I am new to the Mass. area, but I use to be a Sr. Network Admin with Charter Communications. The question that I have is are you using Charter@home or Charter Pipeline? If it is Charter@home then you have to make some different changes in your setup. You have to add some domain information. It took a while to finally Linux DHCP to with with Charter@home but we were able to figure it out. If it is Charter Pipeline I will be willing to find you some contact information with one othe the Sr. Network Admins that I know. Tom > rpm -q pump > > pump is Red Hat's DHCP client.

I'm assuming you've made a minor typing mistake in the first sentence of the previous paragraph (otherwise very confusing) I'm assuming also that you're saying that the internal card boots OK and the card hooked to the cable modem is failing: - be sure the driver module for the cable modem eth card is loaded (e.g 'insmod 3c90x' or whatever for your card ) - be sure the 'pump' package in installed > >Any ideas?

Having a problem with RPM... # rpm -qa |grep mozilla mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4 nautilus-mozilla-1.0.3-ximian.3 mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4 # rpm -e mozilla-0.9.1 error: "mozilla-0.9.1" specifies multiple packages # rpm -e mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4 error: "mozilla-0.9.1-ximian.4" specifies multiple packages Any ideas on how I can actually remove those two identical packages that somehow got installed? (mozilla does not in fact work correctly) Thanks, -Marc

Familiar Linux help...
by Wesley Allen June 29, 2001

June 29, 2001

Hello all. I am FINALLY getting an iPaq and want to flash the ROM to install familar linux (or QT embedded). I've been looking over the howtos but I think I would feel better to have someone who's done this sitting over my shoulder so I don't make a $600 paperweight. Also, can someone tell me what apps are in ipkg format for familiar, I've been having trouble finding them? What about the possibility of switching between QT embedded and X for other useful apps (like, game boy emulators, for instance, or even the Atari Lynx...). Can anyone help me with this? Wes

RE: [Wlug] HP LH Pro...

Figured it out... Turned out that I could change the boot order on the machine, its working fine now. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Keller, Tim [mailto:Tim.Keller@stratus.com] Sent: Friday, June 29, 2001 8:19 AM To: 'wlug(a)wlug.org' Subject: [Wlug] HP LH Pro... Probably a quick one, but neither google or I have sorted it out yet... I have a HP LH PRO with a AMI Megaraid controller in it. Connected to the controller are 2 4gig disks I've got configured to be mirrored using the hardware raid. (when doing the install you only see 1 4 gig disk) Now Mandrake 7.2 installs fine, and when using a boot floppy can see the controller etc... however when booting off of the controller, lilo comes up, it finds the kernel image and then stops at "unpacking the kernel..." I don't get any errors, it just hangs. I hooked up a regular scsi disk to one of the other Adaptec controllers but by the nature of the way the machine is layered out sda is the raid controller so the boot sector ends up on it anyway. My kernel works properly because it can access all the filesystems that reside on those disks, I just can't boot off of them. It feels like an issue with lilo... If anybody has experience with this I'd like to know what the solution would be.
