Yes. You don't need very much ram to compile. I was compiling linux on

But yes, you can compile it on another machine! I would.

Thanks for all your help. I finally came to the same conclusion that it
is a winmodem. Unfortunately, the people at most computer stores know
nothing about Linux and so didn't tell me that it was a winmodem.
Thanks again for all your help.

Ah see, works like a charm, even if I was wondering after getting
the parts, that it's a 64bit PCI card, but works in a 32 bit
slot. If you are working with x86 hw long enough, you can mostly
tell from a view on the card, if it looks like quality, 3ware
does.;)

OK, they are not the cheapest,

Now someone suggested soft-raid, another good idea, even if a
little more work, if a hd needs to be replaced. But unless hds
are hot-plug-able, you need to take the system down anyway.

linux newbie question about dual boot

Not on /root, I think the first time I installed it on my /boot partitioin
(by the installation default). But it didn't work. The second time I put it
on MBR and it didn't work either.

I also checked hardware compatibility, my model is not on the list. But
checking item by item, I found that most parts should be fine.

Getting rid of Lilo.

Problem solved. turns out LILO resides in the bootsect and when I
copied the bootsect of /hda2 to /hda1 that was before lilo was
updated. So I stripped lilo.conf down to just the Linux partition and
made the wait time 30 instead of the default 300.

Here is the rest of the drill:
1. Make /hda2 the boot partition via cfdisk.
2. Run lilo
3. "dd if=/dev/hda2 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1"
4. Copy the file bootsect.lnx to the /hda1 partition, either directly
(fat partition) or indirectly via floppy (ntfs partition.)
5. boot Linux via floppy and make /hda1 the boot partition via cfdisk.
6. Edit the file on /hda1 boot.ini to include a line for Linux. I
edited mine directly from Linux via Vim, but if ntfs is in play one
has to boot Windows,
"attrib -r boot.ini", edit the file and "attrib +r boot.ini"

Here is my Windows boot.ini:
================================================== =======
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows 2000
NTFS" /fastdetect
================================================== ========
I have two Windows partitions (one fat, one ntfs) and I made the fat
one on hda1 the default. (I may experiment with making Linux the
default.)
I put the Linux boot line second on the list.

I still get an error message if I try to boot windows 2k via lilo.
Hence the above lashup.

#1: You should be able to get a plain text screen by hitting "Ctrl-Alt-F1".
This will let you bring the machine down into single user mode by logging in
as root or using "sudo" or "su" to run "telinit 1.

#2. Use the X configuration tool, which is "redhat-config-xfree86" in RedHat
9. Set it the way you like.

#3: Try it out by typing "startx". If it doesn't work well, you can get back
to the text window by hitting "Ctrl-Alt-F1" again.

#4: You may have to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file by hand to get it just
the way you like with oddball monitors and video cards, and you may have to
do the RedHat updates for your system to get the latest versions of drivers.
I suggest using "autorpm" at www.autorpm.org to update RedHat 9 systems.

#5: Reboot and make sure everything works correctly when you're satisfied.

Thanks for the tips. That's waht I'm looking for as a newbie. I'm not really

How can find out machines's runlevel After linux box booted?

Not at all, the question is, why don't you reply to the OP, but
instead to the correct answer, while snipping away anything?
 

Let's see, I'll try getting the runlevel from 'chkconfig', like
you said it would do the job:

chkconfig --list lm_sensors
lm_sensors 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

chkconfig lm_sensors ; echo $?
0

Well, I know now it's running, so the box should be in runlevel
2,3 or even 5, but I can't tell for sure and someone might have
started lm_sensors in another runlevel manual, so it doesn't tell
me anything about the actual runlevel.

On the other hand:

runlevel
3 5

Tells me I'm in runlevel 5, exactly the info asked.

BTW
Please stop top-posting!

basic help needed

Posted: 05 Aug 2004 02:09 PM PDT

Thanks for clearing that up. I started with Redhat 4.0 and set up a number
of company intranets using Linux. Then it was back into the Windows world. I
never could convince the company to use Linux for anything else. Hence I
have little day-to-day experience on Linux and a lot of anitquated,
confused, knowledge. I am currently running Redhat 9.0 and would appreciate
any and all polite corrections when I wander from the truth.

To paraphrase Mark Twain;
It's not the things I don't know that bother me.
It's the things I know for sure that are just plain wrong.

I guess it just works as it should. The clicking sound is the drive
parking its head. If the drive has already entered in sleep mode while the
laptop is powered on, then it has already made its head-park click sound
and spinned down, so you don't hear a click or spin-down sound at
power-off. Otherwise, you hear them, which is only normal.
