1. borrow an IDE drive from a friend
2. install RH 5.1 on it (w/o SCSI support)
3. download & install new kernel and other upgrades.
4. make sure you can access SCSI drives
5. move system over to SCSI (making necessary changes to reflect
new disk layout - read Slackware instructions for moving Zipslack to
ext2 partition).
6. make sure system boots from SCSI.
7. return IDE drive
Voila! Youv'e just (a) installed RH (b) learned some Linux admin tricks
and (c) helped your friend to try out Linux.

That would fall under acceptable use. Actually, I don't think those are
the words, but I am too tired to think them out of my head :P
It pretty much states that it is ok to quote a part of a copyrighted

Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 07:43:22 -0000
Hi,
I have had similar trouble when trying to copy a CD using windoz. The
software I used (adaptec I think) converted all the directory and filenames
to uppercase. This caused problems when the Linux install was looking for
particular files due to case sensitivity. If you have a bootable linux
system, and enough hard disk space, you can get round the problem by setting
up a UMS DOS directory on another partition, then mounting this under linux
when you login as root, but before doing the install. MUS DOS does not seem
to bother about case sensitivity. Worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Martin

Windows has always been (with the exception of NT) a seperate, replaceable
program, no matter what their advertisements or presentation of the OS may
have one think.
>I don't think your comparison is fair.
Well, tough. I'm comparing what each one _considers_ to be the operating
system. If I didn't compare the Windows GUI against Linux CLI, _THAT_
would be unfair. Why?
- Windows CLI doesn't have TCP/IP Networking
- Windows CLI doesn't have VTs (The GUI, in a sense, can simulate
this)
- Windows CLI is mostly USELESS. There are features that are in
the GUI that I'm comparing to the features in Linux.
Comparing XFree86 to Windows is completely unfair, because XFree86 is not
the Operating System, and doesn't provide those functions, Linux is.
And, Windows is technically an operating system but it isn't. This is because
Windows provides the services that are used in the operating system, DOS used
to, but really doesn't anymore, since Windows is 32-bit, and they claim that
that is supposed to make everything faster.

Bullshit. Run the program that comes with Windows which runs the very
first time you start Windows (C:\WINDOWS\WELCOME.EXE). This program
tells you the first time, "Need Help? Check out the Help option under

Well if you use ghostscript 5.50 you can just pass the option
-dQuality=-1 to gs and it will work in econofast. This will work with
cdj670 but, I think, not with cdj550.

Hi!
I have a similar setup (RH 5.2, 2.0.36) with a HP 6MP printer,
and have the same problem. I do remember this printer works
with an older kernel.
After the printer jobs failed, I checked "dmesg" again, and
it said:
lp: Driver configured but no interfaces found.
My printcap entry is as follows;
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet4 600x600 letter {} LaserJet4
Default {}
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
and "lpc status" shows;
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
Changing lp0 to lp1 or lp2 didn't help, either.
Does anyone have a solution for us??
Thanks in advance.

No need to be an ass about it, sonny.
I think that one should compare those elements that one would actually
use (that is, the Windows setup out of the box versus the Linux setup
out of the box, including both CLI and GUI elements).

Do you get "...doesn't contain any RPMs" messages? I've tried every
combination I can think of, like "ftp://domain/path-leading-to/RPMS", "ftp
domain/path-leading-to/RPMS", "/domain/path-leading-to/RPMS/", but am not

correctly. I just want to use glint to patch up a few rpms that got a
little bent out of shape on the way.
