Because you need to tell the system what to use to execute the commands
contained in the file. Check /etc/rc.d/rc.local and
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and you'll find the same at the top of them.
Probably the same in the scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/.
here is a point Steve.. why not just add the
I have seen that there is two ICQ clients out for Linux.
One is Kicq for KDE
and another is for GNOME.
I like to use KDE as my Desktop.. but I notice that the KICQ project is
still Alpha and is not getting a lot of support.
The one for GNOME is STABLE and looks to be the better of the two
Try KLICQ. It's the one that I use.

Hey people.. I am running an AMD K6ii 350 with 64meg ram.

I am getting a 699 rating on this computer. Would memory be my best

If you go to the updates page of the Mandrake site it has a blurb on this bug.
Everyone should be updating their kernel to 2.2.9-27 anyway because of a
security bug... but this as well as the initscripts is what is needed to
fix the unmount bug..
I have that bug as well.. I have updated
Don't know if the kernel upgrade specifically address anything to do with
the unmounting bug (i have my doubts as all i updated were the init scripts
and then the problem went away), but it's certainly not true to say everyone
should upgrade the kernel because of the security bug.

I have a 520 meg harddrive on my NEC laptop..
I am going to run Slackware 4 on it.. because I can do a Floppy install
with it.
Can you do a FTP install of Mandrake??
Anyway.. how do you think I should partition my harddrive for a basic X

ok, so I want to install Mandrake on this computer. As it stands now I am
having a very hard time getting support from NEC because the machine is so
old. They did come out with a bios that would autoconfig a drive and also
could do LBA mode. But I have had no luck flashing this machine with it.
Does anyone know of any Known problems installing this modem on Linux?
I can get it to detect that there is a modem - but it cannot seem to
operate it. ttys2 is com3 correct? that is what the settings are in Windows

I would like to have several resolutions available to me in X. So when I do

Will, RE-INSTALL!!
First load win98 and go to the command prompt only
then type fdisk /mbr
That will clear the LILO out of your system ( Unless you really dont care
about your win98 or have it all backed up I would boot from a floppy.)
Then go through the process of re-installing. This will
