Good suggestion, Woody... It's also a good idea to occasionally run

crack and the cops programs to hunt for system security weaknesses that may

a few iterations at first to get things all cleaned up, but then running it

Hello Steve,
|
|
|
|
This is becoming quite common with the larger IDE drives. You
|
|
have two options, (well, more than that really, but it gets messier!).
|
|
First you can make Linux believe the DOSish CMOS description of the
|
|
drive (a little complicated) or lose 12 MB of your disk and only use
|
|
the first (REAL) 1024 cylinders (SIMPLE). The simple option first:
|
|
|
|
SIMPLE: Boot the machine and interrupt the boot to go to CMOS
|
|
configuration. On the (usually) base configuration
|
|
screen you will have the disk types (hard drives)
|
|
listed... yours may be called "user" or 47 for the
|
|
type. This is where you will find the cylinders, heads,
|
|
and sectors of the device listed. Only the number of
|
|
sectors is sacred and MUST reflect reality! The drive
|
|
you have is, in reality, a 1048 cylinder, 16 head, 63
|
|
sector device. The cylinders and heads have been
|
|
remapped to satisfy the boot and DOS views of reality
|
|
which cannot handle more than 1024 cylinders on a device.
|
|
(10 bits for addressing... 2^10 = 1024) The simple
|
|
fix is to set the cylinders to 1024 and the heads to 16,
|
|
leaving sectors as 63. This will cost you 24 cylinders
|
|
[or 24*(540/1048) MB], but will insure that everyone
|
|
is looking at the same geometry. From then on, the
|
|
install is simple and straightforward.
|
|
|
|
NOT_SO_SIMPLE: Leave your CMOS set at cyl=524; sect=63; head=32.
|
|
Boot the Linux boot kernel you've made. At the FIRST
|
|
prompt, enter the REAL disk geometry (NOT what CMOS
|
|
has set!). In this case, you would type:
|
|
ramdisk hd=1048,16,63
|
|
Continue the boot process. When told to, replace the
|
|
boot diskette with the root diskette you've chosen.
|
|
After Linux comes up, login as root and invoke
|
|
fdisk. Assuming this is the first IDE drive you are
|
|
using, type in:
|
|
fdisk /dev/hda
|
|
When fdisk starts, press "p" to see the existing
|
|
partitions. Delete any you DON'T need (hopefully in
|
|
this case all of them!) Next go to expert mode (enter
|
|
an "x") From the expert menu, change the cylinders
|
|
(type in a "c") to the CMOS setting. Likewise for
|
|
the number of heads (type in an "h"). Then return
|
|
to the main menu and define your partitions as you
|
|
would normally... with the parameters you"ve set
|
|
fdisk to use as far as number of heads and cylinders.
|
|
When done, save the new table via the "w" option.
|
|
After the partition table has been updated, continue
|
|
the install using "setup" and all should be fine. Note
|
|
that when you wish to use fdisk again, you'll have to
|
|
go through this drill all over to force it to buy what
|
|
it sees. But now Linux, DOS, and CMOS are all seeing
|
|
the same (distorted) view of reality! :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that the above techniques work with ANY drive with
|
|
more than 1024 cylinders, just adjust the numbers for cylinders
|
|
and heads as appropriate... i.e. Reduce the number of cylinders
|
|
via a factor to get it below 1024 and then multiply the number
|
|
of heads by this same factor. DO NOT MESS WITH SECTORS! This is
|
|
the one piece that actually has to be real!

: I am trying to setup our internet server to accept telnet connections at

|
|
|
|
You need to:
|
|
|
|
1. Add a new entry in the /etc/services for the new service, like:
|
|
|
|
my-telnet 9000/tcp
|
|
|
|
2. Add a new entry in the /etc/inetd.conf for the daemon that will
|
|
receive the connection:
|
|
|
|
my-telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/mtel mtel
|
|
|
|
Now, the mtel program is a modified in.telnetd that runs your desired
|
|
login program instead of /bin/login.

Hope this helps,

|

Thanks for all of your help....I finally got my swap file
|
|
activated. (Thanks Joerg F, Mikey..etc)
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, I have a problem configuring my sound card. I have
|
|
read all of the doc to no avail.
|
|
I started configuring my sound blaster for SB pro,
|
|
did a make depend then make config. It suddently
|
|
halted when it started compiling for sound!!!!
|
|
|
|
Then I decided to compile the sound stuff myself....
|
|
and I had the following errors:
|
|
|
|
darkstar:/usr/src/linux-1.0.9/drivers/sound# make
|
|
cc -c soundcard.c
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
IN fact the ultrasound.h and soundcard.h contained the following
|
|
|
|
#include<linux/soundcard.h>
|
|
|
|
So I when into linux/soundcard.h and found this!!!!
|
|
|
|
#include <linux/soundcard.h> :-(
|
|
|
|
Something wrong here, does anybody have the 2 correct files handy,
|
|
they could send me. As an attachment or something.
|
|
|
|
I really don't want to sound load the whole thing again.
|
|
Or if I had too could you give me the filename and ftp site
|
|
I could get only the sound stuff.(up-to-date of course)
|
|
|
|
|
|
I need ultrasound.h and soundcard.h.
|
|
|
|
I am using SlackWare 2.0 (FYI on diskette)
|

Thanks again for all of your help, I am slowing getting this going!!!

How can I send a break signal on a serial line?

And probably, somebody can tell me where to find information like this

and more (e.g. the detailed use of fcntl and ioctl for programming the

probably there is more detailed version out now.

I've read enough about Linux to pique my interest but don't really

know how to get started. I've downloaded some stuff but it all appears

is with Dos or Windows?

Since I spend some time on a Unix network, I'm somewhat familiar with

it. I do get a little confused about some of the files I see listed when

I go to download from ftp site (tar, Z, etc.). Are they all handled by

gunzip?

Term is definately the way to go. You will still need seyon to get the initial
|
|
connection. After you are connected, just you will kick off term on the remote
|
|
machine, suspend the seyon program with the "suspend" button, kick off term on
|
|
your Linux box, and then start as many trsh sessions as you want. It's great!
|
|
I highly recommend Mosaic+term too. Once I got term itself up Mosaic+term went
|
|
fine the first time.

.... OK .... this must be a stupid question but after working for an
|
|
hour I give up ...
|
|
|
|
I just installed Slackware 2.0, kernel version 1.0.9, ftape version
|
|
0.9.10 (I think ... theres a *0.9.10.patch file in my /boot
|
|
directory). It would not work unless I'm root. Then I chmod a+rw
|
|
/dev/ftape from root. It then worked once, and then no more. There
|
|
must be an obvious answer to this .... thanks in advance for your
|
|
help.
