The groupware is finally up
by himanshu＠linuxfreemail.com 12 Aug '02

12 Aug '02

Hi all, Finally, although a bit late, the groupware is up and running. Check it out at http://www.thefreespeech.org/collaborate/groupware. Since phpGroupware was way too large to fit (and without ssh access, it becomes all the more difficult), I've used PHProjekt (www.phprojekt.org), which according to me, is functionally competent, while taking up very little space in comparison. Initially, you may use the login/password of test/test (just to get a hang of it). Then we could either write a program that automatically creates logins, or let someone administer the whole process. Also, I've created two mailing lists, announce(a)thefreespeech.org and linuxers(a)thefreespeech.org. I guess we are now all set to implement the PRC.

I did it mainly because I used to frequently update kernels... it doesn't make too much sense to write the bootsector somewhere else, dd it to a file, copy it to the windoze partition etc. every time. If you do it only once, during installation, then of course it amounts to the same thing, and my method is probably more more roundabout.

RH Linux not overwriting MBR.
by Nikhil Karkera 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

Have 2 HDDs: Master: 4 Gb [hda] Slave: 32 Gb [hdb] (is 40 Gb, but my BIOS treats it as 32 Gb) Windows C: on hda. It has 2 more windows partitions. For hdb the partitions are as follows: hdb1 - Windows hdb2: hdb5, hdb6.... <10 partitions>. All Windows. hdb3 - Linux native, mount point / - 10Gb hdb4 - Linux swap - 200 Mb It goes through the entire installation process, and asks me to reboot. But then directly boots into Windows. Tried Lilo & Grub. I explicitly asked to overwrite MBR during installation. Haven't tried with boot disk. Damn those floppies. All turned up with bad sectors :) Tried RH Linux 7.2 & 5.0. Any way out? Warm regards, Nikhil.

Intel motherboard BIOS upgrade causing GRUB failure on RedHat 7.3 Linux boot
by B. J. Ram Rao 31 Jul '02

31 Jul '02

I built a desktop using the Intel D850MV motherboard with a Pentium 4/1.60 GHz CPU and 256MB RDRAM (4 x 64MB/PC600 RIMM cards). The desktop board came with BIOS version P05 (MV85010A.86A.0011.P05.0111141737) preinstalled. I installed two Seagate ST340810A 40-GB hard drives. The primary master drive had a Windows 95 (LBA) partition for Windows Me, and the primary slave drive was partitioned into 10GB EXT3 for Linux and 30GB for Windows Me. The bootloader was GRUB 0.91, for switching between a RedHat 7.3 boot and a Windows Me boot. Everything (RedHat 7.3 and Windows Me)worked perfectly.
