Re: AMD Althon and Duron !! Redhat 7 & inetd

["Antti Hakulinen" <thpo dreamtheater zzn com>]

emacs /etc/lilo.conf

Add line as follows:

append="x86_serial_nr=1"

Then run "lilo -v" .

Now you don't have to type it everytime you start the linux.

Ok.
Now, where in the hell has the inetd jumped in the redhat 7???
