...c app (MSWindows > Media Player), a virus scanner and a file navigation utility > (Explorer). They are basically "Thin Clients" using a PXE boot, although local installation is an option. Long story short, Microsoft has _never_ produced a "consumer" Windows product, not DOS7 "Chicago" nor NT, that is "read-only" bootable. That's been a major limitation of DOS/NT versus UNIX systems, they _require_ the filesystem to be "read/write" during the boot process. Most of this is due to the more "consumer" libraries designed for DOS7...

Hi, My computer has only primaly IDE but not secondaly. I connected a hard drive as Master and DVD-R as Slave on IDE. BIOS doesn't recognize IDE devices, but Windows XP that boots up from SATA hard drive can recognize DVD-R and can read files on the CentOS Installer Disk 1 of 4. Is it possible to start Centos4 Installer from WindowsXP? If possible, which file on Disk 1 should I click? Even

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem. But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B]) ... command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63 <<<< [A] ...

OK, I have managed to get software RAID 1 running on my wonderful Proliant server but now have two challenges: 1) Fresh after an OS install and reboot, the RAID array starts to do its stuff but straight away (as part of the boot messages) I am told that the second disk is 'not ready for command' and the system hangs as soon as resyncing starts. I think this is fixed by adding an hdparm

...the Imageedit tools. With these tools it should be possible to to read in an bootable Disk and extend this one to I think 16MB none exept the original Size of 1.44M worked for me. So searched the Net and finaly found a 2.8M Image where I could boot from. deleted all the files in side of it and put DOS7(win98se) german in it. And I could getit to work.

I am working on a Linux-based boot disk for my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/), and I have hit a snag. Under Linux 2.6, the kernel (via HDIO_GETGEO) always reports the C/H/S geometry of an IDE drive as X/16/63. But most BIOSes want to use the geometry Y/255/63. Most partitioning tools (including Parted) will take clues from an existing partition table and adapt to the BIOS values.

I'm sure this question comes up waaaay to often in this list, and I apologize if I've missed the obvious answer. I did spend the last two hours looking for a solution and trying various things, but to no avail. I'm trying to run a command-line app (text-only). It's a cross-compiler tool for which we only have Windows binaries. The app works fine, but when I run it (i.e. to

I am using centOS for my server and centOS is extremely stable. I almost love centOS more than my wife. However, centOS is a bit heavy to run on my notebook (P III 1G, 256MB RAM). I need gnome, firefox, openoffice, realplayer, gaim, acrobat and thunderbird on my notebook, but if I install all of them (plus base-system), my notebook becomes very slow. I wish I could have a lighter version of centOS
