Have you try this: # echo "sshd:ALL" >> /etc/hosts.allow

Yeah...!

You can use # mkfs.WHATEVERfs /device/name For example: # mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hda1

How about: MDK? :woops: :woops: :woops:

You can change the append tag in your boot commandline into this: append="... splash=verbose ..." So you can see all processes but still with the blue theme. Otherwise use: append="... splash=off ..." To get the black backgrounded console. CMIIW.

I agree with tymark, and the name is diskdrake And please be careful if you using Mdk-10.x and PQMagic on the windows side :D. I (my friend exactly) experienced 2 times lost all partition data because I let PQMagic fix the partition.

It's my / partition, nothing left there but /lost+found. Do you think that I still can use that / partition to run my GNU/Linux? Of course I use system from other media (my friend's HD, LiveCD, etc.) for both mounting and fsck-ing.

Same problem here, after "once a week " electric failure, I get similar problem with rhaynes. But I'm not as lucky as he is, since all my / partition is lost except lost+found, but the size is equal with the condition before error. The lost+found directory is full with strange file such as "#2345632", some of them look that it is a symbolic links to another file, some look like regular files, and some like character device files. I use ext3. Is there any way to save my data?

Doesn't mean to make it more confusing, but i think that win$ should be installed in first partition (C:) or maybe D:\ if you have 98 installed on C:\. So what is the partition of your free space? If its hda1, it's fine, but if not... I don't know :)

Yes, use Mdk boot CD (Installation CD1) and then press F1 (maybe other, I forgot :P) to enter some option and type rescue. There will be a simple user interface that can be use to restore bootloader. You can even mount your Mdk root partition (/) to add some boot option to lilo.conf, and restore the bootloader after that. Hope this help.

Can't find any better distro, I agree with you ;)

Introduced to linux in a course (actually I'm not in that course for budget lacks, but I act as an intruder and learn something in that course), all box using Mandrake. I don't know the version but I'm pretty sure that it's the newest Mandrake version per September 2000. Tried Mdk-8.2 and SuSE-8.0 in around 2001-2003. Finally bought my own box at December 2003. Installing Mdk-9.1. And now I'm using Mdk-10-OE.

I use xmms-1.2.10 downloaded from http://www.xmms.org, it works fine n my Mdk-10-OE except for some KDE bugs. If we click the "minimize" button, the only window taht minimized is the main xmms window, playlist and eq window left on the desktop.

/etc/ld.so.conf And don't forget to run # ldconfig as root.

OK thx a lot. I'll think "to death" about all your suggestions ;-)

Hello everybody. Let's imagine if we are to make a new livecd. Please do tell me what packages/facilities that you want add. Thx for your responses.

I insisted Mdk-10-OE to use supermount for CDs, since magicdev is totally not working in my box. Besides, I love supermount very much.

Be careful if you using the secure-kernel, it can't poweroff my computer too.

Maybe you can edit your /etc/lilo.conf and change the value boot=/dev/hdb to boot=/dev/hda and then reinstall LiLO. Try it.

The command to close the cdrom tray is eject -t

I'm not exactly sure, but I think so. Just try to browse the /boot/config file, the kernel configuration is listed there, "m" means module and "y" means built-in.

Try to add "splash=silent" to the boot option in lilo. E.g. : image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda2 splash=silent" I hope this helps.

Setting sudo (/etc/sudoers) will be a very good alternative.

Maybe it would be better if you paste your /etc/lilo.conf here

Hmmm? The error message occurs, but you actually succeeded. Is the error mesage comes out when you work in other directories?
