You might want to try a program called Ghost
(http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/fs_ghost.html). It makes life a lot
easier :-) It works with just about any os too. It creates an image file
of either your entire harddrive or just certain partitions. It saves that
image file to either a network drive or other removable media source (Jaz
drive). Then when you need to reinstall, pop your network boot disk in and
re-image the drive from that image file. I can do a 3 gig drive in about a
half hour.

Wild guess city, but since the cards on separate buses, perhaps you can get
away with installing both cards. Watch they don't try to use the same
memory buffer, and if they use interrupts, who knows what cruft hardware
designers put together to share IRQs across buses. Only broken PCI stuff
uses IRQs anyway.
Just run two separate X servers if you must, too bad if you don't have
everything on one desktop. Look into GGI for potential stuff (ggi.org).

You only need the FAT32 patch if you are running kernel versions earlier
than 2.0.34...

When there is nothing to compute, the OS idles the CPU using a "halt" or
"sleep" instruction or whatever it is called in the architecture. This
minimizes power by minimizing the number of signals that toggle per unit
time in the chip (which is what eats power in CMOS technology.)
When there is something to compute, the CPU uses power. I believe a fully
loaded Celeron 300A running at 450 to use 25-30W. Think about that, you
can get soldering irons with no more heating power than that.
If you actually touch the CPU to feel the temperature (making sure to ground
yourself on the case first) you will find that it runs stone cold in OS idle,
but gets quite arm -- not alarmingly hot -- doing repeated kernel compiles.
CMOS logic slows down as it gets warmer and this is what causes it to crap
out. On my machine -- with the stock retail Celeron 300A heat sink and
fan -- it can take several kernel recompiles before the temperature stabilizes
at the higher level.
At the _specified_ operating conditions (300MHz) the chip is margined to
work reliably at +/- 5% voltage and at up to 85C case temperature (if I
recall the data sheet correctly; it's on the web.) This is the design margin
you're using up when overclocking; you're trading performance for reliability.

I finally solved my problem. I did two things, and I'm not absolutely
certain which one or ones did the trick but here they are:
I changed the BIOS setting for the ZIP drive to "user" and specified the
correct C/H/S information, and I upgraded to util-linux-2.9i. Just editing the
BIOS didn't work by itself, but I'm not certain that it was essential to the
final solution. I'm not in a mood to experiment anymore.
My machine is dual boot with Win98, and I've found that I can't do a soft
reboot from Win98 to linux and expect the zip drive to be functional. I don't
know what Win98 does to the thing, but the power has to be cycled for linux to
use the drive.

Similar things happened to me but it had nothing to do with linux.
Try booting windows without any config.sys and autoexec.bat
and see if your CDROM becomes visible. That solved the problem
and the drive didn't vanish afterwards.

I upgraded from a regular 1 gb drive on my Cyrix 166 to a 10gb ultradma on a
machine running windows98. The Tyan board does not support udma, and the
performance on the machine has declined. I know win98 is not the culprit (it
works just fine on an intel 166); I'm beginning to believe putting a udma
drive in a machine with a motherboard that doesn't support it is the real
problem. My solution is going to be to upgrade my workstation to a new board
that supports udma. My cyrix will go into my 486/100 RH linux server where
it will use regular ide drives. The 486/100 will replace the 486/33 running
my NT4.0 server.
I realize this may not apply, but I'm somewhat suspicious about running
newer drives on older motherboards.

Three thoughts-
1. Boot off an emergency floppy (one with a bootable kernel on it, e.g. boot/root
floppies from slack install) or switch to whatever runlevel on slackware is the
debugging runlevel (look in /etc/inittab to figure out which one that might be). With
/dev/hda5 NOT mounted, run 'fsck.ext2 /dev/hda5' This will fsck the partition to see
if there are any hardware problems physically with the drive.
2. Check which dma chip you have on your motherboard. there are a few (it's in the
kernel docs... somewhere... off the top of my head, I know they are in the hints tabs
if you make menuconfig the kernel) that require special bug work-arounds.
3. Check BIOS settings- my BIOS has a setting where you can reduce IDE speed (that's
just what the entry is- I haven't the slightest what it actually does). A company in
Redmond, WA makes an OS that geeks out on me if I set my bus speed to high.
I am assuming you compiled the kernel carefully- e.g. using appropriate versions of
all the relevant programs....

Get the external modem variety, and it should work
flawlessly, since it will look like a standard network
connection to Linux. Your connection will be
(as I understand it),
PC/Network card <-> ADSL modem <-> wall jack.
Also, from what I understand, most ADSL modems
are 10BaseT, so you will either need a "null network"
cable, or a small hub.

i just installed redhat 5.2 on an all-SCSI system with the asus p2b-s
motherboard (same as yours but one processor). i had no problems at
all -- didn't need a new boot disk or anything. i just booted off the
CDROM and everything ran just fine. AFAIK versions of redhat before 5.2
don't support the ultra2 SCSI, so maybe you need a newer distribution.

Adding "M0" (that's a zero, not an 'O') to the init string or sending
the command "ATM0" to the modem before you dial should turn off the
speaker completely. Where you actually put this depends on what
program is actually dialing the modem. I think you can also play with
the L(number) option to control the volume without actually turning
it off.

You left something out. You would ONLY need that patch if your kernel is a

You have two options:
1. Upgrade to kernel 2.2.x
2. Get the ALSA drivers at http://alsa.jcu.cz
The drivers for the es1370/1371 chipsets that ship with RH5.2 are
not particularly good. The other two options should work much better

In a nutshell, what you need to do is make sure that your
parallel printer support is compiled as a module and not in
the kernel because you have to be able to unload it to use
the PP-Zip drive. You must also have SCSI support available
(module is fine) because the PP-Zip drive is seen as an SCSI
device by linux. Finally, you must have the parallel port
adapter driver (ppa) compiled as a module so you can load it
after you've unloaded the lp driver for your printer. There
is work on a PP-Zip driver that will do printer pass-through
like the Windows and OS/2 versions but I don't think it's
made it into the general distributions yet.
