Re: Redhat 8 install problem
That seems to be the case, but the fact is that Lokkit doesn't call your configuration onto the form. Yes, it's stupid, but no, it's not ignoring you entirely. And BTW, you need to run "/etc/init.d/iptables restart" or "service iptables restart" to make your Lokkit changes take effect.

RE: RedHat 8.0 and TNT2 Ultra
I've had the dubious pleasure of doing this at least six times now. Here are "David Willson's Instructions for the Ridiculously Impatient". Yes, you actually DO have to do all this. - Install the kernel-source, if you haven't already. 'rpm -Uvh /somewhere/RedHat/rpms/kernel-source-something.rpm' - Do a complete up2date, if you haven't already. 'up2date --update --force' - Download the kernel driver src.rpm and the GLX driver src.rpm from nVidia's website. - Build the binary version of each file with something like 'rpmbuild --rebuild ~/blah.src.rpm' Take note of the location of the binaries as you build them! It's given in the output. - Install the binary rpms. 'rpm -Uvh kernel.rpm' 'rpm -Uvh glx.rpm' - Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config to make three changes: - In the 'Section "Module"' section, pound (#) out 'Load "dri"' and 'Load "GLcore"'. - In the same section, add 'Load "glx"', if it's not already there. - In the 'Section "Device"' section, change the name of driver from "nv" or "VESA" or whatever to "nvidia" David Willson MCT, MCSE, Network+, A+, Linux Enthusiast http://TheGeek.NU -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mr. Adam ALLEN Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RedHat 8.0 and TNT2 Ultra On Fri, 2002-11-15 at 18:59, Sylvain Jodoin wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to Linux and just installed RH 8.0 Personal Desktop to learn > and play with it.

If you haven't downloaded the drivers from nVidia's site, then that's the first job. There's two files, a GLX file and a Kernel file. nVidia pre-compile the drivers, so you either need to match the kernel you are running (probably 2.4.18), or you can download 'generic' files which you can rebuild - each time you upgrade the kernel you will need to reinstall the drivers for the graphic card. My personal choice would be the GLX SOURCE RPM and KERNEL SOURCE RPM. (I'd keep these on the machine in a handy location for future use). Follow the instructions, rpmbuild --rebuild the docs will say rpm --rebuild Then you may need to change /etc/X11/XF86Config, as directed in the readme file from nVidia's page. Hopefully this points you in the right direction. -- NAME: Adam Allen.

Hmm, I guess a car manufacturer could just switch the brake and gas pedal around. The car would still work, but it would just behave a bit differently for those who didn't know about the change. Yeah, we know what's going on now with the prompt, but it doesn't mean it's not screwed up. Anyhow if you want to take the attitude that Psyche is great and the users need to read more manuals before attempting to use it then fine. Mike Harris wrote: Why? You're doing something that is inherently broken. If you slow everything down so that it is visible, you will see "hello" displayed, then see the program return to bash, which displays the prompt. The prompt overwrites the line because there was no trailing newline. Go ahead and miss Psyche.

RE: Good RedHat 8.0 Books
Strategy: Buying books on 8.0 will cost you a mint, buy books on 7.2 or 7.3 and you'll learn what you want to learn for less money. That being said, I have used "The Complete Reference..." from Osborne, the "Unleashed" title, and the aforementioned online docs. For reference, they're OK, but as linear-learning tools, they suck. If you're still in 'linear' mode, but it sound's like you're not, try www.course.com. Good stuph there.

Demand-dial Router?
I am trying to turn a Red Hat Linux 8.0 box into a demand-dial router (+NAT). I have run into several holes in my knowledge: How do I make 'ppp1' the default route before it's even up, and/or how do I make it demand-dial? How do I insure that - the nat module is inserted - the 'MASQUERADE' rule is inserted - and forwarding is turned on at boot time without intervention?
