How to -- PPPoE with my ADSL Connection to connect internet with CentOS 5

Well there is a distinct lack of understanding on BOTH sides.

You actually do not know *how* to configure what you have on Windows:
You just know a sequence of commands to achieve a result. That is not
really understanding what you have done.


Now PPOe is a protocol some ISPs use between the modem and the ISP.
Normally its set up in the *modem*. Usually by meas of either a special
windows program that 'finds' the modem, or by means of a web page that
teh modem will bring up.

Of course no one has written a simple plug'n'play driver for Linux, you
have to do it the real way. What has confused you is that you THOUGHT
you were setting up PPOE on the windows computer. You were not. You were
setting it up on the MODEM. Windows is for complete idiots, so it never
confuses things by telling you what you are doing. JUST what you need to do.

Now here is the next point. How is the modem connected to the PC? (USB?
Ethernet?) and what is its type/name etc?

Until we know that all you can do is undo all the PPOE stuff you have
setup, as its a complete red herring. Its for ancient systems that usesd
to use it for something weird like VPN'ing or with a dial up modem
attached.


What you need is a web screen into your router to set that up. The first
thing is to get te PC talking to the modem. THEN set up the ISP system

It's not as easy as windows: I you think that Linux s, on account of
that, go back to windows.

Linux wasn't designed to make you think you have a bigger than you
actually have: In fact itst a pretty humbling experience for people who
think hey 'know computers' cos they got a windows PC onto the internet.

Hi Oskar,
 

:-)
 

OK, good.
 

You may want to take a look at my DFSee disk-tool as well,
there is a full-function BETA available at:

http://www.dfsee.com/download/dfsee9bb.zip
or
http://www.dfsee.com/download/dfsee9xx_linux.tgz

The ZIP has DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Linux versions.

You can use that to browse your partition tables, including
GRUB details, and it also includes a binary sector editor.
(and soon a disassembler for the hackers amongst us :-)

Regards, JvW

Yes. That is (kinda) what I was looking for.
More specifically, I would like to take some action
just after the parent process forks, but before it actually
exec's the child. This action should configure the child
such that it is not allowed to over-commit, but instead
must die if it can not get the memory it needs.

We have experimented with system-wide changes to the
over-commit policy, but apparently option 2 (strict over-commit)
is buggy.

I can't afford to patch the OS at this time as that would require
patching thousands of machines from the US to China (in my
multi-national corp.)

Using VMWare to boot linux patition.

You should get a realistic idea of a virtual machine. Every physical
device can have only one "manager", which is responsible for
synchronizing all device related requests. As long as your host system
is allowed to use your display card, the VM cannot have control over
that card. That's why a VM uses different (virtual) devices, with
appropriate drivers, configuration etc.

You effectively try to boot the same system on a different machine, what
rarely works in the real world, and so fails in a virtual world as well.

Of course there exist Linux CD's that boot on any system, but these use
a RAM disk to hold all the files, that are created for the actual
machine during the system initialization. Possibly such a system allows
to store such a configuration on a HD instead of a RAM disk, so that it
can be customized by the user, and is used when the system is booted
again, on the same machine. Unless you have installed *such* a flexible
system on your physical machine, you cannot simply boot it in a VM.


Your network problems most probably result from an missing or
inappropriate setup of the virtual network card, so that the guest OS
cannot find a network to connect to. Using NAT for the virtual network
card will usually work without much configuration trouble.

DVD reader access error

Posted: 29 Jul 2007 03:02 AM PDT


When I boot from the LiveCD and look at the "Hardware information"
data, the DVD drive is seen as an IDE device.
When I boot from the hard drive, it is listed as SCSI device.

From what I understand, this is because my drive is a CD burner, and
then must use "SCSI emulation" or something like that. Since the
LiveCD can access the CD, is it possible that this SCSI emulation
makes the CD unreadable ? If so : how can I deactivate it ?
