Re: [Digital BW] Red Hat 9 and QTR install problem

2003-12-31 by Barry Kelsall

Thank you very much, Roger. I did d/l WebMin from the ftp site. I'll get
around to replacing my installed copy of WebMin in the next few days, but at
the moment my plate is full. I'm going to try to salvage this RH9 install,
because really the only thing I care about is getting QTR running. Maybe it
is the cheap hardware in my Linux box, though the system has been pretty
stable so far (I got a cheap AMD/ECS Mb combo & 256 MB RAM at Fry's &
finished the system with leftover parts). After some degree of wrestling I
got SAMBA to work, & I have a keyboard/mouse/video switch to share with my
P4 Win2K box. So I feel I am pretty close...

I do have another HD lying around, so I may still try another clean install
on it as you suggest.

Again, thanks for your help!
-Barry

Barry, it sounds to me like a clean reinstall of red hat is in order. I have
the older version of webmin that does work with red hat 9. I'll put it on a
ftp site for you and you can download it from there.

I'm surprised that red hat has been such a problem since it was the easiest
installation of the distros I have tried, but that is on my Linux box. I
have come to the conclusion that Linux is far from a finished product and
individual idiosyncrasies of systems are real. On the other hand I can
remember going through multiple reinstalls with Win 98 and WinME before it
would take.

The results are worth the pain.

Roger
