Hi!!
First of all I want to say thanks to you Craig for help.
And everyone else's help will bee gratefully accepted!!! ^_^
I've all the things as you told me. But there is some little "spikes" that
are still left.
1) My FC5 boot perfectly, with "OK" word at all lines.
----
good - I don't see a question here
----
2) I still have the "PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 7 of bridge
0000:00:1c.0" lines out there on my screen, I don't know what does it mean
but I really want to discover.
----
I don't know
----
3) as for "tail /var/log/messages" when I've entered this command the answer
I got, was "the folder not found"... any ideas why is it so, and how can I
view my logs at rescue mode if I don't have this folder?
----
if you are in rescue mode...the path would
be /mnt/sysimage/var/log/messages unless you 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' in
which case, it would be where it's supposed to be. chroot command
changes the root point
----
4) When I logged on to my KDE, firstly I tried to set up some internet
gateway trough my PC computer. It was easy... but when Itried to enter
"ifconfig eth0" command it said that command was not found. So here is my
question:"How do I enable commands?"
----
those things aren't typical for a user environment so a user would not
generally know or have the path to access.

If you were to 'su -' (change to root user using the su command and
adding the "-" to obtain root's environment/shell, the program ifconfig
would be accessible as root has both /sbin and /usr/sbin in it's path
----
5) Finnaly, I asking for some referense about the programs which can let me
to see the shared folders between two PC's, in windows<--->linux scheme and
linux<-->linux one. Now I have win XP installed on my PC computer and linux
at laptop. so what do need to use with this kind of sceme? I tried samba but
as I couldn't actually understand what this program is suit for? I just want
to see some shared files of linux machine at win XP and inside out.
----
samba is indeed weapon of choice - for information on samba, see the 'By
Example' from the official samba documentation as any paraphrasing would
likely do a disservice...

Thnx again for helping!!!! :))))

all of those things introduce a variable that I probably can't account
for but why not use Windows to download and copy the pcmciautils rpm
file onto the disk and put onto any/all of them (at the root level, not
inside any folder).

all of the commands that you need to type are inside single quotes ' -
do not type the quotes...

To boot into rescue mode...

Stick in CD#1 and start up the laptop.

type 'linux rescue' at the boot prompt

follow the instructions which will have you do something like this...

'chroot /mnt/sysimage'

at this point, you are running your install of linux.

Attach the USB compact flash or your mp3 player.

'tail /var/log/messages' to see what device is assigned the the device
you just attached (something like /dev/sda will likely be assigned - if
it's different i.e. /dev/sdb then you will have to adjust the following
instructions)

mkdir /mnt/usbdisk

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

rpm -Uvh /mnt/usbdisk pcmciautils*

(you can verify the file on your usbdisk with
'ls -l /mnt/usbdisk/pcmciautils*' )

'exit'
'exit'

It should be installed and hopefully a reboot will work

Ok now, as you said I dodn't have any of my network connections yet....
As
for Floppy drive, I haven't this one at my laptop too. BUT! Can I use my
MP3 instead of disk-on-key (it's Beat Box MP3 player and it connects
trough
the USB)? I have even some "Compact Flash" card from my digital
fotocamera
and suitable card reader for it (USB too), or I still need some disk on
key
stuff? So now you may tell me how will I continue....

It would be so simple if you had networking going but much much harder
without.

Do you have a floppy or USB flash disk that you can download the
pcmciautils onto with your Windows system?

Hi every one!!! :)

I just still asking for help for my topic, and... I don't want to
become
insolent, and I realize that you are busy people... but is there
someone
who
can sacrifice about 5 minutes of his time for giving me some step by
step
explanations about working at the Linux Rescue mode and installing
this
prm
package it was talked before? I'll really appreciate this. Thanks in
advance. ^_^

I've read about this rpm and even saw the ftp site. You'll maybe
want
to kill me... But how can I install it with yum? I must to be
connect
to the internet or what? Cause I haven't made any of my network
connections yet. Or I just can download this rpm in WIN XP and then
burn it on a CD and install it? Arghhhh I'm such a lame, I'm
felling
such shame cause all this. Couldn't you just write some step by
step
explanation? I didn't work in rescue mode before but I want to
learn
about it, I've looked over the NET to find some topics about but it
was useless, so if you have some link to give me, it will be
helpful!!! But still I need some explanation about the installation
of this rpm package.

Ivan.

Hello, Ivan
Right now I need to take a nap. But if no one else has written you
any
detailed instructions on how to install the fixed pcmciautils RPM
while
in Linux Rescue mode, I will try to help you later.
