RH Linux not overwriting MBR.
by Nikhil Karkera 03 Aug '02

03 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.

I have been through many of the Intel channel meets. They do give an impression even to dealers that their mobos are really high end. Unless you are talking server boards, everything else is plain hogwash. IMHO, Intel motherboards and even *Intel Chipsets* suck! My AMD K6-2 350 with a VIA chipset, does faster I/O than a Intel Pentium III with an Intel Chipset. I find Linux support for mobo's from manufacturers like ASUS and Gigabyte is great. Also they are much better than Intel ones in design. The only regret is that they hurt your pocket. -ahGive your Company an email address like ravi @ ravi-exports.com.

Philippines/Malaysia Open Source Hubs
by Frederick Noronha 02 Aug '02

02 Aug '02

Extracts from a note by Bala Pillai <bala(a)tamil.net> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Tamil Ants/Erumbugale, The most interactive open source/Linux community in our time zone/Asia springs out of the Philippines. Primarily because the Filipino psyche is a more secure psyche, a more self-confident pyche. Folks who are self-confident worry about the future less, and allocate more time diagnosing and solving problems rather than echoing and reechoing it. Filipinos are also more into sharing and online sharing - we should look to more symbiosis with them. Manila-based Miguel Paraz whom I have interacted with since 1996, is a key catalyst in the Filipino Linux community. http://www.q-linux.com is a good starting point to get a feel for the key Open Source catalysts in the Philippines. KL,Malaysia-based Dinesh who runs http://www.alphaque.com is another lead Open Source catalyst in our tmiezone. Do look for symbiosis opportunities there too.... I see lots of room for us to symbiosis together. For example, there is likely to be areas where we diagnosing, documenting, analysing, coding or publicising where there is over-duplication. If we coordinated ourselves and found out where our circles and priorities intersect , we could share this work and get fruits out faster. For your consideration. cheers../bala Bala Pillai <bala(a)tamil.net> Founder, Thamil Innaiyam (since 1995) http://www.tamil.net Founder, Malaysia.Net (since 1995) http://www.malaysia.net Founder, The Asia Pacific Internet Company (since 1995) http://www.apic.net Towards Wired Ants Mindhood: Click on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erumbugal Sydney, Australia Phone: + 61 2 9498 4852 Yahoo Instant Messenger: bala2pillai

Hi, Try and edit your /etc/inetd.conf file . Search for the imap and pop2 file and insert .120 so the final file looks as follows: pop-3 stream tcp nowait.120 root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d imap stream tcp nowait.120 root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd Restart inetd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart. This is to increase the default POP hits to 120 hits per sec for high load email servers. This helped us to resolve the same issue with redhat 6.2 in our office. Let us know if it helped.
