I'm trying to set up a router for a LAN to cable modem connection, by Wednesday. The box is an old 486dx4-100. I have installed RH 7.1 using the Server installation class. The network where this will be installed is at another location, so setup and testing there will have to wait. The curren

I' trying to reurrect an old 486 for use as a router. It became apparent that the battery, a Dallas Realtime clock, had seen better days, so I replaced it. Apparently that was a mistake. Lilo only gets to "L", and the system won't boot from the recently made boot floppy. Both the hd's auto-dete

After a string of errors this afternoon, I decided to reboot. The reboot failed to startx. I restarted in "linux 1" mode, then a memory of past experience with a full "/" started creeping back. I rebooted from the 7.1 CD into rescue mode, and ran e2fsck on the affected partition (sda9), after f

Thanks, Ashley. I had forgotten about the 5%. A quick trip through /var/* revealed the presence of a number of large spool files leftover from trying to get Star Office to cooperate with cups. I then moved /var onto another partition. Of course, the *real* solution is more drive space. ;-) --
