I can't say whether or not it should take this long but I
have observed the exact same behaviour with my drive (also a
Seagate 20GB ATAPI unit). It is my understanding that this
is normal behaviour for Travan drives. There nowhere near
as quick as some of the more expensive tape drives.

Hi i hope someone has had this problem before. I have a HP pavilion 4430
computer and im trying to install a netgear fa310tx network card in this
system. Its running linux (Redhat 7.0) Im pretty new at linux and i looked
around at some other sites for an answer. When linux is starting up it
doesnt find the card when checking for new hardware. Any tips or helpful
guide to do this would be greatly appricated. I thought this was a very
easy card to install i guess not. :) Thxs

Linux does support Serial printers! read the printing-HOWTO as
well as the serial-howtos (might as well read all of the serial ones
and the printer ones. I got my Digital Equipment Letterwriter 100 to
work just fine with a slight modification to /etc/printcap (there is a
sample serial printer there. Modify this to reflect your real
baudrates, Flowcontrol, parity and stop bits.
the Printing-HOWTO mentions how to set this up. Now as for
WHAT software to drive your actual hardware? If this printer is
ascii (dot matrix) and you only want text the regular lpf filter is
all you need. If you want graphics.... you are on your own there!

i dared to install it as if it were an ensoniq 1371, just for curiosity.
to my great delight it worked fine, as my _'real 1373' (also installed
as 1371) does.
just give this a try...
by the way: I installed it by hand, i.e. I modified modules.conf using

Thank you so much!!!
I made a variation for the sake of not confusing myself. /dev/cdrom and
/dev/cdrom1 were sym links to /dev/hdd and /dev/sr0. So I created another
set of symlinks to /dev/hdd and /dev/sr0 named /dev/udf_cdrom and
/dev/udf_cdrom1. I then made different mount directories for them (like you
said), and put in unique entries in fstab (like you said). Now I can mount
either an iso cd or a udf cd in the same drive as a user! Still, I don't
know why the auto entry in fstab doesn't find udf. Maybe this is something
that needs to be addressed in the next version of mount. dunno.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. Are you inquiring on
whether you can run Linux on top of Unix? AFAIK, that isn't an option,
but i could be wrong. I do wonder why you'd want to do such a thing
though.

Subject: Cable modem and DHCP and MAC
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 23:29:47 GMT
Hi all,
Everyone knows that cable modem companies are dhcp complient but at the end
you can use the given IP and treate it as a fixed IP address.
I have two computers, the first one has windows and linux (dual boot) and I
configured its network cards on both operating systems and everything works
just perfect!
Now there is another computer (firegate), and I need to make it my
gateway/firewall/proxy linux server, and I had two net cards in it, I tried
the net cards and tested their operability and they are both working
excellent.
Now on this Firegate computer the first card ifcfg-eth0 need to be connected
to the internet (cable modem)..
Bill helped me to setup the proper network and IP addresses (thanks Bill)
but I still could not get the connection to the internet working, I tried to
ping www.sybase.com and www.oracle.com and even www.microsoft.com and here
what happens:
1) the send and recieve lights on the cable modem are blinking on a rythem,
that the packets are sent and recieved..
2) I do not recieve a successful ping result on my computer screen.
What I am suspecting, is that the cable modem whcih is (TERAYON) has lost
the MAC address that it recognized first (which is on the other computer)
,,,
So is my guess correct?
if no please help me!
second thing, is there a way to re-register a new MAC on the cable modem?
without the use of DHCP or DHCP is a must in this case??
At the end, I really would like to thank all the people who helped me to
have my beautiful linux up and running!!

Eh, what is the definition of a unix system (and a linux system :-)) ?
Unix and linux are operating systems that run on a hardware platform, i.e.
NOT on another operating system.
For example:
- Linux can run on Intel machines (x86)
- Windows can run on intel machines too
- But, Linux does not 'run on' Windows; and Windows does not 'run on' Linux
and
- Solaris runs on Sparc machines
- Linux can run on Sparc machines
and
- Linux can run on PowerPC machines
etc etc

Do you mean running both at the same time?
Closest to what you may be asking for is "vmware". It'll let you run
multiple Intel based O/S's concurrently. eg. Windows and Linux or
Caldera Linux and Turbolinux - you could even create a whole network of
virtual Linux's running on a single PC (if your hardware was powerful
enough) to simulate your real network configuration.
The software for UNIX like Solaris and AIX will not run on Intel
(hardware) systems.

If it's a "GDI printer" that means it is specific to Windows :-(
(GDI = "Graphics Device Interface" which is the programming interface
used in Windows for talking to graphics devices).
You could check www.linuxprinting.org to see if they have any
suggestions for it.

Nope, Windows can't run on Linux, there are programs and
libraries that emulate the Win32/Win16 API's so that you can run
Windows software in Linux, but you can't run Windows itself. Keep in
mind, that even if you were to run explorer.exe and get the /real/
Windows interface, desktop and all, that you're still not running
Windows.
Same thing with OS/2, it supported Win16 software and even
some Win16 device drivers, but it couldn't actually run Windows in one
of it's Windows.

Use "modprobe" instead of "insmod" for general use. insmod is useful
mainly for giving you errors like that. If you do "modprobe ppa",
modprobe queries the /lib/modules/$KERNELVERSION/modules.dep file, finds
the modules that ppa depends on, and loads them in the right order
if they're not already loaded. insmod will do no such thing. The
correct sequence for manually insmodding ppa stuff is like so:
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc (sub appropriately if you have a PPC/Sparc...)
insmod lp
insmod ppa
Also, remember that only older parallel ZIPs use ppa. Newer ones use
imm. HTH,

I think you are misleading on the last paragraph if interpreted broadly.
With OS/2 you could indeed run Windows ( the version current at the time )
on one of the OS/2 windows. You could choose to have the desktop appear on
that window or to have each Windows app put up its own OS/2 window. It is
true
however that insofar as you were running Windows under the OS/2 environment
you were not in fact running Windows. There were, at the time of
introduction,
only a handful of apps designed for Windows that could not be made to
function
properly on OS/2 with Windows.

Subject: IRQ Line Assign
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 01:13:36 GMT
As you can see, that I'm a novice in linux drivers. Here is another problem
I have.
I'm trying to set up the interrupt handler for this PCI to PCI bridde
driver. (any reference for such a driver will be very useful).
When I try to call request_irq with SA_INTRRRUPT or NULL flag the
request_irq fails. I noticed from /proc/interrupts file that the requested
intr is used by my network card.
When I try to use SA_SHIRQ flag it works, but now I get too many calls fro
my handler. Is there a way I can distinguish between intr from my card or
not.
I'm also looking for other options. How can I use a different IRQ line. Is
it possible? (if yes how). FYI, I'm using the IRQ line available in the
pci_dev struct.
Hope to get some response!
Thanks

Well, that's what I meant. Windows of course does not run directly on it,
but you can get a library to do it for you. It's all just software.
