Proxy restrictions
by shahazad＠linuxplanet.nu 06 Sep '01

06 Sep '01

Hi guys, recently in my company the sys admin has setup a squid proxy which is now restricting me to access yahoo messnger & other services like ftp, telnet etc. it is only allowing http on 8080. before my network didnt have a proxy & all requests were going to the router so i could directly ping or telnet any server as if i was directly connected to the net. but now as i am behind a proxy i cannot use any service like telnet or ftp .. & if i telnet to my local proxy & verify my login it logs me in but as no shell is provided i get disconnected .. basically all this is done so that we dont waste the bandwidth or misuse it... huh .. now what i want to do is i want to run yahoo messenger/icq, telnet, ftp .. i have used Kiwibox for chat but i want to connect through my usual yahoo messger/icq ..so how do i go about it ...? my office proxy is --> Squid/2.3.STABLE4 .. I am also unable to check my other POP3's except my official one .. so is there any way .. i could some how tweak or do something to enjoy these services .. ;-) Thanx in advance cheers~ </shahazad> -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su

WinME *does not* have a real DOS mode, so LILO can't take you there. Your best bet now is to get a DOS/Win9x bootable floppy from somewhere and boot from it. Then you can get real DOS mode.

lilo.conf settings
by Rama Prasad 05 Sep '01

05 Sep '01

Hello! I need small information about lilo.conf file... In our systems we have two partitions of hard disk, one is win'2000 and linux 6.2.. while booting lilo file it will ask two options (linux/dos) In one system we observed that there is no paswd setting in lilo.conf file. But still while booting into linux single, it is asking passwd. Using root authentication, when I opened that /etc/lilo.conf file I observed that there is no passwd setting in lilo.conf. I want to know is there any file other than lilo.conf where i can set the passwd & prevent "linux single" access. ===== Bye,With best regards,-Ramaprasad.M.K.My other e-mail addresses according to the order of preference.mkr_prasad@yahoo.co.in,prasad74@rediffmail.com

installing win after installing linux
by noel seq 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Hi guys, I have installed RHL7.1 on my 8gb hdd with 6gb for linux and 2gb for win95/98. Now that i have completed the installation, how do i get to the 2gb partition which i have set aside and install win95/98. I can see the partition from linux as fat 16. But booting from floppy does not show this partition and i cannot even access it. Fdisk in dos (floppy boot) shows 8gb as a single partition while fdisk in linux shows all my partition /boot, swap, /root and fat16. I have not even formatted the fat16 partition. Can i format it as fat16 from linux? then probably i can install win95/98 and create a label in lilo. Anybody gone through this path before ? Regards, Noel.

> win95/98. Now that i have completed the installation, how do > i get to the > 2gb partition which i have set aside and install win95/98. I Is this partition the *first* Primary partition? DOS recognizes only the first primary partition (don't know why does it not recognize the others) and also this partition needs to be set as the active partition. Also keep in mind that your LILO will be overwritten after Windoze 9x installs itself, so make a Linux bootable floppy before hand and/or copy the vmlinuz file on your Windoze partition. You can use loadlin.exe later to boot into Linux.

GIMP tutorials
by Anand 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Hello List members, I am happy to tell you that the first set of GIMP tutorials named GIMP-Jr.K.G is ready. This set is meant for absolute beginners. The next set of tutorials is also being formed. The effects that these tutorials have given are very-very encouraging.* GIMP-JR.K.G.* This set of tutorials gives information on how to use the basic tools available with GIMP. Usage of Rectangular selection, Fuzzy Selection, Blend, Fill, pattern fill and other such tools are covered. Usage of Some Filters and Script-Fu's are also covered. Creating your own brush and patterns is also dealt with. This is a set of ten tutorials where each and every step has been covered and allows even beginners to easily use the GIMP software. Total size :45 MB. * Karnala-GIMP* (partially over, text formatting, tutorial checks under progress.) Did you know that using simple Script-Fu's of GIMP, you can make more than a billion different web themes!!! This second set of tutorials focuses on how the tools available with GIMP can be used to make powerful web themes in a short span of time. Some 25 exclusive, photographs of Karnala, Monkeys and karnala surroundings, form the base of the presentation tutorials. Topics covered include: Easy creation of several types of custom buttons, headers, banners, arrows and bullets. Easy creation of Image maps using the ImageMap filter. Making custom buttons. Web Presentations. Complete set of HTML and JavaScript codes used in the pages of the tutorials. Total Size 68 MB. Time taken for these tutorials are around three months in total. Plus some expenses, have been incurred. I am looking for some compensation for these tutorials so that I end up at least in a no-loss/no-profit situation. I doubt weather magazines may be interested in publishing tutorials for a non-commercial software like GIMP. Anyway, I plan to approach them. Any other ideas are also welcome. Anand
