Could something have happened to the user's default shell? For example, a
shell set to /bin/false will act just as you describe.

Kosmo, pay attention to this one!

Could be a corrupt CD -- there are a lot of them about these days. Try a
CD about 3 years old.

Was it working fine, before you upgraded?
What are the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst?

Uh-oh, hard drive migration snafu

When you started copying whole partitions with dd, you were copying them
byte for byte including the filesystem metadata. IOW, your filesystems
on the new disk are now the same size as the ones on the old disk. Your
larger partitions won't have access to the extra space. Moreover, since
you state that you mounted the new partitions, I presume you had already
created filesystems on them, which were overwritten with the smaller
filesystems from the older drives. Then when you shutdown with the
power button, things were probably in a wildly inconsistent state. Who
knows what happened with the partitions on /dev/hdb.

The fact that the W98 boxes cannot ping the XP box may be significant.
It could be the XP box is running a software firewall to ignore incoming
pings. I am not running XP, so I can't really advise you about how to
disable it.

To try to debug this problem, you could connect your linux box to the
Netgear switch (unplug a W98 box temporarily) and see if you can ping the
W98 boxes from there. If you can ping the other boxes, then that
probably means there is something that is not configured correctly on
the Netgear router (or some other problem with that segment)- but you
would be isolating the problem somewhat.

Also, when you have restarted your linux box when connected to the
network switch run these commands:

# route -n
# ifconfig

And post the model numbers of the Netgear devices.

No. I don't think so (except basic flash). With that said....
crossover works quite well in this regard.

Thx for the flowers, you could have known it by typing 'pin make'
or alike, dunno if that comes with the shrink wrapped version you
run, never wasted my time with those versions and I don't run
suse on my primary desktop(s) anymore since ages.

Go for the professional version if you like suse or install
another distro, you don't need to buy it, you can simply copy it
from a friend. Sure you can't use the mail/phone? installation
support, but all patches are available to you through online
update. Perfectly legal. On the other hand you get some printed
docs which might be useful in the beginning and suse, like other
distro pay some Linux developer, you'd support with buying.

 

Hint:

The amount of regular poster able to answer most questions is
quite limited. Read for a while and you'll sooner or later
mention that Peter is one of them, willing to share his deep
knowledge with us. One might not like his posting stile, but
usually you can learn lots from his posts.
