are those files there for the eXPensive install

yes
 

in the MBR, and the other stages in /boot
 

preferably, say, grub

No, you don't! Not unless your tarball has been untarred as root and has
restrictive permissions on it.

Pasquale, did you by any chance untar this thing on a Winidows machine and
copy it over to Linux using a text-file transfer mode, such as FTP in
certain configurations, and maybe wind up with messed up end-of-line
characters? I've seen behavior like this when people try to use the same
source files in both Windows and Linux and get the EOL messed up.

I tried using FC1 and FC2 before, but FC2 has poor detection on some
hardware configuration such as sound, that why I'm switching to other
distros.

Problem with booting RH8

Linux is more critical of h/w problems than winders
is.
* do a memory check.
* open the box and ensure all cables are tightly seated.
* boot from a Live CD (say, Knoppix) and fsck the
partitions.
* it could be those particular [config] files [the startup
sequence is complaining about] are hosed up. maybe try
'boot installed system' from CD#1

It is a sad commentary on today's society that this fortune has to be
classified as "offensive" simply because it contains the word "fuck".

yes - you have it.
 
i am pretty sure you can get the modern mv command to do what you need,
but in the old
days it did not move everything across filesystems and did not handle
symlinks and permissions
correctly.

user cannot read ntfs partition

Posted: 14 Oct 2004 11:53 PM PDT

Alberto

The NTFS drivers were originally not written to have write access on
NTFS partitions. In general it is not a good idea to have write access
to NTFS partitions due to the nature that windows index the files.

You can read this FAQ on Linux NTFS
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#3.2
and also if realy need to write here a work around

keyboard not detecting, or something

No. don't remove it, just don't let it run during boot. If you add or remove
hardware, run it manually.
 

1. Boot the machine.
2. At the Grub menu, press "e".
3. Scroll down to the boot line, press "e" again.
4. Go to the end of the boot line, add a space and a "1".
5. Press escape, then "b".

I hope I got that right. I haven't done it in a while.

USB Keyboard doesn't work under Mandrake 10.1

Hmm, I had almost exactly the same problem with my USB keyboard in FC2,
except that I could get it to work with the stock 2.6.5 kernel and not
at all with the stock 2.6.8 kernel. Turning off kudzu didn't seem to
make a difference for me, either. What *did* seem to make a difference
was getting the 2.6.8 sourcecode and compiling my own kernel, which
really isn't difficult. I was going to compile my own kernel anyway,
since I wanted ntfs filesystem support and the stock kernels don't seem
to have that compiled in.

So far I've had to recompile my 2.6.8 custom kernel once after getting a
whole bunch of updates with the Redhat Up2date tool and having my USB
keyboard work erratically (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't) --
recompiling solved the problem.

I don't know enough about Linux to have a clue if that means anything,
but maybe someone else will have a lightbulb moment from it.
