Hi everyone,
I read the FAQ and still am unsure about some of the linux setups:-
1) It was mentioned in the faq saying that Linux can only handles up to
62 meg partitions, and some are saying that make the whole hardrive
into one partition, do they mean the linux extended (e instead of p
in fdisk) can i boot off this extended partition? any cons?
2) LILO- How do i co-exist dos and linux using lilo?? I couldn't get back
to dos once i let linux take over using lilo in making the boot diskette.
I want to be able to boot off from both.
3) easy one: how can i find out how much disk space i have left???
4) is find suppose to find all the sub directories for the file i name??
if not, is there a command that does that??
5) SLIP: what is it capable of??
Can I display all the X-windows stuffs via SLIP on my computer?
(ie, can i redirect displays from a server via SLIP onto my computer)
can i ftp or telnet using SLIP?? how?
6) Lastly, is there some way that i can put a background process in a
different window??
eg, say I telnet from my computer and ran Emacs, can I make Emacs
to appear in a different window?
any response to any of the above questions would be really appreciated
thanx in advance, Sam
