FWIW, there's a package called 'cdar' (available at
http://ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk/~pdw/cdar/ ) which can manage multiple
'tar'-like archives on CDROM. The homepage describes it as:

"Cdar is a utility for writing arbitrary pipes and files to a CDR.
Cdar does not actually write CDs - you will still need to use a
program like cdrecord.  Cdar can store and retrieve files from a
multitrack CD. This is very useful if you have a multisession drive as
it allows you to make incremental backups onto a single CD."

Anecdotally, I have 3Com cards (CC10BT/2, 3CXSH572BT) that work.

You are an oldtmer too, I see :)  Before going the gdb route, try
running screen under strace, something like "strace -o /tmp/xxx screen".

But that's not scriptable.

I don't know what the original poster has in mind, but I find it useful
to be able to eject a zip disk from a script sometimes.

The eject command will do it.  In RedHat, it's part of the "eject"
package.  See the man page eject(1) for usage.

Fix your /etc/fstab, and make sure that the mount point you're putting the
CD-RW on has appropriate permissions, like 0755.  Your fstab lines should
look like:

/dev/cdrom   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,noauto,user   0   0
/dev/cdrom1  /mnt/cdrw    iso9660   ro,noauto,user   0   0

Check http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html for info on writing
to your CD-RW if you haven't gotten that working already...

>Why do all Linux programs have silly names?

Some history, according to the Jargon File (
http://tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/ ):

"grep" derives from Globally search for a REgular expression and Print
it.  The text editor "ed" used a command sequence similar to the
capitalized letters to search for a string in a text file.

"biff" was the name of a large, friendly Golden Retriever that roamed the
halls when the early releases of BSD were in development.  A (false)
legend states that he would bark at the mailman, so the "biff" utility
that beeps/messages you when you have new mail was named after him.

"X" was named X because it was the successor to "W", a Windowing
environment for Unix.

"emacs" derives from "Eventually Malloc()s All Computer Storage" ;-)

More generally, "silly" names are a tradition in Unix.  They reflect the
fact that many Unix utilities were named by hackers with senses of humor,
not marketing teams with loads of demographic data and case studies.  
Also, the "silly" command names can remind you that you should calm down,
it's only 1s and 0s.

You have most likely compiled something as a module that need to be compiled in the 
kernel.

Mostly likely, filesystem, hard-disk driver, mca support,or some unusual device.

[snip]

OK, I didn't see the original post but here's the explanation.

Each letter printed by lilo means something was done. Because lilo is on the
MBR there's very little space.
This makes it impossible to put nice messages like "I looked for the kernel but
I can't find it"

The first L means that the first stage loader was found and started executing.
The I means that the second stage loader was found by the first stage. It tried
to find the kernel and couldn't.

The LI problem means, in most cases, that you either made a new kernel and
forgot to run lilo or that the kernel is located somewhere above cylinder 1024
on your disk.

When you use a large capacity hard disk and have one monolithic partition for
linux the kernel will often be above cyl 1024.
The way around this is to make a small partition at the start of the disk
(about 20 Megs) and call it "/boot"  then make the / partition.
All the kernels and other stuff required to boot goes in this partition.

There is also a version of lilo (21.4 if memory serves) that does not have the
1024 cyl limitation.

I recognise those symptoms - I've got 4-way KVM switch box switching
between W95, OS/2, W98 - and of course Linux as the main box. Every so
often the mouse will exhibit exactly that behaviour when switching to one
of the Windoze boxes. Linux isn't bothered, although gpm every so often
complains about "loosing sync" (can't remember the exact log message).
gpm just seems to work - although the mouse is connected to my linux box
via a serial cable (perhaps that's it?).

Solutions? None that I know of.  I found that running a VNC server on the
windoze box at least allows me to VNC in and shut it down nicely -
needless to say, it needs a reboot to get back into sync with the mouse.
Hate that..
