Thanks for help. The version of Corel I bouth was 1.0 (50 Cdn dollars) I
found the 1.1 version of the corel ftp. I burned the ISO, and was able to
install from there.
However: When i boot into Corel Linux it just gives me that prompt: name10
# . is that what is called LILO? I can log on as root but not hte user name
i specified during setup
If so then why won't i get the graphical install of Corel Linux? How can I
tell this linux shell, as the root user, to download the new xfree84 4.0?
Thanks

All SCSI devices can be locked. It's a universal command. In this
particular case, the "mt" program will let you do it:
mt -f /dev/nst0 lock
mt -f /dev/nst0 unlock
I wonder, however, why this is a concern. You shouldn't be allowing
untrusted users in the same room with your main server. You can't
possibly secure your servers if untrusted users can access the physical
hardware.

I'm trying to compile the winbond-840.c driver (found on
http://www.scyld.com/network/drivers.html ) for my Compex RL100ATX/PCI ethernet
card on a 2.2.15 kernel but I'm having the following errors:
/usr/src/modules> # gcc -DMODULE -O6 -c winbond-840.c
winbond-840.c:111: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
winbond-840.c:132: pci-scan.h: No such file or directory
winbond-840.c:133: kern_compat.h: No such file or directory
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Or isn't this driver supposed
to work yet on a 2.2.15 kernel?

Subject: RAM stress testing program?
Date: 23 May 2000 15:11:16 -0500
Hi all,
My system is crashing quite often (daily). There are the usual suspects. One
thing I've tried is removing the second bank of PC100 memory. That seems to
have done the trick, but I'd like to make _really_ sure, as memory isn't that
cheap.
Is there some program that tests the memory hardware?
I recently installed SuSE 6.4 (kernel 2.2.14) and am trying out the Reiser fs.
That could be causing problems. Or there's the X server (3.3.6 with Matrox
G200) which keeps crashing with a note to try gdb on the core file. Except
there is no core file!
Finally, the partitions on my other IDE disk (with ext2) seem to be so
corrupted that accessing them crashes the system. Then I also have a
corrupted file on the Reiser partition such that I can't even delete it - I get
"Input/output error".
Fun, isn't it?

There is not yet a driver for Sane.
The HP backend supports a lot of HP's, but this one uses a different
protocol, and therefore it needs a different driver/backend.
I haven't heard of someone writing it.
You might try XVscan ($50)
Or Scanshop (Vividata; very expensive)
The best you could do was to look what scanners are supported, but
you didn't.
Bad luck.

Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 21:03:31 GMT
Ok,for a year now I've fiddled with Linux winmodem drivers and I've just
about had enough. I chunked the winmodem and bought an ISA jumper
configurable hardware modem. the IRQ and I/O is already set in
isapnp.conf,and /dev/ttyS0 is already set the for correct IRQ and I/O. now
my only question is,why the !@#$%^&* won't it detect or use my modem? it's
NOT a winmodem,it's NOT PCI,and everything's configured just as good as can
be,but RH Dialer won't find it. (I'm using RedHat Linux 6.2,btw.). I really
need this thing working for Linux. however,I think I know what may be
causing the problem. the jumpers are set to PnP (Plug 'n Play),and there is
a setting for non-PnP. do you think this might be whats causing the problem?
