The biggest beta test in the world ( Window$ ) overwrite the MBR no questions asked during install. If you want to keep the RH installation you can boot from the RH cd/floppy and repair LILO or GRUB whatever RH was using. ( I think RH has GRUB as default ) |

| Gentoo hardlocks on keyboard use! Posted: 29 Nov 2004 10:10 PM PST OSU wrote: [snip] The continous beep is an interesting clue. My guess is that it's overheating and what you're hearing is the temperature alarm (either from lm_sensors or from the BIOS itself). Check system temps and ambient temp next time you have a lockup. (FWIW, I saw similar symptoms once when a heatsink retention clip had broken and the heatsink suddenly fell of the CPU. It had worked fine for ages but died suddenly and wouldn't go more than a few minutes without locking up. But that's understandable when the heatsink is nowhere near the CPU!) |

Make sure you add users that should have access to group "disk" or the appropriate group. If you don't want the partition to mounted by default on booting add the "noauto" option. I have Debian 3.0r2, writing to ntfs was still considered risky and I'd assume you'd have to recompile the kernel to get write access. I assume there is still no write access by default (the last I'd checked, writing was still risky and running chkdsk/scandisk was required after any any writes.) man mount, and man fstab have lots of useful information.

| Posted: 29 Nov 2004 06:37 PM PST In comp.os.linux.setup Ana C. Dent <com>: Shouldn't be a problem, you might need to change the BIOS not to halt on errors, to be able to boot headless. You should configure your boot-loader to output anything to serial and connect the system serial to some other box/terminal server/etc. Check the rh docs how to go about it. A system that has a remote BIOS redirection (LAN/serial) would be the best for running completely headless, sadly not all x86 systems allow that, there are some add on cards, which aren't really cheap. -- Michael Heiming (X-PGP-Sig > GPG-Key ID: EDD27B94) mail: echo qr | perl -pe 'y/a-z/n-za-m/' #bofh excuse 3: electromagnetic radiation from satellite debris |

| How to set up a Linux machine that occupies the minimum memory footprint ? Posted: 28 Nov 2004 04:46 AM PST begin Jean-David Beyer dedi ki: Opteron motherboards too. Only, as I gather (I'm still a student on this), Opterons additionally have Numa arrangement option to boost performance: Each CPU concurrently accesses its own local memory in Numa, as opposed to sharing a single bus serially in shared memory systems. And it's still possible to use all the memory from within any CPU (via inter-CPU Hyper Transport mechanism). For this to work, the OS should have CPU and memory affinity, aka NUMA capable kernel (the doc above says only "memory affinity" but it also takes CPU affinity if I'm not mistaken). Linux does that. So, for a general purpose system Opteron/Numa makes a good deal. Though it doesn't help the OP much, as he needs all the RAM from within a single process. I reckon this is due to the fact that the north bridge (MMU) is integrated into amd-64 CPUs, which is a very good thing as it speeds up memory access compared to the off-chip north bridge on AthlonXP and Xeons. So you need the CPU in its place to access related memory. Nevertheless, considering the price diff between an Itanium or Xeon-EM64T and an Opteron or Athlon64, a dual Amd-64 setup could cost the same as a single Itanium. -- Abdullah | aramazan@ | Ramazanoglu | myrealbox | ________________| D.0.T cöm |__ |

You do not say how you partitioned the disk in the first place. Wipe the disk. place three partitions, each of size 5GB, which will be the / directories of each ofthe three distros. Make the rest of the disk into one partition which you can call /common Into /common you will place home, and othr common stuff. Then install each of the distros into their partition.
