Check your "TERM" environment variable. Your terminal must be able to
do split screen (addressable cursor, etc.). Works for me.
You really should do some updates. 2.4.18-3 is the original kernel for
7.3 and it's bloody ancient. The latest is 2.4.20-31.7legacy.

The parameters are "sda=cyl/heads/sec" (slashes, not commas). Besides,
SCSI really doesn't use CHS numbering. A SCSI disk is treated like a
contiguous string of "n" blocks. CHS is really only significant when
you have an IDE or (god forbid) an ancient ST506 or ST412 drive that
doesn't support LBA mode.
Why are you forcing a CHS on this anyway? Any particular reason? Is
your BIOS too dead to sort it out?

Error 16 is EBUSY (or "device or resource busy"), so either something
else is camping out on the modem or it doesn't actually exist.

Thanks so far guys, specially Rick, so guess final try
before I jsut stay with 7.2 and just stick to text
mode...
I got the boot disk to work, when the FC1 installation
starts it asks me for the Core files, I told it to
check on the cdrom, it couldn't find it, so I quitted
the installation and made a Fedora directory in my
/root, copied all the files from all 3 cd's in there,
tried to install again and selected that pathname for
the directory with the core files(/root/Fedora), still
couldn't find it, but then I noticed that it was
asking for the "image", so I'm wondering, have I been
doing everything wrong? should I have burned the image
itself into the cd and not open the image and burn
it's contents?

You do not burn the contents OR the image. An ISO image is an image of
the CD. It can be mounted just like the CD itself could. Your software
should have an option like "Create a CD from an ISO image", but since
you haven't told us what software you're trying to use, we can't help
more than telling you that. Again, do not burn the .iso image as if
it were a file and do not burn the contents of the .iso image, but
find the option in your software to create the CD FROM an ISO image
and use that.
As far as the boot floppy is concerned, it is intended to be used with
a system which either cannot boot CDs or doesn't have a CD drive.
In the latter case, you can install from a network drive or another
partition. When you do that, the .iso files MUST be where you tell
the installer to look and MUST be named appropriately, e.g.
"yarrow-i386-disc1.iso" or whatever. Each installer is different, so
a network or foreign filesystem install using the RH9 installer will
NOT work for a Fedora install--you must use the installer appropriate
for your distribution.

To:
Message-ID: <000601c436dd$fd79b260$1586299b at labcomp>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi there,
I've been having an annoying problem with my defualt installation of redhat
9. I origianlly had Mandrake on my machine and decided to try Redhat out,
which I installed with no problem. I choose DHCP during installation to
configure my NIC as I have DSL pumped in through a Linksys Router. However,
During boot, I receive a message that my NIC is down and I cannot ping or
configure the NIC through Internet Config manager when the nic is set to
DHCP. However, if I give the NIC a static IP address of 10.0.0.1, the NIC
will report as UP during boot, however, I still cannot reach the internet.
So basically:
*Wireless Router is set to be a DHC server
*NIC w/DHCP - doesn't initialize during boot and can't get to the internet.
*NIC with 10.0.01 Will initialize, but still can't get to the internet.
*If I install another Linux version such as Mandrake, the defualt works
perfectly, so I do not think this is a NIC or Router Problem.
I believe that pings don't work with either configuration - I will have to
double check on this though.
Any and all ideas are welcome,
Thank you,
Jen

What does /etc/sysconfig/network look like?

Check for errors in /var/log files. Probably can not find a DHCP server,
in which case, check cabling and config of your DHCP server. No, your NIC
will not init if it is expecting DHCP and doesn't find it. Maybe a bad
NIC, bad cable or bad DHCP server, at this point.
> *NIC with 10.0.01 Will initialize, but still can't get to the internet.
Why would you use 10.0.0.1? On what subnet?
What is the local IP of your router?
What is your default gateway?

The default DHCP on most new Linux distros will work, even RH9 and Fedora
too.

Ping can't work if the two devices are not configured properly. If ping
doesn't work, either your firewall blocks it, with is not a good practice
before you get your network to work, or your network is miss-wired or
miss-configured.

I use Nero Express and Sonic RecordNow! (came with
Sony dvd burner). I was actually using WinImage to
open the .iso file and copy the contents to my HD then
burn it. I'll look for the option to make a cd from
teh image.

Well in our case, even if I added the images to our
server it wouldn't work since RH7.2 can't recognize
our NICs.
All right, I'll try again tomrrow and trouble you guys
again on the result =)

hi,
I changed resolution and should restart X server for the changes to take effects.I don't know how to restart X server except rebooting the computer.Some users have connected to the server,and rebooting will cause some trouble.
How to restart X server without rebooting.
Thank you very much

Look at your /etc/inittab, some linux may restart
x-server with: crtl+alt+backspace
If not, ps aux | grep X may show you the PID of your X
server.
You can kill it with: kill -9 PID
Cheers

Subject: Help! My disk is full!

Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="gb2312"
Hello, Guys,
It is so strange that my hard disk is full in a very short time. Almost 30GB+ space is consumed in a few hour.
I checked the disk using command df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 7052496 2858552 3835696 43% /
/dev/sda1 101089 15076 80794 16% /boot
/dev/sda6 60989924 56854996 1036796 99% /home
none 2065448 0 2065448 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda5 396623 70972 305170 19% /var
The /home is occupied nealy 100%. (I deleted some files just now.)
Then I checked the directory /home/cadmin using du --max-depth=1 .
16 ./.kde
4 ./.gconfd
236 ./.gconf
712 ./license
28 ./.gnome
56 ./.gnome2
4 ./.gnome2_private
20 ./.nautilus
12 ./.gnome-desktop
28 ./.metacity
35445700 .
I was so curious and deleted the directory /home/cadmin. But the space is still almost full.
The system is Redhat 8.0, Kernel is 2.4.18-3bigmem.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Just to let you all know that we resolved the problem - found the
additional space, partitioned it and created a new file system. Things
are working fine.
And we've done screen prints of all these instructions and put them in
our documentation manual. ;-)

Ok guys, FC1 is live and running in our classroom, we
did it on my computer first for testing, it
autodetected everything, and managed to discover how
to get my DHCP, DNS, Proxy and well, everything I
needed for my college LAN, I have to say I love the
security on Linux.
Now we have a new bump, we need to conect to our
server which is running Windows 2003 Server wich has a
MSCHAP V.2 encryption, couldn't find any option in
Linux (so far) that allows me to connect to a Windows
server using this encryption mode.
I found out in the internet that Linux needs a patch
to allow this, but I'm wondering, since FC1 is a
Project and it's newer, does FC1 has this option
somewhere or do I have to do it on text mode?

Consider posting a link to the instructions you developed or even
posting them to the list to aid others.
