Correct syntax for mkinitrd command?

2004-12-23 Thread Andrew Konosky
I am trying to compile a vanilla 2.6.9 kernel and I have configured it and compiled it, but the mkinitrd syntax is different from the one I am used to in Fedora. My kernel modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.9custom and I want to create an initrd image in /boot/initrd-2.6.9_custom.img. I ran this a

Fellow TILP users, please help!

2004-12-22 Thread Andrew Konosky
Okay, I have followed the instructions in the manual, but I still can't get TILP to work on either my Fedora installation or my Debian installation, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. In Debian, I have USB support and the tiusb kernel module present, and I even see that the SilverLin

I have both Debian 3.1 and Fedora Core 3 on this computer, and FC3 is using an LVM filesystem. I can mount my Debian filesystem in Fedora because it is a simple ext2 partition, but in Debian, I am not sure how to mount my Fedora filesystem. It is on /dev/hdb2, which is a 74gb physical volume in

After I got the base system installed, I selected "Desktop Environment" and apt installed both KDE and Gnome, Gnome as default. I switched it over to KDE and KDM, but the installer didn't set up my graphical config right. My Radeon 8500 graphics card and my Philips 107P monitor are detected ri

Just installed Sarge, Have a bug report!

2004-12-20 Thread Andrew Konosky
I played around with my LVM setup for my Fedora Core 3 installation last night to free up a 35gb block on which I did a net install of Debian 3.1. During the Debian installation, I had a lot of trouble with the partitioner. My LVM setup in Fedora was a 35gb pv on hda4 and a 74gb pv on hdb2. I d

2004-09-20 Thread Andrew Konosky
I have been wanting to get a DVD-RW drive and recently someone suggested I get an external drive, which I had never thought of. It will be more expensive than an internal drive, but I could use it on all of my computers to backup data, with less hassle than an internal drive. Also, I might be g

Getting Started with Debian 3.0

Hello, I started out in Linux with RedHat 8.0, then 9.0, and now I run Fedora Core 2 on my primary computer. I have used the Knoppix cd a lot, which I know is based on Debian, so I wanted to try out the full version of Debian. I just installed Debian on my old computer, which was running SuSe 9
