Wireless & Thinkpad T23 help.

Posted: 27 Oct 2004 02:26 PM PDT

This is what I have found. Can you provide me a place to start and any
specifics. Will I need to download this additionall package or is there
support from Fedora Core 2 files.


4.2 Network (Onboard Wireless)

It's a Hermes chipset, so you can either use the older wlan-ng package, or
with recent (2.4.15+) kernels you can use the Orinoco PCI driver.

alias eth1 orinoco_pci

Is all that was required in /etc/modules.conf to make this work. Note: using
the Orinoco driver version 0.11 and 0.12 didn't work too well for it - the
card would lockup. I grabbed 0.13d from David Gibson's site
(http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/) and installed that, and problems
went away. It should be included in 2.4.21 or so - it's not in 2.4.20.

You'll need to rmmod and modprobe the driver on suspend/resume - I have a
script I run on resume that restarts everything I need.

Beginning Linux?

I understand your frustration here. I haven't played with cygwin for a
long time. You've got to understand that cygwin is not a 'real' or
'typical' linux distribution. I really think you'd be way ahead to install
a real linux on your computer and dual boot. This can be done quite easily
with, for example, Mandrake or Knoppix. It would make life a lot simpler
since all the stuff you referenced above will already be installed.

BTW gcc is the standard GNU C/C++ compiler. QT is a toolkit for building
graphical user interfaces.

Is there a way via up2date to download the RPMs that I already have
installed without of course installing them again ?

Can't boot(find hard drives) after Fedora core install

Ignoring existing partition geometry seems to a more widespread problem
than just recent Linux. When I installed 64-bit XP Pro beta to an
existing partition (that just needed formatting) it changed my heads
from 240 to 255 which made partitions NOT end on cylinder boundaries, so
it could not even reboot itself. I was able to repair the partition table
from a Linux rescue CD (with guessing, luck, and no data loss).

So I recognized the different cylinders 64-bit SuSE 9.1 wanted to use
(even though fdisk on another vt showed correct geometry) and managed to
work around it without mangling my partition geometry again.

Curious if 64-bit XP Pro uses the same troublesome version of
partitioning software that ignores existing geometry.

Indeed, and with some distros ~/.<shell>rc sources /etc/[profile|login] so

But even `umask 077` is not going to automatically create executable

Install Linux after XP and 98

Posted: 21 Oct 2004 04:36 PM PDT

GVK wrote (in part): 
 
Worked for me. I recently wiped my hard drives clean on my old machine,
installed Windows-XP first, then Fedora Core 2. No problem booting either.
I did not like Fedora, so I did a fresh install of Red Hat Linux 9 on top
of it (partitionning the HD with Red Hat's Disk Druid to leave the Windows
junk alone) and I could still boot Windows-XP. 
The only thing to watch out for if you delete Linux is to restore the MBR
first. It is easier that way. But you can presumably do that from a
Windows boot disk even if you forget.

Help installing from boot.iso

Those were valid questions, even if he could have stopped at
(2.), as this seems to be your problem, checking with some known
to boot CD should show in a minute. Then try the manual of your
CD record software, how to burn an iso and start over.

command parameters to boot linux from installation CD

linux rescue

answer to the questions (language, keyboard...)

At the end you will be prompted with something like this:

"your system has been mounted on /mnt/sysimage, press enter then type:

chroot /mnt/sysimage"

Do it, and after you can access to your system and change the parameter in
/etc/grub.conf

cannot mount /dev/sdb1

Are guesses acceptable?
 

'man mount' says if you use the "-f" flag, it doesn't mount
the filesystem.

-f Causes everything to be done except for the actual system call;
if it's not obvious, this ``fakes'' mounting the file
system. This option is useful in conjunction with the -v
flag to deter- mine what the mount command is trying to do.
It can also be used to add entries for devices that were
mounted earlier with the -n option.

What does 'mount -fv /dev/sdb1' say?

Is /etc on a readonly filesystem?
 

Perhaps you could post your entire /etc/fstab file.
 

Does one or more of the three lines above have an error in it? The first
line says "/mnt/export" but the subsequent lines say "/export".
 

When init tries to mount the file systems during bootup, what message does
it display when it tries /dev/sdb1 ?

pcmcia network card problem

Posted: 19 Oct 2004 12:56 PM PDT

Thanks for your suggestion. The reason I am not using fedora is just I have
the RH9 3cds at hand and do not want to download another 2G files. But i
Just got the 2.6 kernel and will update my kernel and the rest incrementaly.
Hope I can catch up with fedora2/3 later on.

apt-get install problem in Debian due to source dependency

How did you compile from source? If you just compiled and installed in
/*/bin then dpkg or apt have no idea that the program is installed.

Programs need to be compiled/installed in Debian by either building a .deb
package by hand,
deb-make ... dpkg --build then dpkg -i program.deb
or
apt-get --build source package then dpkg -i program.deb

Run "make oldconfig" with your old kernel .config file in your old source

there. Then diff the .config files to look for the changes and see if there
are any surprises.
