  Re: I recently installed rh 7.1 on a laptop.  Apparently it  sucessfully detected my 
pcmcia modem/network card.  However now each time I reboot it is telling me the card 
has been removed but the card is still actually in.  Also I am unsure of what exactly 
to get pcmcia working. This is my first install on a laptop.  Could someone please

 I just bought a Canon PowerShot G1 a few weeks back and I have been
 happy with it.  I bought it locally and paid US $828.00 for it.
 
 I'm also very interested in this camera.  One thing, can you read the CCDraw
 file format with Linux?  I like to save in non-lossy file formats like
 .tiff, but Canon uses their own and I don't know if it can be accessed by
 Linux.  BTW, it's a realy cool format, much smaller than .tiff.

I can't check right now and won't be home until next weekend.  When I
get back I will check and make sure.

I would think you should if the file gets saved to memory like the
jpeg files do.

Hi!

In order to install the proper driver for my D-Link ethernet card, it is
said on the d-lind website to do the following:

Select COAS from the KDE menu
Choose network, then Ethernet interfaces
Select new device and choose VIA Rhine PCI driver.

Being happy of finally find the answer to my problem (Linux was not
detecting my ethernet card...) I went in KDE.  To my surprise, I did not
find COAS!!  I am missing something?  How can I make sure to select Via
Rhine PCI driver?

Many thanks!

If one has nothing but ISA - use the EISA.

I have all type machines at the moment.  

Preferably if one has PCI that is the one to use.

For the EISA, did you get the EISA configuration disk?

yes..got the configuration disk and configured the 3com 10/100
ethernet card.  

machine has 8megs RAM and when tried to install.  Got past the
language and perhaps a ? more got Error 15.  Haven't found the reason
for that one yet.  (still hunting)

Installed 16meg and 40meg and both gave me error during boot

Unresolved memory Parity Error
Type Shut off NMI, Reboot, Continue


I would guess that the EISA one has a EISA SCSI host adapter?

yes..has SCSI built in.  

For a server (even for home) your going to need a fast bus

you mean network or faster bus?  it's a 486/60mhz machine.

Thanks for your reply!

   I just installed Redhat 5.2 on my PC and I cannot get it to talk
to my modem.   My modem is a Diamond Supramax 56i.   I read on one the
webpages that some modems can have the PNP turned off.  Does anyone know
how to do this?

Please check your modem model against the list at:
   http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html

The SupraMax modems are winmodems.  However, the SupraExpress 56i is a
conventional modem with jumpers.  The SupraExpress 56i Pro is a winmodem,
and the SupraExpress 56e Pro is a conventional external modem.  Is that
confusing enough?

AFAIK, there is no SupraMax 56i, so please check the list :)

 Elaboration would be greatly apprectiated...  without having looked
 yet, where can I get said kernel?  Thanks

You can get the Kernel at the typical places like ftp.kernel.org or any of
its mirrors.

To start the elaboration: I followed mostly the Banshee Vesa mini-howto at
http://www.uno.edu/~adamico/banshee/Welcome.html

The only deviation is, that i had to add a "Depth 24" line in the display
section to get it to work.

I believe you can overclock a 450 to like 464 or something like that
max.

  make my computer think that the cpu's are higher, or lower or anything,
  it seems to be reading the chips themselves, and ignoring the jumpers

  Anything i kan do?
 
  Comments?

 If you have 2 PII 400's, why do you want to overclock them?  Isn't that
 fast enough?  I don't think you will see much of an improvement if you
 did overclock them to 450.  If you still want to overclock it, go to the
 asus site (www.asus.com) and they have the jumper settings.  Hell, I
 have
 a single PII 400 and am pretty happy with the speed.

 Don't know if Red Hat's default kernels contain sound support, but you
 generally need to rebuild the kernel, adding sound support, and
