(mozilla does not in fact work correctly) Thanks, -Marc

Familiar Linux help...

by Wesley Allen

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...

by Keller, Tim

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.

I'll get to try it soon. I want to use a redirector and a web server on the same NIC of a single machine, and have them both use the default port (80). So, I'll just add an IP to the setup and tell both squid & apache to listen on a single IP. Thanks, Bill

Enable the option in the kernel, then in addition to the main "eth0" interface, you'll get a bunch of other ones of the form "eth0:0" "eth0:1" etc... if you wanna go ghetto-style, you can just do this: ifconfig eth0:0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and it will bind to the specified address. You can do this for more than just listening. I use it to route messages between two virtual subnets. It's real handy when your ISP gives you three real IPs, and you want to masq the rest without creating multiple physical networks. -Chuck

Multiple IPs on one NIC

by Bill Mills-Curran

I know it's possible to assign multiple IPs (at least for listening) to a single ethernet device. I _know_ I should read first and ask questions second, but I'm just _so_ lazy, and there hasn't been much traffic anyway. TIA, Bill
