Excuse me for saying this: It is your money, if they dont have what you
want to buy - just turn around and close the door quietly.
On more practical level insist on external modem the price difference
is negligible and those have the hardware for working independently
of the OS.
If they can intimidate you they will sell you the Brooklin Bridge;-))

When I recently upgraded to KDE 1.1 I found that performance was crippled
until I removed the font server port from my fonts path in XF86Config then
it flew along quite nicely. I have since found that I didn't really need TT
fonts by moving the 100dpi font before the 75 dpi in the fonts path, this
has given me a totally acceptable character image quality.

You can do this very easily from fvmw2 :) Right click on the destop and
you will get a drop-down menu. Toward the bottom of the menu is the
option _Compile Kernel_. This will lead you through the menu for
compiling your kernel. When you are done, a GUI pops up that helps you
finish the rest of the compilation and automates everything for you :)

On the same theme, does anyone in the UK know of any ISPs that will accept

Hi,
I have set up kppp and pppd as required, ie I have got my phone number,
DNS server IP addresses etc.
My ISP requires that I log in as guest with no password and then use
telnet to log into a firewall. However, when I run the PPP connection
script, the modem hangs up. I ran ifconfig, and all I get is the loopback,
not an PPP connection.
What am I doing wrong? The modem is setup correctly as far as I can see.
Any help?

Actually, what I found wrt the SHA test failing was a namespace
conflict. Sha.c has a #define named LITTLE_ENDIAN. LITTLE_ENDIAN
is also in some of the new(er) /usr/include/*.h files. This
resulted in LITTLE-ENDIAN being defined to sha.c when it shouldn't
have been. I solved the problem by re-naming LITTLE-ENDIAN in
sha.c to SHA_LITTLE_ENDIAN.
The segfault issues, so far as *I* know, are usually caused by
lack of the 8-bit char fix.
I have a version of tripwire-1.2 that I've been patching all along
(and updating/correcting the manual pages for), that compiles and
runs fine on the following systems:
Sun Sparc Solaris 2.5.1
Sun x86 Solaris 2.6
Red Hat 5.1 Linux, x86
Red Hat 6.0 Linux, Sparc
SCO Unix (don't remember the version, off-hand)
Which are the systems I have available to me.
Of course, YMMV.
Btw: tripwire should be statically linked for best security,
not dynamically.

Jim

Thinking about buying a HP8100i CD-writer since it has got very good
reviews
in press. However, I�m wondering how it works under Linux? Anyone who
has tested? Does the HP disaster recovery work under Linux as well? Is
there anyone with another HP CD-writer model who has any experiences of

The last time I looked, xcdroast didn't really work well with CD-RWs -
in particular, it doesn't provide any way to blank them (that's how
you erase one). cdrecord, however, does support blanking rewritable
CDs - try 'cdrecord --help'. You can specify different degrees
of 'blankness', but I've found blank=all to be the most reliable.
(cdrecord is the program that xcdroast calls to do most of the
real work, so you must have it somewhere...)
Some of the other GUIs that sit on top of cdroast seem to support
blanking, but not all of them work very well.
Here's a script I use to do the work, so I don't have to remember
the arguments to cdrecord. You'll *have* to modify *at least*
the dev= argument for your system...
=====
#!/bin/zsh
# Blank a CD...
echo "Blanking a CD-RW - please wait!"
exec cdrecord -v -speed=4 dev=1,5,0 blank=all

Hey guys.
I'm running DOSEMU within RH 5.1 xwindows. I'm trying to use the
dos-based setup software for my 3Com 3c509b NIC in order to disable plug
and play.
When I try to run the 3c5x9cfg.exe program, however, I get the error:
run-time error R6003

Now, this ain't good. As a amateurish programmer I figure this is a low
level problem(?)
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks.

Stick with the simpler ones like fvwm if you want X to be usable.

Hi,
does anybody know which new key features the new development
kernel will contain in the future? 2.2 brought a lot of new
architectural
changes? Will there be any new architectural features in 2.3.x?
(I'm asking this with the idea in mind that in the future linux will
have to
compete with other os like NT)

Subject: SuSE6.1 Kernel 2.2.5->2.2.9
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 17:04:12 +0200
Hi,
I have tried to update my SuSE6.1 installation from Kernel 2.2.5
to Kernel 2.2.9 and everything vent real smooth except for the
network which doesn't work with the new kernel (as soon as I go
back to my old kernel I am fine again).
The only error messages displayed at boot is
something like 'modprobe char-major-4...' which I don't
think is related to the network (at least not to a fixed
network like mine).
The networking device is found (loaded as a module)
and the DHCP client is started but'ifconfig' only gives
some dummy IP address.
Anyone aware of some special tricks for updating kernels on SuSE
distributions? I am really stuck here. I have tried to compile
things into the kernel and have them as moduels but nothing
seems to work.
I did compile the kernel with:
make mrproper
make config
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/.
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/.
'vi /etc/lilo.config'

I've got an ancient Slackware 2.3 (kernel 1.2.13) on my old 386sx25 laptop
w/ 120MB drive & 6 MB RAM. Works fine. Of the modern well-known distro's
I doubt that any except Slackware will get a reasonable system within 120mb.

Hmm, here your bigger concerns are (a) lack of math coproc and (b) RAM.
I've got X11 on the laptop but it's the "tinyX" version based on X11R3,
and the machine has an fpu (makes a big difference with X). I'd say in
any case you'd want to check classifieds2000.com or similar and try to
pick up a 486 (or 5x86) Overdrive upgrade cpu (say for $15-30 dep'g on MHz).
If you're happy with the old X11R3 then just go for tinyX; otherwise get
a bigger (or a second, for an absolute minimun total of ~200MB) harddrive, at
least 8MB RAM (12 or 16'd be better), install X11R6.3/Gnome and have a blast.

Suffixes: .ra,.rm,.ram

Getting a Winmodem with a new computer is like getting a stick of
stale, tasteless chewing gum in a pack of baseball cards. The only
reasonable course of action is to throw it away, sell it to a gullible
"friend", or get a band saw and turn it into trendy PC board jewelry.
Buy yourself a real modem at the same time you buy your new computer.
Of course, if you insist, there's some useful information on Winmodems
and Linux here:
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
The author makes a not unreasonable argument that a Winmodem might
actually be useful if used as a telephone control interface (a smart
dialer or answering machine) instead of a modem.
