I would try keeping the 10 gig, put win98 on it, make it C:. Then use the 40 gig for linux, plus additional fat32.. for D: (install software/swap/temp files). You have more than 4 partitions since you can make extended partitions.
Otherwise,
hda1 - win98 (3 gig)
hda2 - extended (use diskdrake)
hda5 - D: (software)
hda6 - /
hda7 - /usr
hda8 - /home
There are lots of variations depending on your needs.. Typically you really only require win98 to be in the first partition. The rest is flexible. Note to the wise, do not use windows fdisk on your hard drive after installing linux. Always use diskdrake to do the partition work.

Can you just change the path for your compile session? Or is there a compile option for specifying the path? You probably already played with these ideas..

What version of XFree did you install during installation? Did you pick one that was not the default?
-
I'll check it out.. thanks!

Don't know if this may give you some clues, but check it out..

Mandrake-user,
What this means is..
/etc/fstab has entry for where to mount. Such as /mnt/cdrom2. If you want to mount at /mnt/dvd, then you must change /etc/fstab first!
1. Make a new folder /mnt/dvd.
2. Unmount /mnt/cdrom
umount /mnt/cdrom
3. Edit /etc/fstab. Find entry and change to /mnt/dvd.
4. Now remount..
mount -a
Basically what ramfree17 said, but I added step numbers :P

Did you get all the latest 9.1 updates and then try supermount? My floppy works fine..

You are my son and grandson, just makes you more evil! :P

I do not know the product. But have you tried running from a console and checking for startup message errors?

Haven't a clue, I installed my windows fonts and it all worked fine.. Might want to post a new topic on this problem so viewers who may know the answer gravitate toward it..
-
I don't even have the CD sources in my rpm sources database. I never got around to adding them in again.. whoops!

I use a cable modem for the past 6 years. No idea about dial up!!! Sorry!

hmmm, he did suggest the vi way.. ramfree, is everything ok in your brain?? :P
-
You probably just need to convert the carriage returns from windows to linux..
-
At the risk of giving you an easy answer, upgrading is probably not the best way to go. You might want to consider backing up any customizations and doing a fresh install.. or create a new /home and /whatever partition and do a fresh install there first (run 2 linux distros for a while). Test it out and bring over any customizations and then throw the old one away..

Have you tried switching the USB connections at the box?

Here's what man lilo says about the 40 40
BOOT ERRORSThe boot process takes place in two stages. The first stage loader is
a single sector, and is loaded by the BIOS or by the loader in the MBR.
It loads the multi-sector second stage loader, but is very space lim-
ited. When the first stage loader gets control, it types the letter
"L"; when it is ready to transfer control to the second stage loader it
types the letter "I". If any error occurs, like a disk read error, it
will put out a hexadecimil error code, and then it will re-try the
operation. All hex error codes are BIOS return values, except for the
lilo-generated 40, 99 and 9A. A partial list of error codes follows:
00 no error
01 invalid disk command
0A bad sector flag
0B bad track flag
20 controller failure
40 seek failure (BIOS)
40 cylinder>1023 (LILO)
99 invalid second stage index sector (LILO)
9A no second stage loader signature (LILO)
AA drive not ready
FF sense operation failed
Error code 40 is generated by the BIOS, or by LILO during the conver-
sion of a linear (24-bit) disk address to a geometric (C:H:S) address.
On older systems which do not support lba32 (32-bit) addressing, this
error may also be generated. Errors 99 and 9A usually mean the map
file (-m or map=) is not readable, likely because LILO was not re-run
after some system change, or there is a geometry mis-match between what
LILO used (lilo -v3 to display) and what is actually being used by the
BIOS (one of the lilo diagnostic disks, available in the source distri-
bution, may be needed to diagnose this problem).
Some things you could of tried is
1. Default your bios.
2. Go to the /mnt/etc/lilo.conf (if you can) and edit the lilo.conf file. Make sure it has a boot=/dev/hda in the first line. Then mount / and type lilo to process it (Or chroot /mnt).

I'm having problems getting 4.09 (with xmatrix) installed. I have gotten through all the obvious ./configure errors where I was missing some lib-whatever-devel libraries. But now that I"m making it, I get errors when it attempts to make the ./po directory. I think this is some deal where it converts messages written in different languages using /usr/msgfmt.
Here's my output, if anyone has any ideas?

How does this whole system run? I know nothing about playstations.. Can you install this and get a game CD from blockbuster or something like that?
What partition to put it in
in Installing Mandriva
Posted
Problem with that setup is what happens if you want to add a 5th partition? You are screwed. Just designate one as the extended partition. Really, in this setup, only win98 needs to be on a primary partition, so if you set partition 1 (hda1) as primary, and then define the remainder of the hard drive as "extended", you can create any number of partitions. Why?
Linux should be on several partitions rather than one. Better for backup (smaller partitions). You can define a /, an /usr, you will need a /swap, a /home..
Let's say down the road, you decide to test a new version of mandrake. You can install a new version along side with your current until beta testing is done and you are ready to make a permanent change.
I would define what your needs are and just define partitions sizes you need. If you have left over undefined partition space, all the better for the future.
I have a set of linux partitions, a few fat32 partitions, and still have 10 gig of unallocated space for the future..
