How to have two ethernet cards.

If both cards are on the same machine they need the same address or one
needs no address; e.g., if one is PPPoE it will be assigned an address by
the ppp server. In the case of one being a LAN connection (192.168.1.1) and
the other being INET getting IP address via DHCP it may have both
192.168.1.1 and the IP assigned via DHCP.

You can tell the kernel make *config Y instead of M when compiling to have
the modules included in the kernel image.

What is the best way to copy datas from an old dying HDD to a new HDD?

Don't mount it. Use dd to read the partition(s) and make a disk file. You
can then 'loop' mount the file and read all the data. The exact dd command
will be something like:

dd if=/dev/hda9 of=/nameofoutputfile conv=noerror conv=sync

noerror keeps going if it encounters read errors and sync fills in any bad
blocks with zeroes so things don't get all jumbled.

And with guaranteed response and resolution time, there are quite
a few companies out there who will happily offer this service
24/7 if you send them enough cash.

In addition the OP has just shown himself as google troll with a
few recent cross-posting attempts to start a flame war with his
shinny new google throw away account.

Now he is expecting people to hurry up to help him, at least some
extra points for being crude.

New install question

Fedora seems to be popular so you could install and expect some local
help. You didnt mention how much RAM you've. If you got anything
upwards 256 MB then no need to worry bout slowing down the system. Live
CD's are perfect when it comes to check out Linux, but dont compare the
speed to a linux or windows running from hard disk :).

Installation is getting really easier now a days, just to be on safe
side back up all imp data before you proceed

As far i'm concerned there's no need for virus protection for linux,
but there are some. check out http://www.clamav.net/ I havent tried it.
If anyone has then keep me informed. Also there's plenty of commrcial
anti virus but i wouldnt recommend them unless you're running some mail
server (which i guess you're not). Google it.

I'd love to see many people try the Linux From Scratch
(www.linuxfromscratch.org). It's fun and definately improves our Linux
and system knowledge. The instructions are detailed and even newbies
can follow it.

enabling DMA on ATA drive leads to "hdparm -Tt" failure on Fedora Core 3 (fc3)

Then check your system BIOS and enable (if needed) DMA on the IDE
interface(s) if possible. Enabling the DMA on the secondary IDE interface
without enabling DMA on the primary and/or on the interface (bus) is dumb.
Please modify the BIOS configuration first (if needed and possible), then
the /etc/sysconfig/harddrive file.
 

Please do not assume.....

 

Yes I do agree, however the lack of a virtual file does not necessarily mean
anything other then no information is available from the kernel, you might
need to build your own custom kernel for this information to be available.

If you have an old system with non-esoteric hardware, that's a good
experimental base.
 

Try a handful of liveCDs to start with. Go to distrowatch.com and look
around, try a bunch of stuff. Learn a bit about different ways of doing
stuff and how things work, only then think about building a system from
scratch.

Trouble installing Corel Linux 1.2 not loading LILO

I believe that to be fallacious. Many current distros (Mepis,
Kanotix, Vector Linux, DamnSmallLinux, Slackware off the top of my head)
still offer 2.4 kernels that work well with older hardware but are up to
date on security and libraries etc.

I presently run a perfectly usable install of Damn Small Linux 1.2 on a
1996 Toshiba Tecra.

Crazy samba problem

From man smbmount:

-d|--debug=debuglevel

debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
parameter is not specified is zero.

The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only crit-
ical errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a
reasonable level for day-to-day running - it generates a small
amount of information about operations carried out.

Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data,
and should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels
above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate
HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.

Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
level parameter in the smb.conf file.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
