Hi, I put the sipb linux installer (the one in /mit/linux/rh-6.2/bootnet.img)
on a disk, booted my machine, and everything installed. I did have to make the
two following changes after installing
in /etc/athena/rc.conf, I had to change the line
HOST=;
to
HOST=cormorant.lcs.mit.edu;
(my hostname)
in /etc/resolv.conf, I had to change the
nameserver 18.60.0.170
to
nameserver 127.0.0.1
I agreed with helpful guy from SIPB that the second problem was due to a typo
on my part.
I also have to type "linux x86_single_nr=1" at the boot prompt in order to get
my machine to boot successfully. That's because my machine configuration is
AMD Athlon 700 Mhz
Intel EtherExpress Pro 100
256 Megs RAM
20 G hard drive
If there are any questions that I could be of help with, please email me.
John
