Nel mio caso specifico, con 2 hd, sul primo in cui è installato xp con file system ntfs non mi permette di intervenire, sul secondo hd (in cui c'è linux, lo swap ed una mini-partizione fat32 per lo scambio) invece mi permette di intervenire. Scusatemi, quindi, perchè sono stato troppo precipitoso.

Attualmente non conosco strumenti linux per fare la stessa cosa. L'unico modo, secondo le mie (limitate) attuali conoscenze è, probabilmente, pianificare il tutto in anticipo rispetto all'installazione dei vari o.s. sulla macchina. Quindi predisporre a priori, se si ha un solo hd, due partizioni (anche fat 32) e installare sulla prima il 2000 o xp e passare, quindi, alla ripartizione e installazione di linux sulla seconda.

E' possibile compilare il chernel su una macchina diversa da quella su cui verrà installato? Ha senso o è una stupidata? è il solo modo per cambiare kernel su macchine lente.. a meno di avere tanta pazienza inoltre, su tanti server non si installano nemmeno gcc e modutils per evitare che possano essere usate per compilare codice non voluto Vi spiego i motivi dei miei dubbi: ho trovato dei vecchi 486, pentium75 e pentium100 e visto che gia di loro sono piuttosto lenti ho pensato che compilare un kernel ottimizzato per ogni classe di processore potesse aumentarne le prestazioni. i kernel che trovi in giro sono in genere compilati per 386 sui 486 ottieni un vantaggio misero su pentium poco di più solo che le applicazioni che installerai, sono comunque per 386... a meno di ricompilare davvero tutto... il kernel lo ricompili per averlo aggiornato non ti conviene installare una distribuzione recentissima su quelle macchine, il kernel invece si Ma visto che la compilazione è già lunga sul mio pentium II 350MHz immagino con quei processori... Quindi ho pensato di sfruttare un computer più potente di un amico (athlon xp 1800). E' possibile? Se si come devo fare? compila il kernel nella versione che vuoi, quindi copialo in rete o via floppy, sulla macchina che lo userà idem per i moduli, dovrai copiare la dir /lib/modules/versione sempre via rete o dischetti quindi chiaramente aggiornare lilo (non serve dirti che nella macchina che compilerà dovrai avere versioni di librerie compatibili con le macchine che ospiteranno i kernel) [okkio alla versione di kernel che compilerai, non sovrascrivere i vecchi moduli! quindi fai un backup degli originali, o gioca con extraversion nel makefile, dando in questo modo un nome diverso al kernel e ai moduli] Inoltre per processori cosi datati conviene usare un kernel recente (tipo 2.4.x) ottimizzato oppure un kernel vecchio (2.2.x)? 2.4 sicuramente Grazie, Pollo. bye miKe - -- Slackware 8.1 GNU/Linux 2.4.20 @ hp Xe3 R.U.#219755 -- S.R.U.#705 -- R.M.#110932 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+E3TpF/9fksDJ4y0RAgScAJ4jJkvZsBueM0fTulGvyeZrMvQ2vACeO6B7 gR2PKCkCLbTBokF6KfXoII4= =oCta -END PGP SIGNATURE-

When I set it up in 8.1, I connected the camera and turned it on as if I were going to transfer files. I then ran MCC and in the hardware/mount points section, it recognized the camera there as well. I just clicked it and gave it a mount point. After that, I could mount it without any problem. I don't know if that will work in 9.0. The important thing would be to see which device it is, probably /dev/sdb1. The line in my fstab is: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/fuji vfat user 0 0 I type mount /mnt/fuji, and I can copy all the files from there.

You need module usb-storage loaded, I added it to /etc/modules, and a mount point created, mine is /mnt/camera. also a line similar to above in /etc/fstab then just plug in, type mount /dev/sda1 and there it is. Going over all the posts on this subject, I came back to this one. What exactly did you add to /etc/modules? I still haven't got the camera assigned a sdx device node, so I guess I don't stand much of a chance. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

No - the old machine that was going to be my standby windows/linux machine appears to have died on me, and I'm looking for the lowest cost to get a working system again. It would hardly be worth it if I didn't have this apparently intractable problem of being unable to mount my new camera. I could buy a card reader, but neither my attempts with one, nor those of many other people, have been successful. And the new camera is xD memory, adding one further layer of problem. I had windows on this system, but can no longer boot to it. I can read the partition from 9.0, but lilo can't boot it. I don't know whether having win4lin on the same system has any bearing on this. All in all, I really do want some way to access my camera without having to go begging to my grandson for the use of his computer. Anne ...hmmmunderstandable BTW, not being able to boot to Windows via lilo - strange - has something changed the /etc/lilo.conf ? If I could solve this I could ditch the old one and save a packet. I think lilo.conf may have got screwed up when I was trying to solve the 8.2/9.0 stanzas. Some strange lines got added - no idea where they came from - but I've tried booting with them in, and with them hashed out. It seems to make no difference. But since they appear to contradict each other, they are probably irrelevant? When I try to boot to windows via lilo, it gets to Loading windowsOriginal, then hangs. This is the stanza for windowsOriginal (win98 on a vfat partition, first of 5 partitions on that drive). other=/dev/hde1 label=windowsOriginal table=/dev/hde map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 The map lines were originally split with 'to 0x8x' on a second line, but rightly or wrongly I though that may be my fault through having word wrap on at one time. However, it doesn't make any difference to the result, whichever way they are, or whether they're hashed or not. I can read the partition fine from linux, under the fstab line /dev/hde1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,user,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 so the partition is not hosed. OR, have you tried booting to it with a Win98 (or whatever) CD? Could be that the FAT boot record is hosed up - or even that there's a slight problem with the lilo.conf... FAT boot record - could be. Would that mean fdisk /mbr, then Mdk install disk to re-write lilo? From a windows boot disk I can get the re-install option, which I suppose may work, subject to the re-writing ot lilo, or get to a dos prompt, but of course that has only loaded a virtual file system ready for install or diagnostics. There's no way to boot into windows from there, that I can see. I have tried a fd created as a win98 recovery floppy, and a cd created as an install disc. Results are the same. I hope you can see a likely cause of my problem. If I could mount my camera on windows on this machine I would be (relatively) happy, at least until the usb support is improved on linux.

[newbie] screensaver(?) kills network
OK got a question, hoping someone's got a fix. I finally talked the better half into giving ME the nice computer (main) for mandrake linux (had to upgrade the other one and load windows on it) and have the 2nd computer on windows. Our home network runs through the main box via crossover cable and IP masqerading to connect to the internet on our cable modem (ATT) I'm giving 9.0 One more try with new hardware in here that seems to be working better but I've removed the apmd packages, xscreensaver packages, but still after a certain amount of time the screen goes black. When it does, it kills the network. We're using a simple firewall script with iptables for the IP masqerading. Every time the main computer's (screensaver?) kicks in, ya have to get up from the 2nd box, go to the main box, hit the spacebar, open a terminal, login in as root, and re-run the rc.firewall script. I've tried and tried to STOP the screensaver from kicking in but i'm at my wits end. Can anyone give some suggestions? I'd rather just turn the monitor off when i'm away from it, not have any kind of software trying to run some kind of power management. Thanks in advance! :-) Jerry.

[newbie] Konqueror fonts
First, my wishes for a very Happy New Year to you and yours! On to my question: I've been running Konqueror under LM 9.0 for several weeks. I've been pleased with its performance, so I haven't done much tweaking. However, I had noticed some minor problems with the appearance of some fonts on some sites, so I turned on anti-aliasing hoping that might help. I didn't see any improvement, so I then installed my Windows fonts. That turned out to be a Very Bad Move (TM). In particular, bold face serif fonts looked as if they were made with Legos. I then turned off anti-aliasing, but that didn't seem to make any improvement. So, where did I go wrong here? How do I fix it? -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

As such it's possible that you might (ie, auditable) have some hardware problems with java under Linux. Closed source can't possibly be supported, hardware or software. I use Mandrake's Sun java version since I suspect they've done all they can to make sure it doesn't cause conflicts or security holes... even without the source. Plus it's a user error free install. Since you now 'show no plugins for Java or Javascript under either', I believe I'd undo/uninstall your efforts to date, then just install the Mandrake/Sun java rpm. It really does do everything for you, which avoids user bumps in the road.

[newbie] VMWare issues AND 8.2 and 9.0 install issues
I have a win2k machine that triple-boots (win2k, win98 and Linux 9.0). Since most of my work so far has been devoted to getting all my work done in win2k (I know, let's not go there), I have been quite happy with the booting arrangement. I know want to be able to call the Windows OSs on demand, and stay in Linux primarily (in part because my backend database is Oracle and I don't have all my ducks in a row to migrate the data, and also because I'm a glutton for punishment). The question is, has anyone had any luck in getting VMware to work on the 9.0 platfor, and been able to configure the raw diskspace right? I can't seem to get the bloody thing to work; shouldn't be surprised, using VMware on a new OS and ask for it to handle a preexisting NTFS diskspace right. I'm also having issues problems installing either 9.0 or 8.2 on an older system (AMD k6 200, DFI motherboard), I get (mainly): an err=1, invalid compression format (IIRC) with 9.0. And with 8.2 the installer actually gets started but I get an error recognizing the disk partitions (IBM DTTA 351010) at the time of creating the partitions. I've just low level formatted the drive, formated it agains with fdisk and installed dos 6.22 (imagine that). Ah, fresh news even as I type, now I get a different error installing 8.2... Error in Exec of stage 2 FATAL ERROR IN STAGE1: not a directory. Starting to question the CDROM drive... Help and ideas most welcome! A.

But I seldom get my way ; Still think it's a better way for 'peace on earth', open source that is. At least it'd be auditable and better free from 'welcome to crackers' and soft/hard conflicts as it is now. As such it's possible that you might (ie, auditable) have some hardware problems with java under Linux. Closed source can't possibly be supported, hardware or software. I use Mandrake's Sun java version since I suspect they've done all they can to make sure it doesn't cause conflicts or security holes... even without the source. Plus it's a user error free install. Since you now 'show no plugins for Java or Javascript under either', I believe I'd undo/uninstall your efforts to date, then just install the Mandrake/Sun java rpm. It really does do everything for you, which avoids user bumps in the road. 'rpm -Uvh' should reveal any needed deps, but you might also do it with 'urpmi j2re-1.4.1_01-5mdk' -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
hi dennis, your description doesn't match your diagram, your diagram has the cable modem attached to eth1 of your firewall and the switch to eth0 of your firewall, which is exactly what i have, plugging the cable modem straight into your switch won't work unless it's actually not a switch but a router that can take dhcp assignments, (i'm assumimg that you use dhcp, if you have a static this still applies since whatever the cable modem plugs into must be set up correctly), all my cables into my switch are patch cables and not crossover, i have to admit that i've never looked at the cable that came with the modem so whether that's crossover or not i don't know but using the one that came with the modem means it doesn't matter! - though if someone could enlighten me without my having to take the network down (and get down on hands and knees behind my desk!) so perhaps you could clarify your setup, also when you say that your computers work fine i assume you mean with each other but not with the internet? otherwise there's something i'm missing here! bascule On Wednesday 01 Jan 2003 11:11 pm, Dennis Myers wrote: Below is the way I think my network should be wired.

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
Dennis; Your setup is almost correct. First of all, is your firewall/router a PC or an appliance? Either way, I suggest you modify your set up as follows; 1) Cablemodem to switch - eth0 (using DHCP-client) - Your ISP will probably want to assign an IP address for you. Use the Cat5 cable they provided for this connection - cable is probably 5 or 6 feet long and it came with the cablemodem. 2) Assuming you have the ability to re-configure your firewall/router, change the IP address related to eth1 to 192.168.0.1, and make sure that all PC's use this IP as their Gateway IP. Connect a straight-through Cat5 cable from eth1 to the switch's input or to a standard input on the switch if it doesn't have a port labelled Uplink. Please note that some switches will have 2 ports connected together by a small line (graphic line, not an electronic line). This usually means that you can use one port or the other BUT NOT BOTH. One will usually be labelled UpLink and the other will be a standard port. 3) Connect all other PC's to the switch making sure that none of them use 192.168.0.1 as their IP address - it's already been used by your firewall/router, and can be seen by the other computers. Again, I stress,...Make sure that you set all other machines to use 192.168.0.1 as their Gateway IP, and make sure that NONE of them use 192.168.0.1 as their own IP. 4) Make sure that your firewall/router allows for I.C.S. (Internet Connection Sharing), or N.A.T. (Network Address Translation). While you're at it, make sure that you set your DNS IP adresses on each computer for the DNS servers of your ISP. If you're running a PC as your firewall/router, check the configuration so that it allows for I.C.S. or N.A.T., and restart it. Check your Firewall/Router for an Internet connection, and if that works, you know that all other machines should now be connected. If they can't connect, it's because the firewall/router is not allowing them to, and you'll need to either read your owner's manual, or send back aonther email with a detailed breakdown of how the Firewall/Router PC is configured. More info regarding the Firewall/Router would be an asset, here. Is it an appliance? If so, what brand and model. Is it a PC? If so, which firewall product and O/S is running on it? Hope this helps!

Never use Partition Magic and then allow DiskDrake to change any partiton sizing, do any formatting, etc. If you use Part Magic, do everything with it, including assigning the /, swap and /home. Then just point DiskDrake at the pre-made partitions during the install. /snip Why is that? I've used PM for years with my Linux installs, and all I do is resize the FAT32/NTFS partition(s), and then create the *nix partitions with the DiskDrake, cfdisk, et al. Never had a problem with it. The *onl* PM problems I've ever encountered was when I was running XP, and ran the program from inside XP, and it rebooted to do the actual resizing.. but if I use the rescue disks to do the resizing, I never have a problem. -- Chuck Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Either way, I suggest you modify your set up as follows; 1) Cablemodem to switch - eth0 (using DHCP-client) - Your ISP will probably want to assign an IP address for you. Use the Cat5 cable they provided for this connection - cable is probably 5 or 6 feet long and it came with the cablemodem. 2) Assuming you have the ability to re-configure your firewall/router, change the IP address related to eth1 to 192.168.0.1, and make sure that all PC's use this IP as their Gateway IP. Connect a straight-through Cat5 cable from eth1 to the switch's input or to a standard input on the switch if it doesn't have a port labelled Uplink. Please note that some switches will have 2 ports connected together by a small line (graphic line, not an electronic line). This usually means that you can use one port or the other BUT NOT BOTH. One will usually be labelled UpLink and the other will be a standard port. 3) Connect all other PC's to the switch making sure that none of them use 192.168.0.1 as their IP address - it's already been used by your firewall/router, and can be seen by the other computers. Again, I stress,...Make sure that you set all other machines to use 192.168.0.1 as their Gateway IP, and make sure that NONE of them use 192.168.0.1 as their own IP. 4) Make sure that your firewall/router allows for I.C.S. (Internet Connection Sharing), or N.A.T. (Network Address Translation). While you're at it, make sure that you set your DNS IP adresses on each computer for the DNS servers of your ISP. If you're running a PC as your firewall/router, check the configuration so that it allows for I.C.S. or N.A.T., and restart it. Check your Firewall/Router for an Internet connection, and if that works, you know that all other machines should now be connected. If they can't connect, it's because the firewall/router is not allowing them to, and you'll need to either read your owner's manual, or send back aonther email with a detailed breakdown of how the Firewall/Router PC is configured.

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
Dennis; Start by Losing MNF. Dump it completely. It's way too complex a firewall solution for your network. Do a fresh install of Smoothwall, and apply all the updates, then configure Smoothwall for your requirements following the suggestions I sent in my last email. For your requirments, you can also look at running Mandrake 8.0 and installing Firestarter, Shorewall, Bastille, etc, and run your web-site directly on the firewall system using Apache. Add a larger chunk of Ram, and a decent sized hard drive (10 to 40 Gigs), and you could also run Samba (Windows File Sharing), and ProFTPD (FTP Server) on it without too much hassle. Your life will be much simpler, and you'll have a lot more Free time for important things like BEER or Women! MNF is based on Mandrake 8.2, and customized to work as a firewall/router PLUS a Front-End Server for larger networks, and is therefore overly complex for a home network. It also requires a fair amount of maintenance on a regular basis. Kinda like using Thor's hammer to fix your watch! By the sound of your reply, you have more than one Firewall package running on this box. You should consider losing the others, and reverting to an older Mandrake version, or give E-Smith a try. Here's the link; http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/e-smith/ It comes with a web-server, email server, DNS, etc included. EZ to install too. Who needs a DMZ when the one box can do it all? A friend of mine has been running E-Smith for about 2 years on a P233MMX with 20 web-sites, 3 FTP servers, 6 email servers with NO downtime. Comes with a web-based interface as well. Might be worth looking at for your system, but MNF is way too heavy for your setup. Just my 2 cents. Lanman Short on info, sorry.

Re: [newbie] LAN/firewall setup
Dennis; How does your cable modem connect to your switch? Doesn't it have a connection for a standard network cable? Or does it use a USB connector? You should have received a gray/silver cable with 2 network connectors on it (obviously there would be one at each end!). If not, it's probably a USB connector cable. See if you can send me the brand and model of your cable modem. I'll see what I can do to help. What I meant by #1 is that you should be connecting your cable modem to the firewall/router! My Bad! The cable modem should have a normal network port on it, or it should have a special cable to connect from the cable modem to your firewall/router PC, either using a standard network port or a USB port on the firewall/router box. In other words, cable modem to firewall/router, firewall/router to switch, switch to PC's in your network. That's the way your wiring should be connected. I apologize for the confusion.
