.... "where" is it freezing? do you see ANYTHING related to win2k
that it has taken control and is booting? or is it sticking under
grub's control? your config looks fine (without having fdisk
statistics, that is).

Thanks, it works this way.

I am trying to get connectivity to my Linux box which is on LAN at

has been tried out, including the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop" to

Linux box runs Red Hat 7.3, and Apache Web server is running. The
Test Page comes up at http://192.168.0.101/ . I have modified router
settings to accept connections from outside to port 80, and route it
to 192.168.0.101, which is the Linux box on the LAN. It does not
work, and I am stuck without a clue about what's going on for days and
days now. I can of course ping the Linux box (by its LAN IP, on the
LAN).
The router is a DLink DI-604 (which is also a wireless router). I
modified the "Virtual Server" settings to route connections to Linux
box. All Filters are disabled. Firewall (inside router) allows
traffic from all IPs from WAN (outside LAN) through port 80 to Linux
box (identified by its LAN IP). The DLink router gets its IP
dynamically. I have a cable modem.
Same error type occurs when I try to SSH to Linux box using my cable
modem's Internet IP, when for example I use PuTTy. Just as the same
happens with FTP'ing.
Still doesn't work. Please help! |

(Presumably not the notorious rms.)
Do you want to set up a new network, or join an existing network?
The standard PCMCIA cards for Linux are the Orinoco 802.11b card(s) from
Lucent/Agere/Proxim and the various Prism cards that use the drivers from
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ .
You should install the wireless-tools .deb package (and read the
documentation therein) and edit /etc/network/interfaces (or, alternatively,
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts and /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts). There is a
linux-wlan-ng .deb for Debian testing and unstable, but not for woody.

thanks everybody for your responses.

| Quote: | It's on cd3, kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk.rpm. The most likely reason it
isn't showing up in the gui rpm installer is it's already installed on your
system, it only shows packages that have not been installed. The sources
are installed in /usr/src/linux/. The kernel sources got installed on your
system if you installed the development packages.
|
No, actually, I didn't have any /usr/src/linux, the first thing I
checked ;-)
Anyway, I tossed the installation and reinstalled Mandrake from
scratch, but this time using the netinstaller boot floppy.
I used ftp.planetmirror.com (Australian mirror) and that showed the
kernel sources in the package manager interface. Took about two hours
to reinstall the whole system and now everything I need is there.
So, my advice to everyone out there with broadband internet wanting to
install Mandrake would be
- don't waste your time with CD burning, do an ftp installation
1) download the first CD only
2) mount the ISO image and copy the netinstall.img to create a boot
floppy
3) boot from the floppy and point the installer to a nearby ftp site
that's a lot better than fiddling with CDs where the installer seems
to be confused about what packages are on what CD, then not showing
you all the available packages.
thanks again

Did you install the kernel-source? If not then urpmi kernel-source should
install it.

Skip that. If you are into net-installs then you have to try Bonxai Linux (aka
mini-woody). :)

How long did it take for you to install mandrake from the net?

Windows 2000 started loading, and the white graphical screen with the

It locked solid at about 5/8ths of the way across.
This happens everytime after a warm reboot, and never after a cold reboot.

..... well, now that we know windows has control of the booting,
i'd say it's a winders issue. i cnat think of why it is happening.

There MUST be a name for this phenomenon:
1) Spend hours looking for the solution to a petty but frustrating problem.
2) Give up and post a question to the newsgroups.
3) Just for the heck of it do a couple more searches
4) BAM -- there's the answer staring you in the face.
I found a discussion group thread that suggested changing

to...

.... which I did, and it worked like a charm.

Any movement of the mouse in any direction simply results in the pointer moving back and forth along the horizontal axis. The mouse in an HP-branded
MS Mouse-compatible, and I selected Option 1 (for MS Mouse-compatible) in xf86config.
Does anyone have a clue where I blew it?

Don't feel too bad. I had a mouse/X problem once where the pointer kept
drifting around. I swapped the mouse for one from another computer and got
a similar problem (but not exactly the same).
The eventual result? Mouse no.1 was old and worn out; mouse no.2 needed a
different protocol in the X configuration. |

I had that problem once. What fixed it was running "fdisk /mbr" using the
*Windows* fdisk (the one you get on a Win 98 boot disk, for instance). This
rewrote the master boot record on the hard drive (which a Windows
installation had done proprietary things to).

Why would anyone want to download a 650MB iso to get a 1.44MB disk image
when I can get the image off the distribution tree I am going to do the
ftp install from.
