No fedora
by terry
Hello,
I have tried to get FC1 installed. I have a K6 with 512 MB memeory.
RH9 installed flawlessly. I have the 3 iso files on my hard drive. I d/l
disc1 of FD1 in hopes of having it start from the CD and then install
from the HD. I have 1/2 of a 60 G hd i want to use for FC1 with XP on
the other half. RH9 is on a 120 Gig unit. MD5SUMs are correct yet it
doesn't boot from the CD and bios is set to check the CD first. Isolinux
I can see from a listing of the files on the disk.
Any suggestions?
Additionally how does one see the files on the CD in linux? I can read
the disk in XP.
Thank you,
Terry Linn

Problems with FC1: v1.91 (Test Release 2)
by Dan Thurman
Hi Folks,
I have selected the "Server" install package and selected "everything"
and everything
seems to go fine. However, when I got to the 4th CD I noticed that
there was a
problem with the install where it started miss-reading the install
packages at the
last 10 minutes (of 135+ minutes of a complete install) and I had a
helluva time
trying to force re-reads and retries until all the packages were finally
installed.
That added 30 minutes more and approx. 20 packages that had to be
retried.
But the installation did complete and finally was ready for a reboot.
NOTE: Nowhere in the installation was an emergency diskette asked!!!
Now a reboot commenced and then Grub came up interactive (no splash
screen,
no kernel preconfigured). Dang.... Now what!?!?
This is unlike Redhat where the Grub splashscreen comes up and
has the kernel information already installed. Is this normal???
Help please...
Best regards,
Dan

From RH 9.1 to Fedora
by Rodrigo Martin Santos
Hello, my name is Rodrigo. I have installed RH 9.1 last June and since
then kept it updated through RH Network Alert. Now the desktop
distribution from RH is ended and the natural way to go on seems to be
with Fedora Project. How can I do to move to Fedora without uninstalling
RH? I have configured and personalized the PC through all these months
and I do not want to lose all this work. I have read the site in RH and
Fedora but I can't find a smoth path to change it.
Yours,
Rodrigo

A reboot user
by WipeOut
Hi,
I have a colocated server and when I have to get them to reboot it they
just hit the power switch which can't be good for filesystems and
databases..
Is there a way I can create a user account that will reboot the server
on login?
This way I can give them a user account and they simply login with that
account and it reboots the server..
I am guessing I need to create a login script or something similar but I
am not sure how to get the system to execute the script at login if that
is the way to do it..
Thnaks..

Xfree86 and KVM
by ed
Just had a strange problem.
One of my systems (system 3) om my KVM suddenly hung with no mouse. I
rebooted and X would not start because it could not detect my mouse (MS
Intelimouse). I switched to another mouse (direct attach) and everything
seemed to work fine. Whenever I attached my mouse to my KVM (Linkss
4-port) it would hang.
Since I had port 4 empty, I reassigned my system to port 4 and now
everything works fine.
Is there any way I can fix port 3? Or is this just an anomally?

RE: disk problems or false alarm??
by Guolin Cheng
Hi, William,
Thanks.
Then how to increase PCI IDE disk speed through adjusting PCI bus
speed? What I've said is: even I tried to improve PCI bus speed by
specifying "idebus=66", the sustainable PCI IDE disk data transfer speed
is still about 33MB/s, while the hard disks themselves may be capable of
providing higher speed. Thanks.
I definitely know apple and orange, both fruits are my favorite. :)

You are comparing apples to oranges. idebus is the PCI speed in Mhz.
33MB/s is the bandwidth of the PCI bus.

Changing files in a bootable ISO
by Ow Mun Heng
Hi Guys,
Need some help. I downloaded an ISO (ultimatebootcd)
but some of the items there are either not working or outdated.
I've Dl'ed some of the updates (img files) and I want to substitute
those with the ones currently in the ISO and then burn them into a
new CD.
Is this possible??
mount -t loop /path/to/iso /mnt/iso

Cheers, .^.

md5sum on Windows NT?
by J.L. Coenders
Does anyone know if you can verify transfered files from a Linux workstation
to a Windows NT workstation with md5sum?
Or a similar program which works on both?
Thanks,
