OK Just wanted to post how I got round this in case someone else has the same problem. With the bootdisk not working, if you transfer more than one file individually, RaWrite writes the first file,...

It's a desktop. In the intervening days I may have worked out how to make RaWrite write the System.map file. If you specify the three files in the bare.i folder separately, and call them bzImage,...

Sorry. I should have posted more information to start with. The CD Rom is external because it was added when I bought the computer. I believe it is pcmcia. I have tried and failed to change bios...

I need to use a bootdisk made in windows to start an install of Slackware 10.2 because my computer is a second hand pentium II of unknown age and I don't really want to try making it boot from CD. I...

What's dist-cc? I've never heard of it.:confused:

I have a P2 300mhz box with a 3Gb hard drive. I did find it a bit slow the day I compiled GCC-3.4.0 just to see if I could. It took about six hours and filled up the entire hard drive and then I...

It could be worse. When I was in year 10 of my secondary school it changed to microsoft. The worst thing was that the students knew Word inside out and things like that better than the teachers,...

Is there any reason why you can't tar xvjf emu10k1-blah.tar.bz2 ?

I'm afraid the missing dot is just my typing. Sorry :o

It's supposed to be a normal routine like you describe according to the docs, but somehow it never seems to be able to find the information it needs which is why I keep correcting it when it tries to...

When I try to build abiword this is what happens

[victoria@localhost victoria]$ cd abiword-2.0.2

I'm finding xfce4 quite friendly at the moment. I used to have kde/gnome with RedHat 9, but I got rid of it because I was impatient with how slow that is on a pentium 11. The only thing is you lose...

The number of factors does increase, so I'm guessing that perhaps if you want it to speed up you make some way of actually hanging on to your results from the previous number rather than starting...

It would be a good idea to say which program you are using to burn CDs. www.linuxiso.org is a site I found very useful.:)

I got it all installed very early yesterday. I just thought I would let you know that the problem turned out to be exceptionally simple. I didn't extract the file I wanted to write to floppy disk.:o ...

I am trying to make a bootdisk for RedHat 9.0, and although I can see a bootdisk.img file, rawwritewin cannot find it and the computer I am using (WinXP) does not seem to be able to cope with...

mdwatts,
About a year ago I was struggling with my monitor on my first linux install because it was set up first with a different one. I could hardly believe how patient you were with me, and I...

Is it normal for this to take hours and hours? It's just that for hours I've had
sh-2.04#
as the last line on my screen.
I am a bit worried as I am not convinced that there isn't something more...

I have a grub prompt rather than a lilo one. Does that change anything?

"su" cannot log on with root's password.
While I was trying to install an X server, I got the following message which might or might not be relevant in light of the previous statement.
An error has...

I have tried the 'su' thing and I am probably being stupid but given that I logged in as test is
[root@localhost test]#
the message I was hoping for?
I have tried to reinstall an X server, but...

Typing startx has given me the message
X connection to: 0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
I haven't been to the location it suggested to find out exactly what happened, but I suspect I...

When I went to sort out the X server I was given a choice and I just picked the one at the top of the list. :o Whe I try to go from virtual terminal 1 to an X session by pressing alt-F7, I ge the...

I have been surfing the net to find this, and I think that because I must have a 66MHz bus I have a slot 1 motherboard with either an EX or 440ZX66 chipset. I'm afraid I don't know exactly how old my...

My hardware is:
A Pentium II processor manufactured by Fujitsu
64mb RAM
3GB hard drive
A floppy drive which was there already
A CD ROM drive which was added later (I think it was SCSI)
