Hello all,
Currently I'm running RHL 6.0. I have a PPP connection setup and use
UserNet to initiate the connection. However, I'm finding that UserNet is
unreliable once connected. Often times I have a hard time
disconnecting/reconnecting as well as modem hanging. Is there an
alternative to UserNet that provides me with easier use and connection
status information?

Glich, Red Hat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5 and greater I suppose) can share the parallel
port and the between printer and Zip ... I think it's strange that can't share two

I take along .config, .version, and Makefile, just as a lazy form of
documentation.
I also take large hunks of the include/ directory, but that's for
development purposes, which you are spurning.

It provides a sort of table of contents of the kernel executable,
allowing tools like klogd(8) and ps(1) to translate kernel addresses
into (human-readable) function names. See the man pages to see where
those programs look for it.

Well, saying it's "UNIX" says *nothing*. But what kind of UNIX is it?
There are many different types of UNIX. If someone just describes a
machine as "running UNIX", it could be running Linux, Solaris, HPUX,
BSD, AIX, SCO, etc. It might even be a Cray supercomputer (well,
maybe not at a web site :-)

Is the cp process still running? If so, kill it. Kill anything
related to that process. Kill. Kill! KILL! Also, presumably
you're not trying to umount while the $PWD is in a mounted
subdirectory. If necessary, go to another virtual console (ALT-F2),
login and kill the other shell. If necessary, 'shutdown -r now' or
three-finger salute. Sometimes yelling helps, too.

I learned many years ago to respect some conventions and this is one of
them.
I believe, in essence, va_list and va_start are dependent on CPU and compiler
issues. In the end, I think the address of ap is being used in va_start
to find the end of stack.
foo(char *fmt, ...)
{
int i
va_list ap;
}
By placing local variables before the va_list, you "make" the argument list
longer. In the above, you'd get a rough value of 0x00 (Intel/GCC/Linux setup)
for the first or last variable argument since it is automagically set to 0.
To be "portable", you must really define the memory range of arguments by
ysing both the last fixed and first local variables. Even this is truly
only a "rule of thumb" since I know ways a compiler can break it. :)

Dan

This is SVGA Koules, right? svgalib applications need to be suid to

That should do it.

Yes. There are instructions on using "raw devices" on the vmware web
site.
1. Make SURE you have backups. And current recovery disks.
2. If you have questions, email me at home
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I am doing this also with an existing NT
install. I don't have the video working correctly yet -- only get
640x480x4bit color in the VM windowed or full screen -- but it does
work.
3. You will need to set all the windows partitions as read-write (I
think) in order for them to be accessed correctly. See #1.
Good luck,

I'd recommend getting a newer DOSEMU. The newer ones have a much
nicer configuration system. Available at the usual low,low price
from:
http://www.dosemu.org.
Alternatively you should be able to download a newer *deb or *rpm
or whatever from your distribution's web site. This is all the more
important since (I'm guessing here) your Win98 partition may not be
recognized properly by the older DOSEMU. I actually have my DOS
stuff split into two partitions: a C: partition in case I am forced
to use some Win98 stuff (esp. my kid playing some game), and a D:
'real DOS' partition for some legacy DOS programs.
This has the side benefit that I don't have to hide the DOSEMU-C: drive,
just tack on the D: drive as a D: drive.
You may have problems running a DOS game in an xterm, once you get
partitions sorted out. Try running a plain terminal session (i.e.
not in X).
HTH!

I need to replace my video board as it does not support X86. It is a STB 4mb
AGP board with the 2D 3D chip. As far as I can tell there are no drivers for
it in LINUX, so I am looking for a board which can be used with both win98
and LINUX in a dual boot machine. Will a AGP board work properly in Linux or
should I get a PCI board, and will a PCI board work with win98?
Ignorant, am I not?
