Hi all... So, the Linuxchix Alpha Site is up and (I think) ready for testing. It's currently living on the new server at one of my currently-unused other domains: http://www.osdi.org It will, of course, move to http://www.linuxchix.org when the alpha and beta testing stages are complete and I

Not sure exactly what you meant about the dos stuff, but here's the easiest way to copy a drive for use in an identical system without having to mess with ghost. Plug the blank drive in as hdb on the system you've got running. Format it. Then, cat /dev/hda > /dev/hdb. Of course, "this might ta

RE: [techtalk] laptops and drivers

I run Debian on my Compaq Armada and Mandrake on a Gateway Solo. They both work great. I think Linux handles the dynamic nature of a notebook much better than Windows. Jason -Original Message- From: Jill Cote [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 2:19 PM To: [EMA

Re: [techtalk] windoze-based distros

There is a very expensive route with Citrix but if not everyone needs a mixed environment, don't even look at it. Tarantella is working on their Linux stuff and is more reasonable than Citrix price-wise. And you can set up a linux session with an ASP at www.workspot.com. But, I also have used v

RE: [techtalk] windoze-based distros

VMware works fine under NT4 with no partitioning needed. That's the great thing about it. It's an entire virtual machine. It uses a large file as it's partition, and works great with sound and network support. I've run Debian and Mandrake under it, as well as Win98. Jason -Original Messa

[techtalk] linux mirroring

Hi, I have 2 computers exactly the same in hardware. After I installed linux RH6.1 with update kernel 2.2.14, I used GHOST dos program to create a mirror on a dos partition. I managed to put the mirror on the other computer using GHOST under dos , and at the first they seem to be identical, and th

Re: [techtalk] windoze-based distros

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Unfortunately I have to run NT 4.0 and am not in a position to go reformatting /partitioning, etc for a 'traditional' distro, so VMware doesn't seem appropriate. I thought Phatlinux might work, but that's only good for win95 and 98. WinLinux2000 (winlinux2

Hi Jill, I had a Compaq pressario laptop before my Dell Inspiron 7500. On both I was able to load and install RedHat and Mandrake. The Compaq had no probs with drivers but the Inspiron had a problem loading the audio driver only in Mandrake. That being said, it did finally recognize the audio

RE: [techtalk] windoze-based distros

Without something like VMWare, there is no other way to do it. VMWare works great. I use it to run Win98 when I'm in Linux to do somethings. I've also used it to test other Linux distros. Jason -Original Message- From: Lilly S. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2

Hello, I'm using Mandrake for Linux, I can boot from Windows 98 without restarting the computer using loadlin.exe, I just need to shutdown windows and I type "linux" at the DOS prompt. (maybe a shortcut with the right parameters would work) My file 'linux.bat' looks like that : loadlin vmlinuz r

Re: [techtalk] windoze-based distros

I've used Mandrake for Linux, and I should say, I'm not overly impressed. It just installs it in a directory under Windows, and then when you need to boot into that, the computer actually shuts down, and reboots into that. I didn't like that very much. VMWare is supposed to solve that problem, tho

Firewall is easy enough.  Lemme point you to the things that showed me how to do it:   http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/network/ipchains.html   You are using RH6.1, so I'm guessing your kernel is already compiled how it needs to be, so
