Intro to Linux

1.  Dual-Booting Linux from the Windows NT/2000/XP boot menu.
      Enter dd if=<location of Linux boot sector> of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
     (For instance, if Linux is on /dev/hda2,  if=/dev/hda2)
     Copy the bootsect.lnx file to the NT/2000/XP system partition.
      Modify the Windows BOOT.INI file adding the following:
       C:\bootsect.lnx = "Linux"
     See http://classes.csumb.edu/CST/CST434-01/world/DualBoot.html

2. Mandrake Linux

•   Share your home directory under Samba through GUI interface
           (hint:  try right-click Property options in KDE File Manager)
           (Command-line, see
            http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/muo/connect/csamba4.html)
         Check Samba configuration settings with Webmin and share another directory.       
  
      Try Virtual Network Connection with Linux and Windows machines
      (Check out Mandrake 9.2 "Windows Terminal" feature and see if works without
       third-party VNC client for Windows)
     
  
•    Setting up a DHCP Server with Webmin under Mandrake 9.2
  
     (See http://www.telcor.gob.ni/BCS/technology/os/caldera/ch10.html)
  
     For command-line setup under RH Linux, see Jang, p. 690-696
     and http://www.compsci.buu.ac.th/docs/dhcp/HOWTO/x369.html#AEN382
  
  
•   Setting up a Samba Server with Webmin
