Booting multiple Linux versions
by Chris Green 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

OK, so to wake up the list a bit, here's a nice simple question. I have a Slackware 9.1 system running and would like to install the (brand new!) Slackware 10.0 as well. The hard disk has a 30Gb partition with 9.1 on it and 30Gb spare on which I can install the new 10.0. So far so good. Installing the Slackware 10.0 should be fairly straightforward I think, I haven't had any big problems with previous versions. However I'm not quite sure how I get the boot menu to present me with the alternative versions. Can anyone give me any guidance. Will I have a problem because of the second (new, 10.0) version being beyond cylinder 1024 or whatever the limitation is? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk)

SUSE 9.1 Personal Free Download
by Ben Francis 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

distrowatch.com is reporting (http://www.distrowatch.com/01692) that SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO is now Available for Free Download from SUSE's FTP server and mirrors. There's nothing official on this from SUSE as far as I can tell though, but it seems to be intentional! Anyone heard any more on this? I may be giving SUSE a go for the first time if I can get it downloaded. tola ^/. P.S. it always makes me laugh when I see "SUSE LINUX (formerly SuSE Linux)" -- Ben "tola" Francis http://hippygeek.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------- COMPUTER SUPPORT for small businesses and home users http://tolatech.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------

by Chris Green 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

If I want to install a DVD writer onto an existing Slackware 9.1 system what do I need to do to get it to work? Are there any good HowTos? (The system already has a CD which I will be replacing with the DVD writer) -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk)

Red Hat Registration & apm
by R.F.Jarvis 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

Hello, can anyone help to solve 2 problems I have with red hat 9 1. I cannot register for updates. The first step (privacy statement) remains blank with the cursor showing busy. The next set of steps are filled in with the required information, but finishes with the error, problem registering user name. 2. If I use the apm command to suspend or standby, the screen shuts down then immediately turns itself back on, then the terminal window continually writes, root @ localhost root, until it is full. Then all programs do not respond,then eventually the whole screen is locked so the computer has to be turned off. Bob Jarvis. (New to Linux)
