RedHat BootLoader
Hi,
I have Windows XP and RedHat ES both. Last day I format windows due to problems in it, But now the BootLoader that used to come earlier is not coming. My system is directly booting Windows XP. How can I recover RedHat or what I need to do to get back the BootLoader. So that I can use both RedHat and Windows.
Thanks

Hi, I'm new to solaris and I have a question about installing solaris 10.
Does solaris during install create a /boot partition?
And if it does, is it possible to set the bootloader on this partition or will it always be on the MBR?

ppmtobmp
ppmtobmp(1) General Commands Manual ppmtobmp(1)
NAME
ppmtobmp - convert a portable pixmap into a BMP file
SYNOPSIS
ppmtobmp [-windows] [-os2] [-bpp=bits_per_pixel] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Microsoft Windows or OS/2 BMP file as output.
OPTIONS
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix and you can use a double dash in place of the single dash, GNU-style.
-windows
Tells the program to produce a Microsoft Windows BMP file. (This is the default.)
-os2 Tells the program to produce an OS/2 BMP file. (Before August 2000, this was the default).
-bpp This determines how many bits per pixel you want the BMP file to contain. Only 1, 4, 8, and 24 are possible. By default, ppmtobmp
chooses the smallest number with which it can represent all the colors in the input image. If you specify a number too small to
represent all the colors in the input image, ppmtobmp tells you and terminates. You can use ppmquant or ppmdither to reduce the
number of colors in the image.
NOTES
To get a faithful reproduction of the input image, the maxval of the input image must be 255. If it is something else, ppmtobmp the colors
in the BMP file may be slightly different from the colors in the input.
Windows icons are not BMP files. Use ppmtowinicon to create those.
