[newbie] changing boot devices
Well, I think that is a good one... I have a LM8 install in a machine with 2 ide drives (/dev/hda and /dev/hdb) and a ide cd-rom writer (/dev/hdc).with dual boot for win98 and linux They work like this now: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdb is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and slave at IDE interface 1 (linux) /dev/hdc is the cd-rom and master at IDE interface 2 Why I want to change this, if all works fine ? Well, since /dev/hda is a UDMA 100 HD and /dev/hdb is a UDMA 33 HD the interface IDE1 works only at UDMA 33 performance... so to squeeze a little more performance from my system I want to do this: /dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98) /dev/hdc is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and master at IDE interface 2 (linux) /dev/hdd is the cd-rom and slave at IDE interface 2 I've tried to change the cables but I had no succes... linux wouldn't boot, failing with that message: == begin error message = VFS Can not open root device "341" or 03:41 Please append a correct "root" boot option end error message = I tried then use a floppy drive for booting and passing the parameter "linux= boot /dev/hdc" and I've had the same error message again. So I returned the old configuration and I'm looking for some help now... I think that the main consideration is: how the links that I use in X and in the command line will work after this? A link is a reference to a file or to a device and a file??? How I change references about /dev/cdrom? CD players and burners and file system will fail to find it... what files/configs I have to change? I'm using Reiser FS, by the way.

Re: [newbie] problem with mysql
To Kuang: the users in MySQL aren´t the same users that log in you Linux box. you have to create these users in MySQL and define what databases these users can view, modify, create... thats why only root has access when you start MySQL without creating users. You can create users in the MySQL console or, if you have Webmin installed, in the Webmin MySQL option. orlando Ilya Sterin wrote: > > How about changing the execute permissions.

Re: [newbie] The good, the bad & the ugly
In linux there is the "md5sum" command, so the "md5sum filename" generates the md5 checksum from "filename". There is an implementation of that command for MSDOS/Win9x. If you can´t find it, I can send you the file, I don´t have the link where I found it... By the way... the checksum of an iso image takes a few minutes... time for a break :-) orlando Adam Henson wrote: > > Hmm..
