Nope... a floppy port connection is faster than a parallel port. Trust

1 MB of RAM is very tight. Can yo manage to have 2 MB? I have never
tried to run in 1 MB, but I think it might be just a bit too little.
Are you sure the 104 architecture is a good choice for such a system?
Maybe a PowerQUICC (Motorola MPC8xx) based solution would be smaller
(half the size of a credit card!), cheaper and less energy consuming.
See www.denx.de for examples of what I've done.

If you don't need X11, then 4 MB of RAM is ok, 2 MB can be done, for
1 MB I would have to look a bit closer into this.
Hope this helps,

AFAIK, the K5 was SMP-capable, but noone ever produced a chipset to
support it. With the K6 they didn't bother. The K7 is supposed to be
SMP-capable, but we'll have to wait and see if anyone produces a
shipset and mb to support it.
If the K7 lives up to it's billing, performance-wise, this would seem
to be *the* ideal time for AMD to attack the high end, and that means
offering multi-processor systems.

I've read that "Hacker" was first applied to talented (but unpolished)
programmers, in the fashion of "He could build furniture by hacking it out of a log".
In my experience, the (negative) 'cracker' definition of "Hacker" has almost completely
supplanted the (positive) 'talented but unpolished programmer' definition.
Unfortunately,
there seems not to be a new word for the 'talented but unpolished programmer', so I've
continued to apply the "Hacker" label to such people (with the appropriate explanations
where necessary).

If you typo an attribute and the parser doesn't catch it, then it's broken.
If the parser / generator exposes any TeX or *roff or Postscript semantics
to the writer, then it's not doing its job.
>Supposing I want to change the document to have a "two column" form,
Well, if the document is semantically marked up this is a style sheet issue,
to be expressed on the command line or in some other out-of-band mechanism,
and shouldn't require any changes in the document. If it does, then you're
using a DTD that's confusing two semantic levels (content and layout). I
agree that if you're using a broken DTD then you're screwed.

If changing the page size has any implications at the document level, for
a semantically marked up document, then what's going to happen when you
generate HTML or man pages from it, or want to insert it in a technical
journal that uses a different style sheet?
You seem to be assuming a fundamentally different type of DTD than we're

The problem with "mainstream" users is that they use words like "mainstream"
as a fallback; a crutch. What "mainstream" means is "too lazy to read. Want
to point, click, and grunt instead".
If you want a toy, buy a Gameboy. If you want a computer - learn how to read.
How many times have I heard complaints of programs not working. When asked if
they read the documentation/manual/etc.. they said "No, why?"
People who cater to these idiots are only making the problem worse. Microsoft
would be at the very top of my list, BTW.
There was a time when computers were used by people who could (WOULD) read.
People who knew what they were doing - and if they didn't - they LEARNED how
to do it. Then programmers decided to make "user friendly" interfaces. Remove
installation options so as not to confuse people. Remove functionality in
favour of ease-of-use.
This caused people to become lazy - and all of a sudden these interfaces
aren't easy enough. Now programmers make interfaces even MORE simplistic.
Viscious cycle - and I wish it would stop.
Have you ever installed Win'98? I guess I don't know what I want, so it
(being all-knowing what's best for me) immediately began to format my C:
partition (Good god-damned thing it was a blank HDD! Which brings up
another point - I prefer to have my OS on one partition, and apps on
another. I guess I don't know any better, so Microsoft decided to put it
all on one 4 gig FAT16 C: partition. Man, am I ever glad they saved me from
making THAT mistake! {sigh} ).
This is why OS/2, Linux, UNIX, Be, etc.. are a breath of fresh air. When I
begin the OS/2 install, it first asks me for "Easy" or "Advanced". When I
select "Advanced" - I'm brought to FDisk. Well! Now I *CAN* select my
partition sizes! Well blow me down!
As for Linux - the SuSE 6.0 CD gives me LOTS of options! "Boot installed
system", "Boot rescue system", or "Begin installation process". (I beleive
there's also an option to create rescue disks).

Subject: LILO question, WIN98 dual boot.
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 11:37:18 -0500
I tried installing Linux and when I came to the
LILO part, it didn't allow me to install it and I
had to finally sjip it and move further.
I have one drive and it is partitioned into 3
parts. The first partition has Win98 and one has
Linux. the third is for future use.
So basically I installed Win98 first and then
Linux.
My /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.2-15
label=linux
root=/dev/hda6
read-ony
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
when I gave a 'lilo -q' command it said:
/boot/map: no such file or directory.
when I gave a 'lilo' command it gave me a warning:
Warning: device 0x0306 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit
geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big(1293 >
1023)
Any help is appreciated. Also, please post the
reply to my personal email too.
Thanks.

Hi
I'm planning to build a system architecture which uses Oracle 8i running on
Sparc Solaris for the database servers, and Linux on Intel hardware for the
development workstations.
This means I'll be networking Linux workstations to the Solaris Server. As
anyone had any experience of this? Is the cost saving of using Linux worth
the extra hassle or should I just go with Solaris on the workstations?
Any help and advice appreciated

Subject: iBCS in Kernel 2.2.10
Reply-To: tvancura at solid.phys.ethz.ch

Hello,
I am using RH 6.0 and I wanted to install the new 2.2.10
kernel (which worked fine, it"s up and running). Though I
need the iBCS module, and I don"t know how to include it.
There was an iBCS rpm in the RH distribution, and I could
load the kernel module (modprobe iBCS) with the kernel that
was shipped with the distribution.
Is there an iBCS option in the .config file that is
generated by "make menuconfig" or "make config", do I have
to install some additional package?
Thank you very much for the help,
yours, Tobias
