Floppy Drive--cannot access

2002-12-29 Thread Thomas A. Hulslander
Well, either I have violated some protocol here and am unaware of it or it's just that no one has any suggestions for me regarding the problems I am having accessing floppy drive. But I will try again because I think I may be zeroing in on the source of the problem... When booting, I notic

Mount points missing -- They're back

2002-12-28 Thread Thomas A. Hulslander
Sorry folks. The mount points are back in /mnt. It's got to be something I am doing with vi in /etc/fstab. When I go into it it says something about newer one being found. I guess I have to be careful about which one I use/edit. If there is a way to clean house here and get rid of the ones not be

CDROM CDRW Probs (my apologies)

2002-12-26 Thread Thomas A. Hulslander
Hello all I wanted to apologize for having made so many inquiries to you all regarding my CDROM CDRW problems. I think maybe I outstayed my welcome regarding this issue, as no one has replied for a time. I am able to access these drives with Gnome so I will get by until I stumble upon an answ

CDROM CDRW Problesm

2002-12-26 Thread Thomas A. Hulslander
t the end of the output that it's the "arch/i386/defconfig" file that's used as the initial .config file. so the "make xconfig" doesn't technically fail -- it just uses a non-optimal choice for .config. am i making any sense? why is this happening

OK. I found vi tutorial on line and found our that saving is done with ZZ. Who would have guessed. I think that I have successfully added the following to fstab: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 Now, however, when I t

Mike (et al) thank you. Some lights are starting to turn on. For example, I was thinking all wrong about the fstab--I realize now it is like a config file. (I needed that) Now I need to understand how to save changes to it using vi. I'm getting there (slowly) Thank you again. -- redhat-li

CDROM CDR and Floppy all messed up

2002-12-24 Thread Thomas A. Hulslander
I built this PC a week ago and installed Red Hat 8. All was well except for the floppy drive which I didn't care too much about to begin with. Yesterday I installed a CDR and the instructions said that it had to be in the Secondary channel with the CD-ROM as its slave. That's when I realized tha
