DOS to Linux Setup
I just came from the Redhat.com website in an attempt to learn how to make a bootable floppy/CD from which to install Linux to learn UNIX. Unfortuaneately the site doesn't recognise the possibility that someone may want the dos/windows versions of the unix commands to do this. Here what I have: P3-500Mhz FDisked system 10 Gb HD w/ CD DOS bootdisk w/ CD drivers Complete set of Redhat 9.0 CDs burnt from a download from MUN (not formatted with system files). Here's what I need: The non-unix instructions to create a bootable floppy / CD that the autoboot will recognise and get the installation underway. Please point me to a FAQ or website that contains this info.

If not, check your BIOS and re-configure accordingly. An abbreviated OS is created in a ram disk (in memory only) at this point and the install proceeds using this little, temporary, Linux OS. There's no need for DOS commands at all. AC

The instructions to create the Red Hat Linux boot floppy are on the first installation CD (and this CD is already bootable when created correctly), look in the 'dosutils' directory. Additional help to create the boot floppy can be found here; http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-DISKS -- "In short, without this exclusive franchise, called the Windows API, we would have been dead a long time ago."

Thanks for the replies. I missed the section on RAWRITE because I followed the instructions immediately previous to that. However, I am no father ahead. Yesterday, when I ran into the impasse I mentioned I used the autoboot.bat in the dosutils directory and got to the point where it says, "The REDHAT Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives ...." and then won't let you out of the install program unless you back out of each of the previous screens. Creating the bootdisk just used another path to the same destination. I'm beginning to see why linux is not catching on even among intermediate to advanced users. I am assuming that the installation is halting despite the presence of the complete installation directories and files on the CD because the media is not formatted as an installation boot CD. The only section on the RedHat.com site about creating an installation boot CD image that I have found uses unix instructions. Am I missing the DOS equivalent somewhere ?

It's quite simple, you download the ISO's then follow the directions here; http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/CD_burning_howto.php3 http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/howtoburn.html -- "In short, without this exclusive franchise, called the Windows API, we would have been dead a long time ago."

I guess you missed the point where most distros produce a
"bootable" CD, just like Windows 2k and XP. Your P3-500Mhz system
should be able to "boot" from "CD" provided you've adjusted the BIOS
to search the CD-Drive for a bootable disk 1st or 2nd - as long as it
is before the hard-disk, but being an empty hard-disk, it should find
it anyway. Just like 2k/XP, no "DOS" required. Since my PII-400Mhz
is CD/BIOS bootable, I'm almost positive your P3-500Mhz is also.
Also, there are no DOS/Windows versions of UNIX commands, but
there are DOS/Windows equivalents of UNIX commands.

Just like 2k/XP, no "DOS" required. Since my PII-400Mhz > is CD/BIOS bootable, I'm almost positive your P3-500Mhz is also. I can second that: I've recently installed Linux on my laptop (P3 500 w/ CD-RW/DVD drive). I'd made the installation CDs from ISO images (by double-clicking on the .iso file in Windows explorer which fired up EZCD creator which did the rest). However I have in the past copied someone else's Linux installation CDs and somehow ended up with non-bootable CDs. Do you have a Windows install CD? Does your PC boot from it? If not you probably need to change (in the BIOS) the order in which your PC looks for devices to boot from (as others have mentioned). If it boots from a Windows CD but not from your Linux one you probably need to burn a new CD making it bootable. Another gotcha could be that some (very) old CD drives will read CD-Rs but not CD-RWs (in case your Linux is on CD-RWs).

Hi, Interested in trying Linux? Well you came to comp.os.linux.advocacy for some reason, and you probably won't stay long. Here's a list of Linux distributions to choose from.

Sure it is possible if your nic is PXE capable, a properly tagged kernel is delivered on the RH install CDs. You need dhcp + tftp + (nfs|http|ftp) server.

Did ROX Linux ever come to anything? I was a member of the mailing list a while ago, it started off interesting and then seemed to go off on a tangent then it all went quiet. It seemed like an excellent idea, a linux distro structured like RISC OS. It would have been an ideal compliment to a RISC OS system, same UI but different set of applications (probably not quite so consiste...
Hi, Interested in trying Linux? Well you came to comp.os.linux.advocacy for some reason, and you probably won't stay long. Here's a list of Linux distributions to choose from. Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com Newbie friendly and good support forums. SuSE http://www.novell.com/linux Pay for some support if you're not opposed to spending a little money. Fedora Core http://fedoraproject.org If you're more comfortable with your computer, try this one out. If you get frustrated, don't give up so easy. There is a wealth of information online for whichever distro you choose....
I have Linux! I have Linux!
Ok, after two days of trying to get Windos 1900 installed and working , I sat down an hour ago and installed Linux. In an hour. Smirk. Ok, I will be honest. I did have some problems, but I believe they were of my own ignorance. 0) I started with trying to install Suse. However, I couldn't get it to install. Why? Because I didn't read the menu. There is a startup menu and the first entry is boot to harddisk. I thought that was the thing to do so I did it about 4 times. Then I gave up. However, I went back to it and subsequently realized that I should have chosen the 2nd men...
My Linux is not your Linux
To the denizens of comp.os.linux.advocacy! So many people demonstrate in this newsgroup that they know only a Linux of Hatred and Greed, of paranoia, and of a selfish sense of entitlement. They seem always to be behaving like monkeys in reaction to human dissenters, throwing feces at one another and beating their chests pretending to know something. My Linux is not that Linux. My Linux is the Linux of Love, of sharing, friendship, community. It is a uniquely human Linux and not one for monkeys. When I speak with fellow Linux users in real life (i.e. not in the monkeyhouse of COLA) they remin...

Which Linux OS best for beginner to setup as Web / Mail server / Internet sharer and firewall?
We are a small business with no IT employees and have about 20 Windows ME machines. None of that is subject to change. We are installing a DSL line, and when we do, we want to improve the way our Internet is handled. I am planning to try to set up a server which the DSL will connect to, and will run our web site off the server, as well as automatically get our POP3 emails from our outside accounts, and hold them until our local computers want to see them. It should also share the internet connection and run a firewall. We are only considering no cost versions of Linux for this purpose, an...

Linux setup problem.
Hi. I have tried installing Mandrake Linux 9.1 on my machine at home, but I can't seem to get the video card to work. I have an ATI Radeon 7500 on an EMC monitor, and Linux installer can't detect a suitable mode for the display. Everything works just fine on my Win XP OS. The Linux installer runs XFree86 v4.3, and I think this one is most up to date. Any suggestions will be much appreciated? Thank you.

Linux should disown elementary OS Linux for the Scam that it is.
No Problem'o, DooFuS. I can blame it all on the Linux Mint TEXT size being = too small on my 19 inch monitor. As Moi was saying... I tried two more additional downloads of elementary OS Linux. Both of them= likewise failed. While they could have been discriminating against Moi for his ZERO contribu= tion, I will be damned if I am going to PAY GOOD money for something when t= here is no guarantee that the stupid DOWNLOAD wont fail, JUST TO FIND OUT t= hat it WONT work at all on my computer hardware, let alone whether OR NOT i= t will actually do what is being claimed. Moi has NEVER experienced a download problem with Linux Mint. From what I have seen, elementary OS Linux is a scam, much like those Windo= ws come ons that claim that they can fix your computer problems merely by m= ucking with the Windows Registry. The Linux World should disown elementary OS Linux for being the Scam that i= t is. Or, can any phony distro claim to be Linux? Yeah, where are the Linu= x police?

Sure it is possible if your nic is PXE capable, a properly tagged kernel is delivered on the RH install CDs. You need dhcp + tftp + (nfs|http|ftp) server. I'd rather suggest using http then nfs as install repository. Though for a single system I'd install via floppy if possible, which should be easier...
