In that directions assume I use YaST, which rarely can

HP Pavilion ze4427WM notebook PC, HP ZE4x00 series will it run Linux ?

Great, that is a good indication, hopefully the 4427 is the same base
hardware as the 4400, just a different variation.

I am waiting to hear back from HP also so I can ask them if the base
hardware is the same.

There are some going cheep for what they are so I thought it would make a
good Linux development machine.

Many thanks for the reply.

Cheers,

It works using NTLDR. But now how to boot from CD?

Thanks!

I tried the steps on my machine, it works! What I did after boot into
rescue mode was:

# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
# cd /mnt/floppy
# dd if=/dev/hda2 bs=512 count=1 of=linux_bs.bin
# cd /
# umount /dev/fd0

Copied the file linux_bs.bin into C: and boot from NTLDR, it works the
same.

I'm going to install FC and apply the steps to my friend's notebook,
probably over the weekend. Shouldn't be any problem, although his
floppy is USB, but he's got FAT32 partition, so it should be mountable
from Linux to copy the file across.

Thanks again for all the help.

Ethan J.

ps: Why use NTLDR and not Grub? We're trying out Fedora, leaving the
MBR untouched makes it easier to revert the system back to XP-only
original state. Just delete all Linux partitions. Of course, in my
other machine, I'm using RH9 with Grub -- it's a better boot loader,
yes.

Ok, I followed you as far as here. How do I add the module name? All I can
find is a box to type a module name into, but it only seems to accept one
module at a time, and I need two (one for SCSI and one for ReiserFS). Is
there a trick to this?

Thanks

Except when things don't work right, then APT sends you to dpkg in a
big hurry...
 

Yet once again, they are part of Debian's standard install. So they
obviously disagree with you.
 

I USE APT, friend. That works until something goes wrong. Which they do,
and with some regularity. That's why all those other manpages/utilities
are available. The folks at Debian.org know what they are doing.
 

Until something goes wrong.....

Why do you seem to think that these programs always work perfectly?

They don't.

And when they go wrong, it is a BITCH.

But if you compile from source, then it is relatively easy to track down
the problem, because you are dealing with an application directly, not
some package manager designed to be "user-friendly" that obscures all
of what's actually going on behind the scenes.

Like the GUI. I don't use them either. For the same reasons.

It is configurable for vsftpd.

Larry, a lot of folks are only running a *local* FTP server, and consider
the ease of browsiing the files and their modification or creation times
without doing conversions in their heads to be more important than
maintaining an international standard. I had users screaming at me when I
set up an external server for GMT display, although we were collaborating
with folks overseas.

Thanks for your reply.
I've started linux in runlevel 3 and everything works OK. It's only
when I try to start X it crash. Linux state that no "no devices
detected"

How to rerun Xconfiguration tool? I think it uses xf86config. Is it
only to edit the file or can you start some cind of configuration tool
in textmode?

Thanks for your replies!

Seems to be the downside about it.
 
 

AFAIR it was no one else then mjt himself who pointed out that
it can be fixed with just putting "not-dash-escaped" in
~/.gnupg/options.

However, one can header-sign posts, which does even look better,
if your newsreader supports that, mine (tin) does through an
external perl script, but it doesn't still work for me...

I kinda figured. Either that or he was using KDE. Whatever, it

Like I said, I think it's a link issue. In various configurations
and distros I've variously had to make links to get my mouse, modem,
floppy, cdrom, and/or sound card working. I always am running
extremely standard PC hardware, and I've tried all the big
distributions. No one ever seems to mention this essential detail of
making links! Drives me nuts. And, as far as I can tell, there is
no way to look at /dev and figure out which of those devices is
actually active, and which is just a stub sitting there in case its
needed. So you either need to know exactly what to do, or keep
trying stuff until it works. Very annoying.

Sorry, I guess that's my rant for the day. :) I agree with you, your
friend shouldn't have been forced to have trouble doing something so
basic. There appears to be some conflict between flexibility and
convenience, and so far Linux leans toward flexibility.

What do you see on your screen? Is the partition marked as bootable?
Does Linux boot from your boot floppy? Any reason you are using an
ancient version of Red Hat?

Looks good to me. But then I've been up for 36 hrs. ;)
 

If unsure of which number is their name server, call them and ask for the
quad addresses. They should have more than one.

Hope this helps.
