Unless the install was >particularly hard first time round, I don't think his idea is all that mad. Actually I agree, but since I'm trying to learn about Linux this seems a very Windoweez way of going about it. Something don't work? Reinstall the entire operating system! But I take your point. Of more concern was my distinct impression that the suse tech, while a VERY nice guy, seemed a bit lost. For example, not once did he ask me for the output of ifconfig. For example. It is: LInk encap:Local Loopback inet addr: 127.0.0.1 mask: 255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU: 16436 metric:1 RX packets: 54 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX Packets: 54 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX Bytes: 3784 TX Bytes: 3784 >The other respondents could help you more than I can with the rest, I think. >Hope the problem is solving itself by now, Not at all.

Chroot of Bind 9
by Shonne Beavers 02 May '02

02 May '02

I have Bind 9 running, but it does not start on boot-up. SuSE 7.2 Pro is the OS. Is there a similar chkconfig on Redhat. Any suggestions. I have to start it manually with rcnamed start. I can post the rcnamed string if need be.

LILO: I cannot understand..
by Alessio Isaja 02 May '02

02 May '02

Erhm.. It's a silly question, but I cannot understand where I am worong.. My partitions are so composed: -1 winXp (ntfs) -2 store (fat32) -3 linux (ext3) -4 ext -5 win2k (ntfs) -6 linux swap I'm used to use XOSL to load OS, but when I installed suSE 7.3 instead of Slackware (at the same partition) I cannot install LILO to the ROOT partition. I don't know what happens.. It was working before, I could say to XOSL to boot Linux with its own LILO but now I cannot "write" LILO in the root partition, but ONLY in the MBR. Can anyone explain me? Thank you very much..It's driving me crazy.. Ciao, alessio
