similar to: Important feature missing: Floppy booting from 2 disks

Hi, I'm the maintainer ROCK Linux (www.rocklinux.org). We are using isolinux on our Install-CDs for x86 systems. We - as most other distributions too - are running in the problem that even minimalistc kernels are slowly growing and sometimes don't fit on 1.44 MB floppies anymore. 2.5.x kernels with initramfs are even bigger than 2.88 MB in some cases... Until now it always has been

Hi, Just FYI: I've create a template disk image + small shell script for creating a multi-disk linux boot floppies for kernels and/or initrd's with a size > 1.44 MB. It's based on FreeDOS Beta 8, the XMSdsk ramdisk and Loadlin: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/clifford/MDLBL/ I primary wrote it for ROCK Linux <www.rocklinux.org> but it might be usefull for everyone who

Full_Name: Robert A. Weller Version: current OS: Mac OS 10.6 Submission from: (NULL) (129.59.140.86) The gfortran 4.2.4 installer in the Tools section that is supposed to install a Snow Leopard (10.6) version is actually installing version 4.2.1. I am finding that the 4.2.1 compiler installed as issues e.g. in interpreting the -fno-automatic command line switch and also -fdefault-real-8. We

Hi, I don't want to have to downgrade my samba server to disable spoolss. I'm running 2.2.3. (I assume I don't need 2.2.3a since it just fixed an overwrite bug). When I use "disable spoolss = no", I can access my printer \\server\savin just fine. When I use "disable spoolss = yes", I can see my printer (savin) in \\server, but when I access it, I get:

Hi, I have a problem. I upgraded from samba 2.0.7 to 2.2.3 recently, and one of my 2 printers have driver issues. Whenever I print to SAVIN 2545, I get binary and hieroglyphics, so I assumed that it's driver-related. I can print to our HP8100 just fine. Some machines were still configured with: "\\server\savin", LAN Manager Printer These machines STILL print fine. However, if

I want to be able to test live migration... I have an intel box and an amd box, so live migration between them won''t ''just work''. From what I''ve read though, I should be able to use cpuid to turn off all the cpu features which might be different between them. Is this do-able? I''m willing to accept any resulting loss of performance etc. James

Hello! Is it possible to load a virtual DOS Floppy with memdisk to do a few things (e.g. scan for viruses, copy a hard disk image from the network to the local disk) and continue booting from the local hard disk without a reboot? Cheers Alex

Dear all, After an update from Ubuntu Edgy to Feisty, I seem to have lost package JGR()!? I have updated my sources.list to point to the Feisty repos at http://cran.ch.r-project.org/ and re-installed JGR() via: $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/R/site-packages/* $ sudo R CMD javareconf $ sudo R > install.packages("JGR",dep=TRUE) > library(JGR) > JGR() However, I get the

Dear all, I am new to R and statistics really in general. I am hoping that someone will be able to point me in the right direction and/or suggest a technique/package/reference that will help me with the following. I have: Some input variables (integers, real) Some output variables (integers, real) and I want to find out which between the two correlate best - i.e. the salient features. I

Hello Prof. Harrell and dear R-help mailing list, I wish to perform a non-parametric repeated measures anova. If what I read online is true, this could be achieved using a mixed Ordinal Regression model (a.k.a: Proportional Odds Model). I found two packages that seems relevant, but couldn't find any vignette on the subject: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/repolr/

Dear R-devel, REvolution appear to be offering ParallelR only when bundled with their R Enterprise edition. As such it appears to be non-free and closed source. http://www.revolution-computing.com/products/parallel-r.php Since R is GPL and not LGPL, is this a breach of the GPL ? Below is the "GPL and ParallelR" thread from their R forum. mdowle > It appears that ParallelR

I have a csv file that has approximately 50k rows. In the first value of each row, a file name is listed, and there are 162 different file names. At the end of each row, there is a number value. What I would like to be able to do is for the 162 different files (or we could call them categories), is compute the ecdf for the values within that category. Then plot the ecdf for each file on the

Hi, I have a bizarre printing problem, and i think i've narrowed it down to either samba, or the way windows packages the file to be printed. I've recently implemented a new server. Users print through the linux server from their windows desktop machines. OLD server: -samba 2.0.7, which uses lpd NEW server: -samba 2.2.3, which uses cups The old server can print to the printer (Savin

Dear all, I am very new to R and find the terminal-based UI a little daunting. (That's probably the wrong thing to say!) Having searched the Packages it seems that I can have either a Gnome-based or Java-based GUI for my Ubuntu machine. However, I can get neither to work. Having run R as root, I then run the following command: install.packages("gnomeGUI", dependencies=TRUE) The

Dear all, Please excuse my ignorance, but I am having difficulty with this, and am unable to find help on the website/Google. I have a series of explanatory variables that I am aiming to get parsimony out of. For example, if I have 10 variables, a-j, I am initially looking at the linear relationships amongst them: my.lm1 <- lm(a ~ b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j, data=my.data) summary(my.lm1) my.lm2

Hello everyone, To increase my odds of finding an answer I also wanted to ask here. This is my post from serverfault[1] in verbatim: While trying to get a cloned disk running from my OS snapshot I run into the problem that Libvirt cannot see existing images cloned from a snapshot. Created via: # rbd -p vmdisks clone vmdisks/coreos_2023@base vmdisks/coreos00.disk The base image has the one

I found that if I do not have a local floppy installed and enabled on my client, I will get the error 'Non-system disk' when I try to boot DOS floppy images. NT or Syslinux floppy images boot fine. If I enable the floppy in the BIOS, then it boots the DOS floppies just fine. Is this normal? Is there a workaround? There are MS-DOS images, so perhaps this is an MS-DOS limitation. --

Dear Andy and Peter, My apologies for chiming in so late, but I was out of town and just caught up with R-help today (and an impressive amount of material accumulates on R-help in a couple of weeks!). Although I develop the Rcmdr package on a Windows system, I test it under Linux as well -- most recently on Ubuntu 7.04 with R 2.5.0. Curiously, the windows for Rcmdr 1.3-5 look normal to me, as I

syslinux 3.11 (from debian's 3.11-3 package) does it job. The machine boots as expected with an 1.44 floppy. Yet the floppy driver's led doesn't turn off. 1) Is this a syslinux issue? 2) Can I safely remove the boot floppy (media) without dameging it? From memory: $ cat syslinux.cfg say linux 2.6.14 (probably with debian modifications) default linux append root=/dev/nfs

Hi, I'm trying to install CentOS 4.5 in a PIII. Problem is the computer doesn't boot by the CD-ROM drive and when I try to access the BIOS to change the settings, the machine goes bezerk :( Is it possible to start the install through a floppy and then continue the rest of the install process with the CDs ? If so, how ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm regards, -- :wq! M?rio
