Linux and Dos BBS over lan?

Post by Kayne_Kru » Mon, 06 Feb 1995 11:30:58



Well Heres what I wanna do,  If at all possible.   I would like anyone that
could tell me how I would go about doing this over two NE2000 NodeRunners.  
We have the dos Lantastic, and the Linux server. I would just leave the
Linux server up, but Users didnt like it too well, they wanted a more user
freindly enviroment.  I've heard that Lantastic does support IPX.  But now
heres the catch, The bbs software doesnt support lans that I know of.  We
Are running pipeline (vision/2).  Does/has anyone done such a successful
setup of this or something similar?  I want to be able to access the
remote(linux) server from the bbs, or vise versa, maybe telnet, ftp between
the two, until we get actual net access.

1. lilo error L BB BB BB BB BB

Hello,
I am trying to install debian potato on an elderly system, where
hda-disk is 120MByte and therefore shall host only the /boot - section,
which is mounted to a
10MByte-Partition (/hda1). The rest resides on hde, which a 30GB-HD on
an
promise-controller.

My Problem: After installing debian with some boot parameters for the
controller
and the hde-disk it boots well from the rescue-floppy, but not from hard
disk.
Lilo hangs, showing on the screen:
L BB BB BB BB
and adding a new "BB" every second.

I checked the geometry of hda against BIOS, fdisk, bootmessage and lilo,
they
are identical. I used another location on /hda (perhaps some blocks are
bad?),
but it didn't help.

Could anyone help? What does the Lilo-Message mean? How can I fix this
problem?

Thanks,
Uwe
