    I am a newbie in the Linux world. I installed Redhat (at least tried doing a dual boot) with XP. Once the computer rebooted I do not see an option to logon to XP/Dos. Any help is greatly appreciated. I was on Windows XP (NTFS Partition). Regards,

    Hello everyone, I am trying to install Java JRE 1.3 (also tried 1.4) to work with my Linux 8.0 (fresh install). Having no prior knowledge of Linux I followed the instructions provided by Sun website step-by-step. Basically I did not get any error message during install but when I type java -version, I get error message stating cannot find the Command file. I see the /usr/java folder and in there there is a j2re-1_3_1_06/bin folder that has a java file. Is there a step missing? Do I need to set any environments? Appreciate your response. Asim

    punkisdead, What is the difference b/w putting it in .bashrc or /etc/profile? Appreciate your help. Asim

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all your help. I tried changing the lilo.conf file but that didn't seem to help me either. I guess I might have screwed up somewhere in the install. I went ahead and fixed my Windows XP by fixing the MBR. Once I was able to boot back to XP, I killed the Linux partitions. I decided then it is not the time for me to get into Linux. Funny thing is I heard that Redhat 8.0 is out Last night I tried doing a dual boot with Red Hat 8.0, and it worked like a charm. With 7.1 I was not able to fix my video config whereas 8.0 had the right drivers Hooooah!!! I am now trying to figure out Linux Is there something similar to .profile (Unix uses this for setting up environment I believe)? Appreciate your help. Asim

    Actually you get an option to use Grub or Lilo. I had gone with Lilo. I modified the Lilo script but it still doesn't seem to give me an option to boot to XP. Here is what my lilo.conf file looks like -> boot=/dev/hda7 map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message lba32 default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda8 other=/dev/hda1 label=xp append="hdc=ide-scsi" Appreciate your response.
