Oh.. It's because you're not using the correct path.
(I just understood your question)
It doesn't matter if it's called XXX.o or XXX I don't think.
Linking only matters when there's more than one object file.
Try ./TMP.o

Do you have Printer/Filesharing enabled on the W98 box? Windows will send
out netbios requests every 15 minutes or so....causing diald to connect.
You'll either want to add a rule to your ipfwadm to deny all traffic on
ports 137-139 or you can add it to your diald config. rules.

Sounds like Red Hat's finally updated their Ghostscript and drivers, which
is good. Anyhow, to choose the printer's resolution at print time, you'll
need to create multiple queues. You can use the linuxconf utility or, if
it's still present in RH 6, printtool to do the job. Type "linuxconf" or
"printtool" at an xterm when you're logged in as root, and you should be
able to figure it out.

Hi all,
a couple of weeks late, but the matter nonetheless as pressing as
ever ;-), I have now made available the online form to allow you to
sign the GPL Linux petition. Take a look at the page, sign it if
you want to and please send comments or critique. Spread the word
in server chats and on VROC, and if enough people sign, we might get
something going.
For the uninitiated: Grand Prix Legends is a top-notch 60s era Formula
1 simulation with great online gaming capabilities that would make a
perfect showpiece for Linux stability and performance.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Uwe

I use the Olicom 3137 PCI Card with kernel 2.2.7 on Stampede Linux, and
it works very well. I belive IBM PCI cards are now supported, see
http://www.linuxtr.net/ for details.

Any CGI script requiring root access has some serious design problem... it
opens up too many security holes....
In any case, depending on what you want to do, you might want to look at
sudo and super..

The same could be accomplished with 'find / -iname netscape', and one less

Subject: scsi emulation problem
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 10:04:47 -0500
I'm trying to compile in the scsi emulation to get my ide CD-R drive working
I got everything re-built right but when I reboot with the new kernel the
system hangs right after the lilo prompt goes away like it's not seeing
the hard drive.
What options do I need to give lilo.conf so that the cd-r is used with
scsi emulation but my hard drvie isn't
my ide devices are:
hda = main hard drive
hdb = data drive
hdc = cd=r (the one I need the scsi emulation for)
hdd = cdrom (don'6 need scsi emulation here)
thanks,
Bill

I have the same card, and as far as I know it should be supported by the
IBM TokenRing driver. AsI recall, this card has several options (it can
emulate a IBM card or something). I do recall some
troubles to be expected with the TokenRing driver...
Good luck !!

You can't run the .o file. It's the object file. The executable file
is named "a.out" by default. That is the file that the system can
run. To change the name of the executable, use the -o flag:
gcc tmp.c -o myexe
This will produce two files, one object file named "tmp.o" and the
executable file "myexe". Run the myexe file:
./myexe
If your PATH env variable contains the "." (current directory) you can
omit the "./"

I suppose, that you have both disks installed as a primary master, in which I
suppose, you have
your Win98 Harddisk installed on the first IDE-Controller, (/dev/hda)
and your Linux on the second IDE-Controller (/dev/hdc).
If you don't know on which partition your root-filesystem is, check this out:
c:\loadlin c:\vmlinuz root = /dev/hdc2 ro (if it's the root)
^^^^^^^^^^ -> change this line in your
linux.bat - see below
else try /dev/hdc1. (with the edit.com etc...)

If you copy the kernel (vmlinuz) under DOS to different locations, you won't be
able to
get it started, because DOS inserts CR's at each end of line, so you destroy
your kernel.
Do it under linux with the cp command and NO CR's were inserted.

Be sure, if you want to boot Linux, that NO DOS programmes will be executed
before,
initrd might have problems.
I solved this problem with a boot menue:
Put this in your
CONFIG.SYS:
[menu]
menuitem A=MS-DOS V7.0 & Win'98
menuitem B=Linux V5.3
menudefault=A,5
rem means: for Standard boot item A (Win) in 5 secs. while no key pressed
rem otherwise select what you want to boot with your cursors - you got 5 sec.
[A]
DOS=HIGH,UMB
shell=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /e:4096 /p
FILES=60
BUFFERS=60,0
DEVICE=C:\WIN98\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WIN98\EMM386.EXE ON noems
devicehigh=C:\WIN98\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
[B]
rem ....really.... here's nothing.... ;-))
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
@ECHO OFF
PATH C:\WIN98;C:\WIN98\COMMAND
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\TEMP
goto %config%
:A
LH C:\WIN98\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CD0
lh C:\WIN98\COMMAND\DOSKEY.COM /INSERT
mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WIN98\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
goto end
:B
c:
cd\loadlin
linux hdx
rem (were x stands for your Linux-partition) i.e. hdc, hda, etc...
goto end
:end
If this will NOT operate on your system, please post me the details what Linux's
fdisk has found.
Cheers
Thomas

Consider splitting the linux section into partitions for each major
directory section, e.g.,
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1 99M 43M 51M 46% /
/dev/hdc2 99M 72M 22M 77% /home
/dev/hdc3 1017M 740M 224M 77% /usr
/dev/hdb3 484M 377M 82M 82% /usr/local
/dev/hdb6 196M 104M 82M 56% /usr/src
This will protect you from filesystem damage (if /usr/local gets
damaged due to, e.g., an unexpected reboot, your data on the other
partitions will be safe).
(Also, as of 5.1 RH <requires> a swap partition -- you can't choose a
swap file instead).

All that stuff can be done by lilo. You just need to read the
manpage. lilo.conf determines the load order and parameters for the
OS. When you first set up linux, you will run lilo in your "boot"
directory and that will set the parms on the MBR.
I believe it still is the case that kernel must be above the 1024th
cylinder, though. This is covered in the HOWTO, anyway.

Hello Everyone:
This is a message requesting help from everyone who would
like to be part of a new Linux site that I am working on.
My name is Marco and I am working on a site that will help all
Linux users. As we all know linux is a great operating system,
and much is said on the papers and news, but newbies like me sometimes
find it difficult to find good instructions on how to work with it.
I decided to create a site that will unite all Linux users who wish to
collaborate with instructions and articles on how Linux can be used both
at home and at work.
My site is small, but with your help I hope that one day will be a
good site that will help the Linux community. I need the help from all the
Linux users
you do not have to be experts because I think everyone has something
to share about their experience with their Linux systems.
If you would like to help please let me know and when you get a chance
visit my site.
Thanks to all.

Linux Newbies:
If you are looking for answers for Linux you are also invited to
come to my site maybe you will find the answer to your questions :). It is
small at the moment.
but it will grow in the future.

Personally, I recomend against over-clocking for serious work.
Pushing a 300a to 450 puts the chip *very* close to it's tolerances.
This may be fine for games where a slipped bit or a lockup doesn't
really hurt anything, but it is certainly *not* acceptable for
scientific numerical compulations.
