I think you need to base your install on the server or alternate CD.
See http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html I did it with

no mouse pointer

We need more information, is the mouse there but you just don't see
it? I mean if you move the mouse around you see windows or icons
highlight as if they're under the mouse? If so then you need to

go to directory /etc/X11 and
edit the file xorg.conf to add to the section called "Device"
an entry for "HWcursor" set to "false"

Section "Device"

Option "HWcursor" "false"
EndSection

If you don't have a mouse at all, then it's something else.

external disk for booting linux: which technology

Old parallel SCSI,probably, but serial scsi may have some life yet.
One of the fundamental problems with SCSI has been the
plethora of "standards" as the technology evolved. All
pretty much incompatible of course.

SATS and SAS are pretty clearly they way to go at this time.

How do I start plain il' telnet

I am not so negative..BUT I have noticed a tendency on returning to
Linux after about 5 years..to find that it has got fatter, and in its
attempts to attract windows users, more like windows.

That is, in general installation is easy, seamless and requires no user
input, but when it goes wrong its harder to fix, because half the config
files are now generated by something else..

There ought to be a sort of Unix Interop so that everyone could
standardize on ways of doing things.

 

I haven't found any of those issues.

In fact the stability of my non-X server has been as good as anything I
have ever used.
 

Ah. I'm using debian, and its pretty good now I understand how it
works..the bad time was starting from a very old CD - a place it didn't
understand..
 

Unix was always like that. Which is why one learnt shell and Vi..at
least they were common across all platforms.

 

QTParted problem, among other (trying to dual boot)..

Try the gparted livecd. I had similar problems when I tried to use
the various parted versions on Linux livecds, but not with the gparted
livecd. I can't explain why that should make a difference, and my
attempting to do so would just be speculation (e.g. could be different
versions of parted (such as gparted v. qtparted v. parted) or that the
distros version was from a different date or that the supporting
libraries were different or etc.)

However, as I said, I found that the gparted livecd was the "most
reliable" on my system. Your mileage may vary....

Fedora 6 NIC issues

First tell us if the driver module's loaded.
use the command lsmod

DFQ - ethernet (not TCP) setup

OK, I ran:

modprobe ne irq=10 io=0x300

The card was then recognised, so I followed your advice and added the
commands to a file 'local' in
/etc/modprobe.d

However although the card is recognised after I've run modprobe, it is
not found on the next boot.

I've pasted the output of ifconfig before and after running modprobe
below. Also included are the contents of the 'local' file and the
/etc/network/interfaces file

One clue to the problem might be that the other card is a D-Link DE528
PCI ne2000 clone. I've read that having two cards using the same
driver can be tricky to set up. However I've tried removing the pci
card and all that does is produce more error messages. eth0 (pci) is
not found and neither is eth1 (isa)

I'm running Debian Sarge (stable) installed from an FTP server in mid
October (internet install) on an IBM GL300. No kernel mods (I don't
know how to do that yet!)

TIA for any advice.

ypcat: can't get local yp domain: Local domain name not set

Did you start ypbind on the client? It has to run on every client.

What is the output of "domainname". It should print the local NIS
Domainname. If the command prints "(none)" you could set it manually using
the domainname command. Setting it permanently depends on the distribution
you are using. For Fedora/RedHat you would create a file:

/etc/sysconfig/ypbind

with a single Line:

NISDOMAIN=...

of course specifying your correct local domainname. Or you could use
system-config-authentication to do the same.
