Definite Linux
by John Woodard 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

I see that the latest Definite Linux is now available to download from: ftp://212.1.130.10/pub/Definite/7.0/ Details at: http://www.definitelinux.com/ Far too big a download for my modem connection. I'd really like to try this as it's a UK specific distro based on Red Hat (which I use). Any of you Uni chaps like to do me a favour and grab me an ISO on your fast connection before the next meeting? Talking of the next meeting has a date been decided yet?

Hi, I realise that Debian seems to be preferred by the people on this list, but is there anybody at UEA who could possibly supply me with a redhat 6.whatever CD????

Well, without knowing the address you're subscribed under, he can't do anything. > whoever's in charge of the list, please fix it. I'm in charge of the listserver, so if you can email me offlist with the address you sent the subscription request from, I'll deal with it.

Mandrake logon problems?
by John Woodard 01 Dec '99

01 Dec '99

I just installed Mandrake 6.1 off the latest PC Answers coverdisk. All went well, couldn't tell the difference between that and RH6.0's installer (apart from the total lack of X server setup, expect you're meant to do that after you have a working console). When I get to the standard logon prompt I input root and enter as usual but it doesn't give me a password prompt just another logon prompt, hence I can't get into the system. This is also the case with a normal user and when I try booting from a floppy instead of the hdd (lilo is on the mbr). I can get into a bash prompt by using lilo single but that still gets me nowhere, I tried changing the root password and running lilo again from there. Any ideas? Could the good folks at PC Answers have slipped us a lemon I wonder?

Does that mean the A120 to Clacton is some sort of Wormhole!?!?!? MJR, The block of text I guess you are refering to is attached to the end of all outbound email from the FT's email routers. Nothing I can do to remove it - the email admins thought it would be fun I guess!!! Sorry about that!!
