Re: [newbie] running windows in linux
rich - hi i have one way modem service as well. i dial in using the phone an old ISA modem. the downstream signal comes through the cable and the cable modem. i have it running absolutely fine in linux. remember, anything windows can do, linux can do even better. it just may be a little harder to implement. if you would like some help getting one way cable to work, let me know and i will try to help. - dave From: "Jason R.

I need this because I have one of the only cable modems in the dang country that you have to force to dial (it sends through phone, receives through cable). It works fine if I boot to windows and force it to dial, then restart in linux while it is still connected. If I could open windows while in linux I could make it dial that way. Can someone help me? I also downloaded and installed mozilla 15 today... Is there any way to start it without typing the command in the console? It keeps the console open that way...

Without it Intel systems don't run since it loads the initial boot up program from the MBR. Win/DOS also has a software "BIOS" as well, one of a pair of hidden system files that DOS (and OS/2, Win9* and NT 3*) requires. The NT versions used to be the MS OS/2 versions. I don't know whether that has changed or not. Disclaimer: i was pretty much joking about the BIOS thing. I actually really like my BIOS (ambios). A friend of mine has a really cruddy BIOS, but the computer is a machine is a Hewlett Packard, so it is a cruddy system in general. I suppose a person would have to buy a whole new motherboard to get a different kind of BIOS. Can a person upgrade using the same motherboard, but maybe a different version or something?

Re: [newbie] Problems with the RAM
dont forget after modifying the lilo.conf file, you must execute /sbin/lilo as root to make the changes effective. hope that helps...
