This won't workunder Linux as it only recognizes two IDE ports. What youneed to do is move a jumper on the card to configure it forIDE1 (the secondary IDE port). I'm not sure if you have tomake changes under DOS for this configuration to work, butyour manuals should help with this (it <em>will</em> still work, butyou may have to edit a file or two).<p>You may also have to specify command line parameters like:<p><blockquote><font size=-1><tt><pre>boot: linux hdX=cdrom</pre></tt></font></blockquote><p>If you have one IDE drive, X is most likely ``b'' in this case(ie ``linux hdb=cdrom''). If you have two, then it will be ``c''.<p><h3><a name="sE.3.2">E.3.2 How do I run the install program again?</a></h3><title>How do I run the install program again?</title><p>Reboot your machine using the disk that you made for theinstallation. You will most likely need to completely reinstall your system.<p>If you just want to reconfigure networking or install more packages,try using the control-panel tools.<p><h3><a name="sE.3.3">E.3.3 Why am I missing some programs?</a></h3><title>Why am I missing some programs?</title><p>Try doing a `df' at the shell prompt. If you have ``/'' or``/usr'' showing up as 100% used, chances are your partitionwas too small for the entire install. Unfortunately, thisdoes not result in any type of error messages unless youare watching closely (which most people don't when thething tells you it is going to take 2 hours to install :-).You will most likely need to reinstall and do one of two things: a) make your root or ``/usr'' partition larger orb) install fewer packages. <p>Also, if none of the partitions you made for Linux is full, youare probably just missing some packages. You will need touse <tt>glint</tt> or <tt>rpm</tt> to install those.<p><h3><a name="sE.3.4">E.3.4 How do I mount my CD-ROM?</a></h3><title>How do I mount my CD-ROM?</title><p>If you installed from CD-ROM, you should be able to do:<p><tt>mount /mnt/cdrom</tt><p>If you get an error that says the mount point does not exist, do:<p><tt>mkdir /mnt/cdrom</tt><p>If you did an install via NFS:You need to know what type of CD-ROM you have.The best way is to watch the boot messages as you reboot, or look at /var/adm/messages (<tt>more /var/adm/messages</tt>).You most likely have an IDE CD-ROM that will show up as/dev/hdc or /dev/hdd, or you have a Sound Blaster typethat is /dev/sbpcd, or you have a SCSI that is /dev/scd0.<p>In any case, you can do the following:<p><tt>mount -t iso9660 /dev/xxxx /mnt/cdrom</tt><p>and substitute xxxx for YOUR device. You can then:<tt>cd /mnt/cdrom</tt>and then:<tt>ls</tt>and you will be looking at the contents of the CD-ROM.<p><h3><a name="sE.3.5">E.3.5 Why does Linux only see part of my RAM?</a></h3><title>Why does Linux only see part of my RAM?</title><p>There are a couple things that could be wrong. On <em>some</em>386's, you need to compile your kernel with ``Limit memory to 16M?'' enabled. Some AMI BIOS motherboards have a memory option to splitmemory into two segments. I'm not sure what the optionis called, but it has something to do with ``linear''.You'll find it in your BIOS setup.You may need to specify the amount of memory to thekernel at boot time from lilo. To try this, type:<tt>linux mem=32M</tt>at the lilo prompt. If that works, you can add that lineto the append in your /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.The example from above would be:<blockquote><font size=-1><tt><pre>append = "mem=32M"</pre></tt></font></blockquote><p>Don't forget to run `lilo' after editing the file.<p><h3><a name="sE.3.6">E.3.6 How do I install to my DOS partition?</a></h3><title>How do I install to my DOS partition?</title><p>You can't. None of the current Red Hat releases supportUMSDOS installs. If you have one drive that hasone big DOS partition with free space you want to use,you have two options. One is to backup all your DOSdata somehow and then repartition the drive into smaller partitions and then restore the DOS data backto a DOS partition. You then have a free partition forlinux. The second choice is to use fips. fips is a program that will let you change your partition sizeof a DOS partition without harming the data on it. Itis <em>STRONGLY</em> suggested that you backup your data beforeusing fips. Red Hat Software makes no warranties or claimsas to the suitability of using fips for this purpose norcan we guarantee that data will remain unharmed.I haven't heard of anyone having a bad experience withfips, but I won't guarantee it either.<p><h3><a name="sE.3.7">E.3.7 How do I use the NYS/NIS system that comes with RedHat?</a></h3><title>How do I use the NYS/NIS system that comes with RedHat?</title><p>Please see the NYS-Tips.
