You must have installed the driver for your sound card like I had to for
my SB Live. My RH 6.1 install program found the SB Live and reported it
was not supported. I have sound, playing MP3's and wav's, but can't get
system sounds to work in KDE. I too don't have the /soundcard or /sound
directory. If you find an answer let me know and I'll do the same.

Subject: SB Live Works but...
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 16:03:06 GMT
I used the sndconfig tool to install my SB Live. It found the SB Live
card but said it was not supported. I went to opensource.creative.com
and downloaded the emu10k1 driver. I installed that just fine and my
sound works (plays CD's, wav's, and MP3's), but I can't get the system
sounds to work in KDE. Apparently, when the sysconfig tool installs the
sound card, it makes a directory /soundcard or /sound. I have neither
so I can't to the ln thing and point to /sound. Is there a fix to this
or am I just stuck? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Dan:
There is no such thing as a 1k or a 2k refreash rate. These numbers
refer to the size of the on chip cache. The speed improvments of these
DRAM chips are gained by having a static cache on chip. There exist a
period inwhich the chip cannot replenish the cache, but that is not
depended upon the size of the cache. It is the always existing re-write
cycle that DRAM chips have had sine the first DRAM chip was made by
Intel in 1975(?). AS Grant says, it is 32 ms for these EDO chips.
Since EDO designers borrowed the cache technique from the SDRAM design,
The biggest difference between the two designs has been the internal
organization memory cells with SDRAM having the faster copyrighted
design. Sorry to get off on the technical side. Hope this helps.

I do have one note to make about this device.
The unit I got would not co-exist with any other devices
on the same IDE channel. Didn't matter if it was master or
slave, if there was another device you couldn't see it.
I started to correspond with TAPR about this, but then got
in some Sandisk FlashDrives, which do not have this problem, and
just put it on the shelf. If TAPR has fixed this problem someone
let me know, maybe I can exchange my unit. I'd probably buy more
of the TAPR units if they have, since it's VERY convenient being
able to pop CompactFlash cards in and out of the TAPR unit.

I am having trouble connecting to my ISP with a modem. I can CONNECT with
either a US Robotics Voice Fax External Modem or a US Robotics V- Everything
Courier External Modem. After the connection is established, my username and
password is sent (following the ISP request for a username and password. The
connection then shows:
Entering PPP Mode
IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <--- one of the ISP addresses is displayed
MTU is 1524.
The connection then times out after about 30 seconds.
Is there something else that requres configuration besides the primary and
secondary DNS and accepting an ISP assigned IP address?
I am able to easily configure Win 95 or Win 98 to connect to the ISP, but
under (Caldera 2.3) Linux, it appears that there is something missing.
Does anyone have an idea what other configuration is necessary?

It sounds like /dev/sda has now become /dev/sdb. The disks are detected
acording to their SCSI id, so you need to make sure that the new disk,
the one that you wish to be /dev/sdb, has a higher SCSI id than the old disk.

Generally. Win_whatever won't work with anything without Windoze.
Because most of the functions are coded into the Winbloatz. The modem
itself is NOT a real modem.

From: Dragos-Anton Manolescu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 26 Mar 2000 12:48:34 -0600
I have 2 computers running Mandrake 7.0. The main difference between
them is the clock speed--120 vs 500MHz. I've been using a TDK
Cyberexpress modem (PCMCIA) for dialup in the 120MHz computer for
about 3 years now. However, I can't get it to work with ppp on the
500MHz computer. The modem is recognized Ok by the PCMCIA package, and
setserial displays the same status on both computers. As far as I can
tell, the problems are caused by one of the programs in the ppp suite:
Mar 26 07:53:55 hoth pppd[2872]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
Mar 26 07:53:56 hoth chat[2896]: Can't get terminal parameters: Input/output error
Mar 26 07:53:56 hoth pppd[2872]: Connect script failed
Mar 26 07:53:57 hoth pppd[2872]: Exit.
I have searched with altavista and someone suggested redirecting the
I/O for chat. I've changed /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp and
now it reads:
connect "/usr/sbin/chat $chatdbg -f $CHATSCRIPT </dev/modem >/dev/modem"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
However, this hasn't solved my problem. Is the version of chat
distributed with Mandrake ($Id: chat.c,v 1.25 1999/09/06 05:10:23
paulus Exp $) broken?

This depends solely on the kind of work/play you plan to do. If you tend
to run multiple jobs and still want good console response, the
multi-processor system is far better. If all you tend to do is run
single jobs with few background processes, the PII uniprocessor will
give far better performance.

This will depend on the printer. The Optra will just print it as you
would expect. The only caveat is that it suffers from the "staircase
effect"; it needs both newlines and carriage returns to print
properly. This is covered in the HOWTO.
This is what pine does by default. You can configure pine to use a
nice filter like enscript or something similar; this will produce
prettier output.

Anyone in this thread know of any other inkjet printers

What version of RedHat are you using? 6.0 and later support both Mach32 and
64 cards. The standby when you get this sort of problem is to use SVGA16
Xserver which is quite a handy server. To get to it you need to use
XF86Setup and from the list of servers choose SVGA16 as the server to use.
You may need to install it first. In fact you probably do not have the
Mach64 server installed in the first place so you might install that too!

There is some truth to that, easy installation is not equivalent to
well installed or long term ease of use. However, our group at
SUNY Albany has recently began playing with Mandrake Linux 7.0 (out
of the box, not a network install). The Mandrake installation script
seems pretty slick, and makes for a relatively easy installation.
We have had a few minor glitches in the installed system, but so far we have
found bug reports and work arounds. Our sysadmins are Redhat fans, and
since Mandrake 7.0 uses Redhat 6.1, they like it.
If you are an old time Unix user (say like me) all this transparency
can make it hard to determine just what is going on during the install
(say to identify which configuration files I might want to hand edit).

I recommend a boxed set if you can afford it, the installation guide should
more closely match your installation.
