What crummy burner and/or software are you using that bogs your system down
so badly? I've burned lots of CDs under Win98 with Easy CD Creator and
under Linux with cdrecord, and the only coaster I've made happened when
Win98 locked up during a burn. The drive is a BTC 621E (cheap 2x burner,
but it works), and both the 300-MHz K6-2 I was using before and the 450-MHz
K6-III I'm using now are significantly slower overall than what you're
running. Nevertheless, I don't have to worry much about slowdowns and
buffer underruns no matter what else I happen to be doing.

Try the buyers guide at "embedded Systems" magazine. It lists many
people with single board computers with flash capable of running Linux.
Some as small as a 2 inch (5cm) square).

Subject: new LILO? burning Linux?
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2000 13:07:40 -0400
Hi, I read some months ago that a new version of LILO was under
development which would allow for an install past 1024th cylinder
on disk. I had installed Mandrake 6.x in dual boot environment
(Win98,SE) and ran into LILO problems which I think was because
Win98 had been installed first and occupied space past the 1024th
cylinder of my disk. Is this new LILO version done and does
anyone know what Linux distrubtions currently come with this
version? Also I wanted to download different Linux distributions
off the net at high speed connection (10MB/s ethernet) at work
and try them at home. We have a CD-RW but I don't know what's
involved in setup for downloading and buring a Linux distribution
onto the CD(s). Thanks!
SDG,
Zach

Hi there,
as I see nobody like to help you, OK lets start. First of all you do not
provide as with information which distribution you use. It make our life a
little harder as we do not know about what we are talking now.
Suppouse that you have old distribution like RedHat 6.1. So, in this
case you can just go and read next articles
TNT2:
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/x-windows/tnt2.html
SB Life:
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/soundcards/sblive.html
If you have let say RedHat 6.2 it will much easier as it includes all what
you need.
To configure TNT2 use one of XFree configuration tools
(XFSetup/xf86config/XConfigurator) and select any VideoCard with TNT2
chipset.
Thist chipset supported natively since XFree86 3.3.5. You will get question
about parameters for you monitor and it handy to have monitors specs book
under your hand. NOTE: there is no 3D acseleration there yet.
To configure SBLive just use sndconfig program and it should do the
trick, but before please disable PnP OS in BIOS otherwise you can spend days
to figure out "what is wrong and why it doesn't work". Before playing Audio
CDs please check that you have audio cable between CDROM and SBLive. Check
that you unmuted in mixer audio channels as well (very often appears
messages of this kind).
In case if you would like to get hardware accseleration for your TNT2
you'd better to install XFree86 4.0.1 according instructions set
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/x-windows/xfree_4-gettingstarted.html
and you should be Ok. Do not use MESA library as it disable hardware
accseleration.
NVIDIA driver for your card can be taken from
http://www.nvidia.com/Products/pages.nsf/pages/NVIDIA_Drivers
Ok, good luck

Most Windoze CD-trashi^Wburning programs have an option buried somewhere
about doing an "image copy" or burning a direct disk image. You may
have to rename the .iso file to .CDR for the program to recognize it.
I'm pretty sure Nero has an option to burn an ISO image directly, but I
have never used WinXX CD-writing programs for a serious purpose, so I
don't know about other software....

Yes, but you cannot burn the image as a file but must use the feature

Hi Bill,
all hardware will works but not only "out of box". Most IDE CDRW works except a
few models which is not SCSI-3/mmc or ATAPI/mmc compliant drives. Check that
Dell offer CDRW from next list before buying
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdwriters-1.9.html
main problem which can rise related to HDD as it is not supported in standard
kernels (I don't know about RedHat 7 as officially it is not out) but you can
try to make next trick and may be it will works although originally it was for
Udma66
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/udma66.html
In case if you plan have several OSes on computer you can get problem with 1024
cylinders limit. Just update to latest LILO as it fixed the problem but not
included in any official distribution AFAIK yet.
Personally I am thinking about Athlon system (unfortunately there is no MB for
TWO or MORE CPU yet) with ASUS A7V motherboard. Still motherboards based on
440BX chipset is the best for price/performance but have limits like AGP2x and
Udma33. I like ASUS P3B-F motherboard but it miss these features and I had to
buy Promice Udma100 plus Maxtor 20GB Udma100 disk for digital video editing.
Now my system looks
MB: ASUS P3B-F
MEM: 128MB PC100
Udma100: Promis Udma100
HDD: Fujitsu 8GB Udma33
HDD: Maxtor 20GB Udma100
SCSI: Tekram 315U
DVD: Pioner 104 10xDVD IDE
FireWire: www.dazzle.com
SCANNER: UMAX2400S SCSI
DCAMCODER: Sony DSR-TRV720 Digital8
PRINTER: Epson Stylus 860 Color
OS: Redhat 6.2
Kernel: linux2.4-test4
All HW works, I can scan and print in photo quality, I can download to HDD film
from digital camcoder and can play it on monitor but it slow (decoder require
optimization). System works very stable. I am sutisfied by my system but
looking for new comuter as dedicated server - web/mail/dns/ftp/... for private

I have not used alsaconf, but the VIA 82C686 uses PCI protocols (even
though it is a chip on the motherboard), so you don't care about things
like I/O addresses. Once alsa is installed, you should just need to make
the appropriate entries in /etc/conf.modules:
alias sound snd-card-via686a
alias char-major-14 snd
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a
Reboot (perhaps not necessary) and try a command like
"amixer set Master 50% unmute" and
"amixer set CD 100% unmute"
and see if it works.

Hmmm, www.linhardware.com doesn't have any ratings for the Microstar 694D
