ok. doing a local ftp copy (linux<->linux) would test the ftp daemon speed.
After that you could look at a tcpdump and check the traffic being generated.
I know the ftp client on windows is crude but that should not be a problem.
If you have apache running you could try transferring via http to check as
well.

I found this on Deja awhile back. I haven't tried it yet. it's a response
to someone who had the exact same problem.

disconnect the burner, fire up lunux, recompile the kernel to DISable "probe

the scsi setup section, shut down, reconnect the burner and linux should
have no further problems getting your hardware to boot.

Spicerun,
A polite suggestion:
CC this message to Diamond. Don't write a different message to
Diamond. Rather, make it very obvious to them that you're publicizing
this in many forums like NewsGroups.
I would research the email addresses of their technical support, their
corporate officers, etc. Make sure they receive a copy of the message.
By the way, just throw the card over here....:-)

Yes I had RHLinux 6.2 on the HDD when I had the HDD installed on
on an old 486.

Not at all. I just want to install RHLinux with this HDD on a `newer'
IBM Ispirati 6X86.

fdisk.
Dos FDISK worked ok but when I tried CFDISK I got a `compressed file
at block 0' before I got to the command line successfully with "Pocket
Linux". Then I deleted the partition and re-created a single partition
TYPE Linux and saved or (W)rote it to the disk. I made another
install attempt with Linux Boot Disk and CDROM installed and still got
`compressed file at block 0'
So I tried "Pocket Linux" again and deleted and re-created the
partition as PRIMARY and DOS 16 bit with CFDISK. Then I tried DOS FDISK
but only to review the contents of the hard disk and not to change
anything. IBM PC DOS 6.3 FDISK sees only 2048meg partitions.

I think the version of DOS survival disk is IBM PC DOS 6.3 and I'm not
sure if it will format as much as 6.4 gig. I'll need to try FREEDOS.
I'll make a FREEDOS survival diskette with the appropriate files with
FREEDOS' 5th beta which has just come out.
Right now, I'm using win98 on an Aptiva and hating the windoze part of
it. I guess it's a `branded' machine (winmodem, winmouse, winkeyboard,
etc.
I just remembered that I have the install floppy for the hard disk when
I first bought it. After the Freedos, I'll install the hard disk with
the install floppy.

Subject: Philips webcam partially works-help!
Date: 28 Oct 2000 00:27:30 GMT
Hello folks! I have struggled to get my Philips Vesta Pro webcam
working under Linux, and finally sent an email to the author of
the Linux usb driver for the cam. I thought it could be useful
to post it here too, in case someone can help me:
===========
Hi! I have recently bought a Philips Vesta Pro webcam and
I am trying to make it function under Linux (it works in
WinBloat 98). The details are below, but to summarize, I
can get one image from the cam using camstream or xawtv, then
the system freezes up totally and I have to reboot using
the reset button. I have searched the info on your site, Usenet,
the web, but cannot solve this. Maybe you can help?
My system: RedHat (6.2?), KDE, kernels 2.4-pre6 (also tried pre8
with the same result), version 2.4.0 test 6 of your webcam modules.
HW: Celeron 450A on an Abit BH6 (BX chipset) mobo, 128MB RAM,
Matrox G400 32MB with TV out. My version of XFree is the default,
i.e. not XFree 4.*, if that is important.
I modprobe videodev, audio, your usb-pwc, usb-uhci, no error messages.
The LED on the cam lights up when modprobing usb-uhci.
If i do a cat /dev/video, the system freezes totally.
My video device files look like this:
==========================
[ale@hlecter /tmp]$ ls /dev/vi*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jun 13 22:54 /dev/video -> video0
crw------- 1 ale root 81, 0 Jan 28 2000 /dev/video0
crw------- 1 ale root 81, 1 Jan 28 2000 /dev/video1

Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 10:59:18 +0900
I tried to install Redhat 6.2 (2.2.16 patched package) on SCSI HDD
attached to SYM53C1010 Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI Controller.
But, this package cannot support this SCSI adapter.
I can find driver source file from http://www.lsilogic.com .
According to driver installation instruction, after installing package,
user must patch the kernel.
But to install package, controller must be found first. Right?
I think that it is possible to make installation disk which support this
SCSI adapter.
Can I solve this issue?
I tried Redhat 7.0, but failed.
I also think that it is possible to make my own Redhat package which
support this adapter, but I don't know how.
Please let me know the solution.

Subject: Adaptec 160 timeout Problem
Hi,
I experienced the same Problems described in posting "adaptec 29160N
problem" (Ant Sims) from 4th of October. I tried all Kernel Versions up
to 2.4.0-test9.
After some heavy IO ( dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null ) i got the following
message:
SCSI host 0 abort (pid x) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid x) timed out - trying harder
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
And some secs. later i got kernel panic.
Unfortunately Windows2000 runs fine with heavy IO.
Something about the system:
BareBone Motherboard, AIC 7xxx (U160)with 2 18G IBM DDYS , IDE CDrom,
2xP3, VIA Chipset, Phoenix Bios (worst i have ever seen).
Perhaps anyone solved this Problem.
regards Martin Hierling

Any "LE" (lance Ethernet) cards should work perfectly under S/Linux.
You should be able to use almost any SBUS ethernet card, although I've
only confirmed that the LE cards work.

Hi,
I am also looking for a similar solution. I haven't been able to get my
Oxygen card to work in any graphics mode except 640x480 from the SVGA
driver. I am not against re-installing 3.3.6 if this is known to get some
