Hi all:
When I boot into Linux I get the following warning:
/dev/hda2: Inode 237785 has illegal block(s)
/dev/hda2: UNEXPECTED INCONSESTENCY Run fsck MANUALLY
fsck RETURNED ERROR CODE - REBOOT NOW
what am I to do about this?
/dev/hda2 mounts as /usr, and can't be unmounted. fsck freaks out that I
want to use it on a mounted partition.
Any input hightly appreciated!!
Thanx,
Arcady

Hi,
What you seem to have is the source code for the driver ( well you have
source
code for something. ). You will need to compile it to produce the
executable.
ie the nic driver itself. You will also need to put it in the right
place
so Red Hat can find it. Can't help there as I use Slackware.
Did you get anything else or just the .c file ?
Source code is readable so you could view it with vi. Maybe, just maybe,
you
will see info as comments in the file to tell you what to do. Otherwise
I
would be inclined to go back to the site you got it from to see if there
are any readme files or installation guides there.
best wishes

Sorry, I don't understand your last sentence. I was taking about long
file names. You can't use long file names, if your dos can't.
Of course can you use the abbreviated names. But that was not my point.
You could be more polite.

Have you tried turning APM support off in the bios. Sometimes you turn
on apm which turns off sumething very important on ocassion and make
linux very unhappy with you.
Try that first an let us know what you end up with.

Hello all..
I compiled SCSI support into the kernal and selected the adaptec 154X
driver for my scsi card.
Everything boot fine until it detects the scsi card, then the process
hangs.
The scsi card is found (the proper IO. IRQ, DMA etc is diplayed) and it
shows 1 device found, but the boot process stops at that point.
Any advice?

Here's a simpler solution: go to ftp.cdrom.com, grab a bare.i bootdisk
and a text.gz or color.gz from Slackware 3.4 or earlier.
If you have text.gz: boot normally from bare.i, switch to text.gz, login
as root, fdisk/mkswap, run 'setup', which will be the older text-based
setup. Install just the a series and lilo/loadlin. Reboot. When the
system comes back up you'll have 4mb + swap, login as root and run setup,
which will be the color version. Install the rest of the packages and
you're done.
If you have color.gz: boot normally from bare.i, switch to text.gz, login
as root, fdisk/mkswap. Then use swapon to load the new swap space, run
setup, which will be the color version. Make sure you do NOT use mkswap
or swapon, just add the swapspace to fstab. The rest of setup will run,
but very slowly. Install all the packages you wish and lilo/loadlin.
The primary difference between the two is whether or not you want to use
swapspace during initial setup or after the first reboot.

.tar (tape archive) files aren't compressed; they're merely concatenated.
With a pager, such as less or more or most, you can read them in plain
text. They are concatenated in order to fit them on a tape in bulk.
.gz (GNU zip) files are compressed. They are not executable.
No unix filetypes are self-extracting, I'm afraid. Extraction using a
decompress utility (gunzip) and deconcatenation utility (tar with the x
rather than c in the arguments) is just as easy and takes just as much
time as self-extraction; it's merely a few keystrokes.
However, you can untar and un-gzip a file on arbitrarily many
architectures, so long as they have ports of tar and gzip. Do you feel
like releasing a different self-executing compressed file for every
unix architecture and OS?

Mmm. Netscape is scarcely in Pine's class.
Netscape doesn't handle PGP signatures. It can't cope
with the way our mail server is set up (sendmail+procmail).
It takes forever to start and forever to execute the simplest
commands. It's editor is lame (no umlauts, no built-in
pocket calculator, no macro recorder). It has a history of
security problems (the MIME tag buffer overload being the
most recent one).
Look, i'm not trying to start a war here. But if you have
a job you want to get done, get the best tool. If you want
a shiny looking tool you can impress your siblings with, get
netscape.

By the way, I completely agree with John.
People should read the licences very carefully. You'll discover that
a lot of licences are not compatible.
There's a large number of people who are pro-GPL but haven't even read
the licence and thought carefully about what it means. Most of them
are not programmers.
Myself, as a _programmer_, I long ago got completely fed up with
GNU-licensed source-code restricting what I can do with my part of the
source code. I don't even look at GNU-licenced source code anymore.
Well, except to read it, understand what it does, and then re-write it
from scratch, to be FREE.
I believe in code that a 'user' is able to take, and then basically do
whatever the hell they want with it. You are invited to turn it into
or incorporate parts of it into commercial product!
Free software -- making the corporate programmer's job easier by
letting him cut-and-paste if he wants to.
