Optra 40 is native PostScript Level 2. Just install it as a postscript
driver and you are set.
That is how mine is working.

Did you apply the patch correctly? If so, you should have it there.

Bill, I checked out the SMC7004BR Barricade router. It looks viable and it's
in my price range. ($179 on Pricewatch.) I have some (rather basic)
questions about it:
1. Have you used the SMC7004BR Barricade to network, specifically, a Win2000
box and a Linux box? (Really, my question is, will the SMC7004BR Barricade
work with Win2000 and Linux?)
2. Besides the SMC7004BR Barricade and some CAT5 cabling, do you need any
other hardware, like a hub? If so, is there a particular hub that you use?
3. I have bellatlantic.net DSL connection, and I do not have a static IP. Do
you speculate that I would be able to share my DSL connection with my Linux
box using the SMC7004BR Barricade?
4. Question for the group: Does anyone have experience setting up a DSL
connection, with a dynamic IP, using RH7.0?
Thanks again for any light you can shed.
Kind regards,
Eric

Yeah, I ran Red Hat 6.2 with a Savage 2000 fine, using the SVGA server.
Since upgrading to Red Hat 7.0 though, nothing but problems (You might have
seen my postings on various X/Linux related newsgroups). At the moment I'm
trying to get help uninstalling XFree86 4.0.1 and putting on 3.3.6 instead.
Haven't had any success yet...

Well the question was about a RH install. I have no idea how Mandrake
set it all up but i notice you mentioned "scsi stuff". Perhaps they swop
device back and forth, loading ide-scsi etc. only when you access the
burner? It's perfectly OK to access the CD-Rom part of the hardware as a
pure IDE device of course.
I personally found it practical to link a scd0 to dev/cdrom once and for
all. Less mess.

Subject: problem with ethernet card - eth0: card reports no resources
Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2000 23:30:59 GMT
I have RH 6.2 running on a PIII 866, ASUS CUV4X mobo, 512 MB
RAM with an Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100. Running on
a switched 10/100 Intel 510T hub connected to a T1. I'm getting
numerous resource error messages in my log file every day.
Example:
Oct 4 14:17:25 hostname kernel: eth0: card reports no resources.
A lot of ftp traffic is passing through this card, on the order of 1-2 GB
per day within the LAN so has a continous load on it.
How do I resolve this? I'm unsure what the problem is exactly
with the 100 Mbs ethernet card.
Thanks

Prakashan,
In your first posting, you said you did a 'make bzdisk' but your lilo
parameters have you trying to boot off your hard drive (/boot/whatever).
That's not good. If you want to boot off a floppy, you don't need lilo. If
you want to use lilo, you will be booting off your hard drive, which means
you'll need to do a 'make zImage' or 'make bzImage' and then point the
'image=' parameter in /etc/lilo.conf to wherever you put the kernel.
Second, when you did your make menuconfig, did you select the 'generic scsi
support', etc. as <M> or <*>? If you did <*>, then there won't be any
modules generated.

I've never used one, but even so I can say 'yes' to this question. Ethernet
is ethernet is ethernet. Unless you're using some unstable, broken kernel,
it _will_ work.

If you are having troubles applying the patch, you may prefer to try
the 2.4.0test8 kernel which is pretty stable and includes the driver
in the standard distribution. Or wait until 2.4.0 is officially
released if you don't like using officially unstable kernel releases.

Had a similar problem on my home machine after upgrading to mandrake 7.1
from 7.0. System ran slower (setiathome ran about twice as slow) and
would lock up when X was left running. I suspect Xfree 4.0 as the system
would stay stable, if still slower, if X was never started.
I've since have gone back to mandrake 7.0 with XFree 3.3.6 without
problems.
System:

128 megs ram
dlink 10/100 NIC

Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2000 00:05:36 GMT
I used the pdq-o-matic tool to generate a settings script
for the Epson Stylus Color 760. I appended the generated
script info to my /etc/pdq/printrc file. I downloaded and
used gimp-print v3.1.9 to generate the stp driver, then
recompiled ghostscript with the .c and .h files as described
earlier.
I checked out the pdq file, and it definitely is looking for
device stp and printer model epson 760.
I carefully scrutinized the output of the ghostscript
rebuild
and the new files are getting compiled. The gs -h command
shows that the stp device is supported.
I ran the pdq printer wizard and accepted the default
settings
for the most part. Exceptions: I went with 720dpi High
Quality
instead the default 360 setting. I also selected a direct
port
connection to /dev/lp0, as opposed to going through lpr.
Any more suggestions? Please??
