download redhat 9.0 iso

[pspada]

Good for you. But no one gets to install a share on my machine under any circumstances. Besides, I was able to pull it down at about 400bps without bt.

never heard of BT til after reading this thread. since it sucks up all the download and upload bandwidth, that now explains why when my roommate downloads anime with BT, the bandwidth left over on our dsl line boggs down to 23kps or less going to my computer. i've been trying to figure out how to limit his bandwidth and leave some for me.

also, what else is availabe through BT besides anime?

I was getting the isoz at over 300K/s... took under 2 hours ^_^

Yes, RH will make it's own partitions. It will automatically do this for you as part of the installation process. If you have an existing Windows partition that takes up the whole drive, you might want to resize it with something like Partition Magic first, then install RH, and it will setup its own partitions in the empty space.

and my network card isn't on their list of eithernet cards either...so what's that mean? I'm screwed? no internet from redhat?

Redhat, as well as a lot of newer linux distros, does a surprising amount of autodetection and autoconfiguration. I remember back in the day when... well, it wasn't pretty, I'll leave it at that.

As for your network card, find out what chipset it uses or do a Google search for the card model and redhat. Chances are good that it's supported, it just might be listed under something other than what you're looking for.

alright, got internet now...

now just to get it to work on my Gateway FPD1830 LCD monitor instead of this junk 14" I had laying around.

Looks like it automatically sets the frequency wrong or something.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

dang it, I can't take it anymore.

1st, no linux drivers for my santacruz
2nd, can't even download drivers for the radeon because I can't get a friggin display on the screen.

I have a Ti 4600 and Envision 19" monitor, and the graphical install shell fails for me too. Just type "text" (or "text expert")at the : prompt, and you'll get the non-graphical installation.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

nah, already uninstalled the dang thing. don't have the patience for it.

im interested in learning more about linux and the like, there are tons of different linux os's though, which are good for which?

off the top of my head i can name slackware, redhat, mandrake, debian, well ok thats 4, but last week when i cared i could name like 30. damn you alcohol + short term memory = 0.

any website or anything to read about?

I am quite interested in learning about the partitioning and what to do etc, i have tons of harddrives, and wouldnt mind adding a linux drive, or making a linuxbox out of this 450mhz.

I use BitTorrent for porn. Redhat ISOs pssssh, waste of time.

BIOS - 1st boot as cd, getting "NTLDR is missing" on blank hard drive. On 2nd hard drive w/ win2k, (BIOS - cd 1st boot, hd0 2nd boot) the system boots up in win2k, like the RH 9.0 cd is not even there.

That drive must have had NT and NTFS on it at one time. Boot with a Win98 boot disk, and remove all partitions especially the non-dos one(s), leaving the drive blank. then RH9 should be able to overwrite the MBR properly, but you will need to allow it to create it's own partitions, or you can do so manually.

Good stuff .. got 2 ISOs so far

 

[getumfast]

3 full ISO's in just over 2 hours.

That is as fast as I can d/l from an enterprise connection.
