How does one configure a PLUG & PLAY ethernet card in slackware 3.5?
At startup, BIOS detects it as: NB116P PnP
Win 98 device manager says:
IRQ: 5
I/O: 220
Thanks... and excuse me, I'm a newbie.

Date: Sat, 3 Jul 1999 04:45:56 -0400
I am a Ph.D. student at Lehigh and recently assembled myself a Celeron
machine running at 488 Mhz (overclocked from 433). I was very curious about
its performance compared to regular Pentium IIs in scientific computing. I
ran a mathematical optimization package called CPLEX on my machine and on a
regular Pentium 400. The result is that the regular Pentium II outperforms
my machine (celeron 488) by about 10%. Extrapolating from here I conclude
that the Pentium performs about 25% faster than an equally clocked Celeron
in intensive computing tasks. Therefore for fractals and chess expect a
similar behaviour.
However, I think it will do almost as well on routine Windows tasks such as
word processing, web surfing, MP3 processing etc. In my opinion the Celeron
is a very good value. For me as a student the marginal cost of getting a
Pentium II is more than its marginal benefit.

I'm in the same boat. IBM 300PL P2/350 with an S3 Trio built onto the MB.
There's some information about VesaFB (framebuffering) from the XFree.org
site, but I don't know if the Trio is fully Vesa 2.0 compliant. Anyone?

May have answered my own question...S3 site has a FAQ that describes
installation of a VESA 2.0 TSR for full 2.0 compliance in DOS/Windows.
Methinks that if a TSR is needed, the hardware doesn't have the native Vesa
2.0...
Oh, well, guess we'll have to wait.

Laughable. A reliable external modem could be bought for USD 50.--,
with the same specs and some nifty LCDs to show you the present
state of the connection. Not to mention the fact that you can reset
it without resetting the whole system.

If you're up to it, you can change this behaviour.
Look through the Linux kernel source code, and find the place
where HLT is used. Change it to whatever procedure you like, and
recompile your kernel.
So long as you don't redistribute the kernel with this unapproved
patch in it, you should be ok.

Careful, OS/2 was originally created by Microsoft - will that upset
your plans to be Wintel free?
Note too that the Athlon + mobos won't be available as consumer parts
for quite some time (probably next year) so you may have to wait for
that.
You should also check the release schedules with AMD for SMS
configurations.

I've got a DEC DE200. It works fine with winblows, and Linux also detected
it like it should do. On the old ISA card you have to set the jumpers right.
So this could be a nice card.

Epox kp6-bs : up to 1 Gig (4 slots for the ram) <-> abit up to 750 MB
RAM (3 slots for the ram)
ATA 33 <-> ATA 66 (not that important , correct?)
slot 1 <-> socket 370
the future celeron's : still socket 370 ?
Will intel cripple future celeron's more to avoid dual cele working ??????
thought I read that somewhere
if AMD brings new k7 with slotA - > conversion to slot 1 (epox MB) possible
through adaptor? and possible for my Epox? I already heard somebody say
that it is the busarchitecture that is so different that epox will not be
able to do so.
How about clockdividers on both boards , does abit support future 133 WITH
proper dividers?????
abit is 33 dollar cheaper?
PS best 366 is retail box SL35S ???? BEFORE WEEK 15 OR SOMETHING

Bad luck, pal. It now seems clear that Intel would like to have
socket 370 stay in the low-end market, so they will also disable
the SMP capabilities of socket 370 P-IIIs. A new socket --- 418
I believe --- will be introduced for SMP P-IIIs.

Therefore I suppose that BP6 will only work with Celerons and

If this is a tree generated by the 'tar -xzvf ftape-4.02.tar.gz' and was
not included in the kernel sources at their install, then it likely is
not known to the the kernel makefiles located in the /usr/src/linux

You should probably go through the whole maryann in the /usr/src/ftape-4.02
directory, that of:
./configure
make dep
make
and then take *another* good look at the README and INSTALL files in
that directory for instructions on how to install so its useable.

Yes it could Anders, on an xx50 style port, the keyword being 'packet'
here. Because it will inevitably have a short pause in the data flow
while the packet is being assembled by the protocol, the port, its
drivers circular buffers, and the IRQ stack would start pretty well
flushed. Under these conditions its conceivable that the path might
drop every x'th byte due to overrun, and this every x'th byte pattern
would be synchronized to the beginning of the packet.
His fix, obviously, is to disable the on-board com ports and install a
newer card with xx55x or xx65x chips on it. The worst is that since such
cards are almost commodity items, the shipping will be priced at a
sizeable portion of the cards costs... Sigh

Provided you did have XConfigurator setup some higher depth modes, and
you've fixed the commented out line setting the cards memory size in the
resultant /etc/X11/XF86Config file, then,
To hit your 16 bit selections, you need to use options on the startx
line, such as:
startx -- -bpp 16
etc.
Howewver I've not had any great amount of luck with even higher depths
using that driver kit on a SYS 6326 based card myself.

I'm buying a PC soon for college (from college) and the standard package
offered (http://www.dartmouth.edu/comp/newstudentinfo/buying/hardware.html)
is Celeron 433, 6GB, 64MB, 15" (quite the worst point) etc. While I have not
seen the specs of higher-end systems or the price, but so far it seems that
this one will fit my budget best (well their systems seemed a bit overpriced
despite alleged academic discounts;
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~store/pricelist.html). But before making the
decision, I'd like some information on Celeron systems since I have some
reservation about the chip (I guess due to some early criticism I didn't
really heed but was exposed to nevertheless). First, does it perform as well
as the benchmarks suggest? I've seen some FPU benchmarks indicating that
Celeron outperforms similarly clocked PII and some Integer benchmarks where
it still holds fairly well. But do these benchmarks reflect the overall
system performance considering the slower bus speed (66mhz) and other
compromises? Second, are there any particular application areas where
Celeron fares poorly? For example my hunch is that its design (smaller but
faster L2 cache) wouldn't favor applications that require intensive but
repetitive memory/disk access (server? compilers?) but is the difference
worth noting?
As for my use, it will be primarily used as a desktop Linux machine (Redhat
6.0 with GNOME or KDE) with some casual server daemons like http, ftp,
telnet, etc. Other tasks would include (ordered by approximate
frequency/priority) wordprocessing, internet client apps,
programming/compilation, image-manipulation (small-scale for my

(incase I can't afford a stereo), fractals, and maybe some chess programs
(hmm maybe this is where Celeron might show its weaknesses?). I'm not
planning on playing games much and when I do, I'm unusually tolerant of
low-res/low-framerate, not to mention that I'm not into modern
graphic-intensive 3D shootemups (yeah I'm the guy who used to play starcraft

will also have a 2-gig partition for Win98 for compatibility reasons
