I have a Modem Blaster 56k PCI PNP modem that i just got.  Im kinda a newbie
with linux and i just recently installed it.  I cant get the Modem Blaster to
work.  Ive played around with a few things in the network configuratation (in
xwindows).  Im currently using a 14.4
because i cant get the stupid peace of crap to work.  My friend is also having
the same problem.  I was wondering if there was a certain init string that
needed to be used with it or something.  If somebody could help me, ide
appreciate it very much, thanks.

I actually know of a few people who had a similar problem. Some of the
new BIOS have a virus protection option. This prevents you from writing
to the boot sector of the hard drive and so LILO won't work. Try
disabling virus protection and see then if it works!

We are currently looking at various options for our company to deploy
applications.  LINUX has been brought up as a valid option.  Our question
is, can LINUX be loaded from a floppy disk on a workstation with minimal (no
hard drive) hardware?

If this is the case, we could load LINUX from floppy and then run X Windows
from the server and the users would be in an environment they are familiar
with.

Are we on the right track?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I noticed corpsys has such a card.... for 69 dollars! Its based on a
53c810. Anyone know of a knock off clone of this card (the way they
talked about their card, it seems like a generic anyway)? I really need
the DB25 external port (its for a scanner). I would prefer not to
purchase any solution other than one with a external DB25 port. Other
solutions involve cabling adapters, which basically suck and become
reliability issues in the long run, and are solutions I would like to
avoid if possible.

Thanks,

Subject: dd for CD image?
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 09:40:58 GMT

Greetings:

    I wish to make bootable CD-RW disks as a form of backup.  I would
like to be able to make images of any OS, without needing to read that
OS from Linux.  I.E. use dd to create a raw image of a partition, (or
CD?) then burn that to a disk.  Can this be done?

Ex. to make a raw CD image

dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/tmp/cd.image

Is this possible?  Would it work.

Or for a drive partition

dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/tmp/hdd.image

Finally, if this will work: can I write the image to a CD as is, like dd
if=/tmp/hdd.image of=/dev/scd0?

Do I need to use raw devices for this?  If so, what are they?

I have Red Hat 5.2 with 2.2.1 kernel.

Thanks

My BIOS supports it, but all I get is a LI in the upperleft corner after it
starts to access the drive.  How did you partition the DISK and instal LILO?

Weird.  I had great luck with the U/33.

Try software raid 0 or 1 which are easier to set up.  I've been running a
6.1GB stripe across two drives (one on ide0, one ide1) with ~16MB/s read

My mistake. I was thinking about parity. Such memory doesn't correct errors but
simply sends an NMI and I think Linux doesn't catch it.
And yes, the Xeon is not really superior to Pentium II/Celeron. In the
simulations that I run they perform about the same.

Well, there is a very old system that may work: why not using the energy
or your processor to circulate the water? The radiator has to be higher than

the processor so that the hot water (which is lighter than cool water) can
climb
to the radiator using the weight difference of hot / cool circuit. It would
be
protected against a pump failure.

But don't use your machine by -20 degrees or in this case, add glycol to
the water. And don't drive too fast!

sndconfig detects my PCI 128 as the Ensoniq PCI, but can't
run its playback sample test (sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp':
Operation not supported by device). (/dev/dsp is mode 666 with major/minor

The RedHat 5.2 kernel is 2.0.36. Others have reported that RedHat did
upgrade the sound drivers in 5.2 to support the PCI 128, but this
is apparently not correct, at least with vanilla 5.2. Maybe with a 
reconfigured/rebuilt kernel?

One thing you could try is to check VA Research' site.  If you are
looking to buy a complete system that should work from the minute you
turn it on, they should be able to hook you up...providing you can
afford them.  As an alternative, check out their custom config page to
get an idea as to what cards for audio and video work w/ Linux. 
Obviously, many more generic cardswork now than used to, but VA Research
tends to use pretty good components, so they should give a good idea of
what works, and works _well_ , with linux.

In general, it won't work. The exception may be if it is possible
to scale the TV window down until it is so small that the X bandwidth
will fit. I don't have the figures in front of me, but NTSC video
requires 4Mhz, or 8Mbits/sec (theoretically, uncompressed). With
network overhead, it won't fit.

Digital TV is another thing. This will use MPEG-2 compression.
Depending on the resolution, some formats might fit, but full-blown
HDTV will require about 18Mbits/sec. This will, of course not be
the X display, but the program source.

that's funny, because between two machines i have only one isa card
(a sound blaster), but 6 pci cards (2 video cards, 3 ethers, 1 scsi
controller).  besides sound and perhaps scsi, what else is on isa
these days?

(i once had an external pots modem, but now with cablemodem, i use an
ethernet card.)
