The difference is syntactical, not semantic. E.g. "Bob. BOB! Don't bob up and
down! Bob side to side!". There are two different Bob's here, identified by
total context, not just case. I don't expect a computer language to be this
smart (it is essential to avoid ambiguity, which is acceptable in English),
but I do object to
int bob;
float BOB;
bob =1.0; //Error

Hi. I am trying to install a Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56
on Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 but I have some difficulties.
I changed the file /etc/pcmcia/config to include the lines
card "Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56"
version "Xircom", "*", "CBEM56G"
bind "xirc2ps_cs", "serial_cs"
which resulted from the output of cardctl ident
When I restart PCMCIA it gives-me:
xirc2ps_cs: Ooops: Not a creditcard
xirc2ps_cs: this card is not supported
I believe that the modem is working but
is there any way to put this Ethernet part to work?
Thanks for your time.

Hello there,
I have a question about installing linux on my 486 with a single speed
mitsumi CD-rom player. I tried to install linux with redhat 5.2 (nov
1998) version. The problem is that after the installation program
installed the cdrom player the cdrom player read almost continually when
I press a buttton for further installation (I cam unto Disk Druid). The
performace is very,very slow so I can't install it.
This is my hardware
- 486 DX-2 mainbord
- 8MB ram 4x1MB 30p, 1X4MB FP
- 2 harddisks 80/100 MB (I get a 260 MB harddisk)
- VLB cirrus logic 5428 Videocard
- Aztech soundblaster with CDrom controller at 320hex, IRQ11
- mitsumi lu005s single speed CDrom player
I hope someone can help me out. Thanks!

A few things I've forgetten to mention that might be important:
I have had the system lock up while using RealPlayer to play a southpark
episode off a cd. (this could point to something with the sound).
I've also had quake II lock the machine a few times. I've also had quake
II just crash but then I normally just go back to the command prompt.
(again could also be something with the sound).
I can't remeber ever having it lock up from playing long wave files, but
then again most of the wave files that get played (LICQ etc) are really
short.
It's never crashed from playing a CD.
Besides the above points it's been extremely stable. One final question: if
I'm running a program as root or suid root and it's poorly written, can it
right over other apps and the kernels memory or will the OS kill it and
I'll just get a seg fault?

Never seen this personally. I'd expect quick obvious lockups.
Intel does recommend matching S-specs. Also, you should pick a SMP-
capable S-spec. (Intel marks some runs as not suitable for SMP.)
I think that buying dual boards and single CPUs "just in case" is
foolish. If you need dual CPUs, buy dual CPUs. If you don't, save
the money you would have spent on the more expensive dual board.
In a field where prices keep dropping, buying anything you don't
need now is a bad move.

Definitely.
See www.storagereview.com for drive benchmarks. IDE drives are priced
mostly by size not speed, so if you end up going IDE it's critical to
do your homework and get the fastest drive available. (That drive
changes every couple of months.)
IDE isn't that bad as long as you use DMA mode and don't have more
than one drive per channel. If a few users need exceptional disk
performance, you can take some of the money you saved and buy them
10000 RPM SCSI drives.

Subject: XFree86 problem on a Compaq Armada 1750
Hi,
I've tried to install XFree86 on a Compaq Armada 1750, but without
success. This laptop has a ATI Mach64 LT Rage Pro 2X graphic card, and
a 1024x768 LCD display. I've tried either the SVGA and the Mach64
driver. I'm installing RedHat 5.2.
The problem is that some parts of the screen are duplicated, or a large
white line appears on the screen. I've noticed that if I boot the PC
with an external monitor connected, the X server works fine (when
displaying on the CRT and LCD at the same time).
Any idea, solution ?
Or has someone a XF86Config working for the Armada 1750 ?
Thanks in advance.

So how do you interact with humans or files? With pipelines the interface
is the same. Do you have to make special-case handling for every
possibility on every interface that depends on whether the thing on
the other end is a human (tty-like device), a file, a pipe, a
socket, a tape drive or your corba-aware counterpart?

This just falls out of the simplicity of treating everything the
same. If you want the shell to expand file metacharacters you
let it see them unquoted. If you don't, then you quote them
for programs like 'find' that have their own concept of expansion.

You could if you want to do away with the shell as the primary command
interpreter. What would be the point? If you don't like the traditional
programs, don't use them. Write a program that prompts for input
so the shell won't touch it if that's what you want. Other users
on the machine may prefer to continue to run existing programs.

Well, $49 would satisfy your requirement for below $50 that you have in

Actually, the driver waits for an interrupt and never gets it.
If you look in the wait_tulip function in i91uscsi.c, you'll see a
while loop waiting for TSS_INT_PENDING, and it seems it never gets
one in your case.
I can fix the lockup, but am not quite sure what I'll break in the
process. I'll see what I can do. This may be a problem with your CD-R,
but it's also possible that it's a bug in the driver.

You are using the correct low level drivers. It may be that your CD-R
drive is stupid, but I can't say at the moment. Do you see any chance
of trying the drive with a different card? If it breaks there as well,
it's definately the drive, otherwise I'll need your help in fixing the
bug, since I haven't got access to a Matshita CD-R CW7502 drive.

Good to hear that. Means it may be the drive, but I still can't be
certain.
