Hi,
|
||
I am a newbie in Linux world, and bought a couple of CDROMs of
|
||
slackware (Linux 1.0) from Trans-Ameritech Release 3, April 1994.
|
||
I have trouble to utilize my 810MB IDE hard-drive, and I would appreciate much some help from you.
|
||
|
||
Here are some data of my setup:
|
||
Master Drive 1 IDE ---C drive -325MB -DOS
|
||
Slave Drive 2 IDE ---810MB
|
||
|
||
I tried to split the 810MB into frist part 300MB for DOS, and 510MB for
|
||
linux native. First, I use DOS fdisk to creat an extended 300 MB for DOS. And linux installation were done by boot and root disks. Because Linux default maximum # of cylinders is 1024 and I extended it to 1571 by using 'x' option under fdisk. Subsequently, I created two linux native partitions on the rest of the 810MB disk. Here is a summary when typing 'p':
|
||
begin end bytes
|
||
/dev/hdb1/ 2 2 611 307440 5 extended
|
||
/dev/hdb2/ 612 612 644 16632 83 linux native
|
||
/dev/hdb3 645 645 1571 467208 83 linux native
|
||
/dev/hdb5 2 2 611 307408+ 6 DOS 16 +>32M
|
||
|
||
|
||
Everything seems happy until I installed LILO and tried to boot from
|
||
Hard drive /dev/hda. The kernel won't boot even though I can boot it from the
|
||
floppy (made after setup everything). Therefore, I decided to recompile the kernel to follow the usual way. It failed and the message is:
|
||
|
||
geo_comp_addr:cylinder number is too big(1522> 1023)
|
||
|
||
If I run LILO in linux, I got the same message.
|
||
|
||
Would you somebody suggest me either to patch something to the Kernel and/or find another way to get around?
|
||
|
||
Thanks you very much.

Hi everyone,
|
||
|
||
this sounds like a FAQ, but I didn't find any hint in all the HOWTOs, FAQs,
|
||
and manpages:
|
||
|
||
What MTU should one choose for a SLIP link using recent 1.1.* kernels?
|
||
What is the maximum value, and what is a good choice?
|
||
|
||
|
||
thank you in advance,

I *STRONGLY* recommend the "xkeycaps" utilities by Jamie Zawinsky
|

(jwz@lucid.com). It's very convenient and allow you to create a personal
|
||
modmap (to be used by xmodmap in .xinitrc) for a lot of various keyboard, even
|

|
||
|

The latest version seems to be 2.22 and is available at lucid.com:/pub/hacks.

You are wrong. Term versions 1.x only had TCP. Starting with version 2.0.0 now also UDP is available.

It can't go forward without doing more disk harm. It can't go back - so it
|

stops the task dead. Fix your disk problem and the rest will be ok. On a

corrupt disk you can either crash, corrupt the disk, or stop the task ...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but folks please bear with me. I upgraded my

kernel from 1.0.9 to 1.1.18 and when booting, at the time when the kernel is
|

being uncompressed I get a message saying memory is tight. Also a free shows
|

6772k as available memory.
|
||
|
||
I have 8 Meg and Linux reputedly needs only 2M for a barebones setup. Then why
|

do I get the warning at boot? And whatever happened to the (8192 - 6772)K of
|

memory?
|

Maybe this may not be of interest to too many people here, so I'd be grateful

if you could reply via email, to save some bandwidth.

One of the thins to make sure of there is no card in your pc using the
|
||
same interrupt, ethernet cards ar notorious for this.
|
||
|
||
I had the same problem when I had an ethernet card in my box , since this
|
||
card locks the interrupt( inside the kernel), the serial driver can't use it.
|
||
Hence the port can't be used. I solved the problem giving the ethernet card
|
||
an other intterupt.
|
||
The same principle applies for other cards aswell of course.
|
||
|
||
Good luck Wouter

What you do is to run TERM instead, which lets you run as many connections to
|
||
your remote machine as you want. Download the term sources from sunsite, and
|
||
compile on both your Linux box and school account. Then follow the instructions
|
||
supplied to get them talking.
|
||
With a fast modem you can even run X-windows things over term, but for multiple
|
||
logins you are better with several local x-terms and trsh in each.

The one I had, but never tried, was to set up two printers, one local and one

remote, where the 'if' for the local printer processed the file then lpr'd it

to the remote one. I haven't tried it but it should work.

0x310 with its correct eth address and AFTER having NetKit-A-0.xx.tar.gz and

What makes me feel bad is that I have installed it TRHU NFS with this card...

Yes, I repeat, I did it booting the net disk from the slackware distribution.

And it worked.

[Is it possible to generate a vmlinuz or zImage from this diskette using dd

I have compile and the network is up fine with the same kernel/distrib BUT a 3C509 card

Does anyone out there have a Linux machine set up as a firewall? I am

currently trying to set up one at the company I'm working at. I have a Linux
|

machine set up with two net cards and I have gotten the kernel to recognise
|

both cards. I have set up the static routing so one card will only see our
|
||
gateway to the internet while the other will see our subnet. My question is:
|

how do you filter the packets so we only allow outgoing ftp's and telnet
|

sessions and allow mosaic and mail both ways? Is there software availible to
|

do this? Is this even possible?

|
||
|
||
|
||
Just was about to update my shadow programs (compiling the shadow-mk
|
||
package by Mohan Kokal, which is the 3.3.2 sources), when before the
|
||
install I noticed something funny.
|
||
|
||
Here's the snippet from the Makefile where login is installed:
|
||
|
||
install -m4755 login $(LOGINDIR)/_login
|
||
install -m4711 login.secure $(LOGINDIR)/login
|
||
|
||
Hm, seems that login in installed as _login, and another binary,
|
||
login.secure is installed as login. What's funny is, the package has
|
||
no sources for login.secure. This binary was never in the
|
||
shadow-3.n.n packages, and in this package is never referred to in
|
||
any README's.
|
||
So how secure can it be that there are no sources.
|
||
Just asking.
