been discussed recently but I've come in on the tail end of the conversations so if someone can fill me in it would much appreciated. 1 I can connect to my ISP using Kppp and I can ping th remote server and other servers how ever i can't browse or receive mail using any program. I read in the help files that a DNS IP address needs to be specified. So I put in the remote server IP address and then netscape would attempt to connect but come back with the error message that the address is invalid or something like that. Am I correct in assuming that I need to put in the IP address of a real DNS and then it should work? Does any one have an IP address I could use or should I get one of my ISP? 2 I had to re-install W98 after Linux which removed Lilo from my system. How do I put this back on with out re-installing Linux? Also I am having the half memory detected problem. I can fix this at the Lilo prompt with "linux mem=128" but how do I set it up so Lilo will do this automatically? 3 How does Peer to Peer networking work with Linux? I have it connected to a Windows box. What is the Linux equivilant of Network Neighbourhood? Thanks Sean Geoghegan

[newbie] re:Installaion problems 9GB disk
Hello You will need to give up some of your disk space which is now reserved for windows to the Linux operating system. I suggest that you use Partition Magic 4.01 or 5.0 (newer and more expensive than 4.01) to do this job. You will need to defragment your files on the windows partition (the area of the disk reserved for the windows operating system) before you use Partition Magic. If you have a choice of Linux, I would suggest Mandrake 6.1 or perhaps the latest version of Mandrake, 7.0-2. If you are worried about using a powerful program like Partition Magic to re-partition your disk then do not do it. Either ask a friend who knows how to do this job properly or forget about installing Linux, any version of Linux, on the same hard disk as windows. I am writing this from past unpleasant experience, so please be warned. Ron Ilmainen Internet @ http://www.nic.fi/

The network my computer's on was down for a while earlier. It's now up, but I can't get a stable connection under Linux. If I run dhcpcd -k and then restart the daemon, it works for a while and then dies (i.e. my telnet sessions freeze and netscape can't connect to any server). Windows under vmware seems to be working fine. I'm wondering if maybe someone is using my ip as a static ip address (I don't think it's the first time it's happened) so is there a way to force dhcpcd to get a new ip address?

(partition type linus swap)" personally I set it up so that no gui's open automatically. then i start xinit (this start xwindows) then type the gui you want to load kde or enlightenment I like enlightenment my 6 yr old likes the kde the only reason I did this was because I need to learn the commands to function from the prompt not a gui. - Original Message - From: Frank Rocco [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 12:23 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] Second request - gnome slow on Mandrake 7.0 Thanks, please send me the ratios and how to apply them.

I've just installed Mandrake 7.0. I have a Diamond Monstor Fusion video card (like a 3dfx voodoo banshee). Everything was working fine as far as the display goes, but then something happened and every time I execute startx and go into gnome or kde, the screen is so dark thatI have to turn my monitor brightness all the way up and I still can barely see anything. Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong and how I would correct the problem? Since Gnome and KDE displayed fine before this, I would assume it's not a problem with campatibility with myvideo card.

RE: [newbie] Re: [expert] WebServer Software
Am working with a customer who has purchased NetMax. Interesting product, but the boxed product is based upon RH 5.2 with the 2.0 Kernel. They have an updated available to the 2.2 kernel, but you have to have them send out the CD. (Perhaps you can order direct from them). Looking at the install, there are a number of packages that appear to be modified by Netmax, this may increase security, but that will remain to be seen. (My questions is if a package has been modified by Netmax, then RH puts out a security fix, do I have to wait for NetMax to put it out? Don't know.) Other than that, Net max just puts a browser interface on a 5.2 system so that you can administer it remotely. Allows a graphical setup of ipfwadm rules. Kind of slick for the newbie, but I think you could do the same with standard RH and not have to pay the $100 or so. I would rather rely on RH and the open source community for updates than another vendor. One problem we have run into is using multiple interfaces. We have installed three nic cards- 1 to the ISDN adapter, 1 to the public Web site and one to the private LAN. Thought was we could use different firewalling rules to keep the private LAN secure while allowing more traffic to the public website. It has not been easy going. We especially are having trouble getting mail traffic to the mail server on the private LAN. Are investigating port redirecting, but that is not a part of NetMax. There is an RPM, but again, if I install a non-NetMax rpm to redirect mail traffic to my mail server, what will that do to the NetMax firewall? Don't know. Once we get the 2.2 update, I'll try to get back with more info. -Original Message- From: Matt Denton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 10:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Newbie Mandrake List Subject: [newbie] Re: [expert] WebServer Software I wasn't paying attention but I'm guessing it's Netmax @ http://www.netmax.com/ who sells also a stripped-down GUI-based firewall product, which I was reading about the other day.
