Hi, everyone, I have one problem with my modem. The modem is ROCKWELL
V.90 PCI F/M/V. It works well under Wondows 95 (on COM2), but under
Linux 2.0.36, no response from the modem when dailing out with minicom.
Any suggestions and comments are welcome! Thanks.

hi,
also ich kenn mich auch nicht so gut aus, allerdings habe ich mehrmals
gelesen das wenn man sich als root remotem��ig einloggen will auch in der
rc.config das bekannt geben muss , weil das Standartm��ig deaktiviert ist!
Aus Sicherheitsgr�nden!
Versuche es einfach nochmals mit Login eines Benutzers!
Und wechsle dann, falls es dann klappt , mit
su -l "Root-Passwort" auf die Root-ebene!
Also falls es ein anderes Problem ist! Keine Ahnung :) weiter forschen!

Hi.
I'm not a Linux expert and I try to install apache v1.3.3 in rpm format.
When I do this, I have a depencies fail cause it need libdb.so.3
The one I have is libdb.so.2 that comes from glibc-devel-2.0.7-19
Whe can I find the good one ? I'm unable to find another version of glibc (I
lokked in newsgroup and on rufus.w3.org). And if I find, will I have no
problem upgrading ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Have you tried the "mem=24M" after the append= line in the lilo.conf file?
Have you tried the "limit memory to 16M" option in the kernel config options?

For reasons that I've yet to determine, my Netware FS is invisible
until after I've telnetted or otherwise communicated with other,
non-Netware computers. Once that has been done, slist and pqlist
and other ipx/ncp utilities work fine. Have you tried that?

What? You mean SLS wasn't famous? I think I remember a flamewar raging
on comp.os.linux back then about which distribution was the best between
SLS 1.0.3 (shipping with kernel 1.0 IIRC !) and the first Slackware version.
The more it changes, the more it remains the same :-)

If you are running RH 5.1 or 5.2 and haven't done any hacking to your
system,
then do the following.
Go the the kde site and get "qt-1." whatever minor version i386.rpm
also get
kdesupport-1.0-7rh51
kdelibs-1.0-7rh51
kdebase-1.0-7rh51
kdegames-1.0-5rh51
i386.rpm's
log into the machine as root, (make sure no one is using X on any
console)
and run the following from the directory where you just put these files.
rpm -Uvh qt* kde*
then cp /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.rh-orig
and cp /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.kde /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
Then logout and log back in as your regular user and run "startx"
This should bring up KDE, if you have any more problems, write back.

Thanks a lot! I may very well do that as I am now in addition to a

(Sun Solaris/IBM (RS/6000) AIX/NCR) and the only one I can run at home

Try mounting the drives on FreeBSD the same as on LINUX...
mount -u -o noatime -o async /usr
mount -u -o noatime -o async /var
mount -u -o noatime -o async /
By default, writes are sync on FreeBSD.

Hmmm, you did enable module version checking when you compiled the

Is the dependency file up to date (depmod -a)? If all this is not the
cause of the problem, then I'd guess that you probably did not compile
certain modules which others depend on (for whatever reason).
What else...? Recent modutils? Wrong aliases?
good luck,
Frank

Hi,
there's a tool called 'alien' which can convert Packages between .rpm,
.deb and .tgz formats.
I've used it to convert to Debian format and had no problems installing
afterwards on Debian 2.0 from my new .deb package. As ASE installs
solely under one directory .tgz shouldn't be a problem either.
Hope that helps,
Ergo

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello
Does anyone out there know how to get the serial ports working
under Linux 2.2.0? I'm trying to run the pilot-link suite, and
pilot-xfer keeps saying something along the lines of
"cannot bind to /dev/pilot"
/dev/pilot is a symlink to /dev/cua1 at the moment
I understand that something has changed in 2.2.0 with cua ports
but I'm not clear what I'm supposed to do with them.
Cheers

Yes it does, and RedHat will autodetect it.
However, you may find problems with the card "flippin out" temporarily
switching between 10 and 100 MB modes.
Use the dos-utility to set the mode to your network speed in the

There are a lot, but all are either "under construction" or short
of unusable (mMosaic simply crashes). I liked Netscape 3.04 but on
a glibc system and no sources available ... too messy.
Netscape 4.x is quite usable, I cannot see the problem but it is
a memory hog too. Yes, there is the Mozilla project ... anyone who
knows about its memory footprint (roughly ... if its > 128MB just

I'm not pretty, that would not be a problem so.

Subject: SiS5597 / 5598 chipset
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 13:12:05 GMT
Hello !
Can seemingly only install Linux with VGA 16 colour display. The
problem appears to be video chipset SiS 5597 / 55978. Is this
unsupported by Linux. I have Xfree86 3.3.2 / Red Hat 5.1
I believe their are commercial (and non-commercial ?) alternatives
available. Is this the answer. I hope not as Linux is for home
wokstation use and I am an impoverished student !!
Would respondents be kind enough to reply via email to me in addition
to posting to Usenet.
Many Thanks,
Barrie Wood

Yes, I'm afraid the Mentifex meme/spam is slowly mutating so that it defeats
current immune systems. However it's not much more harmful than the common cold.
There is some hope that Mentifex may evolve into something intelligible, useful
or at least on topic, but at this rate it may take some time before we even get
to the stage of simple Eliza program.
I was looking forward to coding the PDAImind in C, but unfortunately the
algorithm contains a "something magic happens here" step which I was unable to
translate.

There is a compiled version. Just untar it and run x11amp
You have to compile your kernel to run sound first though. Make sure you can
play wav files and then try x11amp.

Using PM 4.0
I noticed that if you add space to the end of the ext2 partition, then lilo
works ok
but if you delete/add any partitions before your linux partition or move the
linux partition within that drive or to another drive, or add space to the
beginning of the linux partition then you need to rerun lilo

Subject: Serial Console -- What's this?

Hi!
I recently came across the term "serial console" for Linux. Is this the
same thing as a virtual console? Serial communications related? Any ideas?
