That's funny. I guess that bootnet image at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/images/ must be a mistake then, huh? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/24/2003 1:10:25 AM >>> There is no longer a bootnet image there is the vanilla one and some driver ones depending on what hardware you are using will depend on what driver disks you need Dennis On Monday 23 June 2003 11:25 pm, Dan Dobbs wrote: > You need to use the bootnet image (instead of the vanilla 'boot' image), > so it will give you the network install options. > > -dd > -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

This is the network route for the loopback interface {lo0}, it must
exist or your machine can not run.
0.0.0.0 172.16.0.4 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0
This is your default route also known as your "gateway", if you want to
connect to the internet you must have a "gateway".
The ok routes are obviously 2, 4 & 5. The other two come back all the time!

I think that if you are having connectivity problems it is because you
are not using "publicly routable" ip addresses.
Below you will see that all ip addresses from 172.16.0.0 -

Re: More on /etc/aliases forwarding wrong user
This may be simple.
I will guess that you have put otherdomain.dom in your
/etc/mail/local-host-names file.
If you added {IIRC} a Cwotherdomain.dom to your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf,
this would explain it as well.
If you are not using sendmail, I can't help you. I work for a large ISP

Guy,
You are the man! I knew it had to be something stupid that I did on
initial setup, and it certainly was. /etc/mail/local-host-names had the
otherdomain.dom listed in it. I fixed it and now everything seems to be
right as rain!

OK John, I'm an honours graduate bin ENGLISH< from an english uni too. I'm an expert on English. Dear Boy, I don't know what is "meaningful" to you, I don't know you. If you write that kind of thing to newbies it puts them off, hurts their feeling and you'll have lost another convert to Linux, is that what you want? What you call "netiqutte"demands one uses topic and task specific questions, ala REDHAT documentation conventions which stop me from getting the hang of things. It has some 4200 commands, do you imagine people can "meaningfully" stuff that between the ears on just reading a doc file? by "meaning" you mean what you know. Agreed that's what I am trying to grok. Meaning is the wrong word, you mean Redhat definitions of terms and its ways of doing things. What stops me is that I am a newbie to REDHAT jargon, which you know rather well, and I not at all. I am not a newbie in several other areas, linguistics one of them. IE I don't grok any of the REDHAT jargon and actions inside REDHAT, you do. I gave the explanation in the first newbie post to anaconda, but that seems to get some huff going and talk about MY english, when I complained about yours being - as in Alice in Wonderland - inpenetrable TO ME. That does not measn I'm stupid, because I know what causes this. The style of the handbooks. WHY Billy Gates is pop is because he does it so one needs no computer jargon. Redhat works ONLY with computer jargon. It's like learning a foreign language which I know quite well how to do, but in the case of REDHAT them rules don't work because computers are morons. In order to get meanings across to newbies DON'T use jargon FAMILIAR to you, newbies don't grok that, and which fills up FAQs and lists and helpfiles. Find some metaphor, image, slang phrase, whatever but NOT jargon to explain Jargon. I used to teach DOS and programmers got the horrors and the students liked it. I have friends expert on software design and hardware and we communicate rather well. It's just that they are very busy filling orders. If you block things they don't get through.

Re: newbie
Is that what the "WELcome" means in Linux, do it? Charming way to be made to feel welcome. You demand I understand you, but the compliment is not returned. Is that what happens when one gives FEEDBACK, mentioned in every doc? I read the intro to anaconda on redhat and NOW I get what is MADE conventional to the anaconda list. Did I use any rude words or did you mean not stepping on your toes, pardom me? OR paying deference to you? HOW well do you know me? SYNOPSIS: ALL languages, cultures, specialised jargon, math, computerese are CLOSED systems in which every word is explained by every other words INSIDE that system. That's also why win and RH don't interact too well without a translator installed with mount. "mount" usually means "climb" but not in Linix. FI BUG in Windows means the PC hangs and in Linux it means it don't work as well as it can, so fix it. BUG in computerese derives from Eniac when a bug caused a short in the battery of glass radio bulbs, by metaphoric extension of "you bug me". BUG is slang, not proper English, which calls them insects. Now who will HELP me with MY problem, you've been pretty loud about yours. My currently main neurosis with Red Hat right now is which order does one do things to customise. 1st one makes directories, then subdirectories and after that mounts certain packages, -programs, etc to me - now HOW does one MOUNT - which does not mean sit on the Monitor. I've read the white handbook and all the docs on the frisbie and there one finds TOPICAL help but not in wuyhich order to proceed. The reason for that I explained before, it's the style and convention of use in writing docs. Adrian. - Original Message - From: "Robert P. J.

Re: Hi (response to red hat list comments)
DO I reply to psyche or your address? pliz reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and wipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] OFF Sure, Had several problems installing REDHAT, but finally managed to get to gnome. In gnome I try to get customised, YEAH IRTDD, which is topic and task specific. Cannot get gnome to let me customise obviously because I don't know the order of doing this, which is not explained in docs or white book or on frisbie. I now want to set up in biz, which, for me, needs email ISP to surf, where tyo poke files, etc and how to get Nautilus, and whatever other guis around to gawp at to decide which lot I want. When I logout it tells me it won't save what I tried, and >GG> maybe just as well. I cannot get past gnome, it asks for all manner of things I don't understand the jargon of and reading help and info does not work as I don't know which task specific items to do in which order. It also cannot read the sound card nor the PCI USB on the Motherboard. For test sound one gets zilch. Not that I mind too much about that. Which details do you need? It won't recognise the WINlucent #2 - Agere - other than as a default "genetic" which loses the fax and voice features, so I'll probably get another Modem, I suppose. I have winsleaze v 98.2.4 An Asrock g-pro Mboard at Intel 1800 MHZ, use bootloader GRUB. Cannot update to get errata and RH 9.0 going. I managed to make a usr dir in /bin, now what? I also got an utterly charming welcome on Anaconda - got my head bitten off - as the learned gentlemen imagine they are the only ones whose "english" is kosher. They jump into the usual ingrown toenail prejudices that if THEY don't understand it, it MUST be nonsense and I'm to blame, haha. But that's mere trivia but done since RH asks for feedback.

Nautilus is the prefered > file manager for GNOME. Konqueror is the file manager (and web browser) for KDE (another fine desktop environment). Depending on how you are logging into your session - you may choose GNOME or KDE - or even another window manager (blackbox, IceWM, etc). Regardless, applications written for GNOME or KDE may work while under either desktop but the menus may not show them. > > Try this trick I showed my daughters. Press the key combination Alt-F2 (the alt key > and F2 function key) and a "mini-CLI" or dialog box called "Run Program" should appear. Mini-CLI is KDE jargon for Miniature Command Line Interface (clever but annoying). Type in the word "Nautilus" [without the quotes] and press Enter. Spelling, spacing and capitalization count. Nautilus should appear (albeit slowly). You can do the same by pressing Alt-F2 and typing the word "Konqueror". However, you would have to have chosen the KDE desktop to install during the install phase of Red Hat for this to work. > > Now, if you haven't created a user for yourself then please do not use root. > Instead, start a session using root, create the user [adduser "name"], log out as root, and then log in as the new user you just created.

Since your email states Outlook then I'm assuming you have an available and working MS Windows machine.

A simple question on mouse
Hi all folks, USB Optical mouse = After booting up the PC the captioned mouse has not been detected. What command line shall be used to activate it instead of to reboot the PC?
