[newbie] How do i go about doing a MD7.1 install on 2nd drive
I just got the 7.1 Inst and Ext CD in mail, I built a new computer was was going to get a second hardrive to put linux on and keep the other for windows (for games of course). How would I got about making it so when i turn on computer I get a option to go into Linux or windows? The way I understood it was LILO and Grub were just for Partions on 1 drive..is this correct or would i still use them with the seond drive? Thanks, markOpoleO
Re: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
Nope, I'm not using your provider. But this is the first I hear of a cablemodem having a MAC address, too, so you could be right. It's either an extra EEPROM chip in the cablemodem or some such piece of equipment if thats the case. With mine, you need to contact them if you change your NIC. Then they scan your system, get the MAC, and your back up. Here, it's actually the MAC address that ID's you to them, and then they can connect you. It's probably the same 4 U, but as you say, the address comes from your cablemodem. Hmmm,..you just never know, do ya?

Re: [newbie] BSOD (fwd, fun)
Mandrake does not install well on livestock or domestic pets. Please do not write for support on these installs to this mailing list!

Re: [newbie] Kppp and Networking
OK, I think I've learned something tonite... Mandrake seems to like adding the line: ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY to the /etc/hosts.deny file. Since this is the case, you'll need to remove it and add your internal client (Box2) to the /etc/hosts/allow file on Box1 with: ALL:ALL 192.168.100.2:ACCEPT this should clear a few things up and we can continue. > Do I have to use a Firewall anyway? Yes, actually, firewalling in linux can do two things: protect your machine from hackers, and masquerade internal IP addresses so that more than one box can access the internet. (and other things, but that's enough for now). Download the pmfirewall tarball from www.pointman.org and we can get that install to establish firewall rules, and masquerading in a very easy installation script. For the file and printer sharing, if Box2 is a windows box, you'll need to install Samba, if not we're much closer. The firewall: once you've downloaded the tarball for pmfirewall, gunzip and untar it (gunzip filename, then tar -xvf filename). cd to the pmfirewall directory, and type ./install (that's: dot-slash, then install--I still can't see them dots!) The first thing you'll be asked for is a directory, choose the default. Then for your external interface, type: ppp0 say no to almost everything, unless you plan to run ftp, ssh, httpd, etc. And if you use chat rooms, say yes to IDENT. You'll be asked if you'd like to open ports for special IP ranges, just press enter, Mostly, the defaults are what you'd like to select. You'll then be asked if you want pmfirewall to autmatically detect your external IP, say yes. then You'll be given the option to masquerade, say yes. The internal interface is eth0. Automatic detection of IPs is good. Say yes. pmfirewall should be set up at this point (if I've missed anything, simply select the default setting). Just to make sure, cd into /usr/local/pmfirewall and type: ./pmfirewall restart You should see you IP address listed correctly. At this point, you should be able to ping straight through your new firewall, from Box2 out to the internet. Now, I'd suggest you go to www.psionic.com, and get yourself portsentry. When you've done that we can install portsentry and really tighten up your firewall box. --Greg > Configuration is Internet <==> [Modem--Box1--NIC] <==> HUB <==> > [NIC--Box2]> > Box2 also has a modem.

Re: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
Mifune; Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) set up your cable modem with one specific network card. The first thing to remember is that you MUST use that network card ! Each network card ( No matter who built it ), has a distinct MAC ( Machine Access Code ). That code is only used on your card. It is not transferrable to another card and it is how your ISP identifies your computer when you're connecting. I just learned this the hard way 2 days ago. There is almost nothing to configure in Mandrake. Go to Drakconf, Network Configuration, find your NIC (Network Interface Card). You don't need to put anything in for Host Name + Domain, or Alias. Make sure that the "Enabled" button is turned on (Pushed in), and make sure that you've selected DHCP as well. That should do it. You can also enter your DNS numbers which you will find on your ISP's web-site. If you have all of that configured, everything should be fine. Make sure that you have not enabled ADSL, PPPOE, or ISDN anywhere is Drakconf. At the worst, you may want to reboot, just to make sure everything is O.K. That's all. - Original Message - From: Mifune To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 4:59 PM Subject: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0 Hi, I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my computer.

Re: [newbie] Free ISPs Compatible With Linux
The key word in this discussion is "Free". Regular ISP's work just fine, but free one's usually require you to run a .exe that displays ads while your connected. And since they don't make a Linux version of those ad programs, you can't connect to the free ISP. > I dont know what all this fuss is about, unless us isps work differently > than uk.

Re: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
I am further than I was: inetd was not starting. What script is inetd normally started from? I should add that this system was installed with the "secure" option, so it probably isn't doing lots of things that a default installation would do automatically. For example, I also need to get it to start lpd automatically. I have pretty good reasons for security as you can probably divine from my email address, so I don't want to just start with a default configuration. Nonetheless, I am still stuck. The computer no longer refuses all connections, but closes telnet/ftp after a few seconds without prompting for login.

[newbie] (newbie) Help: Mandrake 7.1 and Weird X
Hi all, I installed Mandrake 7.1. When I typed startx, I would get a blue screen with the mouse and then the X windows would close with the message "Waiting for X to shut down". Someone told me it is a problem with KDE and I should instead use xinit to start. So, I tried that with icewm-gnome, twm, and other window managers. it works! I get the X-windows, including a clock at the bottom right corner, and all the menus in each of the window managers. Netscape starts, so do xpdf, xv and rxvt. But NONE of the other applications start. Nothing happens or else I get a skeleton box that dies. Sometimes there is a core dump, sometimes there isn't. What could be the problem? Help! Once this gets solved, I need to fingure out how to connect my modem. But that will be another story I guess :-).

[newbie] Transparent proxying
I tried to set up transparent proxy, but didn't make it. I think that the problem is, that I don't have my kernel compiled with Transparent proxy support, is there a way to check that out?? Well recompiled my kernel (using kernel-2.3.9), but I was unable to boot it so I restored the old one back. I noticed that that the is no source of the kernel I am using (kernel-2.2.13-7mdk) on CD of mandrake linux so I used that one. Where can I get src file of that or some newer kernel??

[newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
Hi, I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my computer. I would like to configure my internetconnection using a cable modem. The only information to do so that I found concerns Mandrake 6.0 This tells me to go to control panel, select network configuration (of course), and then select interfaces. But the network configuration panel of Mandrake 7.0 gives me no such option. I get the options: Basic host information, Name server specifications, Routings and gateways, Host name search path, NIS, IPX interface and PPP/SLP/PIP. Can somebody help me?

Anything like Linuxconf or 'timetool', is just gonna use 'hwclock' to set the system/bios time. Anyhow, try again connect, then run the rdate command to a time server. Now, if the system time is correct, run hwclock --systohc (as root) which should set your hardware clock in bios to the time you just corrected in software (system). If this doesn't work, you've got somethin amiss in hardware/bios. Last resort: reboot the system and enter bios, set the correct time there. If this still doesn't work, the next thing would be to replace the battery on the motherboard. If this doesn't work, and you can't live with the wrong time... replace the motherboard. Always buy the best motherboard you can find, break the piggy bank. Nothing in your system will work better than the motherboard will let it or help it to. -- ~~ Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] Kppp and Networking

Re: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Hi all -- I assume this is a response to Donald Welker's original and then follow-up query about FTP and Telnet. I agree with Greg that the config is quirky, but I disagree that it is a matter of login name/password on the local machine. I was actually able to fix FTP (but not Telnet) on my server by adjusting the allow/deny parts of the config. Now I can and do FTP from windows and Linux machines to the server even though one of the linux and none of the windows machines has ever heard of root or the name I usually go by when using the Linux Server. For FTP, find the allow/deny portion of the config (I think that changing this is what security actually does -- or at least one of the things it does), and allow the machines you WANT to FTP from and make sure those machines aren't denied. It should work. Now, can somebody tell me what to do to get Telnet to work? Uncommenting the daemons in inetd.conf will get telnetd turned on, so that a telnet command will connect to the server, but the server will then refuse the connection. pete On Sun, 20 Aug 2000 14:23:35 -0400, Greg Stewart wrote: >Are you attempting to telnet in from a machine where you are logged in using >an account with the same username/password, or a different one? > >I had/have lots of problems with remote logins using ssh on my MDK box, and >I've taken security down to "low" through that DrakConf crap which I had to >find and install manually.

RE: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Hi -- You're having the same trouble I had/have. There's a part of your inetd.conf (I think) file where it allows you to allow or deny access to various IP numbers. Take a look at these. Uncommenting the lines in inetd.conf just starts the daemons. However, you probably have the default status of denying access to all workstations. Remove this denial. This should allow FTP. At least it did for me. Alas it probably won't allow telnet (at least it didn't for me). Can anybody out there tell us BOTH how to enable telnet to work? pete On Sun, 20 Aug 2000 12:48:11 -0400, Welker Donald P NPRI wrote: >ftp and telnet lines are both uncommented but connections are refused even >between the Linux computer and itself (including localhost). > >> >I would like to be able to telnet to my Linux box and/or use >> X from a remote >> >system.

[newbie] RPMLIB missing?
I have downloaded the new Netscape packages from cooker but when I try to install "common" I get a message that says I have a dependency missing in the form of "rpmlib". I can't find it on the cooker or on my CDs. Can someone point me the right way. I had the 128 bit before but I got my files and other things like netscape so messed up with fooling around making changes that I finally just reinstalled. Nothing installs the same twice.

Re: [newbie] PHP
I don't use it myself, but one of the SysEng guys I work with just set up Apache, MySQL, and PHP, along with writing a web-dased DB for scheduling meeting rooms and he did it in less than a shift. I do know that Apache will give you warnings about the default php needing to be upgraded or something, but my co-worker left the default, and all went well. Do you have a version of Apache that includes some form of php? If not, I believe all you need do is install php aside apache. --Greg > > Anyone using PHP and MySQL?

[newbie] auto_inst.cfg.pl generation problem
i have just searched the archives and found this link to the docs on how to do an auto install but when i try to run the suggested prog off my install cd (/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/g_auto_install) i get an error message saying that this prog cannot be run. i appear to have perl installed but there are also a lot of perl related rpms that are not installed, i was wondering if there was something specific that had to be on my system to get this prog to work, i have tried running it as root just in case as well. maybe the problem is something else, is any one familiar with this prog? bascule

In the past that is how it's been (occasionally--they change things around from time to time)... did you download a tarball from netscape?

Re: [newbie] Remote login (telnet and X)
Are you attempting to telnet in from a machine where you are logged in using an account with the same username/password, or a different one? I had/have lots of problems with remote logins using ssh on my MDK box, and I've taken security down to "low" through that DrakConf crap which I had to find and install manually. (sorry, I just don't like it) Apparently the rule set Mandrake creates somewhere, somehow, gets VERY fussy and limits who and how they can log in. I *have* set of ftpd (wu-ftpd, and anonftp) on the mMDK box, and cannot ftp in...Out, yes, but in, still no. It's a very quirky config. If you can, try creating an account with the same name/password on the remote machine and try getting in again. --Greg > ftp and telnet lines are both uncommented but connections are refused even > between the Linux computer and itself (including localhost). > > > >I would like to be able to telnet to my Linux box and/or use > > X from a remote > > >system.

Re: [newbie] Lost passwords
Just to let every one know the way to change the root password if you forget it (or for some other reason) is to at the the LILO (I use LILO becuase it is better, I think) prompt type linux 1 then run 'passwd' and change any of the passwords on the system. You realy don't want people doning this so in the file /etc/lilo.conf add the following lines restricted password=somepassword then because this file is world readable ,which means any unprivliged user can change it, at the command line type chown root.root /etc/conf chmod 600 /etc/lilo.conf Beware, once you use these precautions, if you forget you root password or you root password, you will have no option but to reinstall. Also I think it is a good idea to turn the bios password on and set the boot sequence to C, CDROM, A so that a floppy can not be used to boot your system.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Complie Prob
It sounds like you may have trun off/left off some dependent features
elsewhere in the configuration. I don't knwo what dependencies exist for
USB, I don't use it...But do a make clean and try over checking all
services... maybe turning off and on only limited services to test the
compile until you find the culprit (I know that take a long time--but it's
ll I've got)

Re: [newbie]
The Usb support in the 2.2 kernels is a bit here and there. It is only beta.
Where as the Usb support for the 2.4 kernels in a lot better even though those
kernels are considerd to be beta them selves. i think that it would be best to go
and download the latest 2.4 test kernel, which I think is 2.4.0-test6. How that
works. (it is about 20mb).

Re: [newbie] Red hat installation problem
Hey! wait till RedHat 7.0 is out in full release. The beta has a better implementation of gnome, also provides the option for XFree86 3.3.6 or 4.0.1, and has a huge amount of kernel tweaks to 2.2.16 that provide features found in the upcoming 2.4 kernel. The "sharper and prettier" problem was possibly due to the differences in XF86, and the versions gnome...remember RH6.2 was in development a while before MDK7.1 and just didn't include the same things. If all distributions included the same exact versions of every app and service provided, you'd problably see only minor differences between them. --Greg > Michael Khachiki wrote: > > > > I know mandrake 7.1 works...

Re: [newbie] deb vs rpm
rpm can install and updrage packages from an ftp stie just like deb. Try: rpm -Uvh ftp.redhat.com/pub/updates/6.2/RPMS/etc/packagename*.rpm as long as you have the directory tree correct it should take all the "packagename" rpms and update accordingly. Since I'm not "registered" with redhat, I don't have access to their auto-update. And, actually, RedHat has an unpdate utility.. you *do* have to register for it, to have the priveledge, otherwise you need to use the ftp site/mirrors and do things manually. I don't believe you can use deb effectively on any other system than Debian. --Greg > In one of > those I have a better distribution then yours discussion, i came across a > debian user wich explained to me that debian add a better packging system then > rpm. aka .deb > > let me copy what he add to say : > > > > With .deb and apt-get, you just have to specify the name of the site you want > to reach that as .debs (there are many wich have complete collection) and you > simply have to send the command with the name of the software you whant.

Well, all I can say is that thank god I am on the 'newbie' list. I went and checked and turns out apache wasent installed properly.

[newbie] Installing GNOME
ok - now I can change desktops, but I'm not sure where to start with the GNOME installation. I have 26 RPM's containing either parts of GNOME, or utilities related to or working with GNOME. Which one goes in first? Or does it matter? I figure at least a few will have dependency failures if they don't go in in the right order. -jdr-

[newbie]
Hi there,
I have Mandrake 7.1 and I was trying to recompile the kernel so that I could
use my 3com ethernet card. Whilst I was in the config panel (using make
xconfig) I also set on the USB drivers because I have a USB scanner, printer
and desktop camera.
However, when trying to compile with the USB support set to Y, I got
these errors and compiling stopped:
// snip

So I tried turning the USB support to M(odule) and although the
compiliation got further I still got a compiling error which stopped the
compiling. These errors are as shown:

Now I cannot recompile my kernel. Can anyone tell me what is happening
and what I can do to fix it? I want to keep USB support because of my
devices, but if I really can't have it then I'll live without, ya know?
Anyway, any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy

I'm waiting for the final version to come out. Mark

Re: [newbie] Partitioning questions
I had to use it. Windows 95 insists on booting from hda, which is the only drive big enough to put linux on. Linux needs the whole drive. I fixed it by putting windows on another hard drive, the other hda. Selecting between them is done with a switch in the power cable and a few relays. windows hda is only 500mi, so I also have hdc which is slightly damaged 2gi. The slight damage makes it useless for anything except as a fat32 frive, and it cant boot. The system has an added advantage, it prevents windows from overwriteing lilo. - Original Message - From: Greg Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 8:57 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Partitioning questions > Rudimentary my dearehm...

[newbie] How to change desktops?
I have KDE installed - if I install the GNOME RPM, how do I switch over to it? (Or if I wanted to, how would I switch from KDE to generic X?) -jdr-

[newbie] GRUB bootloader question
Okay, I have kind of a silly question. How do I add another OS to GRUB? I started with a dual-boot Windows98/Mandrake 7.1 setup, and GRUB worked just dandy. Still does, but I have since added a 2nd hard drive and two more OSes, one of which I boot from floppy, and the other of which I access by typing things in GRUB's command line. Is there a way to add these two permanently to the choices that pop up when GRUB loads? Thanks! -- Kathleen Dickason Registered Linux user #182139

[newbie] Free ISPs Compatible With Linux
Does anyone know of any free ISP's that offer versions of their software that are Linux compatible? I presently use Yahoo's Blue Light but the only version of their software that is available is for Windoze.
