mandrake mandriva, SuSE SUSE NOVEL

Posted: 16 Feb 2006 01:33 PM PST

Mandrivoris LOL so funny!

I have tested lycoris in the past... it was too much like xp. I mean in the
way it looked. XP is user-friendly and all OS have to learn from it.

I know distrowatch... but I had a gap of about a year? not watching the
linux
evolutions... accept ubuntu and kubuntu which I tested to see why they were
on the top of the list of distrowatch. Well to tell you the truth they are
not so great to explain why that topped mandriva and suse in that list.....

Mounting other filesystems

Thank you for the hint, but I set /dev/hdb2 as primary when I
partitioned the disk. The same happens with /dev/hdb4 (FreeBSD
_slice_). But I am going to check with FDISK.

Having done some of the homework that you should have done, I find a
number of versions of lorma, either Slackware based, or Fedora Core based.
Your questions about lorma should be directed to whichever NG covers the
version that your lorma is based on. As none of the versions is
Mandrake/Mandriva based, your questions should not be posted to
a.o.l.mandrake. Please remove alt.os.linux.mandrake from your crossposted

Simple linux with samba server and gui

Posted: 15 Feb 2006 01:52 PM PST

Hi,

why not trying a debian - yes of course it sound very complicated but
for me it works fine and its easy.

- Simple standart installation with the Netboot cd (you will need a
Internet connection of course - the easiest way is using a router...)
- go through the installation process without choosing any special points
- do not choose any pakages to install
- after installation login as root
- type apt-get update
- then apt-get install samba
- /etc/init.d/samba start

and you have a running samba server. Of course without any GUI - but if
you only want to use the system as Fileserver you couldn´t do anything
with a Gui - the whole samba configuration is in a text file. There is
no real good GUI config tool for samba - that´s my humble opinion!

The last time I have done it this way the whole System used only 350mb
on disk and finished in under one hour!

regards

Checking the speed of my Ethernet interface

OK, mii-tool works. Did you try ethtool? It has a more complete
interface to the nic than mii-tool _if_ your driver supports ethtool.
It might provide more clues. Use the man pages for both.

Essentially, there is nothing you can do to _force_ the nic and switch
port to use 1000Mbs. They must auto-negotiate the speed and agree that
the link can support the rate. If there is a problem when they
negotiate, they will fall back to 100Mbs.

About all you can do is double check the configuration of the switch
port and the nic to make sure that some setting is not preventing the
GigE link and double check/replace the cable between them. The cable
is cat5e or cat6 isn't it? If it's an older cat5 cable it likely won't
support the GigE link speed. You might try to run a short cat5e or
cat6 patch cord between the switch port and nic if you can get them
close enough together to confirm that the cable is the the problem.

After that, you're down to chasing ghosts :-)

Every GigE link has it's own peculiarities and chasing down the fault
can be tedious and frustrating. You just have to be determined and go
one step at a time ferreting out the cause.

good luck,

grub can not boot in windows

Your windows grub stanza should look this this:

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


Make sure the above stanza has the spaces between words, as shown above. I
remember trying to help someon, and it just turned out to be bad
syntax. The version you posted has improper syntax. You can also test
that the syntax is correct by typing it in manually at boot. You access
the grub shell at boot by pressing "c" (for command).

If that doesn't fix the problem, then I have a question:
Did your Fedora install involve resizing existing disk partitions?

Still Having problem when installing Fedora core 4

Posted: 10 Feb 2006 10:26 PM PST

Sory for the delay,

I'd participated a FOSS conference in last few days.

So answers for your questions are listed below

1. My first OS is MS windows XP service pack 2 and no issue with
hardware

2. I participating a Linux Administration course these days and the
instructor the one who gave me the 4cd pack. but the thing is those cds
were worked properly in our course lab machines. I tried with another
cd pack and dvd also, but same problem occures.
I've set commands to "not to check harsware when installling" but,...
same.

3. I have no idea how he obtained them but cds are working other
machines.

4. I have those drivers but due to scareness of IDE I connect 2 Hard
drivers and two of the DVD ROM, CD RW or DVD RW @ a time

5. All of them are properly configured.

6. I created 10GB ext3 partition to install FC4 on the Master Hard
drive

7.No unformatted partitions or unpartitioned spaces.

8.No bad RAM

I do not understand this at all

So if you don't mind, please help me Stefan

I'm thinking of Debian, but I'm afraid to go for it untill I figure
this out

Thanks for your Kindness
