Hi all, okay I took the plunge and decided to try the Unixware 7
system. My background up to now has be all flavors of Microsoft, Os2
and Linux, but this appears to be a whole different animal :)

Okay first of all I installed the 7.01 update and nics update cause it
didn't list my nic 3c905b TX. I got that working and it recognizes the
IP address from US West Dsl service. It's dhcp but I was able to
determine the address and plug it into the Tcp/Ip configuration.

I can ping other machines within US West's router, 130.13.68.1 but
can't ping beyond that. Also Netscape out of the box says it can't
connect to anything.

Bear with my ignorance, but is there a script that I need to edit or
something else that I am overlooking?

Also I noticed that I can no longer mount a cdrom with mount -r -F
cdfs /dev/cdrom/* /mnt since I installed the 7.01 update.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Ron

A default route and a /etc/resolv.conf for DNS perhaps ?

It sounds like you do not have DNS working. Check and see what's
in /etc/resolv.conf.

Try mount -F cdfs -o ro /dev/cdrom/cd*

7.0.1 is a total waste of time.

Get at least 7.1 or if you are using big IDE drives 7.1.1

1. New Install on New HD with an Old HD Copy question

I am relatively new to using Linux and had a question about copy files
from one HD to another.

Had a Redhat 7.1 install that was working fine until I got hit with
the Linux.Slapper.Worm.  So I decided to just buy a new harddrive and
install Redhat 8.0 on it.  Now, since I was doing some webhosting on
this system, I need to pull over the files from my old HD's
/home/httpd/html dir and put it on the new HD.  Problem is, during
bootup, it always installs the old HD even though it's been put second
on the IDE chain and is SLAVE to the new HD.  Anyone have a suggestion
to make the old HD available from the new HD Redhat install so I can
just copy those files over?

If I posted this in the wrong place, my apologies.

Thanks in advance.
