[newbie] lilo v21.5
I've now discovered that my lilo problem is probably down to the fact that I have an olde version of lilo. Can some one point me in the right direction of how to obtain lilo v.21.5, and also where I might find out the process by which I upgrade lilo.
RE: [newbie] lilo config problems
Hi Sean Change the default setting to "windows" minus the quotes of course giving you a line that reads: default =windows That what i have been attempting to do using the emacs editor, but every time I run /sbin/lilo to get lilo to accept the edited changes I get the cylinder error message I spoke of. as for the cylinder error. I had a similar error when I disabled lba during installation. I take it windows on your system has something like the 1st 8gig of the HD? If so, look for where you are asked about lba suuport during installation. I can't recall exactly where it was now, but I suspect that may solve the prob. Windows ME actually takes up the first 4 gb of my HD and Mandrake the remaining 4GB, am I going to have to reinstall again?

RE: [newbie] configuring LILO.
Klilo keeps telling me my Hd is too big for it to reconfigure the boot sequence, and although I've edited lilo.conf I still can't get my machine to boot into the win partition by default, lilo seems to be ignoring the edit I've done. Have I missed something? Here's the first bit of lilo.conf: boot = /dev/hda map = /boot/map timeout = 50 prompt message = /boot/message default = linux That last line should read whatever you've name your Windows partition in /etc/fstab. If you've done that, it's still not working, try editing the file again, but this time, as root, run: # /sbin/lilo That, instead of using klilo, should do it. .. and so I thought too. Unfortunatly I'm getting the same error message that I got from lilo about the HDD being too big. Any other ideas?

then terminating on a signal 9 using the harddisk install method thats with
a floppy, using autoboot I get to where it is loading ramdisk then ramdisk
fails and then the computer hangs. Oh you can put in a choice too such as

Subject: [newbie] GET READY FOR A DISCUSSION
Hi, folks!
What follows is probably a single most important letter I ever posted on
these mailing lists, so please read it very carefully!
[ANNOUNCEMENT]
We (Mandrakesoft) are starting internal discussions about future of
our distributions NOW. We want you to take part in the process of
improving our next distro.
- NOW is a time to ask us whatever you want: tell us what you like, tell
us what you hate, tell us what you dream of!
- NOW is a time for you to influence the future company decisions - start
thinking, and if you come up with a briliant idea, post it here.
Starting NOW, I am going to stop sleeping, eating, or doing any other job
which would interfere with currently most important task: Making sure we
make the best decisions based on whatever input we can get.
[RULES]
* Basically everything you can think of is open for discussion, except
question of including non-free software in the core of our distro, which
is absolute NO-NO.
* Listen to what other people have to say. Try keeping the signal/noise
ratio as high as possible.
* One topic per e-mail and informative subject line help us a lot. ("125
Great ideas!!!" is a very bad subject line.)
* Please, try to avoid any kind of flaming on the list for the next 10
days.
* Finaly, If you have time and skills to pick up ideas from long
discussion threads and write a good summary, please do it, it will help us
a lot.
[TOPICS]
Topics we are particularly interested in at this moment include:
1) ergonomics: What should our user interfaces look like in the
future, what should we improve in our desktop configuration, which things
need polishing...
2) install:Which features of our current installation
program (DrakX) do you like, which features are you missing, what is not
clear enough? The same question goes for post-install configuration
tools.
3) packages: which packages to add, what to remove from the distro,
which subset of packages is really nessesary for a minimal install,
and which packages are "just add-ons"?
4) tools: which new tools (packages) should we develop ourselves, or
improve in case we are already developing them? Many great
programs already exist out there, so we really badly need to know
which important linux tools you still miss, in order to
concentrate on them in the future.
5) system policy: We want to make our system "logical" by following the
Linux Standards, and being consistent in the way
"things" (services, settings) are implemented. Tell us where
we need to improve.
6) security policy: Closely related to point "6". You know that we care a
lot about security, don't you? Well, the problem is choosing right
security settings for various situations.
(If you feel that we have forgotten an important topic, just start a
discusion on it, the list should not be taken too strictly)
I am going to spend a lot of time in reading "newbie" and "expert" mailing
lists during next two weeks. Guillaume will do the same on the
"cooker" list, and other members of the company may pop-up and take
part in discussion too, for topics they may be particularly interested in
(and if they get time to do it, our schedule is bursting).
At the end of the discussion cycle (in two weeks), I will try to write a
resume of what has been decided and share it with you.
yours
Denis Havlik

[newbie] Question about install Mandrake
When i first installed Mandrake 7 it was wonderful. I had a few problems but worked around them. DrakeX recognized my master drive with out a hitch. Something happened to linux when i was on my machine for two months that i really enjoyed. It somehow fell below the 1024 mark and i couldnt boot up any more, neither the rescue or boot disks worked. So i had to reformat in dos and reclaim my harddrive. When to install again, downloaded the files and went to do an install. DrakX only recognizes my small slave drive now not the 13 gig master. I dont understand what changed from first install to this one. Cant install from Cd rom it linux doesnt like mine for some reason its one of those old ones that connect to a sound card.

I have a bit of a problem with ppp. Using Lnx4Win, the version the
doesn't require a partition, I can dial my isp, but it never connects
and always gives me a message the operation is taking more then 15
seconds. I used netconfig to set up the connection. I triple checked the
obvious things such as the DNS, my username and pword, made sure I
didn't typo the phone number, etc. Anybody have any suggestions or know
any possible reasons for my being able to dial but not actually connect?
Or is it possible that this version just runs so slowly it times out?
I have had friends tell me that I need a chatscript, but the manual
didn't say anything about a chatscript. It just mentioned netconfig and
kppp. So do I need one ore not?
Now comes my really dumb question...where's kppp? I looked in the K
menu but couldn't find it

Re: [newbie] Now I've done it -- broken X?
reinstall your previous version of X i heard somewhere that x114 really isnt stable kenny - Original Message - From: "Alan Schussman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2000 1:31 PM Subject: [newbie] Now I've done it -- broken X? Hi- Why I thought this was a good idea to tinker with the week before finals I'll never know. I tried upgrading XFree86 4.0 so I could use the newly-released Nvidia drivers, but I must have missed a step or misconfigured something, because now X won't run at all. When I initially tried the upgrade (using RPMs) a couple of nights ago, I was able to run startx and get Xwindows running, no problem -- but without the accellerated drivers. I couldn't get them to install properly, nor could I get the previous nvidia drivers to work (they at least had a modicum of accelleration in them), once I had made the upgrades. xf86config wouldn't make a workable XF86Config file, but Xconfigurator could (which strikes me as very odd). Yesterday, however, when I booted up, I wasn't able to load X at all. I'm getting the error: execve failed on /etc/X11/X (errno 2). /etc/X11/X is linked to XF86_SVGA, a file which seems to be nowhere to be found -- and despite re-installing XFree86-SVGA, is still missing. I can also no longer run Xconfigurator; it dies after probing for my video card. Am I missing something serious (like bolts in my head for even trying this) or do you think this might be a config problem? (Or both -- certainly possible.) Any ideas how I can at least get X up and running again?
