Bootloader problem...HELP

I did check the BIOS, all looked fine. I then booted from an old Win95
floppy and ran fdisk. Here something weird occured. FDisk saw my winxp
disk (master, hda) as disk 2, and the Fedora disk (slave, hdb) as disk 1.
So, I shut the machine down, disconnected the hdb disk completely,
booted with the floppy and did a fdisk /mbr. Now the comp boots XP fine
again, and I have to start all over with Fedora, but that I just have to
accept, I fucked up so I guess that is my punishment :-)

Thanks for your input.

What do you mean with the "followup set" ?

Note that there is an option to make a boot CD with "mkbootdisk --iso ...".

How do I config the X server in slackware 10.1?

log in as root, run 'Xorg -configure' to create a file called

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

It should auto-detect everything if you're using a modern display
card and monitor.

Log back out and relogin as whatever user account you'll primarily be
using (it's a bad idea to do everything as root!), then just run startx
as normal to fire up the windowing system.

At least that's what I ended up doing yesterday when I installed slack
10.1 - startx worked with the default installed xorg.conf, but only at a
low resolution and it messed up the graphics hardware when dropping back
to text console.

(From a text shell 'man Xorg' will give you the manual page for Xorg;
'useradd -m xxxx' will create a user called xxxx and necessary home
directory in case you didn't know that bit - see 'man useradd')

Python 2.4.1 install broke RedHat 9 printconf-backend

Not exactly. xml.utils is part of the XML processing package PyXML -
you don't get it in the cut-down XML stuff available in the standard
library.

You could try downloading and installing from http://pyxml.sf.net/.
Though I can't guarantee there won't be other problems as RedHat can be
very annoying like this. You might have to keep Python 2.2 around in
addition to 2.4 for RH's benefit; in any case trying to remove 2.2 will
probably lead you into an RPM dependency nightmare.

Kernel panic with multi boot system

rw, 


Hi,

The rw flag for Xandros is what was present in the lilo config file of
the Xandros distribution (and I tried to pass to grub the same params).
I remember I tried also with ro but it didnt work. I want to try again,
to fiddle with it a bit, but I guess I'm gonna first create a dummy,
do-nothing lilo to make sure that if it boots in Xandros, it wont
change my mbr automatically to install the Xandros (lilo) boot loader.

Keep you posted,
Thank you for help,
Don

Startup error in gkrellm

The problem above must have been somewhere in GkrellM's config file, because
it came back when I copied the old config across.

I just learned the wisdom of not reinstalling everything. This morning, I
could connect to the Web from Windows but not from Linux. I couldn't even
connect to my modem, but the eth0 setup was working. (That was what really
put me on the track.)

I has installed Shorewall but hadn't configured it yet. I had rebooted in
the meantime. It was running and blocking everything.

Do you know the answer to the question?
