Does anyone have linux up and running on a Dell Latitude 366 laptop?
Dell is using a new neomagic chip and XFree does not go to 1024x768
with this latest chip.
Has anyone been able to get this latest chip to work with XFree 3.3.1
The chip is neomagic magicmedia 256AV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What about the government that sold Saddam Hussein all his weapons,
invaded a small country nearby in the '80s just for tha sake of it,
has been supporting terrorism in Latin America and elsewhere for good
part of the century, is making a huge mess in the Balkans (and losing
at it, btw) because of the stupidest foreign minister of the whole
world? I doubt they would call themselves communist. (Actually that
particular foreign minister wouldn't call herself stupid, but yet...)

I dunno: I don't see how Linux has anything to do with communism, but

I have in my .bashrc:
alias btar='tar --use-compress-program bzip2'
so I use btar -xvf to extract a tar.bz2 file, and btar -cvf to create one.

I'll second the celeron idea.
if you can get celeron 300a and the right slotket adapters, you can push them to 450
ea.
a 900mhz system is the result (sort of) ;-)
you most likely need to enable the SMP jumper on the slotket and raise
the voltage to 2.2. finally, b21 might need cutting or lifting. some
mobos (like the asus p2bd) don't need to worry about pin b21.
all this gets you the best price/performance system out there!

This used to be an NT box, and I formatted the drive to put on RedHat.
Soooo... I know the CD is working. The command was "mount /dev/cdrom/"
and then I go to /cdrom. Or, I'll be in the /dev dir, and just "mount
/cdrom" I think, maybe it was just cdrom. I have the 3rd disk from RH in
there (with the sampler versions of apps?) so I know there was something
in there, but no luck seeing it.
Hold on... I just went to verify what I just said, and this time it
didn't work. Now I'm getting a "kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as
a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?)" message. I did not get this
last night.... And when I go to the /cdrom dir, all I see is the . and
.., just like last night. So obviously, I *am* doing something wrong.
I tried the "mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /cdrom" and the other, and the
error message I got was "the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a
block device (maybe insmod driver?)."
I was under the impression it was supposed to be an "hd(?), but in fstab
it's listed as "/dev/cdrom." By the way, I set it so anyone could mount
it, not just root by changing the 3 to a 5 in the /etc/inittab
directory. Any ideas?
Best regards, and thx all for helping.

SCO does not write to the mbr. Solaris does, it writes a boot loader similar to Lilo.
So
it is not a clear cut as you think.
And no MS OS writes to the mbr. They just set the active partition, which is
legitimate.
An OS has no business whatsoever to do stuff outside of its own partitions.

It would help if you wouldn't insult people, since in this case you are the one who are
mistaken.
I've written a tool similar to System Commander ten years back, and I have analyzed the
boot sequences of quite a lot of OSes over the years. Lilo (and Solaris) are the only
systems that I know of that actually write its own code to the mbr.

If you mean that you compile the program with gcc TMP.C then the fault is
that the .C extension is for C++ files, not C.
Lower case 'c' is used for C programs.
Also, if you want the output to be called TMP.o, then you should add the -o
tag...
For example.
gcc TMP.c -o TMP.o
Otherwise, the default is to produce a file called a.out.

I am having the same type of problem modules not loading in new kernel.
There was no modules-info file created. Do you know how this file is
created? I compiled the kernel the same as your intsrutions. There is an
old modules-info for 2.0.35. Can I use the same file but just link it to
modules-info-2.2.7? Thanks for any help

Subject: dhcp on Solaris
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 13:26:01 GMT
I'm in the process of geting cable modem in my house and wanted to
continue using my Sparc 20 with it. There is only one small problem:
the current setup in my neighborhood does not allow me to have a
static IP address; instead, dhcp will be use for nodes (like myself)
connecting to their network.
I am currently running Solaris 2.6 on a sparc20 with a full install. I
need to know from you how do I configure my sparc to obtain addresses
from their (my cable company) dhcp server.
I do know that dhcp is a superset of bootp, with a small difference: IP
addresses (and other parameters) are obtained dynamically instead of
coding them in configuration files. Having said that, should I just
setup
my machine as if it was attempting to talk to a bootp server?
Thanks.

Something like 'dd if=...', I presume. It's a backup system - I need to
get back to the data in emergency cases, but I don't necessarily need to
do so with a point'n'drool interface ;-). I've done some reading up, and
it seems to me - but I'm a clueless newbie in the area of CD burning -
that there are two solutions:
- Write multiple tracks, don't "fix" the CD. Only usable in a CD-R(W)
- Write variable length packets with the length at each packet.
I'll shove a CD-RW in the drive tonight and start experimenting...

So you are suggesting that Perry's be split up into Perry's Chemical
Engineer's Techincal Manual and Perry's Chemical Engineer's User
Guide? ;)
