1) I've noticed modules in the source path.
2) My understanding was that if I choose 'y", the subsystem
would be built into the kernel, then the module would not
be needed. If I wanted modules, I would have to specify
m.
So it seems like modules are being built even though I don't want them
( during make bzImage ) and modules are not being install when I don't
want them.
The question is how do get the modules actually buyilt in the kernel
and not have to rely on the externel module files.

Solved. All thanks to Thomas Vogler!!
The program does work and multi-threading using pthread does execute both
threads simultaneously. I thought there was a problem because apparently 10
loops were executed so fast that 1st thread finished before 2nd thread can
even start... I need to try >> 1000 before i see "hello world hello world
..."

Right. The regular Linux Telnet client doesn't do anything at all with
printer on/off escape sequences, and as far as I know, neither does the
xterm window nor the console driver. If they did, you probably would not
be asking about it.

Of course the output is synchronous because you have it protected by a
mutex. A mutex is like a hall pass in school. Only one person can use
the hall pass to go to the bathroom at a time.

Subject: How to extract single file from .rpm?
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2001 09:02:11 -0800
Can this be done? I spent a while looking through all the RPM options,
and wound up having to install the RPM relocated to a temp directory,
where I could then copy the file out from the whole bunch. The RPM
wasn't relocatable so I couldn't use --prefix, so I had to --relocate
several target directories and --badreloc too. I had to build a 3-line
long command! When you start entering 3-line commands, you know your
involvement in this Linux thing has gone too far. :-D
It seems there must be a more straightforward way to get a single
specific file out of an RPM (or regexp) and send it where I want it to
go.
Thanks for input.

If you poke around a little more on rpm.org you'll realize that there
is *no* documentation *at all* more recent than a couple of years
old. This is despite the opening statement on the site that,
``This site aims to bring you the latest and most up to date information on
the RPM software packaging tool which is taking the world by storm. ''
Many consider rpm 4 an experimental release. Unfortunately,
the hackers writing rpm don't have the professionalism to understand
the necessity of distributing adequate documentation.
Welcome to Linux. Unfortunately, this is par for the course.
A lot of your time will be spent struggling with largely undocumented
software that doesn't work right. If you don't have the stomach for
that, go back to Windows.

There is a version of rpm intended to bridge from version 3 to 4. (If
I remember, it's version 3.05 or 3.06 -- better double check.) With
this version you'll be able to install rpm's created with rpm 4.x

Thanks Frank It worked great. I noticed that This version of C-Kermit
is licensed as "Open Source" so there should be no problem using it on
Linux boxes, right? I also noticed that you are one of the authors of
the "Using C-Kermit" Book. Good job.
I assure you that we will be purchasing copies of this book to help
you in the ongoing work in C-Kermit.
Steven.

You'll get no argument out of me about democrats being crooks. After all, I
live in Chicago, the home base of crooked Dems.
What sucks is that the GOP is not one bit - let alone one byte - above the
criminality of the Dems. Chances are, we will NEVER know the outcome of the
Florida debacle, due to the stupid voters too stupid to operate a fucking
stylus.
Early on with the debacle, I came to accept Bush v.2.0 as the winner. I did
not necessarily like the result, but I accepted the result. Something has to
be said about the sorters being fair, even if I didn't like the result. The
original recount was a done deal. It should have ended there, once the sorters
were done counting.
Where I work, we have lots of mail sorting machines, so I'm plenty familiar
with sorters. Sorters are unbiased barring a crooked programmer. All the bad
chads are ignored with the counting machines, no matter the candidate the bad
chad is for. It's the only fair way to count the votes, given the voting
apparatus used.
In any case, vote counting machines should be open source, so anyone can
inspect the sourcecode to prevent any chance of a crook programmer tampering
with an election. We may never have to worry about mail sorters, but vote
counting machines have to be open source to ensure election fairness in all
future elections.

It is bad, I agree. There are some defenses, but not many.
If you use bzip2 instead of gzip, you can recover nondamaged segments.
I believe you can then get the tar records back out again, though

Date: 19 Feb 2001 17:14:59 GMT
Hi,
I am trying to install Slackware 7.1 on my PC on the third hard
disk, but I couldn't get LILO to work correctly.
Configuration :
Primary Master : 1.7G (Win98, FAT 32)
Primary Slave : 3.2G (Win98, FAT 32)
Secondary Master : CD ROM
Secondary Slave : 13G (Linux)
The 13G hard disk is dedicated for Linux, only 2 partitions are
created : / and swap (150M or so).
I think the LILO version is new enough to handle >1024 cylinder,
it is version 21.6-1, but I am not sure about my motherboard.
It is a very old ASUS T2P4
It is a very old ASUS T2P4 (bios 0207 beta 2) running a K6-2 450
with 128Meg RAM.
Anyway, every time I re-run LILO, it gives the following error :
Warning: BIOS drive 0x83 may not be accessible
Warning: BIOS drive 0x83 may not be accessible
Warning: BIOS drive 0x83 may not be accessible
Warning: BIOS drive 0x83 may not be accessible

Added linux *
Added dos
Can someone tell me if there is anything I can do ? Will it solve the
problem if I make the 13G hard disk Primary Master ?

And the FL debacle added new words to American English. Those multiple choice

As far as the FL debacle itself, we didn't need any three-count. The recount
was enough already.

Never heard of fwtmp, you could rip of something from wtmp like this:

It's been a while, but I believe you just need to be sure that all
