[newbie] Can LM7 talk to a CISCO internal DSL modem?

2000-05-04 Thread Michael Gano

I've got a CISCO 605 internal router. The literature all talks about Windows
and NT. How do those devices work? How do I get in and see if Linux can
recognize it/communicate with it's OS?

 no burner, so I ftped mandrake et al from the FTP server to my personal

A full install need about 1.3G !!
All depends of your mount points.
What I did:  (had the same problem)
/   (about 600-800M)
/usr(big one  most of all, my case 3G)
/boot   (32M, enough to put more diff. kernels)
/usr/local  (about 600M, to preserve own data)
/home   (depends of the nbr of users)
On my 2° HD reside:
There is 1 prim. partition = /
and 1 extended = /usr, /usr/local, /home
On my 1° HD :
1 prim. for windoooz
1 prim. for /boot   (set it always as prim.)
1 swap about 256M

[newbie] Installing a lm7, win98, dsl, ethernetwork

2000-05-04 Thread Michael Gano

I've got an internal DSL modem in my win98 machine (won't work in the linux
box), a LM7 machine, and a hub/ethernet setup.

Can anyone give me an overview/general steps to connecting the two machines
and getting the linux box to see the Internet?

Thx,
Michael




[newbie] How to install LM7 w/out CD/burner??

2000-05-03 Thread Michael Gano

Don't have a burner...I'd like to just copy the mandrake directory to a
partition of the hardrive and install through DOS.

Is this possible? What are the overall steps?
I've gotten all the way to the packages menu (in drake) but it always gives
an error saying I don't have enough room regardless of how many packages I
choose.

Thx,
Michael
