Instead of changing the "boot= " thingy to point to the MBR, let it remain in the boot sector of the partition. Use fdisk (from Linux or Win98 - your choice) to set the Linux partition active, instead of the Win98 partition. This way, Win98 will be happy with it's place in the MBR and in case anything happens to lilo, you can always set the Win98 partition active to be able to directly boot into Windows till you fix lilo. Hope you don't forget to add the lines: other=/dev/hdxn label=Windows in lilo.conf to enable dual-booting! n is the number of the Windows C: drive as reported by fdisk in Linux. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com mailme(a)tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

Hi, I've been trying to compile Nautilus with Mozilla support built in. I built Mozilla 0.9.7 from source and compiled it OK. Nautilus also built OK. But when I try to view a HTML file in Nautilus it says "The Web Page View encountered an error starting and can't continue" As a more generic query... doesn't Natilus dump status messages anyhere? Or have an option to display less Windows-like error messages? Regards, Vinay

Compile problem for PHP with PostgreSQL
by Dinesh Shah 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Hi All, I have strange problem. I am not able to compile Postgres support into PHP4.0.4pl1. I have compiled PostgreSQL 7.1.3. My system is Slackware 8.0 with Linux kernel 2.4.17. If I try to compile pgsql support statically into PHP module, this module refuses to load in to Apache (1.3.20). If I compile pgsql support as shared lib for php module it does not load and logs this warning PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'pgsql.so' - pgsql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHP module loads ok in Apache but I don't get pgsql support. I have tried every thing. Even searched on PHP's mailing lists and tried all the solutions posted there... Pls help... TIA With regards, -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Shah Micro System dinesh(a)indiamail.com http://dineshah.tripod.com Mobile: 98213-11906

Red Hat 7.2 Installation: Partitioning?????
by Vikram .. 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

HI EVERYBODY, Here is a very basic question (but I am really stuck!! :| ) I have been trying to install red hat 7.2 on a win98 machine. Everything goes fine until the partitioning screen comes up. I have a hdd of 37 gb and I have repartitioned it to 27+10 with FIPS and want to use the new 10 GB partition (win95 FAT32) for linux. When I choose automatic partitioning screen, it declines to do that (space not available). Next when I come to the manual partioning screen, I cant proceed their either. When I select the hard drive partition of my choice and try to add new partitions (root, swap and boot), I get the same errors, space not available. And it woulnd't let me proceed. Once I have done partitionless install with linux 7.0 on the same machine without having hard drive partitioned by fips. And it worked fine. Unfortunately, as it seems, Red Hat 7.2 doesnt support partitionless installations. Any comments, suggestions, advises, must do's, undo's??????????

CD ROM problems Kernel 2.4.7-10
by Anand Iyer 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

I recently installed RH7.2 using Seascope disks. Initially due to non availability of GLIBC (proper version ) on CD 1 of 2, only a minimal install was possible. Later on I loaded the RPM's one by one. My CDROm drive Samsung CD writer RW 8.4.32 is recognised by the kernel, but when i try to mount the CDROm, I get a message /dev/cdrom improper device or device does not exist. I have the following line in lilo.conf append="hdc=ide-scsi" This used to work and still works on Caldera with kernel 2.4.2 (PCQuest CD's)loaded in another partition. My creative infra CDROM has conked off so this is the only drive currently available with me. The CDROM is shown when the system boots up after Lilo in RH7.2 Any ideas in getting it working. Regards Anand
