[newbie] More hardisk space

2001-05-30 Thread Phil Curtis

Hello all,

I used to use Novell Netware and I could used to be able to merge two disk
volumes (disk partions±) together, to create a large volume (i.e. 10gb on
HD1 + 20Gb on HD2) could give me a 30Gb volume.

Is it possible to do the same with Linux? What I mean I create a directory
called /work and then I mount two 40gb discs in this partition to give me
80Gb of space in the /work directory, or something similar.

Also, how can I turn a directory / file stucture into an ISO image.

Also, is it possible to mount to ISO images in the same directory. For
example I create the directory /Mandrake and the I mount the two ISO images
for LM8 in the SAME directory?

Thanks All.

[newbie] Webmin

2001-05-23 Thread Phil Curtis

I have just installed LM8 and webmin, but I can't connect to the server
http://localhost:1

Does anyone have any ideas ?

BTW. I do have Webmin up and running on SuSE 7, but I am new to Mandrake and
don't know the ins and outs yet.

Phil.
