Hi all,
been trying to mount linux on a windows fat32.
lilo didnt get installed so using loadlin.
loadlin c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/loop0
doesnt seem to work and linux isnt booting.
issues a kernel panic error.
even when i try to use this loadlin c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hdax where x is 1 to 8 all combinations... same error message
any suggestions.
thanks, Prem.

You cannot mount linux on windows. You're probably trying to load linux through your windows partition.

Maybe you should tell us the exact error message. There's no way we can guess.

UMSDOS install, maybe?

But then, AFAIK, you can't do a UMSDOS mon=unt with LILO. So I guess we'll have to wait for details...

I have installed linux on a fat32 partiton, and it has created a loopback file system.

while booting linux it gives the error "kernal panic" and the system hangs.
so any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Prem.

Doesn't it say anything else with the kernel panic? That message never comes up alone. It may say something like could not find device or something like that.
My guess is that you do not have the vfat partition type compiled into your kernel. You probably have it as a module, which is why it does not work.
Since linux is on a fat32 partition, you need to have vfat compiled in. You can have ext2fs as a module instead.

Hi, How do I run any X windows application, specifically Netscape on the remote machine to which I am connected by TELNET?
Thanx in advance.

Obviously we cannot run netscape in terminal but we can use a linux x-client on one machine and run x-server on other machine. So we can run application on x-server and view the using x-client.

On your localmachine, from an xterm, type: xhost +remotehost
Then, telnet to the remote host, and type: export DISPLAY=yourhostname:0
Then, run netscape or whatever X app you want. I do it all the time.

Hey Philip, Is there any way we can RUN windows application [some Business appli.] on Diskless node. sandeep

If the windows application supports the xserver/xclient architecture, then yes. Probably with something like wine, it may be possible. I don't use windows too much, so can't say.

Can someone point out the advantage of WIN4LIN. Its costing about as-much-as windows, so where is the savings... sandeep
I wish to have 2 linux server, such that if one were to crash, the second would take over immediately. Just like PDC / BDC. Does anybody have any info / exp on this. Kindly share please. sandeep

X either doesn't start, or the display is on the server -- where it crashes (I think) if you try to give it input.

No difference. xhost +machine_wanting_to_use_X_services. Of course this would probably be a menu option somewhere.

X doesn't start? X should be running on the winbox that you're exporting your display to using export DISPLAY=winbox:0
Keep in mind, that the X server is the machine that has the monitor, keyboard, mouse and sound card. The X client is the host on which your program runs - Netscape in this case.

hiyee there luggers.....
Thx to ur help things hav worked...'-). I am posting the code so that if ny1 ever needs to make direct access to their ROM then they won't hav to mess around with stuff like i did...

A pretty visible menu option, thank Eris.

Well it works now. I don't know what the problem was -- perhaps the utter lack of running xdm on the Linux box?

No, xdm on the linux box has nothing to do with X on the win box.

Thanks, but I'm not really Discordian. Just a little bit. It seems sane to me.

No, xdm on the linux box has nothing to do with X on the win box.
Oh yes it does. I just ran Xwin32 on the winbox, and it came up with the gray screen and X cursor. Running xdm on gort got me a gui login on the winbox. This could be because I'm not using rsh and rexec but something called XDMCP.
The intent, in case I am not clear, is to run programs on gort and display on the winbox.

xdm will let you login through windows, but isn't necessary to run programs. You could use telnet/rsh/ssh/telepathy to start your program.

Hmm. telnet and rsh are disabled. I haven't downloaded the appropriate ssh thing for xwin. Telepathy is not compiled into any of the kernels, nor do I have hardware for it.
I guess I'm better off running xdm. This way we get a cool Linux desktop on Windows.

AFAIK, telepathy works with any hardware, I think it also works without hardware.

Try line - the counterpart of wine.

Umm. Yes, the guys can ssh in from the windows boxen. For that matter, *I* can ssh in from college.
Xwin uses rsh or rexec or XDMCP (radio buttons).

We don't have kernel support for it.

Heh. How about VNC? Is line better than VNC? How's the current version of wine?

line is a linux emulator for windows. Using line you can run bash, linux apps, and even a window manager all on windows. Good if you like your linux themes.

Let the machine where you have netscape installed = S. Let the machine from where you telnet to S = C.
S is a Linux box (in your case, at least). C could be running any OS, not necess. Linux.
You need to run an X server on C (not on S). The X server should be willing to accept connections from other hosts. If C is running X11, you go "xhost +S" (so C will accept connections from S).
You can use X-Win32 for running X on Windows (that way you can work on Windows (C) and telnet to Linux (S) occasionally for "serious" work (like using Netscape :) ) and also have your Linux GUI apps be "displayed on Windows" (technically, they're still running on the Linux machine)).
X-Win32 is guiltware.
(Sorry for multi-level parentheses. Am in hack mode.)
Finally, you tell S where to display graphics. You need to set the DISPLAY env. var. on S (so telnet S) - "export DISPLAY=C:0". Then just run netscape from the command prompt. That's it.
There's some confusion b/w who's the server and who's the client. Just remember, S runs the telnet service for C, and C runs the X service for S. You're sitting in front of C wanting to run netscape which is installed on S.
Thus, you can sit in front of a Windows box (to impress your pointy-haired boss) and still avail of most services from Linux. I used to hide the Linux (actually, FreeBSD) box under the table when my boss was around. :)

I think I said before. Your root partition driver is compiled as a module. If you have / on ext2fs, then make sure that your ext2fs driver is compiled into the kernel. If it is on fat32, then make sure that vfat is compiled into the kernel. You cannot have these as modules.
