This won't support long file names, use 'vfat' instead of 'msdos' to get
this (also depends on whether such support has been included in you
kernel (usually is though). Also, if this works, to save having to
remember all that command, edit the file /etc/fstab to include a line
something like:
/dev/hda3 /win95 vfat noauto,user 0 0
see man page on fstab for more detail on this file and what the various
bits mean. But once this has been done, you should be able to just type:
% mount /dev/hda3
and it will get looked up from the /etc/fstab file (think you could also
type 'mount /win95', but I'm not sure off the top of my head and my
linux box is at home.

Someone has written a Windoze utility to read (and write I think) to
ext2 partitions, but I cannot remember the name of it or where it's
kept. I seem to recall there were reliability issues about it though
that may make it trash your HD under W95 (it apparently works fine from
WinNT). The link has been posted somewhere in one of the following NG's

I do that with TeX and PSTricks, making a label for the CD
itself and both top and bottom covers for the case too.
It is not a simple plug and play package, but if you have
some experience with TeX it shouldn't be too hard to figure
out how to modify it for any given brand of CD label blanks
and any given type of a label/cover you want. As is, what
I have prints an eps image on the right side of the CD label
and on the back of the case cover. It prints a duplicate of
the CD label on the case top cover. A title and a copyright
notice go on the sides of the case cover (folded over from
the back cover). In addition to the image on the CD label,
there is a title on the top, a logo image at the bottom along
with a date. A copyright notice and address are printed in
a arc around the edge of the disk. All of the above is in
color, of course.
I'll email you the basic package as is if you would like to
see it.

For my own part, I've been reading some law books recently because I

don't trust (or really expect, given a possible malpractice claim) a

I have a solution for you, as well as a question of my own...
I upgraded my kernel to 2.2.3, and built the kernel with the
soundblaster
support as modules.
Look in the kernel documentation directory
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Sound
There is a file called VIBRA16 or something close to that. In it there
is a configuration file that you can save out to isapnp.conf. You will
need to upgrade your isapnp package, so go to a RPM repository and
get 1.17 or 1.18 from there.
The other thing you will need to do is set up your conf.modules (or
modules.conf) file correctly. In the kernel documentation directory,
there is another file called README.Modules. That has all the info
you need to set that file up.
OK. That will get you half way there. My Vibra when configured like
this will play 8-bit sounds only. When I run RealPlayer it will only
make noise when I disable 16-bit sound.
My question to everyone out there is How do I get my Vibra Soundblaster
PNP
to play 16-bit sound?
Thanks in advance,

since you ask:

hedonistic dissipation. he took his money (how much from daddy?) and

2. their system of production is more or less equivalent to wage

yes, maybe ms is a product of bill's psychosis, but for me, if it
walks like a duck...
you could have argued that the nature of the information industry
somehow negates the fundamentals of capitalism, but you seem more
concerned about defending the image of capitalism. admitting that ms
is capitalist, will make capitalism look bad, which i guess is a
problem for you because you have an emotional comittment to
capitalism. essentially, you're halfway to giving up on capitalism
already. you might as well take the plunge, because it will be easier

At the very least, you will need to create a swap partition and such.
And there's the issue of the boot partition... I'd do a minimal
installation, then move your old system over (i.e., /etc, /home, etc.)
partition by partition. Make sure you make a good back up of everything
first!

Well, there are several reasons I want to move it. First of all, it works
perfectly, second of all, the drive that it's currently on is slow and very
old and I don't really trust it anymore. That and I don't really have room

Wait a second... crazy idea... has anyone ever moved a Linux installation
using Patition Magic 4.0 for Windows? I know it sounds crazy, but I've used
it very successfully to move NT before and it claims to do Linux... that's
just another thought too...

Simple. Setup the new drive with fdisk, etc and mount it under /mnt.
Mount all the partitions there, just like it'd be if you booted
up.. you know, /mnt /mnt/usr or whatever you like. Then do
cd /
find . | grep -v /mnt | grep -v /proc | cpio -dpmu /mnt
You should be able to edit your lilo.conf to point to the new drive,
then run lilo, then boot the new drive. This has worked for me, but I
may have left something out, so check the man pages and THINK before
you act.

Hello
During installation you cannot configure the NIC. Therefore after complete
installation follow the procedure given below.
1. Execute the command "insmod tlan" at the prompt. 2. Execute the command
"netconf" at the prompt. 3. Configure the NIC by selecting the "Basic Host
Information option" and entering the IP Address, Netmask, Net device as eth0
and Kernal as tlan. 4. Select the "Gateway and routing" option from main menu
and fill in the detail of Gateway address and without fail enable the Gateway
option. 5. Accept the changes and exit from utility. 6. If you are installing
Redhat Linux 5.0 or 5.1 add the line "insmod tlan" in
/etc/rc.d/init/d/network. 7. To confirm about the configuration execute the
command "ifconfig -a" which will display the details of your NIC configured.

Hi Everybody,
I'm trying out a Linux/Apache combination as a web server. Our
test model uses a lot of files (160,000) so we've tried both software and
hardware RAID at level 0.
The odd thing is that the Linux software RAID outperforms the hardware
RAID. I suspect the megaraid driver just isn't very good. There's plenty
of unused memory and CPU on the system, I don't know where the bottleneck
is. Perhaps I'm missing something? (So far the only suggestion I've
recieved is to switch to FreeBSD but I'll stick with Linux for now.)
The system is a 1-CPU 450MHz HP box, 1GB RAM, and a NetRAID 3Si controller
with 6 10,000 RPM SCSI disks. We've tried the 2.0.36 and 2.2.3 kernels as
well as the .92 and .96 megaraid drivers. I also upped the max number of
files, inodes, and percentage of memory used for file system cache in /proc.
Apache has plenty of servers configured (MaxClients, MaxSpareServers,
StartServers, etc) and doesn't appear to be a problem here.
Thanks for any help, ideas, or pointers you all can give.
-Greg

How long does it take to fill up a 64k code+data segment? Now
how long does it take to fill up a 4gb code+data segment? I'm
sure that one of the days we'll see programs that are larger
than this, but it may not be for a couple of year yet. If we
can live with a maximum of 4gb of space per program (that's 4
times the current limitation, 2 times if you do kernel hacks)
the kernel will be the only entity that needs to worry about
segment+offset addresses.
segment+offset addresses are a bit of a pain, but if you're
programming in a higher level language they certainly aren't more of
a pain than the 68ks separate address and data registers were.

i can accept multiple processes, none of which take up more than 2 (or
perhaps 3) GB each, yet the whole thing needs more than 4 GB to fit
into memory. the heavyweight application (yes singular, if you had
two independents, you could run them on two boxen) will need to be
written so that it uses multiple processes. some database type stuff
may already be in such a form.

the 68k was a wonderful processor. C compilers could easily figure
out the difference between an int and a pointer and put the right
thing in the right slot. that wasn't a pain at all. you could pretty
much guess what the C code would translate into. the m68k was a fine
cpu.
the small, medium, compact, far, huge memory model thing was much more
difficult. i remember working on both m68k and x86 back in 1990 and
the m68k just *so* much easier to deal with. x86 has register
over-specialization in combination with a dearth of registers. the
16 bit segments made it suck that much more.
i remember coding C for the x86 in 16 bit mode and it was no fun to
juggle memory models. huge pointers will break C++ for sure. look at
NULL, it's an int (or maybe a long). things go wrong if pointers are
64 bit quantities and NULL is a 32 bit thing. i am not sure if the
standard allows NULL to be 0LL. i know it disallows (void *) 0
(stupid yes, but that's how it is).
if i ever need to address more than 4 GB from a single process, it is
high time for me to get a 64 bit processor. it's as simple as that.

Subject: PHP3 and SuSE 6.0

When Apache was installed on one of my systems from the SuSE 6.0
installation CD, a server side scripting language called PHP3 was
included. Last week, I installed the Apache source package and added
the SSLeay patch and built Apache SSLeay. I looked for the PHP3
package so that I could also compile that as a module for Apache
SSLeay. Unfortunatly, I could not locate the package that PHP3 is
in. Can anyone point me to it? I want the source package so I can
compile it as an Apache module.
Thanks

Yup indeedoodaladeedily it is! It can be found in any of the HOWTO
archives, including the ones on your RH cdrom.

Hm. I remember it has happened to me, too. But I don't recall that
it has happened with recent Emacsen. Was something done recently in
that area?

Hey fellow Linux users! I'm going to be moving my current RedHat 5.2 Linux
server to a new hard drive. Everything in the system is going to be the
same, just a new /sda drive. I'm just curious if anyone has a procedure to
do this of if it is documented anywhere. I thought I would do a cp -a * (or
a few with correct tmp mount points), then boot from a floppy with the new
HD as root and run LILO, but I'm fuzzy on how to set up the /proc and /dev
filesystem.... and if there are going to be any issues with the swap
space... Thanks everyone! Any help would be very appreciated!
