try to get a tom's root (http://www.toms.net/rb/)
or similar one disk distros from the net and boot up,
mount the harddisk, make your changes to the
suggested files.
I guess you can do a chroot to this mounted root partition
and then do a lilo to install your boot loader.

Mine plays, but won't record. Linux thinks it's talking to a
WSS card on /dev/dsp, and an SB 16 clone on /dev/dsp1.
To get the kernel settings right I configured the thing with
the official CMI8330 drivers in Windows 95, noted the IRQs
and such and typed them into make config.
The blasted thing won't record under Windows 95 either, FWIW.

Under RH6.0, you apparently need the following line
in /etc/conf.modules
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
In my case, without that, although the devices /dev/lp*
were there, they were not recognized as such by the system.
If
ls -l /dev/lp*
reports devices, and you don't have the above line in
conf.modules, try adding it.

Red Hat Linux's printtool program makes this easy. I suppose there are

I need to know the name of the program executing on LINUX 5.1 -
On Solaris I can do the following:
int pid = getpid();
pspsinfo_t prstatus;
sprintf(buf, "/proc/%.5d", pid);
int fd = open(buf, O_RDONLY);
ioctl(fd, PIOCPSINFO, &prstatus);
prstatus.pr_fname will be the name of my executing program.
Is there a way to do the same on Linux 5.1 ???
Thanks in advance.

Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 22:08:58 GMT
No need to type a lot, use dmesg to have a look at that. :-)
BTW I use this script as root to make the zipdrive available
#!/bin/sh
# Script to load zipdrive
# 18-7-99 LLA
# Use the 2nd parallel port
modprobe -v ppa 0x278,1,6,0
# The rest is in /etc/fstab
mount /mnt -v
Setting the drive with options rw,noauto,user in /etc/fstab, enables
other users to unmount/mount as they like. But only when root gives
them initial access, as it should be.
When the systems admin wants to grant acces al the time, I thinks an
autoload of the ppa module is needed. (another kernel compile) I did
not do this since I do not use the zipdrive that often.
Many thanks to Kyle Denzie for the zipdrive mini howto v 2.2 !

I haven't tried to record but I just got my 8330 working in the last day or
so. Turns out I had the headphone plugged into the wrong jack.
I followed the directions in the 2.2.10 kernel documentation:
Documentation/sound/CMI8330
In short, compile the sound drivers as a module, and load in a particular
order.
In the 8330 mini FAQ (which you can find by searching for CMI8330 at
www.deja.com) there is a program that configures the 8330 called fixcmi.
I got it to work after removing the check for the card's status register.
BTW I didn't do any Win95 stuff, because i don't have a copy of Win95.
I plan to use the board as my prototype MP3 player. It sounds OK, not great
but that's good enough for a prototype.

Eric,
1 - in a shell, type...
printtool
2 - click away the notices.
3 - select "add"
4 - enter the login name of the machine that has the printer
5 - enter the password, if any, for that machine, otherwise leave blank
6 - enter the workgroup for that machine's network presence
7 - select the appropriate input filter.
8 - finish the add, click on the new printer entry, and "print test page" from
tests menu
9 - if the text comes out with only one line, click on the printer entry
and edit it, then in the input filter window, click the stair stepping button
(or LF->CR/LF, whatever it's marked)
To actually print, from the shell, this will do it:
ls >tmp
lpr tmp
rm tmp (answer y<CR> to the question)
...that's redirect the output of the dir command to a file, "tmp",
lpr (LinePRint) it, and ReMove the file.
That should do it for you. Note that Linix has pretty sorry printing
capabilities, take a look at Ghostscript for postscript output conversions.
Good luck!

Indeed, Memory is important. I have a 486 with 20 Mg of ram. It is
suitable for running most everything, just a bit slower. I still feel

Hello people(s):
I keep getting a strange kernel error when I start some applications. I
get a:
neighbour table overflow
This just gets printed to the screen (I suspect to stderr) when I run a
program.
It noticed it when a) starting ical, b) startx.
It doesn't show up on xterms in X, but on any virtual terminal, whether I
am logged in or not, it shows up.
It hasn't done anything. My compiles finnished and there were no problems
with ical or X. The first time I noticed it was when I tried to crash the
system.
I was compiling a kernel, and I switched to another virtual terminal and
startx.
I never noticed it before I upgraded to kernel 2.2.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestion about it and what I might do? I
am a newbie trying to graduate to Level 2. (understand redirection and
piping, I want to start writing shell scripts)
Thanks

After having Redhat 5.2 coexisting with Win 95 on a 13.0 Gig hd for

use a DOS boot disk and invoke fdisk /mbr. Committed the cardinal sin
of not making boot or rescue disks for the installation.
Is there any way I can recreate LILO and access the intact file systems

I have learned that resuce and boot disks are best made before they are
