[newbie] booting / installing from 7-02 iso
Hello all!! I have built numerous linux boxes from slackware to mandrake and have yet to run into the following problem I am haveing with my recent go at burning the LM 7-02 iso and installing from it. I have a win95 box i want to dual boot I used fips and reduced my C drive down to 3g and freed up 3g to install LM onto I boot the cd and go through the initial phase (type of install (custome, serve,devel etc..)) and then it dies saying something along the lines that it can not find a free partition I boot of a floppy, run fdisk and lone and behold I am only using 50% of my drive allowing another os to use the other 50% what gives? why does LM 7-02 burnt iso not smart enough to see I have 3g available to install in? what do I need todo to get LM to wake up and smell the roses???

Re: [newbie] 3com NIC install and then xDSL setup
question: Why do you need to recompile / install the driver? undert /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net be a all the compiled NIC drivers in module format. just try insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/3c59x.o is that does not give you any errors then you can proceed to linuxconf/drakxconfig etc.. to configure your networking Ron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got USWaste DSL thru datawest. I would suggest getting a static IP. It's just a bit easier. As for gcc - you just need to install the gcc rpms from the mandrake disk. do an ls gcc* in the /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS dir and you should find them (with CD in of course). Ty C. Mixon F.T.C.

Re: [newbie] New Hard driveand Linux
why go through all that headach? why not just plop the cdrom in the drive, boot from it and do a clean install??? Eunice Thompson wrote: I'm planning to build a new system, and I'd like to have Linux ( in a separate system)by itself. I can make an image of the Linux partition with 'Drive Image" to put it on the new drive, but will it work? The reason why I ask is because my current setup is : dev/hda1:win98 (7.5GB); dev/hda2:fat32 free space(2.0 GB); dev/hda3: Mandrake-Linux 7.02 (3GB) So if I put the image of Linux on the new drive (maybe about 6GB) and it's in a box all by itself, when I boot up will it do flip flops or something because of the missing partions? Should I create 2 fat32 partitions on the drive and then stick the installation CD in and just do an upgrade and delete the 2 (empty) fat32 partitons and then use the entire hard drive for Linux? Or can I just delete the 2 partitions, and format the empty space as (ext2fs) free space for use later? Also how can you increase the size of a partition (for instance " /home") after the OS is already installed? Thanks for any insight.

Re: [newbie] Setting up cable modem in Calgary (Shaw@home)
Rynix, Take a look at the list archive, I spent a good deal of the past week - week 1/2 helping several LM 7 users get online with 43com cards and a cable modem. I posted the steps to test to see if you cards would load, see if dhcpcd is installed and even a brief step by step to use drakconfig/drakxconfig/linuxconf to setup eth0|1 to use dhcpcd from a cable modem provider. If you are unable to locate the messages via the archive send me a email and I will repost. Ron Rynix wrote: All right heres the deal. I'm new to linux (3 days old).

As the 'automagical' tools don't seem to work, you should try to configure your card 'by hand' : first, you have to load the apropriate driver of your card into the kernel. As I never worked with 3com cards, I couldn't tell you wich one you have to choose. But you will surely find some information in the documentations provided with your card or in /usr/src/linux/Documentations/. Once you know which driver you have to choose, you load it into the kernel by simply typing 'modprobe name_of_the_driver' Then, you have to configure its IP address and netmask. To do this, type : ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 to set the card's ip address to 1.2.3.4, and bring it up ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 to set the net mask Then, your card should work ok.

Re: [newbie] /home partition -- how?
Benjamin wrote: Dear friends: I will be reinstalling my Mandrake 6.1 from CD in a day or two. I would appreciate advice on how to make a /home partition. [Specs: AMD K6-2 400 Mhrtz, 128 megs of RAM] Currently, I have an all-Linux system consisting of two hard drives: hda (4.3 gig) for the Linux system and hdb for my storage needs (3.2 gig). Both drives are Linux native ext2 drives. Plus a swap drive of 128 meg. Obviously, I do not want to do anything with my hdb drive. So, the question is how to partition my main hda 4.3 drive? I have up until now been partitioning my hda using DiskDruid by simply letting the entire hda become my / directory (by selecting hda1, "1" and "growing" from the Disk Druid partition options (while hdb is my /bs directory). The problem, of course, is that each time I reinstalled Red Hat or, now Mandrake, I lost my /home/sher directory and everything in it. in diskdruid just limit the / partition to lets say 3g then create (add) a partition (linux native) that would be the rest of the disk and make its mount point /home currently my fstab looks like this: /dev/hda7 / /dev/hdb5 /ftp /dev/hda5 /home1 /dev/sdb1 /home /dev/hda8 /received /dev/hda6 /root /dev/sda5 /usr /dev/sda1 /var /dev/hda9 swap as you can clearly see I have put /usr, /var, /home and /root on there own partition. If I could separate my /home/sher from my regular Linux installation, would that allow me in the future to install, upgrade or reinstall Mandrake and keep my /home/sher directory separate and intact? If so, could someone suggest specifically how to go about doing it. I am sure it's simple, but I want to make sure I am doing the right thing. Should I have not two (hda1 and swap file) but three partitions on hda (hda1, /home and swap)? If so, how do I do the math here. Just what do I need to do? Yes, if you put /home on lets say /dev/hda5 when you upgrade/reinstall you wont lose that data (if you do not format it!) Thank you so much.

My computer is a dual boot setup with Windows 98 and Linux Mandrake 6.1. I have the Cox@home cable Internet service, and a SOHOware NDC 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card. The card includes the "tulip" driver for Linux on the install disk, but neither that version, nor any of the others I have found on the Net will compile. I have used many different command lines, including exact copies from the tulip source code. and from various Web pages and How-To's. The main error message I get is: tulip.c :101: warning : *warning You must compile this file with the correct options! tulip.c :102 : warning : *warning See the last lines of the source file. tulip.c :103 : warning : *warning You must compile this driver with "-O". Depending on what arguments I put on the command line, I will also get an error message from gcc saying that "-O is an unrecognized option." (!!) I'm not a complete newbie to Linux, but I don't know very much about the technical side. I finally learned how to set-up a PPP dial-up connection in Linux, but this Ethernet thing is driving me crazy. eth0 is not a "known device" to the kernel, so I assume I have to add tulip as a module, or recompile the kernel with it. I know that tulip is listed as a driver option in Linuxconf, but its not in /lib/modules, or anywhere else that I can find. During the Mandrake installation, it autodetected the network card, but it fails to initialize it on starting up the system - always the same message about the "unknown device." Can anybody help? By the way, I have tried -O option with both O (upper and lower case letter) and 0 (numeral zero). Thanks, Torrey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
