<0> BenWah: you can also get Linux that you can launch from Windows which resides on a Windows drive too so you wouldn't have to mess with anything
<1> yea.. I want to get rid of Windows 98, its garbage
<0> you don't install the boot manager.. it's simpler than that...
<0> oh in that case, just install Linux on the whole drive
<1> and the computer is old and slow, so both running at the same time is out of the question
<0> I think you can get installers that boot from the cd
<0> while you're in Windows
<1> I want to install it on the whole drive but I have no Cdrom / floppy drive
<2> i have a hardware raid5. if i plan on expanding it later on, and want to resize a partition currently on the drive...what should i do to prepare for it now (installing OS)?
<3> where can i get the best distro on the earth and moon?
<1> darkwold: crux.nu
<1> zrunn: you say I don't need to install a boot manager, how do you suggest I get the computer to boot from the second partition that contains the Linux OS if I have no boot manager?
<3> no further question. thanks monkey
<1> hey i'm not a monkey
<0> I'm trying to think of how you could do it... can't you just put a cd rom drive in there to install it and then remove it later?
<3> can i change my nick now?
<1> no, i'm in a highschool with no resources in the middle of the Chinese jungle
<3> so please send my regard to all chinese gals there
<0> You might be able to resize your fat32 partition smaller, then install Linux with one of those Windows boot discs, install to the remaining space, remove windows and resize the Linux partition to fit the entire drive
<0> scottydo: I don't think you can resize a Linux partition using hardware raid 5 without wiping it first, right?
<0> although I'm not a Linux raid expert or anything
<0> but I don't think any preparing would make it easier later
<2> so LVM is primarily for just adding additional disks?
<1> I mean second partition.. only one HD here
<0> scottydo: yeah I'm pretty sure it can't resize a partition
<0> but I might be wrong and it will just see the filesystem as still being the original size, and then you can grow it to the new partition size
<0> but I still don't think any planning ahead would help
<0> it would be a good idea to try it and see what happens after you install so you know what to do later
<2> i just didn't know if im waisting my time making a LVM
<4> scottydo no you are not
<2> so i should stick all lvm partitions in a logical partition as well?
<0> as far as I understand it, you can concatenate partitions with it, so it means when you add a drive, you should be able to just make the volume take up that extra space easily.. but I might not understand it properly.. hopefully thug-n-me has used it and can explain it better
<2> all the examples, and i think what you are refering to is by expanding the volume to another drive
<2> but, i have increased the capacity of the same drive its on
<4> zrunn i did use it yes ...and thats what i did made the volume ... the create the extra partition i need (use all the available space ) done
<0> hopefully it works well with hardware raid 5 since that's already a layer of abstraction in itself
<0> I'm guessing it would be easier with software raid
<5> how do i know my linux distribution?
<5> how do i know my linux distribution
<6> miguel a) dont parrot b) have a look at your install media
<7> you ask the person who installed it.
<5> any command like 'version' or 'cat something'
<8> LadyByte, chmlib?
<8> LadyByte, chm?
<9> [chm] a M$ help file, or is-used-often, or extremely-useless
<10> supose i wann delete this entry "192.168.129.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0

<10> when i do "netstat -rn". how do i proceed?
<0> flush: route delete -net 192.168.129.0
<10> root@pr0h4x:/home/flush# route del -net 192.168.129.0
<10> SIOCDELRT: Invalid argument
<11> mornin
<10> helloww
<10> zrunn: ?
<11> how can I format hdd with ntfs partition from slackware 10.1 and convert it to ext2 ?
<6> ^Q^ i suggest you get some coffee to wake up
<0> flush sorry I don't know.. the linux route command is a pain
<2> ^q^> check out "mkfs"
<2> should be something like 'mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdX'
<12> bumbz
<13> i need a program on slackware who send popup messages on windows machine
<8> yeah, of course
<13> or how can i allert a windows machine who has firewall ?
<10> how do i remove an ip with a gateway, usin the route command
<8> flush, man route
<10> i cant, ive been awake for over 30 hours my brain dying
<13> flush: route del default gw [gw]
<10> niiiice

<10> 192.168.129.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0
<10> i want to give this destination a gateway wich would be 192.168.129.1
<13> flush: route add net 192.168.129.0/24 gw 192.168.129.1 dev eth0
<10> then remove the old entry with a 0.0.0.0 gateway, how would i do this cauz when i remove the 192.168.129.0 entry comletely, i cant add it back it says "network not reacheable'
<10> yeah ok thats fine but the other is still there
<10> 192.168.129.0 192.168.129.1 255.255.255.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0
<10> 192.168.129.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0
<10> how do i get rid of the second one now
<13> u can't remove that route !
<10> why not?
<9> because I don't like you
<10> lol
<10> i dont have that route on my mandrake box
<10> why would the other box need it
<13> route del 192.168.129.0 gw 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
<10> [root@h4xb0x flush]# route del 192.168.129.0 gw 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
<10> SIOCDELRT: No such process
<13> route del 192.168.129.0/24 gw 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
<10> shouldnt it be 192.168.129.0/24 ?
<13> srry
<10> kk
<10> root@pr0h4x:/home/flush# route del 192.168.129.0/24 gw 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
<10> route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route
<13> try this
<13> ifconfig eth[ethernet] netmask [netmask] down
<13> and route add net ....
<10> k lemme try i lost connection with ssh, gotta plug the screen into the box
<10> brb
<13> how can i send popup message a windows machine
<13> how can i send popup message to a windows machine
<10> dunno
<6> liviu24 i'm sure there's something for that in the samba package
<10> it says "Network is unreachable"
<10> its like when i get rid of the connection with the 0.0.0.0 netmask, i cant get it back
<0> flush: your ifconfig is wrong
<10> hows that
<0> fix the startup script that sets your ip address and netmask
<13> tojoe: i know samba has that thin but that windows machine has not instant messane
<10> wheres the startup script?
<10> in /etc/rc.d/rc.local ?
<0> I don't know sorry
<0> but I know it's not there
<10> ive put "ifconfig eth0 192.168.129.2 broadcast 192.168.129.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up"
<0> doesn't your distro provide you with a more simple way to set your ip address at boot?
<10> not sure man, its slackware 8.1
<0> I wouldn't write manual ifconfig commands into a local script
<10> i know i can run "netconfig"
<0> someone who runs Linux, please tell him how to do it
<10> but ive re-run netconfig and set all the settings i thought were right
<10> i was still in the same situation, stuck with 0.0.0.0
<0> weird.. something's not right though
<0> because it shouldn't be adding a route to 0.0.0.0
<10> i know its strange that 0.0.0.0 thing
<0> or ... a route to your local lan with the gateway of 0.0.0.0
<10> dunno wtf its doing there tough
<10> i have no 0.0.0.0 gateway here
<10> well theres one but its ppp0
<10> so wtf
<10> anyway be right back smoke time
<0> can I get into that box with ssh?
<10> you cant i think
<10> i dont know how to access this box from somewhere else than the box i use now
<0> I ran slackware before and I know I didn't do it that way
<10> i type ssh 192.168.129.2 and it logs
<10> i dont know how to give you access to this box
<10> i would
<10> brb
<0> ok
<0> flush: when you get back, paste what is in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
<0> and truncate rc.local to zero bytes
<7> Before Windows Update ran, and with time to spare, I was able to download and install ZDE, Firefox, Thunderbird, Flash Players, JRE, GAIM, and cygwin.
<0> was it a service pack?
<7> it's a brand new XP installation
<0> so it already had service pack 2?
<10> ok im rebooting the box so i get that connection back to life
<10> zrunn i think i can give you access im dumb
<0> just paste that file
<10> ssh to my box, the type "ssh 192.168.129.1" no?
<10> k wait its rebooting
<10> ok back to life
<10> i cant past that file here
<10> !paste
