boota

my fc6 automatically connects internet when it starts... i want it to manually connect/disconnect to the internet... how can i do that???

well man i hav just took off the flight on fc6... i just used grub-install /dev/sda it gave no error but when i restarted it just had written GRUB on top left corner of the screen and nth else... then i again checked menu.lst and just removed the hash (#)from 12th row and it worked fine... i am sorry i did not giv u this code because i didnt hav that code with me and did not noted it... # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd1,6) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,6)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6) root (hd1,6) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img title WinXP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 thanks its fine now and i also installed speedtouch 330 and now i am using net from fc6. thanks once again... will come to u with some other prob later on...

i hav just installed FC6 and now i am not getting my fedora. my system just starts winxp as i start the computer... i checked the /boot/grub/menu.lst for XP and it states something like this... ....... some lines with # in start ....... default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd1,6)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core(2.6.17-1.2798.fc6) root(hd1,6) kernel /....... quiet initrd /initrd ..... title winxp rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader+1 i should tell u that i selected the harddisk on which i installed fc and unchecked other harddisk. and when it came to chose default OS booting i selected other and edited it with name winxp and other thing was it's partition was being shown on the same harddisk on which it was gonna installed but bootloader was being installed on the drive with MBR means on which i installed xp. right now i am using linux rescue command.... help me plz... can i get ur timings to come online so that i can catch u when u r online and ur msn messenger id... i wil be grateful to u...

I had not checked /boot/grub/menu.lst for XP option as i didnt know abt it... right now i hav removed fc6. let me reinstall it and then i will get to u for assistance. for the time being i am lookin ur guide... well i tried to repair my xp. and when the setup restarted first time after copying setup files even then it loaded fc6 by default and there was no menu to select from, the OS not for even single second... i must tell u that this dvd of fc6 was sent to me by third party (partner of the developers of fc6)... thats y i removed fc6 as i am currently user of windows and i am learning linux and another reason is that its my studies req... now what should i do to install bootloader in my c: drive as it is sata hard disk and having winxp. and i am installing linux on another hard disk having free space.

any1 using alcatel speedtouch 330 usb modem on rh?

thanks for replying so soon... i am using amd 4200+ with asus m2tvm board and 256 nvidia geforce card...512 mb of ram... sata 80 gb as primary and 40 gb seagate baracuda as secondary... everything is supported other than my graphics card but it still manages to go fine... i am using grub... before this i installed FC6 but it removed xp boot option and it just started to boot FC6. then i tried to update my xp but still it didnt worked. if u can tell me how to manage this prob then i will say goodbye to rh9... because FC6 loaded my graphics fine and there was no problem abt the graphics card but just booting prob was there...

my primary harddisk has xp installed and on secondary i installed RH9. when i opted for partitions to be made on existing free space i got a message that /boot may not be compatible(something like that) and it is strongly recommended to make a bootable disk. that i did nt make. now i am not getting the option to opt either linux or xp. it just boots xp by default. what should i do
