Is it safe to assume that the 80gb is the secondary drive? Also, did you have to load any software from the drive manufacturer in order to get the drive recognised by the computer (drive overlay); because if the drive is visible to BIOS, then the drive SHOULD be visible to linux; the drives are going to be labelled a tad bit differently than under a Windows environment - the primary drive is going to be /dev/hda - the secondary drive is going to be /dev/hdb (and so on) - partitions on the drives are going to be the same - first partition on the first drive is /dev/hda1 (and so on). If you're going to use the 80gb for linux, it's going to have to be partitioned and formatted during the installation (but I'm sure you already knew that); do you have access to any partition manager software that you can use to check the partitions as well?

Reputation sells more than biz cards or advertisements do. I've not really had to do much advertising at all since I moved to this country - mostly because the first few jobs I did no one else around town could do - so that started the ball rolling. Clients/customers that meet me on the street generally don't have much computer stuff to talk about - and never a whinge or a whine; that helps. As with another server I stuck in place last year, I didn't get much out of doing maint. on the box, but the business owners ranted and raved over their server to their mates - more biz came. I've been asked by some local companies that do computer tech support about either unix or linux stuff - because they don't have the skillset to deal with it - so it gets thrown at me. Two local ISP's have linux boxes that they really don't understand - so when upgrade time came, I was there to furnish hardware and skills. I sell alot of computers - workstations - based solely on prior customers spreading the word. In many ways, having something so dependable does put a dent in "repeat" work - in a Microsoft kinda way - but I don't mind having good karma and a good reputation and new business. It allows me the freedom of social movement around town as well - no one's got a "bad word" on me or bad feelings on me - so wherever I go, I get good feelings and great welcomes.

The company that sold it to us installed it on the network without a hitch, without a flaw - it appears to be working slightly faster than what they're used to; they want to experiment with another linux box as a server again in the next month. This company has, in the past, sold rather beefy boxes w/ Windows2000 AS, Exchange, SQL, IIS - so in seeing that this box literally acted the same, their eyes got opened a bit; and they're quite happy with the entire process - no hoops had to be jumped through on their end.

I just want to relate the happiness I have over the successful installation of yet another RedHat server for a small business customer of mine; They were in need of a low-cost, dependable server machine to be used as a file server and a printer server - a machine on which they could load a high-end architectural/accounting package; originally they were faced with spending upwards of $6000 (for a MS type box, of course); my total "drop in" cost for the box ended up being $2200 - loaded with RH9 + updates, Samba, MySQL, using SENDMAIL/FETCHMAIL/PROCMAIL + SpamAssassin, F-Prot and ClamAV - as well as being the gateway for an 802.11b 2.4ghz network in our area. Actual software load and configuration was one evening here at home - about 2 hours total; drop in on site with client machine configurations was one day. Done deal. No dramas, no sweat, no problems. Even had time to show the admin how to use VNC to access the server desktop; script was setup to backup to CDRW once per week. EZ as pie. Had this have been a Windows box I would have spent three days with it - for one thing or another - I'm used to that crap, and the monstrous size of the patches/updates/fixes. So, for anyone with any doubts, it's really easy - it's really simple. Plus, the customer was more than happy to know that they have IMAP/POP functionality, a proxy (privoxy) and a firewall - without license fees and BS associated. They even have a nice big round RH sticker on the front door now...(couldn't say "No" to the admin - was her idea). -- Wed Aug 20 16:35:01 EST 2003 16:35:01 up 2 days, 19:01, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.16, 0.05 - |____ | illawarra computer services| | /-oo /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |========| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * The Martian landed his saucer in Manhattan, and immediately upon emerging was approached by a panhandler.

Michael, the question, though - is would you literally fsk the entire world's OS community just to feed yourself or your family? Would you not be thinking of the future - and your reputation? I worked for a medical billing company in Sydney for a while, and due to how they were screwing their employees and their customers, I had to draw the line and give up the position (nice position, too) because I could not foresee a good reputation nor a good future in screwing people as badly as there were getting it. There are people who think they have enough money to forgo a conscious; I think that Bill Gates has always been a greedy stealing pig, and it's already been proven that Darl McBride has made HIS fortune(s) from doing exactly that as well. Besides, SCO and Microsoft are hand-in-hand in this whole thing - not a conspiracy theory, but a reality that doesn't get shown to the public. SCO's always been "buddy buddy" with the M$ crowd - especially with Billy Gates...THAT'S historical... This whole scenario boils down to Ballmer's desire to stop GNU/linux and OSS at "whatever cost, whatever means". I do my best to teach my children (and my wife) honesty in business and on a personal level. I might not make millions of dollars, but I'm happy, I wake up feeling NORMAL (or abnormal - whatever) and I know that when people see me on the street or around Sydney that they're not going to confront me with bad karma. Too bad businesses don't think that way more often. -- Thu Aug 14 10:05:00 EST 2003 10:05:00 up 10 days, 13:53, 1 user, load average: 1.33, 1.34, 1.55 - |____ |kuhn media australia| | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * On Earth, No-one Can Hear You Say "Um".

Initially, the rpm wouldn't install due to Imlib dependencies that couldn't necessarily be fulfilled, but I did the nasty and did a forced installation of the older version of Imlib and then Cheops-ng; it works. So, NOT THAT Y'ALL SHOULD DO IT - but it does work here (and maps out just like you'd expect it to) you'd need to install from a console and do it with the "rpm --ivh --force --nodeps nameofthefile.rpm" - I also made sure I ran /sbin/ldconfig just to be nice to the lib path cache...

Double check the init string you pass to the modem; sometimes by leaving things "as default" you're not getting what you're supposed to be getting with the modem.

If this machine is a server, why not use a web based tool for accessing it - such as Webmin? Easier all the way around, accessible from another computer on your network instead of sitting in front of the server...? Otherwise, you can edit the /etc/inittab file and set the default runlevel to 3 so that you boot to a console login - that way, if you REALLY need to start XWindows, you can just run the "startx" script. You'll save on overall resource by not having the GDM up and running. > Second, what's the easiest way to go back to booting to the CLI if > the GUI is already set to boot? See above.

You can't just say it's pictures of people naked. For example, you have these primitive African tribes that exist by chasing the wildebeest on foot, and they have to go around largely naked, because, as the old tribal saying goes: "N'wam k'honi soit qui mali," which means, "If you think you can catch a wildebeest in this climate and wear clothes at the same time, then I have some beach front property in the desert region of Northern Mali that you may be interested in." So it's not considered pornographic when National Geographic publishes color photographs of these people hunting the wildebeest naked, or pounding one rock onto another rock for some primitive reason naked, or whatever. But if National Geographic were to publish an article entitled "The Girls of the California Junior College System Hunt the Wildebeest Naked," some people would call it pornography. But others would not. And still others, such as the Spectacularly Rev. Jerry Falwell, would get upset about seeing the wildebeest naked. -- Dave Barry, "Pornography" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

(or PCMCIA?) If you're using DHCP to gain an IP address, that could be one of the possible problems - the stall would be your workstation waiting to get a new IP address via the DHCP server; by having static IP addresses, this issue doesn't occur... But meanwhile, if you can paste the output of "dmesg" that would help to determine the true issue and resolution would then be a tad bit easier!
