We use Linux and Solaris_x86 and I'm lucky with both of them.
I tried the 'free SCO' but compiling qt gave me errors of 'not implemented,
sorry' in deeply nested C++ structures... I used the compiler that came
with the free CD. Now I'm playing at home with but not using it for
developing apps.
Solaris's doin' nice on a 486-DX2 66 when booted, but sometimes it's a
little bit too tenacious, but it works fine.
We also have HP-UX currently upgrading to 10.20. I don't have much
experience with but our CAD admin is lucky.
So there's something for everyone :-)

Turned out to be a kernel problem. Even the install kernel had the
problem. Recompiling and remaking modules solved the problem.

Greetings,
Does anyone know of a Linux program that is similar to the windows program
Motherboard Monitor 4 which can display the temperature of my CPUs on an
Abit BP6 motherboard?
I'm running kernel 2.2.5 on a dual overclocked Celery 450A and really am
curious what the temps are compared to running NT.
Thanks,

No, I'm running SuSE in two boxes, an AMD K-6 2 3Dnow with EIDE, and a
dual P-II SMP, full U2WSCSI/3 boxes. Both are as stable as a rock.

I guess I should remember to post my remarks in code next time. Johan

of clearcutting forests to print all of their meaningless reports.

First off. If you're at the X signon screen, use a <Ctrl><Alt><F1> to
go to a character mode console. Login as root.
enter "ls -l /dev/mouse". Assuming the system was previously using
a PS/2 mouse, you should get a indicator that this is symlink'ed to
"psaux". If it is symlink'ed to a ttyS?, then the system is expecting
a serial mouse.
Now check to see if PS/2 support is in the kernel. On my RH 6.0 system,
running kernel 2.2.5-15, I can "cat /proc/misc" and I see "psaux" in
the response. If you don't see this, you'll need to modify the kernel
to have PS/2 support in it. If you don't do this, X will not work and
Xconfigurator will report an error installing X. It did this to me and
it took me about 2 hours to realize that the problem was NOT my video
board or monitor. If Xconfigurator seems to fail for no reason that
you can fathom, look in "/var/log/messages" and look for the message
"modprobe: can't locate module char-major-10-1" on my system, this is
the psaux device. You can verify the same in your system by doing a
"ls -l /dev/psaux" The two numbers just before the date are the
major and minor device numbers (in my case 10, 1).
I hope this is of some help. I hope you don't get the impression that I'm
"talking down". I just don't know your level of experience. Mine is not
that great, and I like getting as much info as possible, even if I happen
to know the most of it. Repeation enhances learning (at least for me).

Question. What you posted implied, to me, that the GAMES are running under
MS-DOS 6.2 (not Windows in DOS mode). If that is so, are you aware that
DOS 6.2 does not support FAT32? If you change your Windows95 drive to
FAT32, then DOS 6.2 won't understand what it is and will ignore it.
It's easy to convert. Windows comes with a utility to convert a drive
from FAT16 to FAT32. You get to it by bringing up Windows Explorer,
right click on the HD icon you want to convert. Click on Properties.
One of the TABs has the properly labelled icon. Click on it.
DO NOT CONVERT YOUR DOS 6.2 DISK!! So far as Windows is concerned, once
you've converted to FAT32, there's no going back! Actually, I did this
with Partition Magic. It's much easier (to me).
Hope this helps even if this isn't directly a Linux question.
Have you tried running the games under DOSEmu? I don't run it, but some
things should work. Just a thought.

Hello all,
I have actually run into a problem with the 2GB filesize limitation
under Linux (ext2 filesystem). I was using kernel version 2.0.36, but I
have upgraded to 2.2.10 as of today. Unfortunately, the results are the
same and I am now wondering if there is patch or another way around this
filesize limit? I have a legitimate need for a larger-than-2GB file.
Any information concerning this issue is greatly appreciated.

I am running Linux-Mandrake 6.0 on a Pentium II. I have two different user
accounts - one under my name and one under my wife's name. Everything is set
up according to the book, as far as I know. I run kde on my account and my
wife's account has a gnome default. Everytime my wife runs the cdplayer or
the
mp3 player like xmms, it changes the rights to several dev files (as
follows):
/dev/cdrom
/dev/mixer
/dev/sequencer
/dev/fd*
As a result when I log into my account, I cannot listen to my cds or mp3s
(the programs give me error messages). When I check on the files, i see
their rights something like this:
crw------- *wife's account name* root blah blah blah
What I am usually doing, is I become root and do 'chmod a+rw' and 'chown
root.root' on all the above files, and everything is back to normal. But the
problem repeats if the cdplayer or the mp3 player is fired up from my wife's
account.
What is going on? What can I do to stop this problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: Ftape and Red Hat 6.0 Info
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 19:02:08 -0400
This is another of a series of informal walk-throughs on using ftape
and some of it's support programs to access and use a floppy tape
drive. In this post I'll go over formatting a tape, using mt to put
more than one tar archive on a tape and using some of the included
scripts to help manage the tar archives. I'm using RH6.0 and a
internal TR3 tape drive hooked to the floppy port. Most of the
information presented is rather general and should work with other
distributions, but YMMV.
Does your tape drive "shoe shine" on one spot when you are trying to
write or verify an archive? Are you tapes getting a bit old and
starting to give you troubles like this? Did your previous parallel
port tape drive EOT sensor die and force you to master the Zen art
of respooling TR cartridges? Did you have to respool 3 cartridges
(one twice) before you decided to junk the old drive? If you are
starting to have trouble with a cartridge, it's usually a good idea
to format it. Luckily, the ftape package gives you a command to do
this.
Now, if you are using RH 6.0, remember that they used ftape version
3.04d. You MUST use the tape tools from this distribution of ftape,
the newer tools, specifically ftformat, do NOT work with ftape
3.04d! Download the archive "ftape-3.04d.tar.gz" and look in the
contrib directory.
Let's see what version of ftformat we are using.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ ftformat -V
ftformat ftformat 1.0
Good, this version works with ftape 3.04d.
Let's do a retension to make sure everything is optimum.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ mt -f /dev/nqft0 retension
Now, for some reason I have to be root to use ftformat. I don't
exactly understand why, but that's the way it is.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ su
Password:
[root@godzuki doug]#
Ok, now let's boogie.
[root@godzuki doug]# ftformat -f /dev/nrawqft0
This command works to format a TR3 cartridge on my machine. If you
using another drive, you might want to check the man page or
ftformat -h for other commands to get it working with your hardware.
Notice I used the RAW device to format the cartridge.
Of all the ftape commands, this takes the longest by far. Luckily,
the cpu usage is very low, so you can continue on with your work.
The "mt" command has many useful functions. The ones that I use
most are "retension, status, eod, fsf and rewind" The "mt" command
is used with tar to store more than one archive on a cartridge.
While tar knows how to archive files, it doesn't have a clue on how
to move the tape around; that's mt's job.
Say you already have an archive on tape and you wish to add another.
First you might want to use the listtape script included with the
ftape tools to check out the contents of the cartridge.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ listtape -f /dev/nqft0
file number block size volume size tape space
0 10240 1.4 gigabytes 1.4 gigabytes
Remaining space: 180.0 megabytes
Tape block size: 10240
Ok, say that I would like to stick another tar archive after this
one. If I just executed a tar command, this archive would be
written-over. Enter mt:
[doug@godzuki doug]$ mt -f /dev/nqft0 eod
What, no tape sound? Well, mt just moves some kinda internal
pointer. So don't get worried if nothing happens right away. You
should here the tape drive spin fast before the archive is written.
Ok, lets make a small archive to try things out.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ tar -cvf /dev/qft0 mp3
mp3/
mp3/09-give_it_away.mp3
mp3/ACDC_-_Back_In_Black.mp3
Ok, I just made an archive of my massive mp3 collection. Let's use
listtape to see if it's really there.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ listtape -f /dev/nqft0
file number block size volume size tape space
0 10240 1.4 gigabytes 1.4 gigabytes
1 10240 8.2 megabytes 8.2 megabytes
Remaining space: 171.8 megabytes
Tape block size: 10240
Hey, it worked! Let's move the tape ahead and check the archive.
[doug@godzuki doug]$ mt -f /dev/nqft0 fsf 1
[doug@godzuki doug]$ tar -dvf /dev/qft0
mp3/
mp3/09-give_it_away.mp3
mp3/ACDC_-_Back_In_Black.mp3
The first command moved the tape to mp3 tar file. Note how the fsf
command number is the same as listtape's output. The second command
just tells tar to verbosely compare the archive to the harddrive.
As always, see the man pages for more information on how to use
these
utilities.
Well, that pretty much covers the basics of tape backup for linux.
Now that you know how to do it the tar way, you should check out the
program taper, it makes tape backups MUCH easier and faster if you
are just interested in backing-up a single machine. Taper sports a
user-friendly interface, archive listings stored on hard drive for
quick access and support for the "quick fast forwards" on the tape
drive. It is very quick and easy to restore a single file backed-up
with taper, something that can't be said for tar. The compression
with taper also works well, it's cpu friendly and very safe- each
file is compressed separately. I highly recommend this program!
Unfortunately, those red hatted guys have a really screwed-up
version of taper included with the RH 6.0 distribution, it seg-
faults like crazy. Checkout the taper home page for a updated
version of taper that works with the 2.2 kernels:
http://www.omen.net.au/~yusuf/
I'm using Taper 6.9a which seems to work fine with RH 6.0. You will
have to compile it from the tarball. I'm not aware of a rpm right
now.
Enjoy your tape drive under Linux and stay safe with backups!

SuSE will erase old core dumps after 7 days on my PC, I haven't
changed the default. This keeps me from cleaning up. I haven't
found any core dump this week. I could say that SuSE is very
stable, I have used RedHat for over 1.5 years (Slackware before) and
I find SuSE much more stable than any of the RedHat install that
I've had.

I also use rdate to set my Linux box time using cron. On my Windows machines
I use the following command to set their time against the Linux box. The
"net" command comes with every version of Windows I'm aware of.
net time \\linuxbox /s /y

Capitalism is man exploiting man

This is a followup to my previous reply.
NOTE: "rdate" does not set the Hardware Clock (bios clock), it sets the
system time only. I use the command "hwclock" in conjunction with "rdate"
when my cron job kicks off. That way, if I have to reboot, (very very rare!)
I can be sure that my time is close to accurate. I.E. +/- a few seconds. My
cron job kicks off once a day.
