I have an SCSI zip drive too, it's too simple under Linux. Just plug in,
boot your box, mount the Drive and work!!
It will recognize your ZIP drive as a removeable drive. It will not allow
to
eject mounted disks. When unmounted, it will allow ejecting.
There is a package that comes along with the SuSE distribution, called
ziptools, which allows soft-eject, protecting disks, etc.
I do not have any experience with CD-Rs under Linux, but i've heard of
some solutions (cdroast,xcdroast ....). For that reason, i believe it
works.

Chris

One thing about the Diamond Supra Express 56i . . . Make sure it has the
latest code in it's flash ROM. I was having problems with the modem locking
up (could only be cured by off/on cycle - in Linux!!!) until I upgraded.

This is a more-or-less identical config to my machine (excepting the
overclock; I might try that.)
Have you tried the K6 kernel patches? The last I found would only work
against 2.0.36, and I'm still running 2.0.34...

Use the following switches to gcc: -ansi -pedantic
This will ensure that your code is ANSI compliant. Also you should be
careful to use only standard lib functions. See
http://www.dinkumware.com/htm_cl/index.html
If the lib function is not listed there, don't use it.
Other useful switches are -Wall (turn on all warnings), -O (first level of
optimization, which will do more checks on your code than just -Wall), -g
(include debugging info).
In all: -ansi -pandantic -Wall -O -g
See organization line above for some Linux devel links.

According to the DOSEMU folks (www.dosemu.org) Turbo 3.x will run in the

> Sorry my ignorance - but what's that?
Short for Logical Volume Manager. A concept apparently pioneered by
Veritas and picked up by the major commercial Unices (specifically I
know of AIX, Solaris, DU, HP-UX, and IRIX) and being developed for
Linux. Defines a different way to allocate, access and manage file
storage volumes on disks. Key features (I refer to the AIX
implementation here, about which I know the most):
- A volume group, which acts as a sort of meta-partition, if you
will, can comprise multiple physical disks. These can also provide
redundancy not unlike RAID mirroring, as well as plain striping.
The sysadmin can add disks to an LV at will, and take them away.
- Inside a VG you have logical volumes, which are allocated from the
VG like files in a filesystem. Like files, these can be resized,
moved, copied, renamed, etc. They can also be mirrored. Each LV is
a block device.
- On an LV you mkfs a filesystem. Since the LV is a block device this
works just like traditional partitions/slices, except that LV's are
so much easier to manipulate.
- Some filesystems commonly in use with LVM's support resizing. AIX's
JFS, for example, lets you grow it without unmounting. This would
not be very useful with traditional disk partitions or slices, but
makes life much more fun for the sysadmin when the filesystem is on
a (resizable) LV. Wish /home were 80 megs bigger? No problem: have
the system allocate 20 more 4-meg "blocks" for /home's LV, assuming
the VG has that many available. If not, first add another disk to
the VG....
And one more feature that can save a lot of headaches in some
circumstances:
- Disks are recognized not by SCSI ID's or whatever but by a VG
signature. LV's contain a certain amount of metadata as well, so
/etc/fstab is not really needed to figure out what partitions mean
what.
Anyway as I said, an LVM is being developed for Linux. Current release
is 0.4 and is available at ftp.msede.com:/pub/linux/lvm/ . It was
released back at kernel version 2.1.103 or so; don't know how much has
changed since then that would involve the kernel patch portion.

I've been using the SupraExpress in Linux without problem, and I have
left it in plug-and-play mode, if I recall correctly. It works rather
well.
I had to configure the serial connection with setserial, and init the
card with /etc/isapnp.conf file, uncommenting the correct config of
course.

Personally, I prefer NEdit. Simpler, faster, and lighter than emacs, yet
it has superior syntax highlighting and brace matching for programming
tasks, integration with system spell checkers, word-wrap if you want to
do some simple word processing, etc. It is available from Fermi Lab's
public FTP site (ftp.fnal.gov/pub/nedit) prebuilt for almost any Unix
platform, and source available for those that aren't directly supported.
It took me about 5 minutes to port to QNX, so I use it on all the
systems I program on -- Dec Unix, Solaris, SunOS, HPUX, and QNX. There
is a version for Windows NT if you have an X server to run (eXceed for
example).

Maybe it could help you:

2) since you are root in this mode, change your password by typing a "passwd" or

Mirroring is a kind of RAID, here is a howto :

there are more howtos for hardware RAID, etc.
I installed DPT raid in a server and I'm quite

Since my last response to you was sorta nasty, I'll take pity, and not
even mention ...
The easiest and least risky method is to plan to boot Linux off a floppy
at least until you get more comfortable with it and decide to set up
[that means "setup" to those of you from RioLinda] a LILO dual-boot
scheme. When you get near the end of the RH installation, It'll ask
if you want to make a boot floppy. Yes you do. It'll ask if you want
to install LILO into the MBR of the first disk or the boot record of
the Linux partition. No you don't. After the installation completes
put the boot floppy in and reset the computer and it should boot into
Linux.
There are several ways to set up dual booting off the hard disk, but
I'll let you read RTFM about that. Generally, it requires letting
LILO replace your MBR, or putting a (small?) primary partition on
the first disk for LILO to install a secondary boot record into,
which you would mark "active", or using some other boot loader,
like the NT boot loader.

"console" on Linux is the "linux" terminal type. It usually isn't the
same as something that you would telnet in from (unless you are running
in the console on another Linux system).

Terminfo for different terminal types differs (sometimes slightly,
sometimes a lot). If you know the terminal type you're using, you
can find the correct terminfo.

Hi,
There is any way to know the cursor position (at least the row) from
inside of a bash script?

There's monitoring sections in these pages of Gary's Encyclopedia:
http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/sys-admin.html
http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/networking.html
And check out the software sites listed in

The .so file under libc is only needed when linking code
