On the subject, /. had last night a pointer to an ARM based ATX board:

reduce the heating problems of a 1U server. No on-board Ethernet,
unfortunately.

Furthermore and likewise, when I want to move my main pubic Website
from the machine called caleddon to the machine called beesianum (as I
did a few weeks ago), I don't want to have to tell everyone whose site
points to mine to rewrite their URLs.

A server serving static web pages surely doesn't; a server serving
data-driven pages off a database probably doesn't (depending on what
it's doing to select content). I posted a pointer up-thread somewhere
to a StrongARM based mobo, which sounds ideal.

yes, but many systems are larger than 4GB and tapes haven't kept
pace -- at least not at affordable prices.
my /home hasn't exceeded the size of a cd-rom yet. it's not that much

my plextor cd-r is rock solid at 8x write -- that's about 10 minutes
per full cd-rom. new ones do 12x.

yes. everytime redhat comes out with a new version i do it. it helps

Hi Ron,
you should provide with more details about you problem.
Does your Mitsumi CD Writer SCSI or IDE?
What steps did you try and what responce of system was?
Did you check output of "dmesg" command?
Did you check /var/log/boot and /var/log/messages files?
Did you look into /proc directory and check files which could
be related to your drive?
If it SCSI did you check that your SCSI card recognized and
works?
Without additional information it will difficult to help as
many people have diffrent models and many of them had
similar problems. But only few have Mitsumi CD Writer.
So, you will able to get help from only this few people
who have similar drive and own information which I
meantioned above.
Main steps which you should complete to get it working:
1. Get bus interface working - SCSI card support or SCSI
emulation.
2. Load or may be compile and load "sg" module (GENERIC SCSI)
which support CD (RE)Writers/Scanners.
3. Use cdrecord or similar software to burn CDs.

Hi there,
I had a similar problem and it was related to that I changed order of disks on
IDE chain. Solution was very simple - edit /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo. The
matter of the problem is that lilo loader point to wrong partition to load
kernel. I hope that everyone of you keep linux bootable floppy for case like
this ;-) (of cause you can use bootable CD as well.)

First, don't use the root account for doing user-level things like posting
news! That's not what it's for, and using root for non-root things will
bite you in the arse eventually.
This is what I put into /etc/conf.modules :
alias char-major-14 cs4232
post-install cs4232 modprobe "-k" opl3
options cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9
options opl3 io=0x388
The io= value may not be correct, try 0x530 as well.

Depends on what you consider affordable.
My DDS-2 drive cost $650. I consider that affordable, since this drive
will probably remain in use for many years. I expect to transfer it
into newer computers as I upgrade them.
When I need to replace it (either because it stops working or I just
want a larger drive) I fully expect to spend between $500 and $1000 for
the drive.
Sure it's a lot of money up front, but this is a one-shot expense for a
device that will be used for years.

It will still require an hour to write the 7 discs needed to do a full
backup of 4G of data. Longer if you have even more to do.

I haven't experienced this.
When new distributions come out, I just run the update-installer that
comes with the CD, and then manually update any RPMs that it didn't
cover. Takes about an hour.
The stuff I compile myself usually does not require rebuilding. If libc
changes so much that it breaks existing apps, I just leave the old
version in place. When the application gets updated, I'll recompile it,
and it will use the new libc at that time. If it ain't broke, don't fix
it.

Hi Bruno,
just yesterday I got my scanner (UMAX 2400S SCSI) running. I checked your scanner
should be supported although driver is in beta state. So, I hope that you also
have SCSI scanner as I do.
In this case you should load (compile and load module) for your SCSI card and load
module sg.
So, at this point check /proc/scsi/scsi file that your scanner has been detected.
If not check what could cause a problem. In my case I had to buy another SCSI card
and cable as SCSI card wich goes with scanner has bad support under Linux. If it's
ok try to use xscanimage - I must confess that I had some problems with this
program - In kernel 2.3.99 I got working original SCSI card but was able to scan
only once - after that to scan another picture I had to restart computer.
xscanimage should works for you at least once from my experience - just warn that
you can have a problem at this step. So, I downloaded and compile xsane which
works much better for me. Now I have only problem with my printer Epson Stylus
Color 860. If I print scanned photo which looks on the screen not bad (although
I had to scan it only in 8bit color depth) after printing looks not so bright as
original. But really I didn't spend too much time to find and resolve problem -
I use kernel 2.4-test2 and software which in development state - so nothing
strange that I get some unstability.

I have no experience of such a keyboard or setkeycodes, but you might
find loadkeys more useful, see "man loadkeys" for more info. I have used
that one to rearrange the layout of a keyboard.

You might want to try xev and xmodmap to use the keys in X.

This probably depend upon what your chat script looks like. Make sure
that your chat-script behaves as you would do if you logged in manually.
Try to log in manually and start ppp from minicom, then you will know
what your chat-script should look like. I have an old chatscript which
looks like this:
-8<----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# This is part 2 of the ppp-on script. It will perform the connection
# protocol for the desired connection.
#
exec chat -v \
TIMEOUT 3 \
ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
'' \rATZ1 \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK ATDT$TELEPHONE \
CONNECT '' \
rname: $ACCOUNT \
sword: $PASSWORD \
'ipnet>' ppp
-8<------------------------------------------------------------------
The second column contains answers for prompts in the first column. It
seems as if your script doesn't know what to answer to
"Backup Authentication".
> I know this has to do with PAP however,
With PAP your script should look a little bit different:
-8<--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# This is part 2 of the ppp-on script. It will perform the connection
# protocol for the desired connection.
#
exec chat -v \
TIMEOUT 3 \
ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
'' \rATZ1 \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK ATDT$TELEPHONE \
CONNECT ''
-8<--------------------------------------------------------------
It doesn't contain much, but then you should start pppd with some extra
switches and use a file called pap-secrets.
Example ppp-on:
-8<---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# These are the parameters. Change as needed.
TELEPHONE=1234567 # The telephone number for the connection
ACCOUNT=my_id # The account name for logon
LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0 # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0 # Remote IP address if desired.
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 # The proper netmask if needed
# Export them so that they will be available at 'ppp-on-dialer' time.
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT
DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer.pap
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug lock modem crtscts /dev/modem 115200 \
asyncmap 0 kdebug 0 $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
noipdefault netmask $NETMASK defaultroute connect \
$DIALER_SCRIPT remotename isp user $ACCOUNT
-8<---------------------------------------------------------------
Example pap-secrets:
-8<---------------------------------------------------------------
# user server secret addrs
my_id isp my_secret_password
-8<---------------------------------------------------------------
The above works fine with my modem connections, I suppose it should work
with your cable modem also. For more info, se the file README.linux
which is included with pppd. In Slackware, that file is located in
/usr/doc/ppp-version-number

I'm runnig Slackware 7.0 (kernel 2.2.13) and I've this same printer.
In order to print .ps files, I've made this script:
#!/bin/bash
#I've made too: chmod 666 /dev/lp0
cat $1 | gs -q sDEVICE=stcolor -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER
-sOutputFile=/tmp/test.out -
cat /tmp/test.out > /dev/lp0 &
rm /tmp/test.out
I've named it printps and made chmod 755 printps. I've copied it to
/usr/local/bin. In order to print a file, I issue printps <file.ps>.
It's working very well. In Netscape, when I want to print something
I've put in the Printer Field just "printps" and it works.
