Hello all, I'm booting a USB stick (DOS formatted, one 1GB partition) and I'd like to offer the choice of either continue booting from the USB stick, or booting from the installed hard disk (Linux ext3). I've asked this question here previously and Quinn replied saying I should use the 'localboot -1' option which would pass boot to the next device. And so I did. The BIOS

Hi all, This surely has nothing to do with syslinux, but since many people here ar eusing USB sticks as booting devices (using syslinux) this is a good place to ask, I think. I have an Apacer 1GB USB stick that was happily booting PCs using syslinux. But now, after some tests, it does not anymore. It does not even produce some kind of message from syslinux when booting. Nothing. The

Hi, I would like to boot a LINUX system from an external USB Hard Drive. Motherboard (ASUS P4P800) supports boot from USB with or without floppy emulation. Is it possible to use syslinux for booting without any floppy or CD, just from the external USB drive? Regards... Bela

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

Has anybody tried to boot a dos disk via memdisk with a usb flash device as a primary hard drive? I have a 512MB flash key that when connected becomes my primary hard drive (new bios) - 0x80. If I boot a MS-DOS 7.10 floppy, one gets the command prompt and I can see the contents of my flash key as drive C:. But, if I make a image of the floppy and boot the image via memdisk, then memdisk

Hi! I've got a USB key with several tools (small linux, memtest86+) booting via syslinux. But now I have to add powermax.exe (a MSDOS tool to test Maxtor disks) on this key. As I've always been on Unix/Linux system, I don't know what to do to run powermax.exe from syslinux. I've made a boot floppy disk and tried to copy everything on my usb key and put the command.com in kernel

Hello syslinuxers I'm stuck with a scientific problem which gives me headaches: I have a laptop (Gateway MX3410) which has a SD memory card reader. Recently an interesting thought crossed my mind: why don't I setup a 2GB SD card as a harddrive and put some rescue tools on it. So I dug on the net and I came across the idea of using memdisk to boot floppy images without the need of a

Hello, From a user perspective, the simple (tcpri) and complex TC configs offers two rather distinct choices. A user can very well be OK with only using the simple way and that''s very fine. Then again, even in doing so, the more complex config options are available. What is the interplay between the two as far as having some parameters configured in both at the same time ? So far

Hello all, I am attempting to install CentOS 5.5 on a recently donated home server (was Windows). I've tried installing twice; first, separating /boot, swap, /, /var, /usr and /home into different partitions, the second time choosing default layout. Both times have resulted in "GRUB Hard Disk Error" upon boot. About the hard disk, it is a Seagate SATA drive. I do not have another

Hello syslinux mailing list, I've been working on a kind of system administration tool ( http://twyna.sourceforge.net/) with a colleague of mine for our Computer Science Bachelor degree internship. I hope I'm saying that right :) We use gPXELinux to boot over a web service and it's all working marvellously, except for the localboot bug. Until now we've used chain.c32 to solve

I have a tested copy of EL6 that I would like to duplicate to a number of similar servers, but can't seem to find a sane howto on the subject. TLDP's "Hard disk upgrade howto" is embarrassingly antiquated: when's the last time you saw LILO? What's the recommended procedure for doing an HDD copy/upgrade from one disk to another? Is there a nice, detailed howto that

Hi, I have set up a standard samba4 server via http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO and have tested that windows machines can join the samba4 AD. Now I am trying to join an Ubuntu machine to the same samba4 ad but it is failing for me with the following message: # net ADS JOIN -U Administrator Enter Administrator's password: Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain

Is anybody using the Copula package in R? The particular problem I'm facing is that R is not acknowledging the fitCopula command/function when I load the package and (try to) run something very simple: fit1 <- fitCopula(x1 = list(u11,u12,u13,u14,u15,u16,u17,u18), tCopula, optim.control = list(NULL), method = "BFGS") Anybody also using it, successfully or unsuccessfully?

Ok, I have reinstalled R-1.9.0 and this appears to have fixed the problems I was having with png(). However, I have a further question regarding png() Is it possible to pass a par() argument to the png() command? I am wanting to produce 4 plots per object, which I normally acheive on an X window by par(mfrow=c(1,4)). I have tried calling a new plot and setting par in this way but this has no

Hi all, Do any of you have any ideas for getting a DOS floppy to reboot to the hard drive (which may contain Windows 98 or XP or Linux or Novell etc etc)? I want to use syslinux, but it does not support the localboot option like pxelinux and isolinux do. Basically, I want to boot DOS from a floppy, run some DOS stuff, then reboot to the hard drive while leaving the floppy disk in the drive.

Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

Hi, Just a quick query - if I'm creating a function to produce a number of histograms per page of output (one per column from a matrix), how can I pass the column name of the matrix into the title (or indeed to form part of the x-axis label)?

Hi, I think it is great that samba4 has a single sign on solution for Windows platforms and it seems to work well too, but I am wondering is it possible to do the same for a Linux environment? I have been studying how to implement single sign on using the Ubuntu way through this document: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SingleSignOn and I am wondering if I can do the same with samba4 where the

Hello, I requested help a couple of weeks ago creating a dipole field in R but receieved no responses. Eventually I opted to create a 3d sinusoidal plot and concatenate this with its inverse as a means for a "next best" situation. It seems that this isn't sufficient for my needs and I'm really after creating a continuous 3d gaussian mesh with a "positive" and

Hi, I am doing some kerberos testing with samba4 using ssh. I have setup samba4 using the howto at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO and active directory seems to be working both with Windows and Linux clients. ssh unfortunately is not kerberos authenticating via GSSAPI. The client krb5.conf contains this: ===================================================== [libdefaults]
