I don't like to modify system files in case an upgrade comes along. I prefer
to handle these things in rc.local. See my other message for additional
concerns I have -- like why doesn't the kernel pick up these things on boot
in the first place?
Thx

How do you set up bridge-utils-1.0.4 ?

if you can, execute a "boot installed system" from
your FC CD#1. then while in FC, choose to reinstall
grub, obviously specifying /dev/hda1 as boot and
install to the /dev/hda MBR. you'll want to copy all
the files from your current /boot partition to the
one on /dev/hda1

RedHat 9 to Fedora

I've upgraded from one RH to another without trouble in the past. Nor does an
upgrade seem to leave old files around. It does a nice clean job of upgrading.

However, FC3 seems to be another story. I have FC1 and can't upgrade to FC3 on
my Dell desktop using graphical or text mode. It either locks up or stupidly
bitches about a swap partition WHICH SHOULD BE IRRELEVANT.

Geez I'm sick of Linux. After 10 years of daily use and fighting with it
nonetheless, I'm ready to trade it in for something that WORKS.

Anybody want to trade a Dell for an Apple?

Linux HDD from master to slave... how to boot the Linux partition?

One problem when you move a drive is that /etc/fstab tries to mount the
wrong partitions. You will need to use a Linux rescue system to change
that. There is a rescue system on SuSE install CD/DVD if you back out of
the install.

From Linux rescue system, mount the Linux partition containing /etc as
read/write, change entries in that etc/fstab that reference hda to hdb
(and remove or change any that previously pointed to hdb), then boot the
rescue system, but tell it to mount /dev/hdb6 (if that is your root
partition) as root. Check docs for your boot loader, but I think using
root=/dev/hdb6 as an extra parameter for GRUB or LILO.

Then you need to figure out where you want to put your boot loader. It
helps to have a small partition on hda for the boot loader, instead of
putting it in the MBR, so you do not have to worry about Windows stepping
on it when reinstalling Windows.

I had to do something similar when the Win98 drive a PC died (no great
loss) and I had to move Linux hdb down to hda. The only trouble I had is
that LILO kept looking for the kernel on the rescue CD instead of in
/boot, and I forget how I resolved that. I may have had to copy vmlinuz
to a floppy, used rdev to tell it which partition was root, then could run
lilo after booting to get it to use the kernel in /boot

Heh. The name *without* the "n" is of course the canonical device name.

Telnet to Fedora Box - New to Linux.

Fedora Core, I believe, may come with telnet turned off as it is very
insecure and ssh is the better alternative. Check in
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet, and look for the "disable" line.
