You can install FC3 over top of RH9. When you get to the part in
anaconda where it asks you to partition your drive, select manual and
pick the same partitions where RH9 currently is. Also tell it to format
those partitions rather than retain the data.

Otherwise, make sure you understand your current grub configuration and
it's relation to the NT loader so that you don't lose the ability to
boot into either OS once you're done. If you screw up, there's nothing
that can't be fixed later, but it's best to save yourself the headache.

Yeah - it doesn't use the bios.
 

That's right.
 

Hmm .. I'm not sure if I have 1024 cylinders on those things' disks. No
I don't ...

Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes

And I only boot off a small ide disk in order to start up scsi (not a
bootable controller).

Newbie Samba server configuration question?

Just google.
Samba is horrible - not the GNU/Linux part
but the windopery part. I have it working
without any problems between GNU/Linux boxes
but not reliably from PC to any of the GNU/Linux boxes yet
or through firewalls.

If you have KDE booting you can log into other
GNU/Linux boxes by typing fish://username@ipaddress
to log into another GNU/Linux box that has
that username account and ipaddress.
From windopes, you can install winscp to
do the same thing. The traffic is encrypted so
you have much more safety than samba, though
you do lose some speed which is down to the encryption
overhead.

Best distro of Linux for lame hardware?

Thundercleets: I highly recommend "VectorLinux"
(http://www.vectorlinux.com). This is a Slackware based distribution,
prepared especially for older machines. I run it on a P200 with 64MB RAM
and a 4GB hard disk. It will recognize and setup your hardware very
efficiently and is a very fast distribution with all you really need for
that machine. I have tried quite a few other distributions on older
machines and Vector is by far the best.

Mount XFS over NFS

Posted: 25 Nov 2004 12:11 AM PST

[top-posting fixed]

On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 21:39:28 +0800, a posting issued forth from com... 

XFS is a local filesystem. NFS is not. You can't mount a partition
containing an XFS filesystem on a remote machine, TTBOMK, but you can
mount a _already_mounted_ filesystem the is exported via NFS. The remote
computer doesn't care, and can't know what the underlying filesystem is,
since it doesn't access it that way. NFS (or Samba, Netware, SHFS, etc.)
does all the worrying (what little there is) for you.

Problem with my NIC

Posted: 24 Nov 2004 02:57 PM PST

Hi!
 
^^^^^^^^^^
thats ok, searching the routing table is a heavy task 
take out Kxxdhcpcd and Sxxdhcpcd 
Yep! 
^^^^^
Do you also have dhcpd running? That is the server. 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Try 'ps -ef|grep dhcp' and terminate all these deamons. Then stop the
networkcard (ifdown ethx). Start it again and configure the network card
with ifconfig. How many NICs do you have in the system?

Problem with booting an external drive

You're trying to mount /dev/sda1 as the file system root, but
there is no driver for the SCSI in the kernel, and it cannot
load the module, as it is probably missing from the initial
RAM disk, if there is any.

Ethereal problem ? & some other issues....??

Posted: 23 Nov 2004 03:29 PM PST

1. ethereal is the gui for tethereal. If you don't have ethereal in your
path or installed, then you'll have to install it first, and have a working
X system to use the gui (it runs in graphics mode). Another option is to use
tethereal to save your capture in a file and then send the file to another
PC with ethereal.
2. to give root privileges to a user, assing the user to the root group. In
/etc/group add your user next to the line beginning with root:x:0:root
3. you need to mount your winxp partition first in order to use it. Suppose
your hard disk is /dev/hda, the type "fdisk /dev/hda -l" and check for the
partition name of the partition with FAT 32 filesystem, suppose it's hda3.
Create a directory like /mnt/windows and mount the partition with: "mount
/dev/hda3 /mnt/windows". If you get an error you may need to include support
in your kernel for the filesystem used by windows (eg: Fat 32, NTfs, so on).

good luck,

Replace "en" and "US" with codes for your language and country.
You can use "recode" to convert between character sets.
