...Backup Laws

2002-08-28 Thread Ismael Touama

Hi everyone,

I saw Ashley K.M send a topic on backups.
I wish you give some links where I can learn
to make backups. This including different case
so I can restore in the best and quick way lost
data, configuration or partition...
I'd like to know what partition to backup, what
kind of restore it gives, what to do when made
an integral backup and these incrementals ones
when just a partition had been erased...
What to do i.e when installed and configured
MySQL day d,  and then after installing and configured
severals stuff on my system until incremental backup
on day d+9, and crash my MySQL server...
All of thing like this that make me prevent huge cases
of losing face when something wrong happen.

Thank you for all good doc (is there nothing on it
on sourceforgee ?)...

olé,
ism

  Any ideas. I have enabled Ip-forward and masquerade.

 if u are running local DNS server on you Linux machine u can
 point all your client machines to look up your linux box for DNS 
 queries

 check for entry u have got in LMHOSTS file on windows machine
 what does it show ?

FYI, LMHOSTS is for windows workgroup browsing - it has nothing to do
with DNS - perhaps you mean HOSTS.

But this problem is most likely caused by a lack of DNS server entries
in the network configuration of the windows boxen.

writing DVDs

2002-08-28 Thread Pranay Kumar
Title: Message



Hi 
all,

This is my first 
attempt at backing data on DVDs. Currently I have a program that backs up some 
data on a external firewire HDD. I dont format HDD but I use it in raw mode. 
When I get a HDD all I do is create a primary partition. So all my code does 
is:

1) open the device 
(/dev/sd?1)
2) make simple write 
and lseek calls

Now I plan to use 
DVDs for the same purpose (R only). Can I simply write raw data to a DVD and 
read it back as I do now. If not what else will be involved here? I have a 
feeling it might not be as simple as it is with the HDD.

Any help is 
appreciated

-Pranay

Well, i don't have any experience with burning DVD's (i didn't manage to get a DVD 
burner yet), but from what i've heard burnign DVD's is like burning CD's . cdrecord 
and mkisofs do a great job.
Give it a try.

can you ping IP outside IPs form your Windoze
machines?  Try manually adding the DNS of your ISP on
your Windoze Machines.

 in the network configuration of the windows boxen.

That's exactly right methinks.

This person (although trying hard) is running before he walks so to speak.
He's not understanding any concepts before diving in and asking the
questions.

Please don't flame me for giving him the following advice.

Knut,

For now, just put the ISP's DNS server address in the Windows Boxes.
This will get you going fast.

Ed.

Re: Partition table lost the Linux partitions - How to recover?

2002-08-28 Thread Willem Brown

Hello,

Peter Kiem wrote:
 Stupid me used MSDOS fdisk to delete a partition and it rewrote the
 partition table without the Linux ones.
 
 Is there some tool that can scan the harddrive and find the partitions?  The
 data should be still there, just need to recreate the partition table.
 

I did something like this a couple of years ago. I had no idea of what 
the size
of the partitions was but I knew the parition names and the filesystems that
were mounted on each one.

Lets say your parition layout looked something like the following:

/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /var  type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /usr  type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on / type ext3 (rw)

/dev/hda4 is a Windows extended parition which fills the rest of the disk.
/dev/hda6 is the swap parition.

# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2434 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device BootStart   EndBlocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   * 1 3 24066   83  Linux
/dev/hda2 4  1278  10241437+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3  1279  2338   8514450   83  Linux
/dev/hda4  2339  2434771120f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5  2339  2370257008+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6  2371  2402257008+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda7  2403  2434257008+  83  Linux


What I did was to create the hda1 so that it was larger than the actual
file system on the disk. Then use dumpe2fs to find the actual size in
blocks for the file system.

# dumpe2fs /dev/hda1 | egrep '^Block count'
Block count:  24066

Run fdisk and delete /dev/hda1 and recreate it using the correct block count
and fsck it to make sure it is still fine.

NOTE: Do not allow fsck to make any changes to the file system. You might
inadvertently destroy the file system (or the next one) if the parition was
created with the wrong size and fsck decides to 'fix' it.

# e2fsck -n -f /dev/hda1
.^^
This opens the file system in read-only mode and assumes no to all 
questions.

If hda1 happends to be the root partition that contains the /etc/fstab
file you can mount it read-only and have a look at what the partition
layout should be.

Next, start with hda2 followed by hda3. Create a parition of the appropriate
type larger than the actual file system. Get the size of the file system 
using
dumpe2fs. Delete the partition and re-create it using the correct block 
count.

Upto this point all the partitions were primary partitions. The next step is
to create the extended partition on /dev/hda4 which spans the whole 
drive. The
rest of the partitions are all logical (created within the extended 
partition).

Create a logical partition, /dev/hda5, larger than the underlying file 
system
and use dumpe2fs to determine the file system size. Delete the hda5 
partition
and re-create it using the correct block count.

For the swap parition, /dev/hda7, I create the paritions by specifying the
sizes using a format like 256M, 128M or 64M etc. I just re-create it using
the same size with the correct type.

If you're not sure of the size and you have already recovered the parition
that contains the /var file system, /dev/hda2 in this case. Mount /dev/hda2
read-only and look for the swap size in /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages.

# egrep 'Adding Swap' dmesg
Adding Swap: 257000k swap-space (priority -1)

On this machine I used '256M' in fdisk when I specified the size of the swap
parition.

All that remains is hda7, and since its the last parition on the disk it is
simply recreated using all available space. Use dumpe2fs to make sure that
you have the correct size. If the block count reported by dumpe2fs is 
different,
delete the parition and recreate it with the correct size.

If the swap parition was created with the wrong size
dumpe2fs will probably fail and you'll have to delete both the swap and 
current
partition and try again with different sizes.

This worked for me it might not work for you. I'm doing this from memory so
it probably contains a lot of inaccuracies and since your setup will more
than likely be different this only gives you some idea on how you can 
recover
the partitions.

You'l probably need a good recovery floppy or cd-rom with the correct tools
on them.

A search for 'recover parition' on freshmeat.net returned some usefull links
as well.

Willem Brown

 Stupid me used MSDOS fdisk to delete a partition and it rewrote the
 partition table without the Linux ones.

 Is there some tool that can scan the harddrive and find the partitions?
The
 data should be still there, just need to recreate the partition table.

Hi everyone,

I saw Ashley K.M send a topic on backups.
I wish you give some links where I can learn
to make backups. This including different case
so I can restore in the best and quick way lost
data, configuration or partition...
I'd like to know what partition to backup, what
kind of restore it gives, what to do when made
an integral backup and these incrementals ones
when just a partition had been erased...
What to do i.e when installed and configured
MySQL day d,  and then after installing and configured
severals stuff on my system until incremental backup
on day d+9, and crash my MySQL server...
All of thing like this that make me prevent huge cases
of losing face when something wrong happen.

Thank you for all good doc (is there nothing on it
on sourceforgee ?)...

olé,
ism

It is possible - I do it daily. The reboot is an option that
you may need to take on some (elderly) hardware or
esoteric disk controllers.

Re: Newbie: NTFS support / Redhat mailing list

2002-08-28 Thread ramakrishna

hi,

* Geoffrey Lane ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:
 How do I add NTFS support to redhat 7.3?  

 As  the  redhat 7.3 stock  kernel does not include ntfs filesystem
 support. we can recompile our existing kernel to support NTFS files
 system.
 prerequisites for compiling and building a kernel:
   we have to have the kernel source to match the new kernel
shell rpm -qa | grep kernel
  kernel-2.4.18-10
  kernel-source-2.4.18-10
 
steps:
 * Install the latest kernel-source rpm
* cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10/  
* make mrproper
* cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-{$your_arch}.config   .config
* make menuconfig
   ... select enable ntfs support from filesystem menu... (as modules)
* make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install  
* cp  -a  /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10/arch/i386/boot/bzImage  \
 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-10custom
* cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10/vmlinux  /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-10custom
* cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10/.config  /boot/config-2.4.18-10custom
* cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10/System.map  /boot/System.map-2.4.18-10custom
* /sbin/new-kernel-pkg  --mkinitrd  --depmod  --install 2.4.18-10custom
 * create kernel entry in the grub menu (bootloader) inaddition to your 
   default kernel. 
   ex:   
   edit /etc/grub.conf file and include the following lines

   title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-10custom)
   root (hd0,1)
   kernel  /vmlinuz-2.4.18-10custom ro root=/dev/hda1 
   initrd /initrd-2.4.18-10custom.img


* boot into the custom kernel. and do a modprobe for ntfs 
   * modprobe ntfs 
 
   * lsmod   (will show u the ntfs listing) 
  
* now u can mount the ntfs file using mount command as 
ex: mount -t ntfs /dev/{windows_partition}  /mnt/win2k

RE: Photo-quality printer and software?

2002-08-28 Thread Chris Mason

You can run an Espon 1270 on Linux using Gimp Print filters for quality
output, and gthumbs is an image management program. If you use KDE,
Konquerer allows you to  preview all the images in a folder, and create
web galleries of the folders.

It will work, but windows programs do this better. We do a lot of this
work and can't see leaving windows just yet. It's hard to stop using a
program like ThumbsPlus for image management.
What I would really like is a server based image management program with
windows clients so all users can see the thumbnails, notes, virtual
galleries. Anyone know of such a beast for Linux?

Though I have no experience with them, I recall seeing that the Epson

Or if you have HP's drivers for their printers many of them may also
work well.

Check out the URL above for much more (and more accurate) information.

 Is there any software for Linux corresponding to the various Windows

probably I'm not familiar with them, though.

Hi all,

Taking a closer look to the output of free and top on a Compaq 
Proliant 3000 (oldie), noted that the kernel is reporting just about 
16MB instead of the 256MB recognized by the BIOS at POST.

My first action was to make some changes in lilo.conf (and running lilo, 
of course). I 'd placed the well known append=mem=256M in different 
lines of lilo.conf with no luck.

As a desperate measure typed linux mem=256M at the boot: prompt with 
no avail: free always report 16MB :-(

RedHat 7.1, original kernel version.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Regards




This worked:

append=mem=240M@16M

Why? I have no clue! but several articles denoting things such as 
append=mem=256M@1M were inspirational :-)))

 
I have not tested with other RH versions but, AFAIK it's an issue with 
some Compaq oldies. BIOS version is E16 (1999)

Apple talk?

2002-08-28 Thread Blake Thornton

I've been struggling to find a solution to this for a while.  I posted 
last week and got some suggestions, but nothing is exactly what I am 
looking for yet.

I would like to talk from my Redhat Linux box to a mac server using Apple 
talk (maybe its called apple speak?).  I have absolutely no control over 
the Mac server, so installing NFS or Samba or ftp there is not an option.  
Someone suggested using netatalk, but that isn't quite right because that 
allows my linux box to act as an apple server, but doesn't seem to allow 
my linux bos to act as an apple client (someone please correct me if I'm 
wrong).

Any other suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
Blake

non-interactive FTP to transfer file

2002-08-28 Thread Reuben D. Budiardja

Hi,
I am trying to use FTP to backup my files to another machine. I want this to 
be automated via cron, so I need a 'non-interactive' way. What can I use to 
do this, and how? 
I've looked through the man page for ftp and ncftp, but have not found the 
non-interactive way, so that I can just put in one command to copy files.

Thanks for any help.

IP MASQ + iproute mess

2002-08-28 Thread juaid

Hi..

 First I'd like to point out that I'm having a semi-problem of routing and
masquerading...

 The routing and masquerading I want to do, is working fine with what I have
done,
 but it's giving some problem with traceroutes, making them not work
correctly or as expected... so I believe something is not working as it
should..

 so here goes the detail of the situation and what I have done, sorry for
the long mail

 I've been running a network with IP Masquerading for about an year now
without any problem.
All routing is been made by iproute2, source routing, etc, and masquerading
via ipchains since I'm using Kernel 2.2.19pre17

Until some days ago, the network consisted of a Linux box behind the router
that conects to the Internet, and my LAN on the other side of the Linux box.
The Router has an E1 connection separated into 2 channels, one that goes
directly to Internet, and the other to UyNet (UruguayNet), which is the main
backbone and network across my country (Uruguay). So if I want to access any
site on the Internet like google.com, it goes through one channel, and if I
want to access a site in Uruguay it goes through the other one..

I got several different networks in my LAN which I have always masqued with
ipchains with no problem..

some days ago, we added a second connection which has only one channel that
accesses both, Internet and UyNet
You can see how it looks like in http://juanin.com/net.jpg

 The connection through Router 1 is the new connection with one channel,
and the one through Router 2 is the connection we have always used with
the 2 separated channels..

What I want to do is to route traffic from certain of my LANs to Internet
through Router 1 and traffic from other of the LANs to Internet through
Router 2. BUT, all traffic to UyNet must be routed through the UyNet
Channel in Router 2.

by default I masquerade my the LANs like this:

 ipchains -I forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ -i eth0

what I did for testing purposes is to leave everything as it is, but route
my own machine (192.168.1.137) to Internet through Router 1 and to UyNet
through Router2, by use of iproute2 source routing:

 ip ro add default gw [Router 1 IP address] table xx
ip ro add [all Uynet networks] via [Router 2 IP address] table xx
ip ru add from [eth2 IP address] lookup xx
ip ru add from 192.168.1.137 lookup xx

 I also added the following in order to masq my machine through eth2 and go
to Internet through Router 1

 ipchains -I forward -s 192.168.1.137 -j MASQ -i eth2

 all of this works fine, and I go routed as I want...

 BUT the problem I got is that traceroutes now don't work as expected...

If I traceroute an Internet address (for example google or yahoo) I see the
first step to 192.168.1.1 (my default gw, eth1), all the next hops through
the Uruguayan network appear as packet loss without being able to be
resolved
until it goes out to the Internet where it continues in a normal way...

 if I traceroute an address from the UyNet network, some hops are resolved
ok, and some are unresolved too...

 here are 2 examples:

to do this you have to import one host identity to another to the ssh's

this can be a security risk, be sure to know what you are doing, and how to
block access in order to let it be done only from the hosts you want..

but there are many other backup tools
in freshmeat you'll probably find many of them..

iptables and Passive ftp

2002-08-28 Thread Matthew Boeckman

I'm having a dickens of a time setting up proper, secure IPTABLES rules 
to allow passive ftp connections to my ftp server. This box has no MASQ 
going on (not behind a firewall). I've got the ftp server setup 
correctly, and active transfers work fine, and passive transfers work if 
I remove all my iptables rules.

My relevant iptables information:
lsmod
Module  Size  Used byNot tainted
ip_conntrack_ftp5216   0  (unused)
ipt_state   1536   3  (autoclean)

iptable_filter  2752   1  (autoclean)
ip_tables  14656   3  [ipt_state ipt_multiport iptable_filter]

iptables setup script :
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 21 -m state --state 
NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 20 -m state --state

...
DROP   tcp  --  anywhere anywhere   tcp

Most of the online help I can find is from the client side of IPTABLES, 
haven't found a good server howto yet. Any help or suggestions are 
appreciated!

Then in your script put:

  some time ago I used a program called ftpbackup or something like that...
  I think I had found it at freshmeat.net..
 
  now I'm making backups via scp, by making it not ask for passwd from 
 certain
  hosts
  to do this you have to import one host identity to another to the ssh's
  authorized_keys file
 
  this can be a security risk, be sure to know what you are doing, and how to
  block access in order to let it be done only from the hosts you want..
 
  but there are many other backup tools
  in freshmeat you'll probably find many of them..

Vaio help

2002-08-28 Thread Scott

I have a new Sony Vaio GRX560 that I tried to install RH 7.3 on, but ran 
into too
many problems (shh, so I put the factory restore XP home on it).

The biggest problem is the Sony Memory Stick slot, since I have a Sony 
digital camera
I would like to be able to use that :)  I was unable to get it working 
after a couple of weeks
of playing around.  I do not see it in usbview or even doing a cdrecord 
--scanbus does not
show me the device.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Scott

How about ncftpget, a seperate program.  I use it to back up my web directories
nightly via cron.  You can set up a login file or just do a script with the 
command line
options.


man ncftpget.

mozilla, netscape and CUPS

2002-08-28 Thread pd3

Hello

I installed RH 7.3 on someone's computer. I had some
trouble getting his canon S450 working but eventually
got it working after we changed the cable from USB to
a normal parallel port cable. However it only seemed
to work with CUPS - we tried the RH printer config tool
but had no joy with it.

He uses KDE and our problem is that we can't to print
using mozilla or netscape. I wonder if anyone has any
idea how one would get them to work with CUPS.

I'm using Postfix as MTA (www.postfix.org), which I've found being much more
faster, secure and configurable than sendmail, it never falls down..

for virus scanning I'm using amavisd (www.amavis.org) as content filter with
Mc Affee's uvscan antivirus for Linux
Amavisd supports lots of antivirus programs, check on their webpage..
it can also be used with sendmail, exim and maybe others, check the page
too..

if not, on Postfix's page in the section Add-on Software  there are
others...
Panda Antivirus has also a mail virus scanner for Postfix which you can
download from their page..

Yes, this looks very wrong, so you may have been rooted.

I'd run pstree -u and see if there are any strange new processes
operating.  The top command might work, and obviously the /proc file
system will give you all the process information, but you may not get a
straight answer from ps since some rootkits replace it with a broken
version that shows you only the normal processes.

Also, look at your inetd/xinetd configuration and /etc/services to see
if anything has been changed.  Running netstat will give you some of
that information.

Are your log files intact (no files or lines obviously missing)?

Were you running tripwire, and, if so, are the databases backed up?

There is a rootkit sniffer that will search for known malicious code on
a filesystem; I forget the name but it is documented on
www.insecure.org.

At some point, when you've seen and documented what you wanted to see
about the state of the running system, by all means SHUT IT DOWN unless
it is somehow mission critical to let it run.

I was rooted twice last fall, on both a company server and my home
system (using the same vulnerability in ssh-1.x.something, so I felt
really stupid).  Since then I've learned that a) security compromises
are no fun and b) protecting against them is very serious business.

I'd like to provide more support, but for confidentiality reasons it
might be better to take it off-line until you have cleared this up.
Then perhaps you can post a summary to the list.  Go ahead and e-mail
me directly -- from a system that isn't compromised...  :)

Truly,

  Jonathan

My guess is that the additional /usr/passwd executable was placed by the 
exploit.  The search path will probably look first in /bin, and then 
/usr/bin.  The bogas executable is found first.  The original 
/usr/bin/passwd is probably non altered.  So rpm -Va won't indicate 
anything for this file, although there are likely other things that have 
been changed which will show up.

As part of your clean up, first remove the bogas file.  Unless you feel 
lucky, back up data files, and then reformat the hard drive and do a 
fresh install.  You should also try to find out how the cracker got in. 
 Likely you were not keeping patches up to date.

Good luck.

Hello List... I'm trying this again as I'm pretty desperate.
Booting my rh 7.0 machine hangs at INIT:. Running a repair install, I can access the disks, mount partitions and see the files sysinit and rc which appear intact (with root execute attributes). I have a backup of the machine (made with taper). I feel everything is within reach but fail to understand why INIT cannot execute the files. I've searched the web on this but haven't found any definite leads on how to proceed. I'd hate to scratch the machine when it seems the data is accessible... can anyone help? The booting sequence is as follows, and just loops on the cannot execute lines:
INIT: version 2.78 booting
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/init.sysinit"
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc"
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

RPM unsatisfied dependecies

2002-08-28 Thread Andrew Pasquale

I am having a problem installing packages with RPM.   A dependency 
(/sbin/install-info) exists in the filesystem, but is reported as being an 
unsatisfied dependency.  It is my impression that dependency checking occurs 
within the RPM database, so I'm guessing that somehow /sbin/install-info 
doesn't exist in the RPM database.  I have run rpm --rebuilddb, but still 
get the same error.  Has anyone had an experience like this, or have any 
thoughts about why this could happen?

MORE DETAILS:

I am trying to install the updated glibc packages listed in
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-166.html

Specifically, for RH7.1 i386, they are
#ls
glibc-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm
glibc-2.2.4-29.i686.rpm glibc-profile-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm  nscd-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm

When I try to install the packages I get the following dependency error:
# rpm -Fvh *.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
/sbin/install-info   is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.4-29

However, it appears that /sbin/install-info exists:
# /sbin/install-info --version
install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.0
...

Checking to see if other applications require /sbin/install-info yielded a 
long list of packages:
#  rpm -q --whatrequires /sbin/install-info
and verifying these packages reveals other unsatisfied dependencies.  
For example:
# rpm -V  gcc-2.96-81
Unsatisfied dependencies for gcc-2.96-81: /sbin/install-info  

That's as far as I've got.  Any help would be welcomed!

Try booting into single usermode.

Depending on the boot loader, you will need to alter the command line 
with the word single.  If using lilo you should be able to do:

  a primary partition. So all my code does is:

 Well, i don't have any experience with burning DVD's (i didn't manage to get a DVD 
burner yet), but from what i've heard burnign DVD's is like burning CD's . cdrecord 
and mkisofs do a great job.
 Give it a try.

cdrecord won't work.  There is a cloned version of cdrecord, called
dvdrecord, that works properly for dvd R/RW drives.

kmail can't download local mailbox

2002-08-28 Thread Reuben D. Budiardja


Hello,
My kmail suddenly cannot download my mail from local mailbox 
(/var/spool/mail/username). I used to work before, just today it suddently 
stop working.

I thought it has something to do with the lock mechanism. I use FCNTL. I tried 
to play around and snoop around, but still can't get it to work. 
Does anyone have this problem before? Anyone can help, or point me to the 
right place to find answer or kmail user support (can't find that one too) ? 

Thanks in advance.

Re: RPM unsatisfied dependecies

2002-08-28 Thread juaid

From: Andrew Pasquale [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I am having a problem installing packages with RPM.   A dependency
 (/sbin/install-info) exists in the filesystem, but is reported as being an
 unsatisfied dependency.  It is my impression that dependency checking
occurs
 within the RPM database, so I'm guessing that somehow /sbin/install-info
 doesn't exist in the RPM database.  I have run rpm --rebuilddb, but
still
 get the same error.  Has anyone had an experience like this, or have any
 thoughts about why this could happen?

tried using up2date?
it resolves all dependencies automatically..

according to what you describe, I don't think it will work in this case, but
trying will not harm!!!

good luck!!!

Now edit the /etc/inittab file. Change 5 with 3 at the line that says:

typing init 6 will reset the box and from now on it will just load

Reinstall package 'info' alone thus:

If there are dependencies when you go to do so, please

LILO - Boot other os's

2002-08-28 Thread Dave

Greetings,

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a linux box in our programmers area.  This is really going to be a
test machine for them to test programms on diferent window's os's.  It is
setup with 4 primary partions.  Linux 7.3 (2.4.18) is on the first /dev/hda1
and I created 3 fat16 dos partions on /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3, /dev/hda4.   I
would like with LILO to choose which partion will boot. Below is my
lilo.conf file.

Lilo loads fine but the problem I'm having is it boots fine to the linux
partion and to the first windows partion /dev/hda2 but I can't get it to
boot to the other 2 dos partions.  Everytime I select them (window3 and
windows4) it boots up /dev/hda2.  So any windows 3 choices I have boots me
to the first dos partion.  I have looked around and tried to read a tweek
the lilo.conf as much as I can but cannot get the other 2 dos partions to
boot.

Any help is very much aprreciated.

Thanks

I think that mcopy in the mtools rpm works similarly.

You can also mount DOS filesystems under Linux, and use the normal

I have been working for a couple days on configuring a USB modem and trying to set up 
a PPP connection.  I have successful connected via the serial port, but the USB is 
what I need!

The kernel supports ACM and the USB modem is installed.  When we try to open a PPP 
connection between the USB and the modem (pppd) we get an invalid argument on ttyACM0. 
 The logical links have been established betweem ttyACM0 and /dev/modem.  The mknode

The activate command does not work and the connection does not occur.
