ALUG5 travel from Colchester/Ipswich?
by Green J M K 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

Well, it seems that Adrian can't provide a lift from Essex uni anymore, so I'll have to bow out of attendance unless some kind person can provide transportation from Colchester or perhaps from Ipswich. Any offers?

ALUG5
by John Woodard 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

As it's only 1 week to go before ALUG 5 is upon us I wondered has anybody posted an announce message to the UK Linux newsgroups? Who is coming and what are you bringing? There is a map posted on the ALUG web site http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/meetings.html to help you find the hall. It might also be an idea if we could agree on IP addresses etc. before hand to save the normal ALUG tradition of a network frenzy for 50% of the meeting. :-) Cheers, BJ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Linux on a laptop: a request for help on Sunday
by John Woodard 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

I've got this Dell Latitude laptop PII366, 128MB RAM 4.6Gb hdd. I'm having trouble getting Linux on it due to its lack of CD-ROM drive. I have however got a PCMCIA external CD-ROM for it but I cannot get Linux to see the device at bootup. So far I've tried using the PCMCIA boot disk image that is supplied in the RH6.1 CD but despite finding the PCMCIA device (I know it accesses the CD drive because the damn thing spins up at the appropriate moment) no joy, I just get messages saying insert driver disk for the PCMCIA device and guess what the only drivers I've got are for Benevolent Bill's operating systems. I did think about dumping the install tree in the root of a DOS partition but when I tried that it wouldn't play ball throwing up about illegal characters in the file names such as <translation table> and such like? I'm bringing it on Sunday has anybody had any experience with this? If so I'd appreciate so help - it's definitely worth a beer to you.

SuSE/RedHat RPMS
by Green J M K 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Hi guys, Rather than torturing myself installing all the KDE Development tools, I am trying to locate the all-in-one package, KDK. I have only found KDK binary rpms for Suse 6.1/2, though. RedHat bins are no-where to be seen. So, is it safe to install and use the SuSE 6.1 rpm on a RedHat 6.0 system? Cheers, James.

Debian/Potato/Lilo/VMware problem
by Anthony_Sale＠proconassoc.co.uk 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Adam I run SuSE 6.2 on a laptop with NT. I use the NT boot manager and when I change my LILO configuration I get the same problem. This occurs because I keep forgetting to copy the boot sector from my LILO boot partition to a file that NT Loader can read. When I forget to to this I get exactly the same response as you (Lil-) from LILO. To save the boot sector to a file for NT I do the following dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/mnt/ntc/linux.cnt bs=512 count=1 Where /dev/hda3 is the partition LILO is booting from and /mnt/ntc/linux.cnt is the file in the root of the NT boot partition.

I recently installed VMware 2.0Beta to use my hda1 partition with win98 on.(the reason I did this is that 1.1.2 vmware's networking caused kernel problems) Anyway everything worked fine but after an apt-get update/upgrade in the past few days the boot loader has stopped working in the Virtual Machine Lilo outputs Lil- . Now my question is that when I did the apt-get update/upgrade I noticed that I downloaded a new lilo that replaced my boot loader now has this totally screwed my Lilo config and means that If I reboot my machine It won't work? If so how do I create the necessary rescue disks and prepare for the worst? If I run lilo now it claims that all is well even with the verbose options. Can somebody give me some pointers as to what the problem is? as this may be a problem with the VMware Beta, but of course I don't want to reboot my machine if it isn't.

Want a distribution?
by MJ Ray 19 Jan '00

I have in front of me single CDs from LinuxMall.com of TurboLinux 3.6, LinuxPro 5.4, SuSE Linux 6.2, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Slackware 7.0. I also have RedHat 6.1 which should return to me before too long and am lead to believe that more CDs may be on their way. If you want one of these, please email me and I'll post them out. Alternatively, if ALUG5 (would 2 or 3 organisers make themselves known to the list please?) is soon, I'll bring them along.
