Subject: Re: Windows easy to install? BULLSHIT!
Date: 02 Jul 1999 06:12:47 GMT

If you'll pardon me jumping into the fray here with my $0.02... (and maybe
ranting a bit)...

I was 14 when Tandy sent out the TRS-80 and my dad picked one up (he still has
it) and we all played with DOS... got fairly good at it - not programmers by
any means, but we could find our a** from a hole in the ground, if you know
what I mean.  Anyway, when Windows came along, we went right along with it.  As
proficient as we were with DOS, windows was (is) a no-brainer, but it was fun
(something new, something different).

And then I heard about this thing called Linux, and I was intrigued.  Why? 
Because I LIKE to tweak.  And my husband likes to tinker.  Can we do that with
Windows?  Yeah, right.  

Anyway, I've found this entire thread to be fascinating, and just wanted to add
a couple of tidbits here and there...

I've had Win3.x, Win95 and Win98 lock up during install.  Of all the versions,
Win3.x was the most stable.  I can't count how many times I've had to reinstall
Win95 and Win98... Win95 was especially good at rewriting my registry files and
then refusing to look at them.  Win95 didn't like me playing with their
screensavers, either - choked every time.  

When I started my Linux install, that "mounting" and "hda1" and partitioning
gave me pause.  RTFM, you say, and I did - that didn't seem to ease the willies
I had when SuSE said it wanted to mount my drive (I was thinking, now I KNOW
this was written by a man!).  

And about those manuals... well, if you want to RTFM for a Win install, you're
going to be sadly disappointed.  Documentation you say?  Well, it teaches you
how to click a mouse... how to open a window and close a window... how to turn
on a screensaver and wallpaper... tells you how great the internet is (and how
seamless Win98 and IE are with it)... then they get to Advanced Issues like
using Help, backing up your files, defragging your disk, finding your printer
("there it is, right beside the box") ad nauseum.  If you wanted answers, you
wouldn't find them here.  And on the back page in big letters: For product
support, contact the manufacturer of your computer system.  Yeah, well, that
would be me.  Good thing I didn't have anything bleeding edge or painfully
obsolete.  

Well, now I've got Linux running but not quite "there" yet - still working out
a few issues, but it's FUN.  My husband the tinkerer (who knows next to nothing
about software of any kind) is loving it.  I, the tweaker, am loving it.  So
what if my sound card doesn't work?  Never mind that I just found out that all
the work I've done to get the modem going has been in vain (Rockwell HCF). 
And, okay, I was sucked in by the big sale on scanners and finally broke down
and bought one... yes, it's a parallel port (duh, I didn't even think about it)
thank goodness I didn't sink a lot of money into it.  And we won't even talk
about the confusion still residing in my brain about this file structure and
the commands, etc., etc.  

The thing is, one day (hopefully not too long from now) I will be able to look
at my kid and say:  See, I told you the patience would pay off.  And into the
bargain she's gonna become a pretty decent computer mechanic, if nothing else. 
The stuff she's learned in two weeks with Dad tinkering with boxes and Mom
tweaking Linux puts to shame the entire year she spent in "computer" class - at
a private school, no less - where she learned how to turn the thing on, type,
print, and turn it off.  

And even she noticed - although we have managed to crash KDE a couple of times,
it's not as bad as when my son crashes Win98 with his Reader Rabbit (which
seems to be a daily thing), and always much easier to restart X than to reboot
Win98 (with fingers crossed and breath held because hey, Mom still has to have
Win98 for work).

Hello,

a 3dfx Banshee / Voodoo 3 mini-HOWTO has just been startet.
It includes a step by step instruction to set up 2D and 3D with the new
Voodoos.
It was written for SuSE LINUX but can easily be adapted to other
distributions.

Look at http://www.cpx-ssc.de/~y0d0004/docs/vbv3-suse-mini-howto/

If you can not set it up this way you can also set it up as a framebuffer
device. But this will not be accelerated...

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Carsten Engel

and fiddling with things with something that is supposed to work just fine
really bothers me.  Yes I do not know a whole lot but I didn't assign the

Gene Heskett sends Greetings to Jeffery Cann;

Logitek makes a decent quality mouse, I'm looking at one right now.
BUT, none of them will work worth a toot if they're up to their gonads
in dust bunnies and hair balls in the works.  Goobers get on the balls
and where the balls contact the rollers, and hairballs form on the
shafts of the interrupter disks all the time.

Thats why there are screws in the bottom of it, so you can take it apart
to do normal housekeeping in there.  Use paint thinner alcohol to clean
the ball, roller and shaft contact surfaces, and a q-tip wet with it to
co-erce the hairballs from around the shafts on as much of the bearing
surface as you can get to without bending anything.

Voila! Brand new, smooth mouse.

What scsi controller do you have?  I'm having a similar problem with

So far everyone has pointed to termination of the cable as being the

I am having a first attempt at setting up Redhat 5.2 Linux on an old
Gateway 2000 486 PC (model 4DX2-66V).

This has a Mitsumi double speed CD-ROM drive with its own interface
(not IDE). The model number is CRMC-FXOOD.

When I try to install the OS, it is not recognising the CD-ROM drive.
Is this not supported, or am I doing something wrong? I couldn't find
much useful on the Redhat hardware compatibility guide.

If I can't use this CD-ROM, can I copy some relevant bits to a hard
disk partition, load from there, install the network and use a newer
CD-ROM drive from a remote machine? Or would a different Linux
distribution help?

your setup sounds very broken--I can't imagine that Redhat or another
distro would allow you to not install something as basic as make.
More likely, your path is not correctly; Type 'echo $PATH'.  If it
doesn't look something like '/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin' then that's 
your problem.

I suggest buying or downloading one of the many excellent
linux-for-newbies books (_Running Linux_ used to be the standard one).

I tested Read/Write a few weeks ago (2.2.9 kernel), and it worked for a

crashed when I shared it out from Samba, and aborted a copy to the disk.

I've a big problem which none of the documentation has helped with!

The linux machine puts packets onto the network with no problem.
I can see them with a sniffer.
They are mainly arp packets of course until I manually add an entry via
arp -s for another machine.
When I do this and then a ping, I see the icmp traffic in both
directions with the sniffer. The linux box sees no replys ( the led on
the xircom flickers though as one would expect ).

ifconfig -a reports no packets RX TX or collisions.

network addresses, netmasks etc are all correct and the other machine
populates it's MAC arp table with the linux boxes ether address
correctly.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks.
