Did you remember to re-run lilo after you made your
changes? If you didn't, lilo is still trying to use the old
configuration and will fail.

If you are using gpm which was setup at install time, it set the
responsiveness at default, which is like 15. To fix this, edit your startup
scripts and add the option "r -30" to the gpm line. this will change the
responsiveness to about the speed in windows.

You can say volcheck and then use

Generally yes, usually this only occurs in butchers or cheese shops
where the monetary values and weights are similar for some products
(such as offal and mince) or you buy in multiples of 1/4lb when the
product costs about �4/lb. e.g. cheese.

Only for weight - many English people would think that one were being
ignorant if an American used lb as an abbreviation for pounds sterling
(no personnal slight intended).

Why anyone is crying over the PIII ID on a linux n.g. is beyond me.
I am just sitting back, thinking about all the poor fools stuck with
MS products laughing. On the other hand, it won't be long before someone
writes a watchdog program for MS machines that will report the curent
status of the ID enable/disable.
We (linux users) will have the option of turning this on or off. We
will be able to examine every open-source application for queries to the
processor ID.
Sites that require this ID will be provided with either the processor
ID, or whatever I feel like sending them today. [I miss the feature
in the old Mosaic browser that let me set the http-agent string].
Another thing to keep in mind. Many companies that operate intranets
with firewalls and proxy servers do not want information on their
internal network configuration sent out to the world. If it doesn't exist
already, it would be easy to build a proxy that would strip all cookie
and agent information from http packets.
The one use I consider to be benign, for which this ID has a legitimate
use, is as a built-in 'dongle' for commercial s/w copy protection.

Yeah..delete it. It is probably a symlink that points to a nonexistant file
that used to be in one of your library directories. Check /lib , /usr/lib
and /usr/local/lib for that file, when you find it, rm it.

Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 06:49:08 GMT
You'll need $$$ and a big case. SuperMicro sells cases that are spec'd for
Xeon Slot 2 boards. Most Slot 2 boards will come with onboard SCSI and
ethernet. The most common seems to be an Adaptec 7895 dual channel chipset
and an Intel EtherPro 10/100. Both are supported with kernels 2.0.36 and
higher.
Still, for the price of a Xeon 450 with 512K cache you can get a PIII 500Mhz
or two PII/450s. You be within 90% of the performance of the Xeon.
I'm partial to Tyan SMP boards, but SuperMicro also makes good SMP boards.
The new Tyan 1852 (correct number?) has 6 PCI slots 1 AGP slot and built in
2940U2W scsi. The 1836DLUAN, which I use, has the same specs but is a slot 1
board with a 3940UW onboard.
All the best,
WT

About the colour "ls" command.
I've got it on my system, but I like to use "ls -al" to list files, and so
often the list is larger than the screen, and hence I have to pipe it to a
pager. But, more and less seem to destroy the colours which ls puts in.
Does anyone know of a way of allowing the colours to get through the pager,
or a different pager which does work ?
Thanks.

If you're really a (self-proclaimed) net veteran, then you must know that
you're wasting everyone's time when you flame others before checking your
own work. Further, you surely must know that these groups are populated by
people whose interest is furthering Linux, and that they give their time
freely. Much of what I do at the community network where I work is
volunteer, and I can say that I'm less than receptive to "demands" that I
answer this or help with that.
Please do your homework, RTFM, and respect the time and effort of others.
As Linux blossoms, there is bound to be a glut of newbie questions (mine
included!) on Usenet, and the gurus have finite resources.

Subject: Printer Accounting
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 15:34:56 +0800
Hi wizards!
In RedHat 5.1, I tried to setup a print queue with accounting
so that all users' printing will be logged with no. of pages
printed. However, the log file won't update itself!
I added the line
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
in /etc/printcap file;
then touch the file 'acct' in /var/spool/lpd/lp folder,
then set the file with lp.lp ownership while the
folder is in root.daemon ownership, with 755 mode for both
file and folder.
Then I restart lpd daemon (also lpc with stop and start
option). Root user can then type
# pac
and recognize the file /var/spool/lpd/lp/acct
as I tried to edit this file thru vi and 'pac'
does read this file which means lpd should have
chosen this file as the accounting log file.
However, when I issue 'lpr' command by normal users
or root, the printing is fine, but the 'acct' file
doesn't update at all!!!
I'd read the 4.3 BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual
but still can't see the problem. Any other accounting
binaries I need to run, like sa? Did I miss some other config
in some files, like syslogd.conf?
Wd anyone pls tell me what's wrong with
my printcap config? I used the HP4/5/6 Laserjet filter
as provided by RedHat 5.1, any conflicts with af: line?
Pls help! Thank you very much in advance
Leo.

I had the same problem. I put the soundcard in a different ISA slot. I also

Actually - the chip ID itself was never intended to enforce copyright and
licensing of software. It is, however, designed to facilitate the gap
between the user and the vendor. I.E. - your chip ID would automatically
associate you as _you_ instead of relying on software to tell the vendor
that you are you.
If software manufacturers were to start requiring the chip ID to be turned
on (or any vendor for that matter) it would assume a breach of the
anti-trust laws. The FTC would slap law-suits on Intel/vendors in a second.
Think of this chip ID as an "optional" feature - like 128-bit encryption in
your browser. You could settle for 40-bits, but 128-bit is much better.
And, you're not forced to use the 128-bit encryption feature.

Actually, the Pentium II 400MHz processor still pulls out a bit further than
you'd imagine. It even would be its PPC MHz-counterpart on integer
performance. However, the PPC itself has a superior floating point unit. I
would attribute the larger integer performance to the Pentium II's large
cache. We all know why the PPC has a faster floating point unit.
