Re: [newbie] LILO and Windows2000
The answer to your question is: Yes, just as long as you don't delete your DOS partitions. As a good rule of thumb, if you have a drive you want to dedicate to Linux, remove it from DOS using FDISK, so when you're in the install program to select your partitions, the big blank space will help you. Also, don't forget the "/boot" partition on the C drive, I only needed about 600MB for that partition. - Original Message - From: Nickolay Belostotsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 3:32 PM Subject: [newbie] LILO and Windows2000 Hello! My current hard drive configuration is: C: 4.5Gb, bootable, Windows98 SE D: 4.5Gb, Windows2000 I have a dual boot system, and therefore use a Windows2000 boot manager. I plan to shrink D: to 2.5Gb, and make a third and fourth partitions: Linux's / and swap. Obviously, the Install will install LILO as loader. My question is: After the install, will I be able to boot into both Windows2000 and Windows98? Thanks, -- Koly
[newbie] Network / Sound Installaion Issues
I'm pretty new to Linux, but not computers so please bear with me. I began an install of Mandrake-Linux 7.0 this weekend, and I will agree that DarkX is a very simplified install client. The only thing is that I had two issues (actually more, but I solved those last night around 2 am), they are as follows: 1) I can not find my network card in the list of network cards. Does anyone know if there is a Linux driver out there for a Netgear EA201 card, if not, does anyone know what driver will work with it. I tried picking a few in the install, and most failed, but settled with one that worked. Now, on boot-up, the card fails. 2) I have no sound. I do not even remember getting a prompt for my audio card. I know my sound card will work with Linux through an earlier install of PhatLinux (which I wound up trashing). It's an Ensoniq VIVO (I think) card. Any clues on where to set this up at? Thanks for all the help! Anthony
Re: [newbie] Problem with X configuration
Dan, I was having the same problem with my Matrox Card. It was listed in the device list, but would not work. I scrapped the v7.0 install (completely scraped) and reinstalled. After a 2nd try everything worked fine. Other than that, I have no ideas.

I'm using a S3 trio64V card on two different pentium 100 machines and all worked well with Mandrake 6.5 but with Mandrake 7 everything goes well untill the X server tries to start and then it tells me there is a problem with my settings. I have tried all the settings with no success. All went well on another Pentium 100 with the same card. All three machines have Award bios. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan
Re: [newbie] Post Server Installation Commands?
It sounds like you may need to log into the server from a client. I don't know much about Linux server systems, but from working with a few others out there, I've noticed that the server is pretty much unusable as a regular workstation. I could be wrong, so don't quote me, but I'd suggest to give it a whirl. - Original Message - From: F. E.
