RE: [newbie] PC-2-Phone
Wow. I didn't know that. Disappointing indeed. I'm pretty sure though that it would work with Win9x and likely Win2K and WinMe as well as NT though? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vic Sent: September 21, 2000 12:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] PC-2-Phone No, this hottelephone is useless to the linux community. I have tested it and it said that you have to use windows NT for it to work, I would suggest that all who think it is unfair to write and express to them that it is a good thing to support linux browsers.

RE: [newbie] Um...multi boot...NOT
I went into the Frak Config and clicked around a bit and didn't think I did anything but look around and then cancel... Next time I boot Grub comes up instead of LILO? They are both installed?? So confused I have the options now to boot to: linux failsafe windows floppy Problem is when I select windows and then get to the W2K loader, neither Win2K or W98 will boot. They both freeze up on the startup screens. What the? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andrew Scotchmer Sent: September 19, 2000 6:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Um...multi boot...NOT I'm in trouble. First of all, I thought 7.1 was supposed to use Grub, but when I boot I have Lilo not Grub. Also, at the boot: prompt when I hit Tab it shows: linux rescue WHERE IS WINDOWS Jim Did you install Lilo on the MBR or secondary boot header? In saying that how about entering Drak Config and placing the Windows option on the same partition as Lilo (hda 5 or where-ever) so that it would show when at the Lilo prompt. This should then enable you to boot Windows. Andrew
[newbie] problems installing ip_masq_H323
Ok. I'm trying to install this module from source. It is to allow netmeeting and other H323 programs to work through the firewall. It can be found at: http://www.coritel.it/projects/sofia/nat.html I downloaded the .c file and followed the directions on the page: *** HOW to build the module: - Put the file ip_masq_h323.c in the directory /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4 - Edit the file /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/Makefile - Modify the line to look like this: M_OBJS += ip_masq_ftp.o ip_masq_irc.o ip_masq_raudio.o ip_masq_quake.o ip_masq_h323.o - Be sure to have enabled the module support in the kernel - Issue make modules modules_install from /usr/src/linux - Now try to insmod ip_masq_h323 and look the log file /var/log/messages - I did this all up to the last line where I get an error: insmod: ip_masq_h323: no module by that name found. All I really want to do is compile it to a .o file and copy the file to my linux router box which is using kernel 2.2.16 I installed the updates to kernerl 2.2.16 prior to all of this as best I could. Where did I go wrong? What do I do now? Jim
RE: [newbie] Hard Drives
Lyndon, In windows if you have 7 GB partitions then they are FAT32 partitions. I don't think FAT32 is subject to cluster size issues the same way FAT16 was. i.e. I don't believe you need to worry about partitioning in windows or in linux. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have 3 HD's that will be on the Linux box 6gb, 7gb 30gb. In windows I normally partition the 30gb into 4 7gb partitions so I have smaller clusters and am not wasting space. Do I need to do this with the 30gb drive under Linux? Or can I just use one partition? Thanks Lyndon

[newbie] multiple dislpays
I would like to install 2 video cards in my MDK7.1 system. I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 AGP and an ATI Expert98 PCI. Bath are 8 MB cards. Anyone know if I can get this to work and will it be very difficult? I currently the system set up with an ATI Exert@Play AGP. How should I proceed? My plan was to swap the Expert@Play AGP for the FireGL AGP. Will I have troubles with the first boot?? After that, how would I go about adding the second card? Is there a how-two or something?? Thanks, Jim
RE: [newbie] Internet server
If that's all you want to do than my recommendation is to use a LRP disk instead. Try www.coyote-linux.com I got it installed fine on a 486/33 w/8MB. The latest release includes support for dial-up and PPPoE connections. Fully automated. Problem? Juts reboot and walk away. I'm uisng PPPoE, haven't tried the dial up.

I do this through KDE. My hope is to have this run as a stand alone. Boot up and connect to my ISP with firewall protection automatically, no monitor/mouse/keyboard for example when power goes out / or I shut it down. Now I have to pick a user, enter the password, and hit connect on kppp... I have the kppp in autostart. Can I do this with KDE? If not could you explain just a bit? I fear it is in console that I must go. Fear might be a bit rash...But its close.
[newbie] Where is my LAN?
How do I find my LAN? I have a LAN with an NT server, and a couple W98, Win2K clients. Where are they? Can I access the shared directories from Linux?? Jim
[newbie] Can't Install
I'm using Mandrake 7.1 which I downloaded and burned to CD. In the graphical configuration. It gets to the Setup Filesystems and I get an error: An error occurred An error has ocurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of the problem. I previously installed on the exact same system, but with a different HD. I'm now trying to do this on a 20 GB Fujitsu. The drive is fine. I just wiped NT off of it. My MB supports the full capacity of the drive as well. When I previuosly installed it was on a 2 GB hard drive. Is there a problem installing with a larger capacity drive??? The 20 GB has no partitions on it. I wiped them all with Dos6.22 Fdisk before I started. Jim
RE: [newbie] Can't Install
Actually I got it worked out. For some reason it would not work when I tried to use the boot floppy. Booting from CD worked fine.
