In Windows select...
Control Panel ==> System ==> Device manager ==> Sound, video, and game
controllers
- Put the mouse cursor on the sound card
- Right click
- select "Properties"
- select "Resources"
That should give the list of I/O ports, IRQ's, and DMA channels used
by the device. Write the numbers down and use them in linux.

So what? You'd expect that kind of behaviour since you don't have
ANYTHING in your rpm database, as you don't use rpms to install your
system with. Ignore it.

This is not an obstacle. It's what's INSIDE the package that may or may
not be compatible with yoru system. Not the package itself. It's
trivial to convert an rpm to a tgz and vice versa, and slackware has
native support for rpm anyway.

I am unable to follow what you are saying. What is an "extention"? Do
you mean a suffix as part of their name? Yes, well, most file
names have a suffix part. What has gnu make got to do with this?
Are you saying that you don't know what to do with them? And you are
running make to see what it does, and it doesn't do anything with them
either?

Not until you give a clearer description of your problem, I'm afraid.
What did the instructions say, by the way?
I suggest you list the package contents - for the package that is
worrying you and ask a clear question: "where do I put X?" List
what the readme has to say about X too.

There are two versions of SuSE Linux 7.1 available. The first one is called
"Personal Edition", which indeed does not have the features you were
talking about above. Personal Edition comes on three CDs. However, then
there is the Professional Edition, which comes on 7 CDs and should have all
the features you were talking about above.

Well I can add on the Dell side....we started getting rid of all server
systems at the company I work. We have now 2 Dell 4400, 2 dell 4300, 1 Dell
2400, 1 Dell NAS, 1 Dell PowerVault back-up system, and 1 Dell 6400. (and I
might be missing one or two)....as far as RAID is concerned we have a spare
drive for each box, in failure we just swap it, reboot, and we are on our
merry way after the drive initializes and so forth....the thing is we have
never had to do this yet...as far as dell support is concerned, when it
comes to replacement and keeping with their maintenance programs they are
great (of course we have 2 hour maintenance response time, so if a box blows
and dies, we can get a replacement in 2 hours), the only best company that I
have dealt with when it comes to tech suppost is CISCO......

That depends on which version of XFree86 comes with each distro.
(Nitpick: most video cards don't have "drivers", they have X-servers.)
Most recent distros ship with both XFree86 3.3.6 and one of the 4.0.x
series. 3.3.6 supports a lot of different video cards. 4.0.x adds
support for some of the latest and greatest cards, but has broken
support for some older models.
Almost anything will work, but stay away from S3. If you need 2D
quality, go for a Matrox G400. If you want fast OpenGL 3D, go for an
nVidia TNT2 or GeForce. If you want something cheap that works, go with
an ATi Xpert98 or Xpert99. HTH,

Depending on his kernel version, it will not compile without porting it.
The fa311.c source depends on device header structures which were
present in 2.0.36 but disappeared by 2.4.0. There are additional
dependencies in the fa311.c code on structures/variables which will
probably be eliminated or changed as the netdevice code is further
cleaned up in the kernel, so any kernel upgrade may potentially break
the driver.
I've managed to get the fa311.c code to compile under 2.4.0. Basically,
all you have to do is to replace the set_bit calls for tbusy and NET_BH
with the new netif_... queue functions, change the enet_statistics
structure to a net_device_stats structure, change all the "device"
structures to "net_device" structures, and change one u16 to an unsigned
long, and it compiles and runs fine. I'll post a patch in this
newsgroup (modified code is at work right now).
Where else should I send it ?
Looking at 2.2.18 source, it looks like the xmit queue stuff should
still work using set_bit tbusy, the flag in question is still a ushort,
and a device rather than net_device structure is used. Probably for
2.2.x, all you would have to change is one line in the fa311.c code,
replacing the enet_statistics type to a net_device_stats type, and it
should compile --- you must also modify the Makefile and Config.in to
get choices in make xconfig, or whatever, of course, and to get the
module to compile as part of "make modules".

Hi folks,
Can anyone reccomend a 56K v90 modem which works for both Linux and
Windows in the UK. I've tried the US Robotics site...they have a US one,
but the UK site only lists Windows compatable modems (including the
external one supposedly!). Can anyone tell me why there is a difference
in the USA and Europe modems? or could I use a USA one like the US
Robotics Performance Pro 56K (model 3CP5610A) which sounds ideal...

Subject: CD Burning Question
Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 10:27:30 -0800
I have a RedHat 7.0 system with a SONY CD-RW CRX120E drive, which I
want to
use to burn (data) CD's This system also has a 3ware RAID controller,
which uses its
own SCSI driver.
I've configured and loaded the ide-scsi module, but the system doesn't
seem to be
detecting the CD-RW drive correctly. See relevant portion of
/var/log/dmesg output
below, followed by my attempt to invoke xcdroast. Following that, I put
the output
of lsmod, and the relevant portion of my .config file for the kernel
compile.
Ideas on what's wrong appreciated.
Also, a question related to the CD burning process. What I want to do is
duplicate a
data CD. The system has one CD drive - the Sony indicated above. I'm
assuming what
I do is:
1) Read/copy from the source CD to a temporary location on my hard disk,
then
2) Write/copy from the temporary location on my hard disk to the target
CD (ie. "burn a CD")
Do I have to do a mkisofs for both the temporary hard disk location, and
for the target
CD, to make iso9660 filesystems, prior to the copies in both cases? Does
this mean I have
to have a "spare" partition on my hard disk available on which to make
the iso9660
filesystem? What command do I use to do the actual copying .... "cp" or
something
else?
Thanx!

As I boot with lilo, I can't do fdisk /dev/hdd. I have cleaned the
harddisk using "dd if=/dev/zero ..." (which I don't remember exactly
right now). I have tried "linear", "hdd=1024,64,63 hdd=noremap", etc.
in vain. What would be the problem? Thank you in advance.
