SNIP
There is no known fix to the F0 0F C7 C8 bug at this time. What can be
done, however, is run a program, such as the script after my signature, to
locate any and all such programs. This script can be used in single
user mode after a mysterious lockup on a multiuser Pentium system.
I hope it is possible to come up with a software fix for this problem.

Re: Sound support in kernel-image-2.0.30
why don't you simply use make-kpkg to compile the kernel? Will Lowe wrote: On Sat, 4 Oct 1997, Tom Ed White wrote: How can I find out which sound cards, if any, are supported in this kernel image? If you're using the standard debian-installed kernel, I don't think ANY are automatically supported. I want to know if I need to recompile my kernel for sound. I suspect that many of the drivers are already there, since the device file is present. There's no way to get around compiling the kernel. This isn't such a bad thing, as the kernel-install process is simple enough that a trained monkey can do it :). Assuming you've installed the kernel-source.2.0.30.deb, it's 1) determine your soundcard configuration (DMA, IRQ, addresses, etc.) 2) as root, a) cd /usr/src/linux b) make menuconfig (or make xconfig, if you're running x and tcl/tk) c) select sound and follow the prompts at this point, take a look at the other stuff in your kernel; if you don't have scsi, disable scsi support, etc makes the kernel smaller and faster --- you'll probably also want to make sound a module, unless you use your sound card 24/7 3) make dep 4) make clean 5) make zImage 6) make modules 7) make modules_install 8) mv /vmlinuz /mvlinuz.old (or some other backup name) 9) cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz 10) modify /etc/lilo.conf to have a stanze for each kernel -- keep the old one around until you've run the new one a while (you might instead make the new kernel into a boot disk, so you don't have to play with lilo.conf yet -- to do this make zdisk with a disk in the drive) 11) run lilo and then reboot Email with questions.

I cannot seem to successfully load menu entries in fvwm95 by creating
menus files in /usr/lib/menus for the following two apps:

Were you the one on IRC who complained about that too?
Sorry, but you ran away before I could answer you.
I have tried variations of the format of the menu files for both xdvi and
xpostit+. Below is the basic format for both files.
/usr/lib/menu
x11 Apps/Viewers xdvi none Xdvi /usr/X11R6/bin/xdvi
You don't tell us what the names of the files are you are creating.
The names have to match installed packages. Note that xdvi and
xpostit+ are not names of debian packages (for xdvi, use tetex-bin,
the other I don't know).
Note: In my file heirarchy their is this
/usr/bin/X11-which is a link to... /usr/X11R6/bin? does this have any
bearing on this problem?
No.
