Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux

Hi, On our samba server (3.0.22-SuSE93) we have many printers installed with cups. Most of them are RAW queues to use within Windows. A few of them however, are filtered queues for Linux to use. I would like to EXCLUDE the filtered queues so Windows users cannot use them, but am not sure how to do this within the smb.conf. Thanks in advance for any assistance, -- Rory Vieira rory dot vieira at

Hi, I am writing an Perl application that automatically mounts a samba directory. But I would like to know if that directory is already mounted by samba (i.e. in multiple logins, that directory could be mounted only on the first login) ?

Hi Group, We use a simple logon script to map drives for our users. If we put the following line: net use /delete * /yes then no drives are mapped on the workstations. If we rem it out, the script works fine. Full script below: net use /delete * /yes net use e: \\server5\peachtree net use w: \\server5\contract_maintenance net use t: \\server5\fleet net use x: \\server5\allusers net use u:

Hi, I'm using Syslinux 3.11 on a 1Gb USB Stick. The stick has 1 partition in FAT16. I'm experimenting with initramfs stuff, and just built a small tree (round 2.2M). I just inserted the kernel modules into that tree, and it became pretty large, with a resulting bzImage of 16.2Mb!!! When I try to start that kernel, I get an error: Invalid or corrupt kernel image. Any idea's on this?

Hi, What is the latest version of Samba for SuSE 9.0, and where can I find it. Shame support was dropped for this one... still being used a lot... -- Rory Vieira rory dot vieira at gmail dot com

Hello, I can't connect to my SAMBA server. Testparm not report error. I test the IP settings, I can Ping the server from any PC, I can Ping the PC from the SAMBA server, I can Ping Localhost or servername on the SAMBA server, But when I do a 'ps -ef' only the smbd is started.

Hi list, I have set up two Samba PDC networks for work with win XP clients. Each network is small, about 15 clients and three printers. Each uses a different distro (don't ask)--one is mandriva 2006 the other is debian sarge. Both have all updates. Both have working wins and dns on Linux. Mostly things work well, but I am unable to change passwords from the XP clients. The client will

Hi, I am trying to configure Samba as blocking virus transfer so that shares can be safe. I am using redhat el3 and fc4. I want to install samba-vscan, clamd. I have tried to install it from tar packages but i couldn't succeed it. I have read some HOWTO's but I still face the same problems. Are there any documents that explain exactly how its going to be? Thanks Okan Bostan

Hey folks, I am seeing this issue with machines on which I do I/O ops thru cbios mode. I noticed some of the reads at high sectors seem to be returning the wrong data even though the op itself succeds. The output of the int 13 call returns EFLAGS: 0x246 (CF is 0) and EAX is 0x1, which indicates success according to ralph brown's int13/02h page. The I/O code is exactly the same as the one in

Hi. Are there any gotchas to installing SYSLINUX in the PBR of a partition, and not the MBR of the overall hard drive? The reason I want to do this, is to take my "PXE-on-a-disk" project, and install it simply into one very small (1MB or so) FAT16 partition. ftp://ftp.scyld.com/private/jlehan/pxe-on-a-disk.html This partition would be placed near the very beginning of the drive.

Hello list, any try the new memtest86 v3.2 with isolinux 3.11 cd and pxeboot? How is the proper way to chainload memtest86 I was tried: label memtest kernel memtest.bin but, nothing happens just a weird hang (my older versions of memtest hangs too). Anyway chainloading in a floppy image with memdisk on CD or pxeboot was fine but if I use memory to emulate a floppy I was not using this memory

Hi, I'm unable to utilize extlinux properly.

Hi, I subscribed just to get this solved :) I'm using the latest Samba i.c.w. CUPS. For some reason all prints that are finished are still in the printer queue seen from windows. However, going to the CUPS queue on port 631, its' all clear... Any idea's on how to solve this tiny matter??? Cheers, -- Rory Vieira rory dot vieira at gmail dot com

Hi, One of my customers is running a pretty old Redhat 8 (Psyche) server with Samba 2.2.something (I think 7). Next week I'm planned to upgrade his Redhat platform to SuSE 9.3 and also update his samba to 3.0.23b. My biggest worry is that this customer has about 14 workstations already in the 2.2.x domain. I would like to know WHAT to do so I won't have to re-add all those machines

I send to the list the perl script to make the inverse of sys2ansi.pl and convert any ansi file to syslinux format. I recommend jave editor to deal with ascii arts and ascii fonts www.jave.de and for painting colours over the ascii file, the ansieditor from http://www.win.ua.ac.be/~wschrep/ansied/ with the patch attached for import and export to syslinux directly and for colour paint mode to

Hi, I saw a post you made on a forum quite some time ago about booting linux off a USB drive with compatible bios via ISOlinux. I'm currently trying to do the same thing and keep running into problems with my initrd. This is probably caused by the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing! I was wondering if you found any useful info on the net you could point me in the
