I see, this information is not very detailed, so look at this too:
I have a SOYO 5VA2 82430VX/P54C Motherboard with an onboard NCR306 SCSI Card
BIOS.
The only device that is attached to the host-adapter is the zip drive.
I have 3 EIDE harddiscdrives and an ATAPI CDROM drive on second ide.
There is an ext2 on the hard disc and a fat partition on the zip disk,
mounted vfat.

Hi,
I have a few Linux boxes networked together.. (running RH 6.0) I'm
trying to setup a network printer, its an HP 1100 LaserJet.. It prints
just fine to the local machine its plugged into, but the other boxes on
my network can't print to it... I'm not sure if you have to
specifically set the machine up as a "print server" or not..
when I do an "lpc status lp" I get the following
on the remote:
waiting for queue to be enabled on 10.10.0.29
on the other machine (with the printer)
printing enabled
queueing enabled
daemon not started
please help--- :-)
Thank You in advance for any help...

I tried that. After having it up for a couple of weeks, I wasn't convinced
I was getting everything I was expecting. I was going to look into it, but
I came to realize that it's probably not the best method of getting
newsgroups for only 1-2 people. I figure it like this. I probably
actually read 5% of the messages in maybe 20 newsgroups. So, for every
message I actually read, I'm downloading 20 messages.
Not too efficient.
And I never quite understood that "try reading a newsgroup today, and in a
week you'll start seeing messages there" bit. But again, I haven't realy
looked into it. I was more expecting that if I put a list of newsgroups in
somewhere (or attempt read through newsreader), then I'd start seeing
messages the next day (after fetchnews runs).
Cheers,

I have tried thes with a mixture of large and small files (a directory tree
with 78mb). The strange thing is that if I use it under Win95/98 there is
nearly no difference between reading and writing to the zip drive (about
30mb/sec).

Why what's the difference? I've been using Slack for about 3 years and am

The main reason people have failed dependency problems is that they don't
have the path to the libraries set in ld.so.conf. So even though the Libs
are on the machine, the compiler doesn't know where to find them.
Goto /etc and edit ld.so.conf then run ldconfig as root.
Also, I put these paths in my $HOME/.profile in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH just for
grins, and have never had a Library failure since.

A whole bunch of Linux users started out with Slackware. In fact, before
there was a redhat, there was Slackware. If he really wants to know the
guts of the operating system and wants real stability there is no better
place to start.
Once you have your Slackware system up and running to your satisfaction,
you are no longer a newbie. (:

You could put a FAT16 partition on the disk, then tar the important
parts (e.g. everything but /usr/bin and such) of the SCO partition up
onto that FAT partition. That will preserve long filenames, attributes,
ownership and links. Then go into Linux and untar the SCO stuff.
Alternately, if the machine has a tape drive, send the tar to it
instead. Linux should be able to read any tape that SCO can write,
especially if you're using SCSI tape drives.
Good luck,

But you are saved from having to explicitly select which groups and which
threads within those groups that you wish to read. Simply read your newsgroups
and let leafnode cope with the messy bits.

As I see it, it works like this.
1. Install leafnode.
2. Run fetch. Only the list of newsgroups is downloaded.
3. Subscribe to alt.newsgroup and read leafnode's dummy article.
Leafnode is now aware that you are interested in alt.newsgroup.
4. Run fetch. The initial download of articles from alt.newsgroup (could
number less than your default maximum if so configured) takes place.
5. Read alt.newsgroup.
6. Run fetch. Leafnode will download threads (up to a set maximum number of
articles if so configured) from alt.newsgroup that it has seen you are
interested in. Threads you don't read will be eventually dropped.
Steps 5 & 6 continue forever unless you stop reading all threads in
alt.newsgroup which will result in that group being dropped completely at
some point.
All you have to do is run fetch and expire at regular intervals and read
your newsgroups.

Subject: Remote login problems in custom RedHat env...
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:55:25 -0400
Hello all,
I have an unusual problem with telnet, rlogin, ftp and any other
program which requires logging in remotely. The system specs are: 400Mhz
Pentium Pro, 256MB RAM, onboard Intel etherexpress pro 10/100Mbs network
card, 2 serial ports, running a custom Red Hat 5.2 kernel. Four kernel
header files were modified to allow for a 3072 process limit ( fs.h,
limits.h, posix_types.h, /usr/include/gnu/types.h ). The machine will
boot and run fine for about 10 minutes then any form of remote log in
(even rcp and rsh) will hang after it successfully connects to the
system just before it gives you the opportunity to provide your login
name and/or password. On telnet you can even see the "Connected to
<host>" message. Any connection made before this problem occurs is fine
and has full capabilities. I can get out of the box using any method I
choose (telnet, ftp, etc). The oddest thing about this problem is that
all other inetd services are unaffected. They continue to respond to
request on their respective ports without fail. A tcpdump on the machine
will show telnet, rlogin, etc ... activity. They send their initial acks
and replies but don't complete their initialization procedures. For
example. telnet will never send it's usual 'I AM CAPABLE OF' information
(i.e. "DO AUTHENTICATION" "WILL ENCRYPT"). Luckily, we have a console
routed through the serial port which is uneffected by this situation. At
present, rebooting the machine is the only way clear up the situation.
Bringing the ethernet card down and up, sending HUP signals to inetd,
and logging out established remote connections don't have any effect.
Has any run across anthing like this ? Is there a fix (please no upgrade
to 6.0 responses. This is not an option.) ? Thanks.

Personally, I think it is lame that people worry over how something is

What is important is that people know what is being talked about. But If it
really matters.....Redhats distro has the pronunciation with it when you use
sndconfig to set up your soundcard.

NEEDHELP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> did eloquently scribble:

Perhaps if you told us what happens rather than "Did not load LILO... Do Not
Like", you might get a helpfull response...
And what the hell is boot magic?
LILO is the Linux Loader. It's LILO that should be setting up the master
boot record so that you can choose between Linux and whatever else you have.

Their chips could do multiprocessor, ever since the k6 was released
(IIRC), they just never made a motherboard with the necessary chipset to
do it. AMD was supposed to release a chipset spec to support that, but
noone ever used it.

For non-postscript printers the Linux "driver" is ghostscript. It would
appear that "Canon BubbleJet BJC-4300" is supported from version 5.10
onwards. See:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html
What version do you have? Run:
gs -v
