Hi,
I've been pulling my hair out with Linux for about a year now
and. I think that it has a tremendous potential, but the pulling out
of my hair is a testament to the poor documentation.
I am grateful that there is a lot of it out there, but there's a lot
that is missing. There are many gaps which are hard to tie in.
Many unanswered questions. I have yet to find a doc that
explains all the steps in detail of sending and receiving mail
and what happens in between and the way info is routed.
I have not found detailed tcp/ip stuff also which explains
all the details of sending packets between computers and the
internals of the packets and the exchange of info betweens
the system to establish connections. I read most of the docs
and have to use my old brain to fill in the missing details.
The idea of Linux is unbelieveably great in many ways. One
is the potential of learning everything about the system. The info
is allowed to be out there. Hopefully some of the veterans out
there will help fill in the gaps and write some more complete docs
and / or books .
I try to use my learned knowledge about Linux to help other
people on the internet. I have been helped greatly from people on
the internet and clubs and many pretty good books.
One suggestion that I have that is easy to implement is that the
people that do get help and finally solve their problems put out
the solution and anything that they have learned right back to the
group that helped them so we could all benefit.

This sounds like some missing information in the network department.
A good book to cover this is:
W. Richard Stevens, Unix Network Programming -networking APIs: sockest and
XTI, ISBN: 0-13-490012-X
The idear of letting the people, who solved their problems, gather the
solutions in one documentary, sounds a bit like the howto documentation,
the only thing missing here is, that the documentation in the howto's has
to to give a general solution to the problem, and not just a 'one system'
specific solution.

Hi guys,
I have an internal DynaLink 56k Modem that was working under Mandrake
6.1 when I typed the following:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 9 autoconfig.
Now I've upgraded to Mandrake 7.0 I can't get the modem to respond at
all. KPPP always responds with "modem is busy".
I've been working with pnpdump and isapnp but haven't had much luck
there either.
Any suggestions for what I can try next?
Thanks!

I'm using an ATI video capture card for tv with linux. I find the
software even better than ATI's (maybe not quite as nice on interface,
but much better picture quality -- less pixelated close up).
Unfortunately, the software is made specifically for ati. I'm not sure
if there's anything for diamond.
Good luck in your search.

Unfortunately, from what I understand the Lyra needs RCA's special
software to write to it... it does not store plain MP3's but "secure"
MP3's that only the player can decode (remember RCA is a large
record label too).
If you have a 64 MB flash card, either get a digital camera or sell
it. I wanted to use a Lyra too (for the same reason) but had no luck.
This was a couple months ago, so the situation may have changed
FWIW.

Subject: CMI8330 HOWTO
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 20:55:34 GMT
Hi, I've got an Asus P5AB with CMI8330 integrated audio, and I can't
seem to get ahold of the CMI8330 HOWTO anywhere (sites are down and
google cache barfs). It is my understanding that isapnptools is
deprecated with 2.2.x+ kernels (I'm running 2.2.14), so the mini-HOWTO
is out of date.
Due to what I am assuming is PNP fun, all my IRQs and other stuff get
pretty much shuffled between win98 and linux, so I'm hesistant to use
the values reported by win98 when compiling kernel modules.
The last time I tried to get sound working with this mobo (in 2.2.12, I
have since blown away that install entirely) I got tons of DMA errors
and it would play every frame of an mp3 (for example) three times in
rapid succession, once I finally got any sound out of it at all. I'd
like to avoid any such problems this time ;-P Any pointers would be
appreciated.

It gets about 9MB/minute or about 150kB/s but I can't remember if that's
with data compression or not. It might be only 75kB/s. I'd have to
find the manual.

I've never heard of such a system but it seems like it must be for
closed-circuit use. At that data rate (320 bits per line) you'd have to
have a very low noise power on your link --- even the smallest little
blip of static could be mistaken for a bit. I really don't know much
about amateur TV stuff, though, so I don't know what kind of
signal-to-noise ratios they typically get. Maybe they could use a
Teletext system.
In any case I'm still going to crack this card! :-) Ok, talk to you
later

Actually, if you are looking at things from a Windows
centric perspective then there isn't a difference
between the two actually. There's nothing to learn
until you start using local mail or a mail server.

So? You really don't need to know that bit. The NET
howtos are more than adequate when it comes to setting
up various TCP/IP networks. They actually go through it
step by step. They cover the relevant details and don't
bury you unrelevant bits (like the PPP Howto does if
you're trying to use it like the ISP-Hookup howto).
This is actually a good example of a Linux Doc that
ISN'T crappy.

I was about to buy a new AMD K7 600 MHz + Asus motherboard, when I saw a
firm selling "ABIT DUAL BP6 + 2 CELERON 366 TEST. 522MHZ 2.0V" for fewer
money! Is there anyone who has experience with dual overclocked Celerons
running Linux?
Considering that I'll use my Linux box as a workstation, I'd better go
for the 600 MHz K7 or the dual (overclocked) 522 MHz Celeron?
Thanks in advance!

Not entirely true. PM4.0 allows you to create a boot floppy under

It doesn't include everything, but all the needed functionalities are

Well the Tyan S1832 Tiger 100 is running just fine with 2 550MHz
Pentium-III's in it for me. I did no comparison shopping, however. It is
what came with my VA Linux Systems StartX-MP machine. It will not take 4

The latest unstable version of ftape is not 4.03. Go to URL:

Subject: Re: Linux sucks
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 22:27:18 GMT
I'm sorry, but I don't think this gentleman's position is based upon a
"windows centric" way of thinking. I'm not a networking guru or know-it-all,
but I have been networking since the late 80's, and with Linux and the
Internet since 1994. I've been in the computer business (mostly software)
for 20 years. I have to agree: Most Linux documentation *does* suck. Big
Time. As does support from Red Hat -- you ever try to get an answer from
them, or find it on their web site?
However, that being said, Linux, and the supporting Linux community, is a
great Ideal. It's capabilities as a networking engine runs circles around
anything I've ever seen from Microsoft (or Novell) -- and at a fraction of
the cost (mostly free). The support community (newgroups, mail lists, web
sites, etc...) does fill in most of the documentation gaps. And I've always
found someone online who is helpful and knowledgable to assist me with my
most difficult problems.
My biggest problem with the existing documentation is that there are never
any real examples. People are quick to point you to "man" and "HowTo", but
man pages never have any examples of how to use the command, and God help you
if your configuration differs ever so slightly from that of the configuration
used in the HowTo guide you happen to be studying.
Again, that said, the monetary costs of designing, developing and
implementing Linux-based systems is miniscule compared to comparable Windows
system. I will give Microsoft credit for having a helluva KnowledgeBase
which has almost always helped me when I've had a sticky Windows problem.
But Windows is a costly proposition.
Therein lies your trade off: Money or elbow grease.
For the time being, I think the best solution for Linux documentation is what
someone said earlier in this thread: When you finally do learn how to do
something, share that knowledge with others. Either document and post your
findings on the appropriate newsgroup, or browse the newsgroups periodically
to find someone with a question you can answer.
My two cents.

Depends on what you want to do with it. In most cases you'll only see
the full benefit of dual CPUs if you're running two or more
CPU-intensive programs at the same time.
Both types of systems are a great deal. FWIW the Athlon 650 is
probably a better price point than the 600 right now.

It will probably work just fine. Try to find out which (if any) video,
network, modem and other cards it has in it. Then check around to see if
those are supported. If not, you can always replace them with something
that "works out of the box".

Well, I got it working at last by chaning to IRQ 4 and not defining uart
16550A until after isapnp had run.
i.e.:
Used pnpdump to write to /etc/isapnp.conf and ncommented the above
settings (0x3e8 and IRQ 4)
ran 'isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf'
ran 'setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A'
Tahdah, all works.

What about on-board devices? Perhaps other (non-IRQ) resources are causing
trouble? Could you post the relevant /proc/interrupts and other output?
