However, one of the key features of Netware is that clients for all OSs are available. Including Linux. You can even run a Netware server under Linux. I've done this in the remote past.;-) You can install a Netware client. Whether this will work with the mofrem modern releases of Linux, or on a modern Netware server is another thing. This page at Caldera (www.caldera.com) should get you started. That should also lead you to their FTP server which will have the software. |

| 262759 | 2004-08-19 03:30:00 | Is that software free? The network drive I'm trying to get to is my document files on the AUT server. I have a password and login etc, etc, but yeah, can't seem to see it. I'm having a new problem now... I get home and since I reinstalled windows it wiped grub off the boot menu. Now when I try to rescue using the SuSE disk, it says Cannot mount root fs. That was off the SuSE rescue boot and ATOMICTV disk. Also, how can I mount a USB pendrive? Whats the name thingy? (hda7, hdb3 etc, etc) Cheers |

Are you chrooting to your HDD / from the CD? > Also, how can I mount a USB pendrive? Whats the name > thingy? (hda7, hdb3 etc, etc) USB pendrives are sdx's. If you plug your pendrive in, and then enter in a console window dmesg you should see the device recognised (look at end of output) and it will be called sdx. Example of when I plug in my USB pendrive: usb 1-6.1: new high speed USB device using address 19 scsi14 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: USB 2.0 Model: Flash Disk Rev: PROL Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sdb: 512000 512-byte hdwr sectors (262 MB) Someone recently was complaining how SuSE handles USB pendrives, so have a search of this forum as well. Typically, you make a mount point for it under /mnt and then mount the device. You should be able to then view the drive contents from the /mnt/{mountpoint} directory or make a icon on the desktop which points to this mount point. Eg: mkdir /mnt/usbpen mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usbpen You can also get all fancy and edit your fstab as well: /dev/sdb /mnt/usbpen auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 |

| 262762 | 2004-08-19 08:58:00 | Hmmm.... Might pay to download the Gentoo Install Disc. Its probably the smallest Disc I know of that will let you do what you need (Be it re-install GRUB). You can follow the instructions from the Gentoo Handbook to properly mount /mnt/suse (It'll be /mnt/gentoo in the handbook but you're just mounting your rootfs in /mnt/gentoo so who cares what its called). You'll want /mnt/gentoo/proc mounted, perhaps mount --bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev You'll then want to mount /boot From there: chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash And then sort out re-installing GRUB. Dont forget to cat /proc/partitions to get the list of partitions and then just sort out which is swap, /boot, /, windows etc Hope this helps Chill. |
