Huh? No!
Please post responses AT THE BOTTOM of a post. If you post an answer above 
a question, people have to read bottom-to-top which is a pain in the ass. 
Also, please avoid giving answers which are definitively wrong.

You are correct, Windows overwrites the MBR without asking. Sorry I do not 
have the time right now to provide a detailed answer, but at least a 
general guide:
1. Boot from the Red Hat Linux CD's with "linux rescue" at the 
boot prompt. Once the rescue disk functionality boots up, you will be able 
to access your normal Linux partitions by mounting them (I believe you can 
find them in /mnt/sysimage).
2. Mount the /boot partition, or the / partition if you do not 
have one.
3. Run "grub-install /dev/hda" (assuming hda is the right drive, 
of course).
Done.
Please search the Red Hat site or Google for better, more detailed 
instructions than this... I am in a hurry and there may be something wrong 
there. Search for "reinstall grub" or something like that. But it *is* an 
easy process, with no tweaking or kernel hacking necessary.
Cheers,

boot from thelinux cd and try to upgrade any kernel package. You should
find an option to fiddle with the boot loader for it to give you an
option for the dual boot.

Subject: RH 9 dual boot problem
I am trying to set up a dual boot RH 9 workstation. I made the
mistake of loading RH 9 first, and then loading Windows XP.
Now, Windows ALWAYS boots, and I can only get RH to
run by booting from a floppy. When I installed RH, I set GRUB
up to allow either Windows or RH to be selected, but Windows
must have overwritten the MBR. Is there an easy way to restore
the RH boot record back into the MBR, other than reloading
RH again??
Thanks
BDavis
Actually, it is easier than all that. Take a look at the man page on
grub-install. This replaces the Windows boot track with the grub boot
track. grub will then read the /boot/grub.conf file to find all its
pieces.

Don't know about antivirus, but I hear raves for Smoothwall. Only,
unless you purchase the commercial product, forget about using it on

Subject: 3Com U.S. Robotics 56k Message Modem (External) - Newbie
question
To: "Redhat-List" 
Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hi
I recently purchased the above external modem as my internal modem was
apparently a softmodem and I didn't have the skill to make it work with
RedHat 9.
I have used the Internet Configuration Wizard to set up the modem, when I
click on "activate" it says "failed to activate ppp0 with error 8. But I
see light flashing on the modem.
I have also set up kppp and when I click on connect it says "modem ready" (I
see lights flashing on the modem), then it says "initalising modem" and
seems to get stuck. The TR light on the modem remains on then.
TR in the book says 'ON if modem receives a DTR signal from computer.
Always on (modem ignores DTR) if the DTR override is ON (&DO)' I'm not sure
what that means. I purchased the modem second user, so I'm wondering if it
is a problem with the modem.
I don't believe it is the serial port as I have 2, one which is being used
by my mouse. I have tried swapping them over and the mouse still works.
Any help gratefully received. Further specific questions are:
1. Where do I find out what the error codes mean?
2. Did I buy the wrong type of external modem?
Regards
Janet

I am not sure what the ppp0 error 8 is. And tt has been several years
since I used a modem but the switches should be set to 1,3,5 down and
the rest up. (1) DTR flow control, (3) Display Result Codes, (4) Auto
Answer (also can be overriden with ATS0= or 0 for off.
I would try to talk to the modem directly through "minicom -s". You will
need to tell it which port you are on.
Once minicom is running try typing the following: "AT&F1E1&W". That
should set the mode to factory default and store it in it's first NVRAM
location. You should get an "OK" back. If you don't get an OK try to
type "AT" and see if you get an OK. You should also see the "TR" and
"RD" lights flash. If any of this does not happen there maybe a physical
problem.
If you get an OK then the problem is probably in your PPP setup.

And just to add to that, up2date will solve dependencies as well.

Does anyone have any experience with LDAP? I have an LDAP server setup

other users and change passwords. I don't want them to be able to
delete users. Right now, my slapd.conf file contains the following
