Subject: Problem with my 486
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 23:45:44 GMT
Hi,
I would like to use my old 486 as firewall but have some problem with him.
I've installed two 3c509, add the driver in the kernel but Linux find only one
of them. The 3com Etherdisk find both of them and can adjust their setting.
If I remove the first card, Linux will find the second. Re-installing the first and
Linux will find and use just this first.
My firs card ( Mac address BlaBlaBla_81 ) is IRQ 10 and I/O 300.
The second ( Mac address BlaBlaBla_85 ) is IRQ 11 and I/O 280.
How can I help Linux to find both of my card ?
I use Slackware 3.9 with the kernel 2.0.37pre10.
I have a second computer, actually the gateway, and this one is OK. He found
both of my PCI NE2000 and use them without problem.
Another problem with my 486 : I can not compile the kernel. During each MAKE,
I receive an error message : Clock skew detected, your build may be incomplete
( or something like this ).
What this mean ? The build is effectively incomplete. Usually, the MAKE ZLILO
will just verify all makefile and don't compile anything. When I receive this message,
many pieces need to be compiled.
Thanks for your help

If the list is to be *inclusive* of the options listed above, then it
mandates the use of text, as that is the intersection of what those
tools are intended to recognize.

*Total* understanding may only be needed for design of a complete
system, but one needs fairly encyclopaedic understanding in order to
customize things or to fix problems that come up.
Based on the history of computer software thus far, I refuse to assume
that software will be bug-free, and, with the many levels of software
involved with SGML "tool stacks," that provides many places for bugs to
crop up.

It has implications at each level, which is the point. Those
implications may be relatively small at any given level, but nonetheless
require understanding the components in the "tool stack."

The standard on UNIX is to Not Need To Defragment, because the
filesystem was competently written so that fragmentation doesn't have a
significant effect on the FS.
UNIX filesystems only tend to encounter fragmentation when they get
really, really full.
And the Real Man's way of resolving any problems that come from that is:
# tar cfv /this/fs > /tmp/keeptmp.tar
# rm -raf /this/fs/*
# cd /this/fs
# tar xfv /tmp/keeptmp.tar
This of course assumes that /tmp has enough space for the purpose;
change "cfv" to "cfvz", and "xfv" to "xfvz," as needed...

ext2 is quite capable of handling *filesystem* sizes considerably larger
than 2GB. (2TB rings a bell.)
But mounting across a loopback device does not change the file
descriptor in LIBC. Growing to sizes > 2^31-1 requires an API change.

I rather doubt it.
There are few systems available yet, so there clearly has not been
opportunity for K7 chips to start falling in price.
... Furthermore, the competition is not between K7's and Celerons; K7's
appear more comparable to Xeons, which means that K7's can sell for
somewhat more than $200.
... Furthermore, there haven't even been announcements of upcoming
availability of SMP motherboards for K7. You can't have systems before
you have motherboards.
I would be entirely unsurprised to see K7 systems *start* to hit store
shelves in September, thereby coinciding with school years (possibly of
most significance for university budgets :-)). And for SMP to not be
visible until end of year. I could be wrong; SMP could take longer...

Yes, you are right!
I have RedHat 6.0, so I used printtool to select my Epson Stylus
Color 600 as my lp printer. The printtool tests worked, i.e.
the Epson worked both as a generic printer and a postscript
one with ghostscript used as the interpreter. Okay, so good,
but...
I have Wordperfect configured to use Passthru Postscript as the
printer driver lp. It prints in monochrome. I switched the lp
to Disk, and the postscript file it generated was indeed monochrome.
( I used gv to check this. )
I added another printer driver, HP Color LaserJet 5 Postscript,
and set it to write to Disk. The postscript file it generated
did indeed have color ( used gv again ). The color selection in
Wordperfect was also present. When I changed Disk to lp, my Epson
would start dumping out uninterpreted postscript.
I guess my general question is: How do I configure Wordperfect
to print documents in color with my Epson Stylus 600 at
1440x720 or 720x720?
Thanks!

The issue isn't so much the CPU; it's the motherboard.
- There are few StrongARM systems for Linux... because despite cheap
CPUs, there are no cheap motherboards.

there are no cheap motherboards.
And there are *NO* AMD SMP systems available because there are no cheap

The du command does this:

OR

The first form does every directory and the second form just does the

Oh, the 'sort -nr' sorts the results in reverse numerical order -- the

This depends on your hardware. Lots of manufacturers don't open their
specifications so Linux drivers can be written, proprietary binary modules
are not yet an option (they will be with XFree 4.0 AFAIK), and Linux
Glide, for example, does not support all of the Voodoo features that
Windows Glide supports.
It's mostly a problem with hardware manufacturers. Anyway, you can get
pretty good hardware support -- e.g. Mesa supports MMX, 3DNow! and a
dirty hack to do direct 3dfx acceleration. The problem is you need to
choose your hardware based on what is or what you think will soon be
supported.
Essentially the same as on other platforms, but they usually support a
wider range of hardware.

This is a correct statement.
Linux is making optimal use of the memory resources, by having about
25MB of data cached, and by pushing 16MB of memory space that it
hasn't touched lately out to swap, which leaves even more space free
for cacheing.
Nothing's wrong; there's nothing to be fixed.
Don't worry, be happy.

Hi Sergio,
Does your system startup with initlevel=5 (XDM) x-interface on startup ? If
yes, try to change the runlevel to 3 in the /etc/inittab.
I am guessing, it may be a problem with the x-startup. If no, I don't think
I can think about anything else.
good luck

What you're describing does not make sense. If the host has an IP
address on 10.201.30.0/24, the only way it can reach 192.168.1.1 is via
a router on subnet 10.201.30.0, which would have to be 10.201.30.1.
Ditto for a host with an IP address on 192.168.1.0/25. Its can only
reach systems on the 192.168.1.0 network without going to a router on
the 192.168.1.0/25 subnetwork.
By definition, what you want must be happening as IP doesn't know any
other way to do it. To get the behavior you describe would require the
192 router to have a secondary address on 10... defined and configured.
Are you sure that you have set up the host addresses correctly or are
the hosts configured with both addresses on the same interface?
By the way, if what you are trying to provide is high reliability service
offerings accessed from the Internet, there are better ways to achieve
the goal. However, if all you want is better access out to the internet,
this is the easiest way to get it.

Install Netscape 4.5 US version glibc2
Versions 4.51 up either flush or crash netscape on certain sites.
The behavior is a crash on SuSE 6.1 while it flushes Netscape
on RedHat 6.0
Netscape 4.5 US version works great.
