[newbie] wu-FTP and RedHat7.1
By default, it seems remote hosts aren't able to connect. I attempt to, but it just sits there, no messages or anything. I'm not sure what's causing this, any hints?
[newbie] Modular Laptop Stuff
I'm running a Dell Latitude CPi 400mhz laptop and I've got a few questions about inserting and removing PCMCIA cards, and different drives in the modular bay without restarting. When removing a PCMCIA network card or modem, do I need to just stop the interface? Or do I need to go a step further? And what about drives? Do I just need to unmount then remove?
[newbie] Path
I noticed that when logged in to a RedHat7.1 out of the box machine, when you enter commands like 'ftprestart' and 'shutdown', it doesn't seem to check your path all the way and usually returns "command not found". Is there a way to remedy this? I'm sure it's some weird security feature, but I really don't like it at all. Thanks.

Was wondering if there was any good walkthru's on setting up a DNS server for a LAN of abuot 10 computers
[newbie] Hard-Drive Problems after using Linux
I'm not sure if I just have really bad luck when it comes to harddrives, but it seems that every time I install any flavor of *nix on a drive that was formerly Winblows, I can't turn around and reinstall windows on the drive again without it not working or being awfully unstable. I'm not sure why this happens, it's a pity my 20gb drive no longer wants to work. I even went as far as to go back in the installer on Redhat, get in the fdisk, and create a new empty dos partition table, saved it, then rebooted, fdisk'd off a boot floppy, created a primary partition, rebooted, formatted it, then tried the installer. It didn't make it past the system checker thing at the beginning of the installer, gave some weird errors about the drive. Anyway, anyone else having this problem?
