    Wrong Major or Minor number error message when mounting Floppy Drive

    Looks like you are trying to change the mount options from those in fstab. Since /mnt/floppy is defined in fstab the correct command should be: mount /mnt/floppy Mount should automatically adjust to the type of file system found on the disk in the drive. <p>Michael Regan<br><a...

    linux platform servers...?

    This is what I would use:<br>Database - MySQL or Oracle<br>Web server - Apache<br>Mail Server - qmail<br>ftp server - proftpd<br><br>I wouldn't run an application server on a web site and I am not sure what you mean by transaction server.<br><br> <p>Michael Regan<br><a...

    Server won't espond to remote requests unless local workstation on.

    Just off the top of my head I would something is blocking inetd. It would seem to be the only thing in common to all the services you mentioned.<br><br>If something is causing inetd to continually respawn when the workstation is off you might get this problem, similar to a denial of service...

    LINUX NETWORKING

    Check out <A HREF="http://www.e-smith.org" TARGET="_new">www.e-smith.org</A>. They have a VERY nice program that will do much of what you want. It installs automatically and is administered from your web browser.<br><br>However, I agree with the previous post. You are really going to need a...

    Opening FTP to Public Uploads

    You didn't mention what ftp server you were running. proftpd has a config file in /etc/pam.d. Check their website for instructions on setting it up. It seems to be a bit more secure than wu-ftp. I will be switching to it for our machines. <p>Michael Regan<br><a...

    sound

    Sound support is still a problem. I am not sure of the chipset in the PCI512. If it is a newer chipset it is probably not supported. <br><br>When you recompiled the kernel, was the PCI512 mentioned or did you use the generic SoundBlaster module? As far as I know, the SoundBlaster module only for...

    Which first? (Win98, Windows 2000 Professional or Linux?)

    Check the discussion on the other &quot;Which first&quot; posting. Again if you are using LILO the &quot;boot&quot; files must be below the 1024 cylinder. You can put the rest of your Linux files anywhere else on the disk.<br><br>As for the partitions, it will depend on how you are using your...

    Which first? (Win98, NT, or Linux)

    If you are using LILO to boot your system you need to keep all the Linux &quot;boot&quot; files below the 1024 cylinder on the harddrive. That should be around 8G, so your configuration might work. It is a bit dangerous, however, since one of the files might be saved above the 1024...

    Read the man page on 'faillog', it has the information you want. Th -m option sets the limits on failed logins.<br><br> <p>Michael Regan<br><a href=mailto:mregan@bccs-ca.com>mregan@bccs-ca.com</a><br><a href=http://www.bccs-ca.com/>Black Cat Computer Systems</a><br>Black Cat Computer Systems...

    X Windows Problem

    Check your colour depth and screen size for the memory error. With 1M of video RAM you probably want to stay with 640X480 or 800X600 and a colour depth of 8.<br><br>The overlay can also be due to the wrong Hor.Sync. - check your monitors manual for the correct values. <p>Michael Regan<br><a...

    Slow Netscape 4.7x performance?

    Booting Linux from boot ROM

    My I suggest getting a new boss.<br> <br> When you say &quot;diskless&quot; I assume you mean booting from a ROM, and not booting from a network server. If you do mean booting from a network, check the &quot;Diskless HowTo&quot;.<br> <br> I looked at designing a ROM based system last year but...

    Getting onto the internet w/ linux

    Unless they have changed it, Corel Linux supports the KDE desktop. Using the kppp dialer is &quot;dead easy&quot;. Just about everything you need to do is in the kppp setup tool.<br> <p>Michael Regan<br><a href=mailto:mregan@bccs-ca.com>mregan@bccs-ca.com</a><br><a...

    Linux & windows 98 on same box problem

    If you only get LI when you boot the first stage loader loaded the second stage loader but couldn't execute it. ( Thats right out of the book!) The most common cause is a geometry mismatch caused by moving one of the files LILO needs. (The book says boot.b but I have had the same problem when I...

    linux install

    LILO will usually tell you if it has a problem finding the files. The LILO displayed when it starts is part of the debugging script. If that is OK then LILO can find all the necessary files.<br> <br> You didn't say if you can boot to Win98. That would also indicate LILO is installed...

    DSL suggestions

    Two problems come to mind. First what &quot;flavour&quot; of DSL are you talking about? ADSL is asymetrical, hence the name. A rule of thumb is the speed towards the Internet is 30 percent of the speed to the customer. If you are browsing the Internet, this okay. However, this is not what you...

    failed boot, get

    Looks like goofed on the command for fixing the MBR. It should be FDISK /MBR. <p>Michael Regan<br><a href=mailto:mregan@bccs-ca.com>mregan@bccs-ca.com</a><br><a href=http://www.bccs-ca.com/>Black Cat Computer Systems</a><br>Black Cat Computer Systems build Linux servers and work<br> stations...

    failed boot, get

    Some times the old grey matter gets a little slow.<br> <br> If you are booting from a floppy you shouldn't be seeing the LILO message. Did you forget to set your BIOS to look at the floppy drive first? <p>Michael Regan<br><a href=mailto:mregan@bccs-ca.com>mregan@bccs-ca.com</a><br><a...

    failed boot, get

    I don't know why your emergency disk are failing unless you just copied you existing files onto the floppy and they were corrupted.<br> <br> The LI message means the first stage loader wasn't able to load the second stage loader. This usually means boot.b or the kernel has been moved without...
